Boosted Continuation – A new world

Sophia and Anna spent some time together together, and the princess told the blonde about her plans to create a massive savanna in her domain. Being a fellow tiger, the shorter girl was a massive fan of the idea and instantly offered her help.

A couple of days had passed since the tigers started working on their little project, but progress came to a bit of a halt because, after the initial creation, they focused on filling the area with ambient magic to do a big chunk in on go once they had amassed enough.

“Sophia!” Once again, the blonde was approached by a needlessly dramatic-sounding Aura. “Your domain is broken again!”

“When is it not broken in your eyes?!” She took the baseless accusation personally.

“She’s right, though.” Ari, who was next to the wolf, sided with her.

“What did you two troublemakers do this time?!” The blonde raised her voice.

“Hey!” The jaguar didn’t like being addressed like that.

“Complaint denied!” She shook her head. “In fact, you, Ari, probably went rogue the most in my domain! Everyone may have done one thing out of proportion, but you are partially responsible for the overgrown jungle around the cottage and helped burn down an entire biome!"

“…” The number one troublemaker had nothing to defend herself with.

“There lies the issue, though!” Aura stared at the tiger. “Something’s wrong with your domain because my forest is still burning!”

“It’s a big forest you made there. It will take a while before it all burns down.” The blonde didn’t see the issue.

“But the portal to the very middle of the place, where we started to fire, is still just showing a flaming inferno on the other side!” The wolf wasn’t happy with her explanation.

“Well, you used a healthy amount of magic when you created the trees, and, just like you, they won't go down without a fight~."

“Mrmm…”

“You just have to wait a little longer~.” Sophia smiled at her.

“Fine.” Aura gave up. “Ari, my dear, it will be another rainforest day!”

“Yay!” The jaguar liked the sound of that, and the duo swiftly left the tiger.

"Hmm…" The blonde let out a small sigh when she was alone. "How am I going to tell her that the two perfectly balanced out the fire and the magical regeneration of the trees, creating a perpetual fiery hellscape on accident?” As it was her domain, she naturally knew what was going on but just shrugged it off. "Well, it's fine! It's certainly one of the more interesting places in here now." She paused for a second. "Whatever, savanna time!" Saying so, she went to get Anna so they could work on their project some more.

“I hate everything about this.” While Sophia was chatting with Aura and Ari, Chloe and Fen were together and working on their holiday home. It didn't seem like the wolf was enjoying himself, though.

“Come on, don’t be like that!” The pink fox smiled at him while concentrating on the snowstorm she was creating in front of them. “I’m just covering the forest in a layer of snow. It’s not going to hurt you.”

“Shush!” He didn't like how smug she looked. “Just because it can’t hurt me, it doesn’t mean I have to like it!”

“You’d really think that you, as such a fluffy wolf, would enjoy snow a lot more.”

“And you’d be wrong.” Fen shook his head. “It’s just a personal preference of mine. I prefer dry heat, hence why Sophia found me in the monster country.”

“That place was hell!” Chloe had a strong reaction to it. “I liked the animals, I’m still upset that I didn’t get to pet a griffin, but the climate was the worst!”

“It’s just a little warm there. It’s not going to hurt you.” The wolf had to do it.

“I sure felt like dying, though!” The fox only got loud. “I accept the comeback, though. Fair enough, I guess. Everyone has things they’re good and bad with.”

“And things they like and dislike.” Fen nodded along.

“You are very right!” She gave him a thumbs up. “Anyway, you’ll be fine! I’ll keep the area directly around us snow-free until our cozy log cabin is done. Once it’s here, you don’t have to be outside anymore, and you can simply enjoy the view from the inside while relaxing in front of the warm fireplace. It will be well worth the current suffering!”

“Yes, that’s what keeps me going.”

Having put aside their differences, the duo kept working on their place for a while longer, although Fen decided to focus all of his attention on finishing the river that was flowing through the plateau. Having initially created it with magic worked extraordinarily well, but he decided to make some manual adjustments near the place for their log cabin to make it look extra nice in the immediate vicinity.

While the duo was working on their holiday home, Sophia arrived at the savanna she was helping Anna build and lightly greeted the tall tiger who was already there.

“You’re late!” The princess was happy to see her.

“I see where Ellie got that from.” The blonde smiled back at her. “She’s a lot cuter when she does it.”

"Shut up. Everything that she does is cute in your eyes."

“Good point.” Sophia had nothing to say in her defense. “Anyway, I don’t remember agreeing on a time to meet up.”

“Unimportant and minor details!”

“Yep, definitely sisters.” She saw a definite similarity between the two princesses. “Anyway, it’s looking quite nice around here already, huh?” The blonde looked at the extensive savanna around them. The many acacia trees, lots of shrubbery, some spiky and some not, and the dry grasslands on reddish-brown earth, together with some spots of sandy or rocky areas, filled her with joy.

“Yes!” Anna reacted with a big nod. “Aside from the sky, it’s lovely!” She lightly gestured up while saying so.

“The usual issue, huh?” She glanced at the all-white nothingness above them. “You know, this place might be ideal for an experiment. It wouldn’t really work in the other places, but the sky above a savanna is pretty basic in some way, no?”

“I guess…?” The princess seemed confused.

“A simple blue sky, not clouds and the like, would be enough, wouldn’t it?”

“Plenty better than white, that’s for sure!”

“We might have to use up all of the magic we saved in the area, though.”

“Ehh, but we, especially you, have released so much the last couple of days to make a massive advancement in one go.” Anna wasn’t an immediate fan of the idea.

“I’m not even sure if it’s enough.” The blonde scratched her cheek. “It was just a suggestion, too. It’s also your decision as this is your project. We can continue on the savanna itself, or we can try and create something that loosely resembles a sky.”

“Mrmm.” It seemed to be a difficult decision for the princess.

“Your place will be the first that has a sky, by the way.” She tried to sell the idea to her.

“Alright, let’s go!” It was enough to convince her. “What do we have to do?”

“An excellent question!” Sophia just nodded. “I have no idea.”

“Well, that’s helpful!” Anna rolled her eyes. “Blue!” She suddenly raised her arm high into the air and pointed at the all-white space above them. Unfortunately, it didn't end up changing colors. “Ah.” She still summoned something Blu, though. Their favorite blue parakeet appeared out of nowhere and landed on top of her outstretched hand. At the same time, it cutely tilted its head to the side while looking at the princess. It also made a couple of confused-sounding chirps.

“Close enough!” The blonde was impressed. “We weren’t talking about you, though, Blu.” She smiled at the bird, who then flew over to her and landed on her shoulder before rubbing its head against her cheek. “Anna and I are trying to make the sky blue.” In return to that, the bird nodded a couple of times.

“How did you even hear us? Were you hiding somewhere nearby?" The princess got suspicious about the parakeet, which only lightly flapped its wings while tilting its head to the side once again. "That bird is way too cheeky!"

“It’s great, isn’t it?” As she wasn’t on the receiving end of it, the blonde was a big fan of Blu’s cheekiness. “So, what do you think about our plan, my dearest of birds?” She glanced at the parakeet on her shoulder, who then looked up at the default whiteness of the domain above them. It didn’t react in any other way, though.

“Blu, as an expert in all things blue, we’re open to any hints possible!” Anna tried to appeal to the bird. “With how much magic our beloved bird has, I’m sure it’s capable of a trick or two! It's probably smarter than the two of us combined, too. Hearing that, the parakeet just nodded a couple of times while letting out some chirps, as well.

“Oi! To what part did you nod just now?!” Now that the blonde was included, she suddenly liked Blu’s sass a lot less. Coincidentally, the parakeet just added another nod, as if simply saying yes, before flying away from Sophia's shoulder.

Afterward, the bird circled above them a couple of times before eventually landing on top of Anna’s head, right between her ears, before chirping a few more times.

“Do you have any translation for that?” Anna addressed the blonde.

“Nope.” She shook her head. “If I had to take a guess, as Blu flew above us, it wants us to concentrate our magic on that area. If we use all we have inside of us, together with what we have already poured into the area while thinking about blue, it may work out. It won’t be a real sky, but it might be easier on the eyes. What do you think?” Sophia looked at the bird on top of Anna’s head, who simply nodded.

“I guess it’s worth a try.” The princess had nothing against the idea.

Having decided on a course of action, the duo spent the next hour transporting all the magic in and around them high in the sky while thinking about the color blue as the bird Blu was giving them moral support by being its adorable self.
