Lightning Is the Only Way

The whole Heaven Sect waited for Gravis to return, but he never did. Aion couldn't delay the departure anymore and led the Heaven Sect away, fuming with anger. 'When I return, I'll tear you a new one, Gravis,' he thought. Didn't Gravis know how important this visit was? Was this how Gravis thanked him for all the work he had done?

Meanwhile, Gravis was sitting on top of Skye and flew to the east. Behind Gravis lay a gigantic banner about 20 meters long. 'They will travel for a total of six days and will stay for one. I doubt that Aion will return prematurely just because of me. So, they will be back exactly one week from now. I have one week to get as much tempering and wealth as possible, though I should probably stop after six days. Without a good head start, Aion might find me very quickly.'

Luckily, with Skye now being a high-grade Energy Beast, the way to Gravis' destination was very short. It only took them one day. Gravis and Skye had left on the second day and arrived at their destination simultaneously as the Heaven Sect took off to their headquarter.

Gravis looked at the horizon. There, he saw a gigantic volcano, higher than any volcano or mountain he had ever seen. Just its base was already breaking through the clouds, and a lot of lava was running down its sides. The volcano was always active and spewed lava 24/7. Around the base of the volcano, Gravis could see a lot of buildings made of obsidian. People darted from one building to the other.

Obviously, that was the Fire Guild. Gravis looked around but couldn't see any Energy Beasts or Energy Plants. It seemed like the strength of the Fire Guild was about the same as the Lightning Guild and couldn't compare with the Wind Guild.
