"Sehki's involvement or not, it's our job to get rid of the Voids," as the golem's twin fists blew the prophet towards the tree while Ainsley climbed on top.

"We complete your commission, and all you get is a limiter removed. What's stopping you from swaying him to your side?"

"Culture shock. The changes to his world has made him distrustful, alienated, and untrustworthy to anyone. You were his companions at one point were you not? He won't side with the people who are responsible for the death and desecration of his family and kingdom. He also won't side with the species that caused the calamity either," bowing.

"I'd say cleanse him and anyone else from Umbra Santacury. Their refugees have polluted our homes far enough," Taylor claimed.

Rigal cracked his head back and forth. "If we wipe him off the board, he doesn't side with either team. Good," cracking his fists. "Real alphas aren't so wishy-washy."

"And I assure you," bowing, "on my name, Cluster, guiding star of the Astrovoids, that finally eliminating him off the board could lead to peace between fae and our kind. Negotiations with your family have already been arranged for that."

Xia cracked her fingers. "Don't get cold feet, remember what he did to us. You couldn't even do your art stuff for a while because of him. We can't go through that again," sweating.

Ainsley reluctantly joined hands. "Fine, but this is to make him quit, not kill him. I don't need a corpse for inspiration, or be like your father."

Xia sucked her teeth. "I am nothing like my parents!"

"We will be. And unlike them, I don't want to spend the rest of my life fighting the Voids, it's a chore."

The quartet looked up at the sky with regret as Cluster left.

"But we're the only ones who can."

The next morning Sehki woke up, took his clothes and had to change. Granted, the other half of his suitcase was lost in the fire, but five outfits was still better than none, bringing his clothes with him after finding a shower in Calypsa's room.

And she was fully dressed.

"What, didn't ask if I wanted to join?"

He tilted his head. "Hey, been meaning to ask-were we a thing?"

She turned around and laughed so much he took it as a no. "Anyway," trying to snicker, "tour time."

She made him follow her out of the phoenix shaped structure to the wider field that led to the mud sauna between the Gaia and Prometheus, grossing him out upon learning people actually bathe in there.

"It's got good healing properties and helps with pours," leading him to the Pastors of Pluto.

"There's an art and animation studio?"

"Well practical art and film production. Studios want more non-magic themed stunts so the actors don't get hurt, especially for the Victory Rider movie in production."

He blinked, recalling him and Flint watching a certain show and mimicking the poses. That feels familiar somehow. His stomach roared.

"First up's the Nabu of Nutrition," taking him into the silver shaped dining hall and being greeted by Caliste, the Dining Hall instructor, who offered them a fish-cheese-egg sandwich. At first he hesitated, but after a bite, he kept asking for seconds, thirds, fourths, and fifths.

"And if you want a late night or fast food section, there's QuickSilver Edibles mid-afternoon and at night."

Next stop, the Venuscilin Haven. The golden glow of the building completely blindsided him to the soothing breeze. Every room had some sort of recreational activity from tvs to ping-pong tables to game consoles, and rooms that needed reservations.

"Oh, that's for people inserted into more interpersonal activities," pointing to the list of contraceptive enhancement items. "Thinking about going in sometime," leaning to his face.

"Uh, if there's someone that likes me...well I'm interested in someone else."

She pouted. "Oh. Anyway, people post events for everything, so you'll know."

Nearby was Terra Safety, the school officers who she warned wouldn't do all that much.

"Just like the cops I know."

"You were arrested?"

"No, I was trying to get someone arrested who deserved it," shocking her.

She showed him the others part of Malefic Marshed: the Apus Course Center had multiple obstacle courses and cliffs to test their physical strength, the Austrinus Pool that was designed to help original Fae maneuver with their wings submerged in water, and finally the Nataraja dance center, dancing and spinning her pole until she posed.

"It opens early, so I'd come early if I were you."

Then came the Jovetess Tranists, widening his mouth. "I knew this was based on Jupiter," gazing at the gassy mist with corridors and vistas of entrances leading to halls of books, scrolls, tomes, comics, and more. "I'll never have to drain my eyes on a computer screen again!"
"Oh, you like reading, Dumbki?"

"Shush, I like stories, and reading's a way to enjoy them."

"Intriguing." She took him to an orange-lime sphere wider in scope. "The Painon Center, or as we like to call it, the Rooms of Saturn," he recalled being in before, all several buildings and rooms connected into one planet shaped sphere of halls to reach other sides,

"What, is there a room for each moon?"

"Yup, all one hundred forty-five."

"Should be called Moon of Saturn instead," spotted Professor Delta panting in a room, closing the door as what looked like a Void was there. Before he could investigate, Calypsa guided him out to the Caelus Chronic Center, CCC for short, which he described as a glorified Health Center as Bethany greeted them.

"Did Ainsley say he'd come?" Sheki apologized.

"Weird, I saw them approaching the other heirs last night."

Calypsa raised an eyebrow as she took a pill from the nurse. "I'll talk to them later."

After that came the Oceanus Study Hall, with the Theater of Terra inside. The Atrium and Sun of Awakening could be seen in the window.

"Anyway, we've got class soon. We'll do the rest later. But, think you're ready for Celestial now."

"Barely," mentally finished analyzing the environment. "Just gotta survive."
