25 To the Vanaheim

"Is this the way to the Vanaheim?" Liam looked at ocean in front of him, and asked Swain beside him.

"Yes, although it is not the proper way and I can take you with teleportation, but it is better to use this passage. Anyway, it is in ocean, so there is no worry. In this way, possibility of being found by Supreme mage is much lower."

"Who is supreme mage? And why are you afraid of him? Is he stronger than you?"

"Its her, not him. She is the guardian of Atrium, this planet which you call Earth. And I am not afraid of her, its just that I don't want to alarm her. As for matter of who is stronger, Although I'm not good as her, but only for now. In just a century, I will surely be stronger than her."

Liam nodded. He was very interested in the things introduced to him by Swain, but he is holding his curiosity. Anyway, he will know about these things later.

Swain moved toward ocean and signaled Liam to follow him. They have solved all the matters of Liam on Earth for now. Liam's brother is very young, so Swain couldn't let Liam give him all the responsibilities to handle. So, he created a clone of Liam using projection and illusion magic. It can help in place of Liam until his brother is mature enough to handle the affairs. In this way, no will find about Liam's disappearance, and Swain and Liam can also check the situation from time to time.

...

In a mountain cave, two people walked through a space crack. Liam looked at the space around him and asked Swain, "Is it Vanaheim?"

"Yes, it is. Let me show you the place." Swain waved his hand and he and Liam were suspended in the air. They flew out of the mountain and moved in the air looking at everything around them.

"How's the view?"

"It's beautiful. I have never seen anything like this in my whole life. It's still hard to believe that we are not on the Earth." Liam looked at everything around him surprised. This feels like heaven told by priests. The strange animals, beautiful forests, huge ocean and the people here doesn't feel like something one can even imagine. Just a few days ago, he never even imagined anything like this.

In front of Silver Palace, Swain and Liam landed.

"How does it feel compared to yours?"

"There's no comparison." Liam answerd looking around him dumbfounded. Although Swain told him that Gold and Silver doesn't matter to here, but the huge palace in front of him still makes him feel speechless. All the beautiful things and buildings which he has seen in his life, doesn't even come close to it.

Swain took Liam with him and entered the palace. The guards at the gate saw Swain coming, they immediately bowed.

"Welcome, Your Majesty."

"Congratulations on your return."

"We will notify Lord Nezit."

They didn't know that Swain had already come out a month ago and had gone to atrium. They just thought that Swain was still busy in training and has just come out.

Swain nodded to them and went toward his living area. Nezit will notified soon, and will come to him.

"Why are they acting like as if they saw you after a long time." asked Liam.

"Yes its a long time. Maybe the last time, they saw me was about ten years ago. I was a little busy in the past a little."

Liam was quiet hearing this. He still feels a little unbelievable when Swain talks about years like days. He asked, "How old are you?"

"About 150 years."

"Its too long. I am just one forth of you."

"Don't worry. Soon age will also not matter to you. And I am not so old as compared to my life span."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you feel something different here compared to the Earth?"

"What difference?"

"Anything."

"Yes its a little warm here. I feel relaxed and fully of energy than before."

"Its because of the divine power here. There is no such thing as divine energy on Earth, but Vanaheim has recently regained divine power and is full of it. So your body is adapting better here. You will have longer life span and greater strength than before after living here for some time, and maybe you might even awaken divine power like me in the future."

"How is this possible?" Liam asked a little stunned. He can still accept the previous things, but It's shocking for him to hear that he might become a God.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Although it's a little difficult, but it's still possible for you." Swain said to Liam seriously. Liam doesn't know, but his potential is huge.

P.S. If there are any suggestions for plot, then you can tell. Although I have many plots in mind, but they are some arcs away. So I am still thinking about the present plot.
