Exploring the sea and building a house.

Edric and the children reached the seashore, it was filled with black sand and the place was cold and windy.

The three children looked in awe at the size of the endless sea, and Edric found their reactions funny.

Edric looked at the sea and then thought about making a ship, but since he didn't know how safe this sea was he was going to examine it alongside the children.

He looked at them and told them to follow him as he started swimming in the ocean.

When he entered it he found lots of black algae and fish of similar color.

The children were quite shocked, because this was the first time they swam in their lifes.

Edric saw them swimming clumsily and then showed them how to swim properly, they started imitating him and then they started doing it properly.

Edric and the children swam until they started hearing a unique sound.

It sounded like something out of this world, With a constant, high pitch sound that was occasionally interrupted by something similar to clicking.

Edric heard this and recognized this sound as something similar to a vocalization made by a leopard seal, but the sound he was hearing now also carried small amounts of essence in it.

He used his senses and looked around a 100km radius of himself, and when he did he found a 8m long water mammal that was similar to seals, it was completely black and it seemed to use essence whenever it moved.

Edric continued to expand his senses, and he started seeing more species that were about as strong as the ones that were in land, and he also found one massive being similar to a helicoprion that seemed to be stronger then the dragon that Anas had fought.

Edric decided to delay traveling to another continent until the children were able to travel this place easily, because even if he could transport them flying there was no need to rush things and increasing their strength would be something beneficial.

They would be fine fighting beings like this if they were on land, but in the water the children would be in great disadvantage against the sea creatures, although Anas could probably adapt to this.

Edric and the children swam towards the seashore and then Edric had the idea of building a house manually.

He told the children to bring materials and then he waited for them, he did not explain why he wanted the materials, however.

when the children brought the materials Edric started cutting them using his hands until he had some wooden planks, stone bricks, some leafs from a plant similar to a palm and some sticks.

He looked at the children and spoke.

[Follow my instructions]

The children looked confused but still listened to Edric.

Edric started giving orders to the children, and the children followed them faithfully, and eventually something resembling a cabin started forming.

Edric and the children worked manually and created the roof, then a door and then they continued working on the building, which had a big size.

They continued working during hours and then the house was finally completed at the sunset.

It had two floors, a balcony, three rooms and a living room.

It looked quite simple, but it had charm to it, and it still didn't have any furniture.

The children looked at the result of their work and then smiled with satisfaction.

Edric looked at the children and smiled.

[This will be our house, we will sleep and eat here, this is the result of your work](E)

The children had surprised looks on their faces and then looked around inside the empty house.

[You can fill it with anything you want to, and we will all sleep in different rooms]

The children looked inside the rooms. Edric and Anas had separate rooms while Tihoro and Urosu shared one room together.

Night came and Edric formed a light source using essence, and then he modified the two siblings so that they could eat food.

He then pulled out some dragon meat and the group had a meal together inside of the house they built.
