Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 935: Splitting work
As they observed and absorbed the cosmic panorama, a sense of perspective and scale washed over them. They were privy to witnessing the place where the dragon god had lived a century ago. Seeing such distant and otherworldly locations didn't seem bizarre or improbable anymore, but rather it made sense in the grand context of the cosmos.
"... This is all too much," Liss said. "I feel a growing sense of uneasy growing inside me. "Can we return now?"
Liss's feelings of anxiety in space were not unusual, though Rain initially assumed that as a mage, she might get used to the vastness of space more quickly. However, it turned out to be quite the opposite. Her profound understanding of nature, combined with her expertise in magic, seemed to intensify her feelings of overwhelm when faced with the vastness of the universe.
In her line of work, Liss often dealt with the intricacies and nuances of the natural world, understanding the small details and the interconnectedness of various elements. This deep connection to the intricate workings of nature and magic made the enormity of the cosmos feel particularly overwhelming for her.
The contrast between her knowledge of the intricate and the vastness of space was clear , leaving her feeling like an insignificant speck in an immeasurable expanse.
For Liss, the experience wasn't just about witnessing the grandeur of the universe; it was a confrontation with the incomprehensible vastness that transcended her usual understanding of the world.
The sheer magnitude of space, with its countless stars, planets, and galaxies, stirred a sense of existential anxiety, reminding her of the insignificance of her individual existence in the grand cosmic scheme.
In the end, Rain nodded and then brought everyone back to their base.
The trip only lasted for two hours, but it felt like they had left for days… to Rain's friends, that had been a shocking experience, but they soon recovered since they were used to him, but to their kids, things were quite different… while they were trained warriors, they felt their bodies trembling and a cold that made them flinch.
"That was… quite the weird experience," Asche said while scratching her forehead.
"Sorry for force you all to do this, but you need to make your decision fast," Rain said. "You either are going to decided for everyone now or take some risks and talk with everyone about this."
"... What are your plans exactly?" Esmeralda asked. "You helped us learn a lot and we also got stronger too, so we can't exactly just ignore all that… we can't also dash ahead without a clear plan."
"My plan now is to organize our forces and prepare to face the ice dragons," Rain said. "Before they are impossible to defeat. I am going to talk with the others, we can decide what we are going to do nce we reunite and make the conscious move to work together. If anything, you just need to be ready to leave in case the other groups aren't ready or aren't willing to join this next fight.
The demi humans and the sea folk will have a hard time with this since the previous war just ended, but the situation will force them to play their hand."

Rain was consciously attempting to repest and uphold the independence of everyone involved, allowing them to make their own choices and decisions without imposing his will upon them. It was a clear effort on his part to respect their autonomy and individual agency, understanding the importance of their free will in facing the challenges ahead.
However, amidst this respect for independence, there was an underlying awareness among the group that Rain was also cautious about drawing the attention of the dragon god toward the next conflict. They recognized Rain's subtle actions and efforts to navigate the situation in a way that minimized the likelihood of involving the dragon god directly.
The group shared an understanding as to why Rain was so cautious. They knew that the dragon god wouldn't intervene unless faced with a threat or a situation as troublesome as Rain had been a hundred years ago. While acknowledging the necessity of avoiding direct confrontation with the dragon god, they also found it somewhat annoying.
They understood that the dragon god's involvement, while powerful, could drastically escalate the conflict, making it more challenging to handle.
Esmeralda looked at Branden, Orcis, Lorene, Asche and Liss and they all nodded. They truly needed to prepare for the worst… they couldn't risk their extinction since they knew that the dragons wouldn't be as the dragon god.
"All right, we will prepare to move," Esmeralda declared. "We will have to pick the guys on the first base… so we will have to expand things here a bit. We will have to change the parts of the islands with lighter materials to make things more efficient. I suppose the sea folk and the demi humans can help us with that."
"It will take too long to reach them," Rain shook his head. "You should take the guys on the first camp and then head West. The others will head there in due time and we will meet up there in two weeks, more or less… at least that is what I think we all should do."
"... We will do that, you hurry up and head there to make them prepare for it since we don't have time to waste once we arrive there," Esmeralda said. "At the same time, we will work on a plan to make sure that those who can't fight won't be put at risk while we cross their frosty domain."
"Fine by me, let's split up the work," Rain said. "I am going now, see you guys soon."
Rain immediately took off and then left the island faster than a bullet. He also made the mental note that they truly had to think of better ways to work together… Rain couldn't just solve all the issues by himself with the limited time frame.
