The Cities of Xantra:

In this world of Elementalists, have cities with no Elementalists living at all. Although Elementalists are permitted to stay in their hometown for a couple of months before working back to their missions, however, they must never let others expose their existence as Elementalists.

The cities in Kelsisha with no Elementalists wandering around, are named from City A to City M. What happened to the remaining cities is unknown. In Keñier, the cities are named from City Ichi to City Jyu San. Lastly, in Killor are named from City Un to City Treize.

Notably, there are thirteen no elementalists cities in each state but what's intriguing the most is that there are only 3 known large islands, which are the states, with inhabitants. The other islands remained undiscovered.

We arrived at the treehouse. It's just the same, poorly constructed treehouse we built a few years ago. Those days making the treehouse reminds me how of a little rascal I was.

Lian took a deep sigh, looking at the dusty surface of our creaky treehouse. "How long has it been since we got here?" She tenderly asked. I looked at her, it seems like she's recollecting those old times.

I smiled at her, a crooked one. "I don't have the slightest clue."

She glared at me. "You always forget the glorious days," said Lian and attempted to slap my arm but my reflexes are above all of hers which I was able to flinch.

I scoffed at her before rushing towards the tree. It was easy to climb because of the poorly nailed stairs, made out of long cubes of wood, on the trunk accordingly. The tree was strong enough to carry more than one person because of its tall and wide trunk and strong branches.

Lian took her a long time to climb, as usual.

After a few quarrels, I aided her climb on the tree. She leaned her head on my back. Goodness, how heavy is her skull?

"I'm grateful that this tree wasn't chopped off; after a long time." Lian cheerfully said and then let out a deep sigh.

It then fell into awkward silence until she yawned and spoke, "We even stole some wood from the people but, since we were charming big-eyed angels, they forgave us and even aided us in building this treehouse for us."

I gazed at the clear blue sky in a trance as I hazily remembered the times.

Lian continued, who seemed smiling like a creep. "We were happy after it was built, it was even bigger for the three of us. We usually address this as our hideout, where we create our evil little plans such as stealing food, for our so-called offerings to the Evil Demon."

I hummed in response, still in a trance. My eyelids are starting to rebel against me. I seriously can't vividly remember it but, one thing's for sure, I was happy at that time.

"The frequent Leena traveling to different Cities kind of hindered us from coming here than usual until we entered high school. I heard other kids are coming here now," said Lian and paused before speaking once again. "You should go to school."

I was snapped back to reality. I frowned. "You've been absent for almost 3 days already." She reminded me. The long exposure of the sky to my eyes made me look down on the green grassy field.
