Boosted Continuation – A new world

Maya and Steph went to visit the tentacle cave they found the other day to see how it really worked before they got too excited the last time and left before they had the chance to explore everything. As it turned out, it was perfect on various levels, and the cat-girl got the urge to question Mira about how natural that cave really was. Other urges were had, too. Fulfilled, as well.

“By the way, what type of biome are you planning to save up for?” Sophia and Anna had moved to an empty part of the blonde's domain, where she became curious about the princess's plans.

"A savanna!” The tall tiger smiled at her. “Dry grasslands as far as you can see, lots of shrubs, acacia trees, sandy bits, an oasis scattered here and there, and maybe a mountain range in the distance to distract the eye~!”

"Ho!" Sophia's entire body perked up, and even her tail went stiff and pointed up.

“The tiger bits have been tickled, huh?” Anna understood her reaction.

“Very much so!” The blonde’s voice was filled with excitement.

“The jungle Maya and Ari made scratched a lot of itches, but somehow, a savanna has been calling for me ever since we started playing in your domain thingy.”

“I like the jungle a whole lot, but now that I’ve heard you saying it, YES!” Sophia nodded a couple of times. “This is such a great idea!”

“Thank you!” Anna was happy that her idea was liked so much by her.

“Do you really want to do all of it on your own?” Sophia tilted her head. "I'd love to help you with it! Let's make the most amazing place for tigers together!"

“Mhmm.”

“I mean, it’s totally okay if you want it to be your solo project like my cherry blossom forest, but I just had to ask because my inner tiger is way too excited right now!”

“It would be fun to make something together with someone, just like everyone else already did. A fellow tiger who understands the appeal of a savanna only makes it better, too.” The princess wasn't against the idea. “I’ll be in charge, though! I want to take care of the design and how it’s going to look! You can help, but it’s my project!”

“Oho, I like the assertive boss-lady Anna!” Sophia seemed to be a fan of tall and beautiful girls wielding authority. “I’m absolutely fine with that~.”

“Awesome!”

“How big do you want it to be? To see how far away we should go from everyone else.”

“Yes!” Anna’s reply was instantaneous.

“A yes distance away from the others, huh?” The blonde tilted her head. “Sure, that can be arranged!” Saying so, another portal appeared in front of the two. “Lead the way, boss~.”

“You’re the best!” Nodding once, the princess stepped through the portal before the blonde quickly followed after her. “Yep, that’s a whole lot of nothing here.” Arriving at the other side and being greeted by the all-white nothingness, Anna had little else to say.

“We're also at least a whole continent's worth of distance away from everything else."

“Seriously?!” The tall tiger raised her voice.

“Yes enough on the size and distance from the others?” Sophia just smiled at her.

“Barely!”

“I like the confidence.”

“Hehe.” Anna let out a small chuckle. “By the way, how do we get started on the savanna?”

“Step one starts with a disappointment.” The blonde’s expression turned a little awkward.

“Let’s start with step two, then!” The princess wasn’t a fan.

“That could prove difficult.”

“What’s the issue?”

“When starting a new biome, we need some samples and a base to start. Unfortunately, we haven’t been to a savanna yet, so we don’t have any trees or other flora specific to it that we could use.”

“Oh, I can help with that!” It didn’t seem to be an issue for her.

“Have you secretly been to a savanna and hid a bit of it somewhere?” Sophia looked confused.

“Something like that, yeah.” She actually nodded.

“Eh?”

“After Mira taught me how to hone my magic sensing skills, I told her about my plans in more detail and how badly I wanted to have my own savanna. She then generously gave me a little plot in her domain I could use to gather inspiration

. We’re free to take whatever we need from there.”

“Nice!” Sophia clapped her hands. “Let’s go!”

“Alright!” The princess was just as motivated. “We have to head back to the cottage to take her portal, though.”

“While we’re at it, let’s link this place to the portal hub!” Saying so, Sophia opened yet another portal in front of them. “This way!”

“Can we put the portal somewhere on the side or something like that? The hub is so confusing that I always get lost when trying to go somewhere.”

“You haven’t seen my most recent modifications yet.” The blonde smiled at her. “It’s much easier to find your way now!”

“Awesome!”

The duo then went through the portal to take a look at the new hub and head over to Mira’s domain.

----------------

“Ta-da!” Arriving there, Sophia gave her a thumbs up while looking rather smug. “I made the portals on this side see-through! That way, we can see where it leads to~.”

"I didn't know you could do that!"

“Yeah, I only recently figured out how to do it. It's perfect for this, isn't it?”

“Absolutely!” Anna nodded. “Not just for knowing where the portal leads to, but it’s also reassuring to see where you end up. It makes it a lot less weird.”

“You have a good point there.” The blonde nodded. “I think we should only use them like this from now on.”

“We really should!” The tall tiger agreed with her. “You should also do the same for the portal connection between the cities and the capital. Again, seeing where you end up makes this a lot more accessible and less frightening. People will be a lot less hesitant to use them like that.”

“There’s the princess mode, huh? Even thinking about that when I had completely forgotten about that project." Sophia scratched her cheek. “You are right about that, though.” She nodded in agreement. “It is a little intimidating to step into solid-looking pink and purple particles without knowing what's going on. I tend to forget about that because I'm using them constantly."

“You’re also the one who invented them.”

“That, too, helps. Well, it’s a good thing we only visited one city so far, huh?”

“And, judging by our progress so far, it will take another year to arrive at the next one.” Anna lightly rolled her eyes.

“Ah.” The blonde got a little awkward again. “To be fair, we’re having a great time in my domain creating all sorts of stuff, no? Rather than exploring a world, we’re literally creating one right now!”

“I wasn’t complaining.” The princess smiled at her in return. “It’s amazing in here! That being said, I still would like to travel my kingdom a little more and visit more cities.”

“Fair enough.” Sophia couldn’t blame her for that. “I want to train Ellie a little more and make the bestest savanna possible with you, but we should be back to traveling soon.”

“Sounds good to me!” Anna liked the plan.

“Alright, let’s head to Mira’s place and borrow some inspiration.”

“Let's go!”

Having returned to the cottage, the two then went through one of the portals Mira provided for them to go to the area the overseer gave the princess.

“Nice, we can absolutely work with that!” Arriving there, Sophia looked at the roughly 200-by-200-meter patch of savanna in the middle of a regular green plain. There were a handful of acacia trees in varying sizes, a couple of spiky shrubbery, and lots of dry grass and reddish dirt. “Did Mira make that just for you?”

“Maybe?” The princess tilted her head. “It was already there when she brought me here, but we’re talking about Mira here. I wouldn’t be surprised if she could prepare this in a fraction of a second.”

“You have a point there.” The blonde thought so, too. “She sure is something else. I bet it’s so much fun to have that amount of magic to play with!”

“I feel the same about you in that regard.” Anna just stared at her.

“Alright, let’s grab the stuff and get started!” She didn't want to warm up that topic again.

“Okay!”

Afterward, Sophia created a single massive portal the size of the savanna patch and transported the whole area to her own domain, only leaving behind a circular crater in the middle of the plain.

"Well then, let's hear your plan for this?" Back in Sophia's domain, the short tiger pointed at the patch of savanna biome before gesturing at the all-white nothingness around it. “How do you want it to look?”

“An excellent question!”

“You have no idea, do you?” The blonde had a feeling that her reaction meant something along the lines of that.

“I do!” She shook her head. “I have the perfect picture in my mind, but it’s hard to put into words!”

“Understandable, I often have the same issue.” Sophia felt her struggles. “Good news is that you don’t have to!”

“What does that mean?”

“If you simply concentrate on the image while releasing your magic, it will turn into something resembling it closer than any words could describe. That's the foundation of magic, after all~."

“Let's go!” She instantly got even more motivated. “How are you going to help, then?”

“I’ll be your magic supply.” The blonde smiled at her. “Give me your hand, and while you release your magic and think about the savanna, I’ll pour my magic into you, refilling your powers until I run out, too.”

“That works?!”

“The last time I did that with Fen, I almost blew up the beastfolk continent, but I’m sure it’s fine this time.”

“HUH?!”

“Don't worry about it~.”

“Nonono, there’s lots to worry about in that sentence!”

“It’s fine~.” She just shook her head. “Magic doesn’t explode as easily in my domain, and you also have less power than Fenny.”

“B-BUT!”

“Let's go!” Not giving her any more room to complain, Sophia grabbed the hand of the princess, and they started the preparations for the new tiger savanna.
