Exit the back of the castle.

William leads the group through the stone brick halls of the castle until you're once again greeted by the light of the sun. Out through the back is a wooden plank between an opening in the railing. Nearby is what must be several hundred feed of rope ladder nearly stacked up nearby. He steps right past this, however, and beckons his hand down to the world far below. It's not a land you've seen before. There are various cities in the distance, and by the looks of where the mountains are situated, you must have travelled south east--farther than you've gone this direction. It's beyond any map you've read.

"Beneath you is a number of small, independent states, each ruled by a Lord-King or Lord-Queen. Like Tivera is your domain, Kyle, this is mine," William explains. "And directly beneath us is where I believe one of the first of Elok Daven's laboratories was constructed."

"I don't know if I'd call it my domain."

"Be proud of your accomplishments, Demon King. If you desired it, you could likely take the throne of Tivera, or at least manipulate it. Elok Daven managed to do it and people hardly know who he is. Well, since the Sports Festival, I suppose they somewhat do. Either way, it's an entirely different affair around here. There is no single ruler, so it requires far more work. That isn't a complaint. I enjoy this new life of mine."

Caleena emerges from the castle's back door a moment later. She reaches down to the band around her thigh and withdraws her wand. "Are you ready to depart, my lord?"

"Are we jumping?" you ask. "Because I do have a magic item that'll help with that."

"There's no need," William responds. "We'll descend with different magic. Also, you've brought the slime girl Jelly with you, so I'll take with me Trin, my trusty dragon. Come. Meanwhile, you keep an eye on things around here as always, Jika."

Now walking straight up to you, Trin places a hand against her stomach and bows politely. "I know we've met before, but yes. I'm Trin! Not only a mage, but an elite conjuror. I'm an expert on summoning all matter of beasties, so you can count on me."

Jelly waves. "I'm Jelly! Uhm. I jiggle?"

"Ooh. So does Caleena--HEUGH!" She winces at the wand smacking her on the head. "It was just a joke," she whimpers.

"I'm casting the spell now," says the maid with a deadpanned stare. She flicks her wrist to the side and creates a snowfall and tiny sparkles, that upon closer inspection seem to be tiny feathers. She calls out, "Feather Fall!" as your body tingles.

Trin giggles. "This always tickles."

"Ahaha, it does! That's really cool," Jelly says as she tries to snatch them out of the air.

William nods at you. "See you at the bottom," he says before letting himself fall backwards off the edge of the floating island.

"Me next!" Jelly tucks in her arms and legs into a cannonball off the ledge.

Trin dangles one of her feet over the drop. "It's safe. Don't worry, Kyle." Then with a smile, she leaps off and disappears.

You then look to Caleena. Too long of a moment passes, so you feel like you need to say something before it becomes incredibly awkward. "I have a few different insectrin back home," you comment. "Luna. Summer. Taiga. For what it's worth, as someone from Earth, I think you're all super cool. Moth girls? Bee girls? There's so much to see here on Abso. I guess what I'm saying is it's good to meet you."

She curtsies politely. "They sound like lovely ladies."

"They are." You give a two finger salute before jumping. "And I'm glad the whole French maid thing transcends worlds!" you call out as you fall.

"... What is a French maid?" you hear her ask back.

Though you don't careen towards the ground. You fall at a rather leisurely pace. Looking down, you can see each of the others a distance apart from one another, as they all leapt at different times. At this rate, it'll take a few minutes to actually reach the ground, though that's definitely better than a few seconds all things considered. You take a deep breath and enjoy the sensation of near-weightlessness as the Feather Fall spell cradles you down to the surface.
