A few days had passed since Iris the Echidna showed them the bay and needless to say that Harry and his wives all agreed on one thing : this place would be their new home. Of all the place they visited, this one was the most beautiful and the most strategic.

Why ? Because of the many advantages they could gain from living here.

What advantages you may be wondering ? Here are your answers :

-Firstly, living near the sea improves your mental health and sea air helps people sleep better. In addition, salt water is a natural skin's treatment.

-Second, by living not too far from a river, Harry and his girls would have an easy access to a water source but they will also have the possibility to have an area to swim and fishing. In addition, living near a source of water bring less stress and less pain which meant a stronger immune system and an improved mood.

-Thirdly, living near a forest could allow our friends to gather medicine herbs and plants of any kind ... and maybe to take some trips there to calm themselves with the peaceful sound of nature.

-Fourthly, by living not too far from mountains, they all had the chance of having a great scenery. That and the sight of mountains reminded them of where they came from.

Back to present, Harry and the girls were working hard to build their new home : a mansion to be precise as a house would be a bit small for the eight of them (Harry, Cirila, Gabrielle, Hela, Iris, Lilith, Reina and Pyralis). At first, they had to uproot some trees to do that ,as the spot they chose was a bit too small to their liking.

Of course, they had first made sure that no one's lived around fist or else they would have trouble. But thankfully, there were no other creatures (apart of the normal wildlife) which had surprised them as the area was perfectly habitable.

Iris had told them that no one came here before them and ,seeing that people tend to never come back from her cave, the world assumed that this area was cursed and so, they avoided this place. That and the fact the sea-folk lived nearby. People who sometimes, kidnapped men to take them underwater where they are never seen again.

It was understandable that people were wary of this area but Harry and his girls decided it was time to rectify this and giving this place, the respect and admiration it deserved. However, to be sure to not have trouble with their neighbors, the little group decided to wait a bit before building a village and instead, focus on their home itself.

After cutting down some trees, they had to look for large rocks and it was Cirila who went to retrieve some, being among the strongest of the group, and she was helped by Reina, Hela and Gabrielle. Pyralis, her, was charged to scout the perimeter and warn them in case a danger came.

What of the last three ? Harry, Lilith and Iris were busy, working on the architectural part of their little project.

For a hour or two, they discussed about what their home should be : a mansion, a manor, a large house... But in the end, it was decided, after a vote, that they would build a manor. Pyralis, Cirila, Hela, Gabrielle and Reina all agreed and so they all started working on the construction of their future home.

However, after seeing how tired some of his wives were, Harry allowed them to have a break while him, Lilith and Iris would build the manor. At first, the concerned girls had refused but after some times, they reluctantly accepted.

While Pyralis, Cirila, Reina, Gabrielle and Hela were resting, the remaining three could start their work : Harry used his magic to create the manor himself using the rocks gathered by his wives while Lilith, her, used her magic to put some wards on the stone to protect it from any type of harm.
