Upon reaching the second floor, Fionn saw a huge hall, in which a large magic array was carved into the floor at the centre.

A dozen people were sitting in the lounge on the side, as if waiting for someone, judging from their attires and demeanour majority of them resembles commoners, others look like scions of merchant families.

Just as Fionn was about to walk towards the lounge, an announcement rang.

"Attention everyone, the last teleportation for the day, to the Skyfort was about to begin, all the registered individuals, please move towards the teleportation platform." Said the announcer.

On hearing the announcement, everyone began to walk enthusiastically towards the magic array in the centre of the hall.

Fionn too feeling a little excited began to follow behind them.

A woman from the staff guided them to the magic array and started to explain in a professional tone " It's got to be your first teleport, so you might feel nauseous, no need to worry, there will be no other side effects, Once you reach Skyfort, you will receive your own Void Chamber and a fragment of Gaia's consciousness will be there to guide you through major details."

Suddenly the array started emitting a grey colour light, as the light grew in intensity, the space surrounding them started to warp, watching all that, the participants started to get nervous.

Fionn, who was already like a light bulb, becomes even more noticeable because of his nonchalant behaviour.

The reason Fionn was so nonchalant is simple, due to his Skysurf board Avatar his affinity with space element is extremely high, so teleportation is like a normal walk to him

The staff lady nodded at Fionn with approval, then said "no need to panic, your true journey as a practitioner begins now."

After her words went out, the world around them started turning upside down, people around Fionn began to feel nauseous, as they clutched their mouths but none of them threw up.

After a few seconds, clarity returned to them, but the next scene they saw left the majority of them screaming while puking what they were holding, and the rest outright fainted.

Fionn has an incredulous look on his face as he thought" Do they want to kill me for wrecking their place?"

They were like 10,000 meters above the ground and free falling.

Suddenly an androgynous voice rang around them" Welcome practitioner to the Skyfort, No need to be scared, this is a way to familiarise you briefly with this place, you won't be harmed in any way."

Who are you familiarizing, can't you see the majority of them have already fainted? Thought Fionn, exasperated.

While free falling, Fionn marvelled at what he saw, it was an enormous fortress built of a blue rock, it resembled a classic European fort.

"From this altitude, it looks this enormous, I can't even imagine it's actual scale" thought Fionn, with amazement.

The area surrounding the fortress was shrouded in fog, Fionn knew, only the practitioners of higher rank can access those areas, and their region also have such restricted zones, which they get access to after ranking up.

These restricted areas contains numerous exchange facilities and much more.

Just as they reached the altitude of 1000m, the same sensation of spatial distortion struck them and they teleported again.

Fionn after teleportation found himself inside a chamber constructed with the same blue rock like the fort.

"Must be inside the fort, " thought Fionn.

Fionn then started checking his surroundings, there was nobody other than him inside the Chamber.

" They must have been sent to their respective Chambers." thought Fionn.

The chamber was about 10mx10m in the area, it was completely empty, a stone obelisk was on the front side of the chamber.

Fionn then proceeded to check the obelisk from the base upwards, the obelisk was multi-coloured like the finest of crystals, no engravings could be seen on its surface as Fionn checked, while his eyes moves upwards.

Fionn suddenly froze when he saw a tiny white mouse atop the obelisk.

" Welcome young practitioner." Said the mouse with the same androgynous voice as before, while his eyes shone.

The contrast between the voice and the size looked quite comical.

Fionn looked at the mouse with stupefaction and asked "Are you the fragment of Gaia's consciousness?"
