Pov Nix:
After a full day of effort, the master and I managed to create the Cradle of Spirits, I was right in thinking that it would be much easier to do this thanks to the master, because of him I had the freedom to choose anywhere.
Usually, you need to be lucky to find a suitable place, after that the process can take years, but with the help of the master it only took a few hours, but I don't know if he will ever be able to understand how difficult this is to happen.
Ding!
<[ You have successfully created a Cradle of Spirits ]>

<[ The Cradle of Spirits has been successfully stabilized ]>
.

<[ A strong bond has been created between you and the newly created Cradle of Spirits ]>
.

<[ You increased your spirit energy capacity by 5000 EP ]>

<[ You have acquired the title [ Creator of the Cradle of Spirits ] ]>
I increased my energy capacity by 50%, which is excellent.
I look at the master who passed out and I see the Infant Spirits that have just emerged spinning around him, then I look at the Spirits I brought from the Dungeon, they seem at ease flying all over the place, I can feel them being accepted by the Cradle of Spirits.
"I'm so happy to have been able to create a Cradle of Spirits that has the elements of Water, Moon, and Darkness, I feel like my parents are close by." (I)
Memories of the past began to flood my mind in waves, the days I spent with my mother, the training my father gave me, and how we were all always smiling.
"…" (I)
Tears
I feel the tears running down my face, I tried my best not to cry in front of the master so as not to make him worried, but I'm still very shaken mentally and emotionally now that I've just created this place.
One of the Childlike Spirits with different colored eyes and white hair lands on my shoulder and uses its small hands to dry my tears.
"Thanks." (I)
This is not the time to cry, I still have one last thing to do.
I weakly stand up and open a Dungeon gate behind me, the gate that looks like a Dragon-shaped head of mine steps out of my shadow.
After I opened the gate I use the permissions that master gave me to expand the fourth floor and activate the assimilation option, this entire Cradle of Spirits is full of the master's Auras and mine, so the assimilation process was easy, I feel a wave of energy leave the gate and travel through the entire space around me.
At that moment everything goes dark so I feel all the darkness being sucked until it disappears, I turn around and see the last pieces of darkness entering through the Dungeon gate.
Ding! Ding!
<[ 4th-floor expansion in progress ]>
.
.
.
<[ Assimilation of a Cradle of Spirits for the 4th floor in progress ]>
I look around and all I see is a big crater, there's nothing else around but the master and me.
There was also the Dungeon gate, but I don't tell you that, the Infant Spirits as well as the other Spirits I brought with me are not here either, they must have entered the Dungeon.
"And with that, the work is done." (I)
I look at the master lying at the bottom of this crater, he is covered in sweat and his face is pale.
I walk over to him and make one last effort to lift him into my arms, looking at his face makes a smile form on my face.
"I could search my whole life and never be able to create a Cradle of Spirits like this." (I)
"This has opened up new opportunities for me in the future, through which I can achieve the strength I need to protect me and you master." (I)
"I swear I'll never be the one being protected again as I watch those important to me getting hurt and dying without me being able to do anything…" (I)
I spend a few minutes looking at the master's face, I wanted to engrave his face deeply in my heart, he has done a lot for me but I can't even tell him the truth about this continent or the dangers that await us all on other continents.
"No matter the difficulties, I will always be by your side master, I will never let anyone hurt you." (I)
I look up and stare at the moons in the sky for a few seconds, it was a wonderful sight, but what really enchanted me was the image in my memory that overlapped with the image of the moons.
"I'm one step closer to my dream mother, I said that one day I would create a Temple of Spirits with your element and father's." (I)
"I just wanted to show you the realization of my dream one day, but I guess I'll have to settle for my unknown sister, I hope to meet her one day as she is your successor." (I)
"She wants to meet you too, it's been hard to stop her constant attempts to look for you."
"Who's there?" (I)
I turn around and see a beautiful woman in a red and white dress full of flower decorations, this woman who looked to be in her twenties had white skin and eyes were completely green, her long green hair went down to her waist and there was a red crown in the shape of a flower floating on top of her head.
Seeing this beautiful appearance, several memories came back to my head, memories of this beautiful Spirit who always took me to see fields of flowers and play when I was a child.
"Kamelia!!" (I)
"I'm glad you still remember me, if it weren't for this young Vampire in your arms I could run to hug you." (Kamelia)
"Why are you here?" (I)
"I came to help a friend, but I can't interfere on this continent, so I can't help you." (Kamelia)
"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself." (I)
"But I wanted to ask if you have heard from my father or my sister?" (I)
"Your father caused quite a stir when he found out about you, even without knowing your location he wanted to turn the world upside down until he found you." (Kamelia)
"I can imagine that, many were injured trying to stop him?" (I)
"Yes, but it's quiet now, everyone is trying hard not to let the information about you slip." (Kamelia)
"I didn't even know where you were, I was very surprised when I saw you creating a Cradle of Spirits the way you promised your mother." (Kamelia)
"Your sister is dying to meet you, she has her mother's memories, but she's scarier when she gets angry." (Kamelia)
"I want to meet her too, but this is not the time, if anyone hears about me a war will happen again." (I)
"I know you hate wars but I would love to have the opportunity to flay Baldr's damn servants and believers, my biggest regret is not being there that day, maybe I could have stopped them from getting you, or I could have saved your mother." (Kamelia)
"By the time I checked everything was destroyed, your father was already flying to vent his fury on every Baldr temple on the mainland and you were nowhere to be found…" (Kamelia)
Tears
As she spoke tears started to come out of her eyes, when the tears hit the ground flowers were born in the dozens for each teardrop.
"Don't cry, I'm fine now, I have a new family and a goal, I'll show you that this time I won't be useless anymore that needs to be protected." (I)
"You've become so mature, I wish I could hug you, but I think your father would be able to smell you on me, that could be dangerous." (Kamelia)
"I can't stay here long, so I have to go, I hope next time I can talk to this young Vampire, see you soon my child." (Kamelia)
After Kamelia left I enter the Dungeon carrying the master, leave him in the safe room on the third floor with some people from the village and leave the Dungeon to close the gate and start walking away.

Pov Hera:
I was in heaven watching Zenos' hired Spirit closing the Dungeon gate and running into the forest.
"Are you sure you can do without a hug from her?" (I)
"I have to go visit the Dragons later, if I hug her father will smell her on me." (Kamelia)
"If he started asking questions I wouldn't know what to do, calming him down is something only two people in this world are capable of doing." (Kamelia)
"Sorry, I forgot you knew her." (I)
"Alright, just seeing her is a great joy for me, her human form is very beautiful, but I wanted to see her Dragon form too." (Kamelia)
"You will have the opportunity, but now we have things we must do, you have to get out of here before the battle against the Heretic God begins, only the Fairies can fight this time." (I)
"I know, now let's see this Dryad you talked about." (Kamelia)
