Leo had trained magic for more than a week already. He had learned the basics for energy, matter and space manipulation, while combining it with spirit control training. That day, Andur told him he would take him to the city. It was the first time since he got to that world he would see a city there, so he was a bit excited.

The three of them left soon after dawn. Andur used space manipulation magic to open a portal that led them to a big, circular hall with many other portals opening and closing. Andur told him they had some magic bindings in that place so that two portals would never open in the same spot. The hall was in the third floor of a bigger building someone decided to call the 'meeting point' (Leo thought it must have been the same guy who named the firdge substitute). 

The building was made of white stone with a lot of drawings in the walls, and had three floors. The floors were connected by stairs in the outer side, and each level had four doors, one in each cardinal direction. The lower one was a big hall just the same size of the one they arrived to, full of tables and chairs, in a shape resembling a restaurant, but without any visible bar or waiter. Even like that, there were many people sitting, some just waiting, and others chatting, with occasionally one or two drinking clear water from floating balls. The second one was closed to the normal people so Leo couldn't see what was in it, and the third one was the hall where they appeared.

The city seemed big. It extended as far as Leo could see from where he was in the third floor. The normal houses and buildings were usually of only one level, but some of them sticked out with a second floor. There was, however, one building that was bigger and taller than all the others. It was surrounded by a tall wall, and had many smaller towers around a bigger one. Leo couldn't tell if he was looking at a castle, or a cathedral, or something else, but he was admiring it too much to ask.

There was a big street that connected the meeting point with that place, and they were talking on it, just as many other people.  When they reached one of the perpendicular streets, Ly said she had things to do in a different place, and left. Leo and Andur continued to walk towards that big building.

- Sir Aldur! - said a main coming from their left - How nice seeing you around. It has been a while! Is some important matter needing the attention of the Order?

- Oh nothing urgent, that's for sure. I want to show this boy how things work in this world.

- Oh? Let me come with you, I might be able to help with that.

- I'm sure of it. Come, we are heading for the cathedral, I want to show him the Blaar.

Leo was surprised to hear Aldur being called 'sir', and supposed it was just out of respect.

They walked a bit more until they reached the gates of the cathedral, that were guarded by two men.

- Identify yourselves please - said one of the guards -.

- Do I need to? - said Aldur -

When the guard noticed him, his face changed to a state between fear and surprise, then he quickly turned around and looked up to the gate workers.

- The High Bladir of Naar, Aldur! Open the gates!

That title shocked Leo mode than anything else, as he had read about the Order of the Bladir, but never expected Aldur to be part of it, even less to be so high in it! There are only four persons with the title of 'High Bladir', one for each of the main spirit colors, red, green, blue, and silver, and they only have the Supreme Bladir, and the gods, above them. Naar was the ancient goddess of time and space, and that attributed Andur the title of the most knowledgeable expert on time/space manipulation. Suddenly, Leo had an answer for some of his questions, like how could Andur save them from the cave without suffering any damage.

When the gates were completely open, they walked into the cathedral walls. As he had seen from the meeting point, there was a bigger central tower with smaller towers around, but inside the walls, those towers didn't seem small at all. Leo noticed the bottom of the central tower had no doors of windows, and supposed it was a security measure, in case some invasion tried to reach the central tower. They walked to one of the smaller towers, and they did a short ritual in it, to clean their spirit, before going to the central tower using a bridge many meters above the ground.

The level of the tower they reached seemed to be for the lower persons, as everyone bowed before Andur as he walked. Leo was following Andur a few steps behind, partly because of the new respect he had grown towards him, and partly because he was captivated by the beauty in that cathedral, full of small details in every wall, column, door and window.

They reached some stairs in the back of the building and walked up through them. Then they had to talk through a long corridor near the walls of the tower, to reach a big door in the other side.

At the other side of the door, there was a big circular room. From Leo's calculations, it occupied the whole space in the center of the tower, only surrounded by walls and the corridor around it. In the room there were many seatings. Four groups of ten seats at the bottom, making half a circle, with one upper seat behind them, and a bigger seat, like a throne, in the opposite side to the door. All the seats except for one were being used, and Leo realized that the missing person was Andur. 

Unlike he expected, the people of the order didn't wear any uniforms, and also they didn't wear any marks or drawings that could identify them as being part of a specific position in the order. Even the Supreme Bladir, one or the more important persons of that world, if not the most, was wearing casual clothes.

When the people in the room heard them enter, they stopped talking, and looked at him. The doors closed behind them, and Leo noticed the man that was with them didn't enter the room.

- I am sorry for my lateness, your Supremacy Khaar - said Andur with a strong voice -. I was busy with other matters that delayed me. And he is one of them - he said, while looking at Leo -, as I will tell you when the moment comes. For now I will sit in my place and let the Blaar continue. - Andur looked at Leo and continued in a softer voice - You stay here. Don't sit, don't talk, don't walk, and try to make it seem like if you weren't here at all. It won't take long.

Even if it didn't take more than an hour, Leo had troubles to keep himself that way. His legs were tired of staying all that time in the same place, and he was really bored, so he ended up thinking about some of the ancient words he had learned in the past days. He was so concentrated in his thoughts he didn't notice Andur had walked to the center of the room, and was talking in there.

- ... no special events have taken place in the eastern area. I came today to present you, against what most of us thought after the incident three years ago, my latest, and probably last, disciple - the people had varied reactions, but the most general one was surprise -. His name is Leonard, and he is a visitor from our brother world, Kthalen, or as they call it, Earth.

Andur looked at Leo and made a movement with his hand telling him to go where he was. Leo walked slowly, trying not to trip over because his tired legs, and happy to be able to move at least. When he reached the center of the room, the Supreme Bladir, Khaar, talked.

- Welcome to the Blaar, boy - said the Supreme Bladir with his soft, melodic voice, before looking at Andur -. How come you decided to accept a new disciple, Andur? I thought you didn't want to do the test anymore? Did you accept him without a proper test?

- No, no. I accepted him because he is special. I saw his power in use before the test, and even if it was rough and without control, the potential was there. He did pass the test.

- Special? - said a High Bladir - This is an uncommon word around here. How come you consider him special?

- Do you not trust my word?

- I do trust you, but I have to doubt the 'specialness' of him.

- Then, why don't you test it? - said a voice coming from the other side - make him show us his power!

- Good idea... Leonard! If you really want to be part of this world, you will need me to accept you in it. And for that to happen, you will have to show it to me... show me your power!

Leo was somewhat scared, and he was getting ready to open his eye. When Khaar interrupted him.

- Not so fast, Rhuar, Leo. If you start to fight in here, you could break something! Let's first go to a better place for this little demonstration of 'power'.

And with a small movement of his hand, the whole place changed around them. The seats around the center moved away and the center of the room became big. Also the walls disappeared completely, letting them see the sky of the morning, with a few clouds, and the shining sun.

Everyone in the room moved in their seats, and even Andur, that was near him, moved away with them. The only two persons who didn't change distances were Leo, and the High Bladir, Ruar.

That chance in the place somehow calmed Leo, and replaced the fear with a strange excitation. Rhuar wanted to see his power? He would show him.
