Transmigrated as a Ghost

With Motis waving them off, the four of them promptly left, not wanting to get on the bad side of one of the strongest beings on the continent.

Of course, Marcus especially had more that he wanted to talk to Motis about. And to take a better look at the mythic beast's home. But Motis did not seem to be in any mood to host them any longer. Having his stable deal with Tralenstein being turned upside down after over eight hundred years.

Exiting through the fog that perpetually surrounded Motis' home, their group soon came out into the woods that made up Motis' domain.

Quickly, the four of them made their way back out, avoiding any trouble this time.

Then once they had exited the woods, Marcus took the form of the huge caladrius and began flying back towards Tralenstein's capital.

Once they had arrived back in the city, Marcus and Mrazivý said their farewells to Daniela and Marek, before heading towards the northern end of the city where Lyra was waiting for them.

"There is her carriage." Mrazivý said, spotting the crest of Lyra's family on the side of it.

Heading on over, the guards that were surrounding the carriage let the two of them through, and one of them opened up the carriage doors to reveal Lyra.

"You are back quicker than I expected." Lyra said with a smile, as she put down the book she had been reading.

Shuffling into the large carriage, Marcus and Mrazivý sat across from Lyra and began telling her about their meeting with Motis.

"I see. So, it was pretty short, and everything is really going to be left up to Motis' negotiation with Gwyneira. I just hope that it does not turn into a fight." Lyra said with a bit of concern in her voice.

Certainly, if Motis became hostile and decided to go on a rampage, it was likely that a fight between him and Gwyneira could cause major damage to both kingdoms.

"I do not think that is going to happen. The impression I got from Motis is that he prefers to be left alone for the most part but is still pretty civil. I think as long as he continues to get the same benefits he got from the original deal he made long ago with the first monarch of Tralenstein, he will not cause any problems." Marcus said giving his opinion on the matter.

After that, the three of them talked about the future plans they had made.

"So, on the third week of summer we are still set to all meet up in the capital of Boreas?" Lyra asked wanting to confirm their plans.

"Yep, then we can show you around the city, and introduce you to some people, before we head off to the main event." Mrazivý said, already feeling restless for their upcoming adventure.

Nodding his head, Marcus too was looking forward to it, and said, "Yes, I anticipate it is going to be fun, and full of surprises. I am just glad that James was able to move his schedule around so that we could all go and more thoroughly explore the crystal caverns together."

"Well, you did say that being calling itself the administrator of this world told you to check it out, so all of us going together will make for an even better time." Mrazivý said, more than happy to go with everyone even if originally it was just supposed to be her and her brother.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Lightly knocking on the door, one of Lyra's attendants waited for Lyra's acknowledgment, and once he had it, opened the door.

"Your grace, all the preparations are ready and everyone who will be traveling with us has arrived. We are ready to return to Valenhart whenever you wish." The young half elf attendant said to Lyra.

"Thank you for the update, Osmorn. Give me just a couple of minutes to finish talking to my friends and we can be on our way."

Bowing his head, Osmorn, closed the door to Lyra's carriage, and went to inform the others that they would be leaving soon.

"Looks like our time is up." Lyra said looking a bit forlorn.

Smiling, Marcus said, "Yeah, for now we are going to have to part ways, but it will only be for a few months. You need to return to run your city and territory, and I need to get back to my original mission and go and see Forlorieous. Then after that I have to go and visit the ice elf city as Borealia's representative for a couple of months."

Sighing, Lyra knew that they needed to go their separate ways for now to attend to their duties, but she was still a bit sad to be having to be away from Marcus, and Mrazivý who had become her friend as well.

"Well, I suppose that this is goodbye for now. But when I come to Borealia you two had better show me all of the best parts." Lyra said, while giving a hug to both Marcus and Mrazivý.

After that, the three of them parted ways, as Lyra gave the command for her entourage to begin the journey back to Valenhart.

Waving goodbye, Marcus and Mrazivý waited to speak until Lyra had gone out of view.

"So, are you sure that you will be fine transporting all of the items from the castle's vault to Borealia?" Marcus asked Mrazivý.

"Yeah, it should not be a problem. It will only take me a couple of days if I fly, and it is not like anyone knows what I am carrying anyway." Mrazivý said with a face full of confidence.

"Okay, but if you run into any trouble do not hesitate to call me. I will come running as fast as I can." Marcus said.

"Same goes for you. If you get into another mess, make sure to tell me, and I will come and bail you out again." Mrazivý said with a smirk on her face.

She then moved close to Marcus and gave him a long kiss on the lips, before moving away and saying, "When you get back make sure to come see me before you leave again. I have something special planned for the two of us."

Following that she winked at Marcus, before going into her full dragonoid form and flying high into the sky.

'I guess I should try and finish this up quickly.' Marcus thought as he watched Mrazivý fly away.

Exiting the city himself, Marcus turned towards the west and began flying towards the large tree that was faintly visible off in the distance.

However, along the way he needed to stop by and pick up Roxene. Since, instead of leaving her to do nothing inside the city, had left her a few miles outside to play around and hunt.

And this had actually served a two-fold purpose, as Roxene not only kept herself entertained, but also protected the capital city from invading beasts and monsters while it was in the rebuilding process.

'There she is.'

Flying back towards the ground Marcus saw that Roxene was currently engaged with a horde of hog like beasts and was slaughtering them by the dozens.

'Voltaic bombardment.'

Firing off hundreds of bolts of lightning, Marcus fried the remaining beasts. Ending Roxene's fight with them.

'Who said that you could interfere?' Roxene said to Marcus with telepathy, obviously not pleased to have her fun interrupted.

"Sorry but we have already been put way behind schedule by this civil war, so time is of the essence. It is time that we finally go and see Forlorieous."
