Inside the Tiny World, there was a sorting going on.
Lady Matilda had sent an Avatar clone of herself to the space, and she had gathered all the visitors from Gathuzan for an announcement.
"After the Tribulation, the Karl has been sent to the Immortal Realm for training. So, the Tiny World will be moving with him, and you all need to be removed to go home and finish your own advancements." She explained.
"Wait, all of us? Aliah, the Matron of the Tiny World's orphanage, demanded.
"Not all of you, just the ones who don't live here. The Darklight Host members can stay if they want, there will be opportunities for them inside the Tiny World. But the others need to go back to Gathuzan and their home nations, or it will interfere with their intended life path.
I have already sent someone to inform the Guild and Alliance members that Karl and Dana have advanced and will be gone for some time in the Immortal Realms.
They were fine with it, as the basics of their crafting skills were left behind and the Drodh Guild House is capable of continuing everything that they had started.
Sapphire is not happy with them, as she is technically the ranking member now, and the acting Guild Leader with them gone."
Tessa laughed. "Did you at least do something to help calm her down? She might just quit if she can't spend time with her books."
Matilda's Avatar nodded. "Indeed. I finalized the potion that Remi was making to advance Totems to Myths when they reach the bottleneck, and that made the blue dragon exceptionally happy.
But she has also recruited more dragons from the Church and some Dwarves to run the Zilaz Alliance House.
As it turns out, when things are already settled, finding a new Raid Team isn't that hard. It helps that Matilda actually has copies of all the Golem spells, and Inscriptionists to make them for the new members.
The new team is a Cleric, a Paladin, two Shamans with Golem spells, and a Warrior. Or three warriors and a Golem Creation amulet for the Cleric, if someone steals the mythic shamans to work as healers.
I suspect that is how it will usually go."
Tessa nodded. "That sounds like it will work, and the Alliance can't say that we're slacking. Most of the Alliance financing from our side comes from the Arena and the items or sale anyhow."
The group from Gathuzan were simply staring at the two in awe. That was the Supreme Lady, now a true Legend. What other Guild would have the honour of getting her to simply show up and take care of issues for them while their branch leaders were away in the Immortal Realm?
"We will gladly take your offer of assistance to head home." Prince Nathan agreed, speaking for the others who had only come along to hunt monsters, but had gotten trapped in the Tiny World when Karl closed it to advance.
Lotus turned to Ophelia and Nachtia. "Are we going back to play with the bunnies? Or are we staying to play with the dragons?"
That was actually a fine question. They would need years to be ready to reach Immortality, possibly longer. Which meant that they would be trapped in the Tiny World for the foreseeable future.
However, something about Matilda's smirk at that question said that it might not be such a bad thing to remain here for some time.
Possibly because of the way that the mana was changing after Karl's advancement.
The Tiny World was still being fed by him, and it had begun to change after being left open near the Hippos. So, it more closely resembled the Immortal Realm now than the Mortal, even with the dense mana on the Dragon Isles.
"We will stay for now. Once Karl and Dana are comfortable in their new home, we can get him to open us a portal to the Zilaz Guild House so that we can go back and forth."
Lotus nodded in satisfaction. That was a good option. Especially with the adorable Gryphon patterned Golems in that house. Mythic Rank gargoyles would keep their house safe while they were gone.
They should have let Karl make them new stuff to protect the houses.
But they could bring it back the next time that they went to visit, and that would still be fun. It might make some of the locals, like Lord Drodh, a bit insane if they had Immortal Rank Gargoyles in the house, but Lotus knew the trick to blocking the feeling of their presence now, so it should be fine.
If you were in the house, you would feel the difference in the mana from the active spell, but it wouldn't terrify everyone like a bunch of actual Immortals would.
Plus, higher rank fluffy creatures were somehow fluffier than the mundane ones.
And she would get them faster by staying here.
"We agree to your terms. We will train in here for now, and then when it's safe to open the portal again, we will go check on the Darklight Host back home."
The projected image of the Chaos Dragon gave her a knowing smile. "I knew that you would see it my way sooner or later.
Alright, dragons, time to go home, everyone line up and I will open the portals to Gathuzan. Say your goodbyes to the guests here in Karl's World."
The goodbyes weren't tearful, but the dragons were still reluctant to leave this strange and powerful place full of strange druids and dragon eggs. It had been an adventure of its own, just being here for a few days on what would amount to a vacation, given that they mostly sunned themselves on a mountain face, or played in the lake.
Ophelia knew that they would spread word of their trip to the Nobles of their nation, and then slowly to the rest of the continent as gossip.
The question was whether anyone would believe it.
Telling everyone that both leaders of the Darklight Host's branch had reached Immortality on the same day would seem like an absurd dramatization to anyone who didn't know them, and the Soul Bond was a rare bit of magic that most had never actually seen in action.
