Some more time passed and the girls were ready for their magic training, Elsa showed progress from the first moment, managing to do more complex things with her magic thanks to what she had learned and even getting a little deeper into healing magic, both at a spiritual and physical level, discovering in this an extension of the way in which she could "cure" the spirits of the anxiety and anger that they had suffered for years. Honeymaren, on the other hand. was having trouble projecting the magic she had learned about to the real world, despite acquiring a great deal of knowledge in her studies.

"I know you can do it, don't feel pressured." Said The Ancient One, who was walking around the room, watching the progress of both.

"I'm sorry... I know I should put this out of my mind, but... we've spent a lot of time here, are we still in time to save the forest? Aren't my people and Elsa's family looking for us?" Honeymaren asked.

"Take a break and come with me," said The Ancient One. Hearing that, both girls abandoned their training poses and calmly followed their mentor to the huge window in the sanctuary. "I once mentioned that time passes differently in this place, right?"

"Sure." said Elsa.

"You did." Said Honeymaren.

"Remember the buds that were about to bloom near the lake when all this started?"

"Yes, I remember we went to see them every day expecting to see when they opened," said Honeymaren, and upon hearing that answer, The Ancient One activated the magic in the window, giving them a clear view of the lake as if they were there.

"What you see is how the lake is in the present." The Ancient One limited herself to say as both young women watched the image closely.

"It can't be." Elsa said, fixing her gaze on the few flowers that could be seen over the buds, most of which still waited for the right moment to bloom.

"Only a few have flourished... two or three days could have passed at most; definitely not a week, how is this possible?" Honeymaren asked.

"I told you, time passes differently in this place, you have studied temporal magic, what do you think about this?" The Ancient One asked, addressing Honeymaren.

"It... it is possible, it would take an enormous magical power, but I do not doubt that you possess it... I am sorry I doubted." Said Honeymaren, making a small bow in repentance, a gesture that Elsa performed as well.

"Don't worry, I'm glad you can get those worrisome thoughts out of your mind, but don't get calm either. Every hour that goes out there is an irreversible advance of Null consuming this world, it's a very serious matter and every moment counts.

"Of course!" Honeymaren said standing upright again and ready to continue training.

"We will continue to strive and improve," Elsa said, equally determined.

"Okay, let's continue with the training," The Ancient One said, and then they all headed back to the room they were in.

Back in training Honeymaren's hands got enveloped with magical orange sparks for the first time.

"Concentrate on the energy in your body and spirit, let it flow freely," The Ancient One said.

"You can do it Honey!" Elsa said, stopping what she was doing to support her girlfriend.

A few seconds passed and the amount of magical energy that the young woman projected increased, until small flashes in the form of rapid lashes began to appear and suddenly the intricate shapes and symbols of a spell were projected erratically in front of her hands, to stabilize soon after, constant in their energy, form and behavior.

-Well done! The Ancient One said, with a gesture of pride at the young woman's achievement.

"This is wonderful! Now you can use magic too, it makes me so happy!" Elsa said hugging her beloved from behind, happy to see the achievement she had obtained and perhaps also to feel that now her partner could also follow her in the world of magic.

"It makes me happy that you're here with me," Honeymaren said, disappearing the projection of her spells, putting her hands over her girlfriend's and rubbing her cheek against hers.

Some weeks passed after that milestone of the young Northuldra in the world of magic and her ability in the Mystic Arts advanced in great leaps, managing to create portals with ease, mastering the astral form and conjuring spells increasingly complex and to commemorate that progress The Ancient One had a surprise prepared for her.

"Wake up." Honeymaren heard close to her ear one morning, as a faint whisper similar to her master's voice.

"What is it? She asked softly, turning carefully so as not to wake up Elsa who was hugging her from the waist, and being surprised to see that The Ancient One was in her astral form.

"Follow me, there is something I must show you." Said The Ancient One, and then she disappeared through the door.

Honeymaren got out of bed very gently, changed quickly into her training clothes, and went out to find The Ancient One standing in front of the huge window back in her physical form. When she saw her she only waved her hand again, asking her to follow her, and began to walk towards a door on the south side of that floor, an area the Northuldra girl had never entered.

"Here are some of the most powerful relics, and other interesting items too." Said The Ancient One as she opened the door, and as soon as Honeymaren set foot inside the room she confirmed those words; the energy in that room was different from all the others. The place was large and full of cabinets, shelves, and display cases, all arranged symmetrically and containing undoubtedly objects of great magical power, from familiar shapes to some of curious new forms which the young woman had never seen.

"Come with me." Said The Ancient One, after giving the young woman a few seconds to get used to the vibe of the place, and then led her through the hall to a room at the back, full of cabinets very similar to those in her now familiar training room.

"They look like the cabinets in the training room." Said Honeymaren.

"They are similar, and serve the same purpose, your abilities have increased in great leaps, you deserve to carry something more suited to your level, everything here is imbued with magic as you will perceive, it will help you as you face the new challenges ahead." Said The Ancient One calmly placing her hand on the young woman's shoulder and then headed out of the room. "From now on you can begin to study what is in this room and use its resources, Elsa can do that too, though I doubt if anything will be of much use to her." Added the woman as she left the room, and don't forget to close the door to the room, it is not opposed to our entering, but it's spell would be of great help in protecting it if any intruder were to enter the sanctuary.

"Sure, I will, and thank you very much, for this!" Said Honeymaren, happy with the situation.

"You don't have to thank me, you've earned it through hard work." Said The Ancient One as she left the room and then closed the door behind her.

Honeymaren spent a few minutes searching among the cabinets, selecting what she felt was the right thing for her, a two-piece suit and tunic, both of a highly similar dark blue color, some bands -apparently made of various materials, showing parts of one shade of light blue and one shade of a darker one, some greyish details, brown sections and segments with a curious interlocking pattern of various colors, such as blue, white, black and yellow- and a complex brown belt with grey borders formed by various sections with locks, which were joined in a metallic circle where they were adjusted at the height of the hip.

"It feels fantastic, let's see how I look." Said the young Northuldra opening a small edge on the cabinet which unfolded a long mirror. She knew well that the usefulness of the attire was the important thing, the visual aspect being secondary, but it was quite acceptable to wear an attire to personal taste as long as its usefulness was not compromised.

The clothing of the young woman now reflected in the mirror had changed drastically, the suit and tunic seemed an extension of each other with the similarity of their color, the belt, adjusted precisely, adapted the fabric to her body, giving it a more agile profile and the bands, adjusted in the same way that she had done with the fabric ones, ended up adjusting the attire to her body achieving the greatest dynamism possible.

"It feels and looks good, what more could i ask for?" Honeymaren said to herself as he looked in the mirror, happy to feel that her attire resonated with her energy.

The young sorcerer closed all the cabinets properly, took the clothes she had taken off and proceeded to leave the room, satisfied with her new attire.

"Aw... you look so beautiful," whispered Honeymaren once back in the room, watching Elsa still sleeping, hugging the pillow she was recently lying on. "Perfect time to try a new skill," she said, pulling out a small transparent crystal in her left hand and projecting a magic symbol with her right hand, then placed the symbol on the cute scene she witnessed and put the crystal in the middle; within seconds the magic flowed towards it and the magic symbol disappeared, leaving only the crystal in her right hand.

"Please work," the young sorcerer thought when she brought the glass to her face, and to her happiness the impression of the young Queen with her pillow had been sharply engraved on the glass.

"Better than a photograph." The young woman said, keeping the glass with her.

Honeymaren approached the bed on Elsa's side and appreciated a few seconds the calm and beauty of her face before removing some hair from her forehead and giving her a kiss.

"Wake up sleeping beauty."

"Is it tomorrow?" Elsa asked, waking up, rubbing her eyes and then opening them, surprised by Honeymaren's new outfit. "Honey! You look like an awesome sorcerer; the outfit is gorgeous!" Elsa said quickly rising from bed to better appreciate the young Northuldra's attire.

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it, I feel like it's made for me." Honeymaren said, turning around on her tiptoes so that Elsa could fully appreciate her attire.

"It's wonderful! did The Ancient One give it to you?"

"She allowed me to take what I liked from a room similar to the training room we've been using, but at the back of this floor, the one we haven't entered, do you want to go see?"

"Can we?"

"Of course, she said we'd already reached the necessary level, although maybe there wouldn't be anything that was of great use to you."

"Well, even out of curiosity, let's go to go take a look."

"Great!"

"We only have half an hour before we have to show up at the library, so let's hurry." Honeymaren said, closing the door behind them when they entered the room.

"Wow, there's so many things here!" Elsa said slowly advancing as she swept the place with her eyes.

"Yes there are," Honeymaren said, following her closely.

"Only The Ancient One must know what each of these things is for," Elsa said.

"Surely she knows... it's funny, I can feel like they all have a great story behind them," Honeymaren added.

Elsa stopped to see a large crystal with several protruding segments aligned in the shape of a flower that was on a pedestal and Honeymaren stopped by her side, where there was a large display case covered for some reason with a large black cloth.

"What could be here?" Honeymaren wondered, taking the cloth where the folds were and moving it a little to take a look and she suddenly was able to distinguish movement inside, instantly followed by something red that abruptly crashed into the glass right where she was watching. "Ah!" The surprised young woman shouted, going backwards because of the shock and accidentally pushing Elsa, who struck the pedestal holding the big crystal she saw.

The crystal fell to the floor abruptly, breaking and releasing a great quantity of energy that pushed everything in its path like the raging winds of a hurricane, breaking display cases and throwing relics into the air, the girls were only covering themselves from the sudden magical explosion when suddenly they found themselves falling down a hole that appeared on the floor to soon realize that it was not that the floor had opened, but that was some kind of portal to some unknown place; darkness dominated the place where they were now, with flashes of light and strange color formations with objects moving erratically from side to side; it was a changing scenario and something very complex to process so suddenly.

"Elsa!" Honeymaren shouted as they fell and saw that they were separating, knowing that the most important thing was to be together, Elsa had not studied about inter-dimensional travel, if she got lost she would be tremendously difficult to find.

"Honey!" Elsa shouted, turning to fall on her back and stretching her arms towards the young woman approaching her trying as best as possible to control her fall, when she suddenly became abruptly stopped hitting one of the objects moving through the strange place, becoming unconscious over the strange spherical shape.

"Elsa, no! Honeymaren shouted in despair as she continued to fall while Elsa had stayed in that erratic formation; every second counted because the distance between the two grew more and more and in a place like that the speed at which they moved away could be much greater than that in the real world. The young sorcerer reviewed in her mind which strategy would be best to get both out of there as she continued to fall without getting a concrete plan fixed when she saw a rapid red flash pass falling in front of her; when she looked below again he saw what looked like a broad piece of red cloth with details in the form of a pattern of squares in some folds levitating below, as if waiting for her to fall on it, and so it happened. Once Honeymaren fell on the fabric she could feel as it fit her body and somehow slowed her fall, soon after she felt like something seemed to surround her neck and to her surprise two golden emblems with red details were on each side when she managed to give a look; just after that her drop speed was drastically reduced until she stopped and then began to ascend. "A cloak, you're a magical cloak, you were in that covered display case!" Honeymaren exclaimed, with a passing moment of happiness, feeling that at least the problem of the fall was solved. "Thank you for your help," she added, somehow feeling that the cloak had a connection to her and confirmed that she was there to help. A few minutes passed and the cloak led the young sorcerer quickly in several changing directions through that vast and mysterious place, the young woman was flying thanks to her newest ally, but that feeling was what mattered the least to her at the time, she had to find Elsa as soon as possible, and the cloak knew it too. "There!' Honeymaren said, pointing a direction to follow for the cloak after the girl was able to perceive Elsa's magical presence in the distance. It didn't take long to be able to distinguish what looked like an iceberg floating in the midst of the vastness of that place. "

Honey!" Shouted Elsa in the distance once she saw the girl approaching.

"Elsa, I'm glad you're okay!" The young Northuldra said animatedly, landing on top of the great ice mass and strongly embracing Elsa, who did the same.

"I'm glad you are," Elsa said, and they both shared a warm hug for a few seconds.

"Now we must go." The young sorcerer said when they let their embrace. Honeymaren then took Elsa in her arms, carrying her in princess style, while the Snow Queen put her arms around her neck and gently stuck her head against her body, after that the cloak flew back to the portal through which they had fallen. As both girls flew they enjoyed the intimate contact that position gave them, Honeymaren was cheerful feeling Elsa in her arms, knowing that she was carrying the person she loved so deeply, for her part Elsa was safe and content in the arms of her beloved, feeling as they wrapped her up and took her firmly to keep her close. Both girls avoided looking directly as they ascended, knowing that they would blush heavily from doing so, but still knowing without a doubt what the other felt.
