Atticus walked through the hallway with Yotad and Dario following close behind him. Dario had just interrupted Atticus's training, informing him about Magnus's call.
Atticus's pace was brisk. His excitement could not be hidden. In fact, although it sounded far fetched, it was as though he momentarily forgot about the perilous upcoming situation a year from now.
He was excited to learn more about his elements. Being able to change the composition of his elements was something he was truly looking forward to, especially considering the fact that he had nine elements!
It would most definitely be time consuming, focusing on multiple elements at once. But at the same time, it would be worth it.
The walk was quick and without interruptions, the trio reaching the control room within a few seconds.
Atticus's eyes scanned around the room as he entered. Its layout remained unchanged, and so did the people. The whole crew was present, but...
'He's not here yet?'
No matter how Atticus looked, he just couldn't find Magnus. Atticus shot Dario a look, which made him flinch and quickly respond, "I apologize, young master, Master Magnus just asked us to meet him at the control room."
Atticus didn't say anything, turning his gaze back to the front of the elevated podium where most of the crew members had already gathered and approached.
Atticus couldn't help but feel the shock in the air. He could vividly remember Amara and the other crew members going through the same thing the day before when they found out the airship's destination.
The other crew members must have just found out about the same thing.
Only someone with complete confidence in his strength could have done what Atticus had just done.
A wave of excitement couldn't help but wash through the captain's body. 'Our family really hit the jackpot,'
The captain cleared his throat and shot one of the operators controlling the airship a stare. The man realized what was being asked of him and responded in kind, "In four, three, two, one... and go."
The display in front of the control room, initially showing a bluish blur, suddenly changed as the airship abruptly stopped, leaving Atticus and the other crew members to bask in the awe of the magnificent scene ahead of them.
They were hovering above a sea of clouds, the sunlight pouring down and making the clouds radiate with a golden light.
The view was ethereal, as if they had ascended to a realm of pure light and beauty. The golden hued clouds stretched endlessly, their surfaces shimmering with the reflected sunlight.
Above these radiant clouds, eight grand structures floated in the sky, each one a marvel of architecture and design, spaced far apart from each other.
These floating fortresses each represented a different element and were built based on their respective elements. The eight Elemental Sanctums.
The Fire Sanctum glowed with an inner crimson light, its walls appearing to be made of molten lava that cooled into solidified flames. Towers spiraled upwards like blazing torches, with flames dancing along their edges. It seemed alive with the element of fire.
The Water Sanctum was a shimmering cascade, its walls formed from flowing water that defied gravity, held together by an unseen force. The fortress resembled an enormous waterfall, with streams and rivers winding through its towers and battlements, the sound of rushing water filling the air.
The Air Sanctum was suspended on invisible currents, a series of floating islands connected by delicate bridges made of mist. The structures were light and airy, with spires reaching toward the heavens and banners fluttering in the wind. It seemed as if a gentle breeze constantly caressed its surfaces.
