Chapter 682: *How are she going to play with us?*
The healer then explained to them, "The materials used to build these towers are very special, and once someone can’t endure the training anymore on the floors of the tower, they are expelled from it thanks to these silver vortexes, and they have to start from the first floor again, no matter how far they went before being expelled."
He then told them, as he led them to the palace where they would all be able to register for the towers and where they could eat and rest in their rooms, "There are a lot of different kinds of training inside these towers: physical training, mind training, soul training. Of course, I don’t know the limit of the power of these towers, so I don’t know if they will be able to train Warrior Spirits or Divine creatures. But even if they can’t, I’m sure that with this experience, you will be able to create one for yourself that will help you grow even stronger."
Kevin, like Willow, could only smile after hearing this and so Axel, seeing them so enthusiastic and eager to try these towers, still said to them, before it was too late to stop them, "Not today; let’s rest first. The both of you can meditate, but no more fighting or training. I don’t want one of you to lose consciousness again."
As he felt that Kevin wanted to protest or at least try to reason with him, he said to him, looking straight in his eyes, "This is not negotiable, so don’t even try."
Kevin then bit his lower lip, but as he had already lost consciousness once today, he could also understand Axel’s worries, so he finally nodded and said to his daughter, "Sorry, sweetie, but Dad is right. Let’s just try the first levels where we can meditate, and if it is not convenient for you, then you can just go into our personal dimension and resume your training."
Willow nodded, and once they arrived at the palace, where all the most powerful Black Elves were living, Willow quickly forgot her disappointment when she saw kids playing, and they were even using vines and fighting techniques.
Willow then looked at her Daddies, hoping to get their approval to go and play with them, but Axel then told her, "First, let’s eat, and I would prefer that you use your Phoenix form to eat as you have used your Sacred Fire energy to fight today. And then, of course, you can go play with them, but don’t use weapons or your Divine powers, and don’t hurt them; they are only playing, alright?"
Willow looked at the kids again; she didn’t want to miss the chance to play with them. And when the healer saw how she was looking at them, he smiled and whistled to call the kids.
They all stopped dead in their tracks and looked at him, wondering why they were called out, but they quickly made their vines disappear and gathered around before saying in unison, "Greetings, Elder!"
The kids then looked curiously at the people around their Elder, and when they saw Peter, some of the kids exclaimed, throwing themselves into Peter’s arms, "Uncle Peter, Uncle Peter, you’re back!"
Peter laughed happily and knelt down to hug the kids, "Yes, I’m back, and Maya is alright too; she will be back soon."
One of the kids then asked the healer, "Elder, are our guests the ones who saved Uncle Peter and our Highness?"
The healer then said, ruffling his hair, "You are right; they are our saviors, and among them are Peter and our Highness’ daughters. Let me introduce them to you."
The healer then proceeded to introduce everyone to the kids, and when he introduced Willow to them, he asked the kids if they wanted to play with her, and one of them then said, "But she can’t use vines; how is she going to play with us?"
Axel then told them, before Willow panicked, "Easy, you can all try to catch her with your vines, but if she touches you before you are eliminated, does that sound fair to you?"
Kevin’s smile widened when he saw all these kids looking very excited now to play with Willow, but Axel then said, "If you agree, Willow has to eat first, and then she will come to play with you."
As they agreed, Axel winked at Willow, and she disappeared to eat in their personal dimension.
The magic beasts were stored there, and it was more convenient for her to eat in their personal dimension as she had already promised her Daddies that she would listen to them when they asked her to use her Phoenix form. And since she didn’t want to scare the other kids, she preferred to hide from them the fact that in her Phoenix form she only ate raw meat.
Kevin and Axel then disappeared as well, following their daughter, and Atlas then explained to the healer, "They have a personal dimension, and they won’t let their daughter eat alone. Willow, as a Phoenix and the first Divine Phoenix, has to eat special food that you won’t be able to provide her."
Peter then said to the kids, as they didn’t seem to understand the situation, "Kids, do not worry; they will come back after a while, and this pretty little girl will really play with all of you, and you better try your best to catch her, or you won’t be able to succeed. Got it?"
All the kids then said, "Yes, Uncle Peter!"
The kids then returned to play where they were earlier, and Peter then thanked the healer and told him that he would take care of everything and that he could go rest now.
The healer then bowed his head to them before leaving, and Peter then led them to their rooms. Once settled, they all went to eat close to the area where the kids were playing, and just when they finished their dinner, Axel, Kevin, and Willow came back.
