Eric quickly fell down. Although that didn't stop him from trying to pick up the hammer. Which resulted in him losing his grip on the hammer and loudly falling to the ground again. "It's probably just one of those hammers that only work for one person."

"Hammers aren't that great anyway. Defense is much more important than offense."

Eric took that as a challenge when he said that and then swung his big tree branch right at the head of Alain.

The rune on Alain's left shoulder lit up right before the branch hit him, forming a magical barrier of magic, but it wasn't completely formed and only partially blocked the hit. As a result, Alain stumbled to the side and got a small bump on his head, but no serious injuries. "Hey, I wasn't ready! Try that again!" He said while rubbing the bump on his head, the rune on his shoulder now glowing brightly.

"If I know I'm in battle I would have already had the ward up! I didn't expect you to hit me in the head out of nowhere!"

<color=green>"Well, to start I would have to explain what an atom is. It's essentially one of the smallest units of matter you can find. Most of the visible universe is made of atoms, including you and me. Imagine you were to take this wanted poster." She said, pointing to it. <color=green>"Slice it in half, and in half again, and so on. Eventually you'd get to a piece that you couldn't cut anymore. In fact you'd have to take approximately 90 cuts in half to get to the size of an atom. Cheese, wood, apples, your body, the air, all of it is made of atoms. And atoms are further made of even smaller units." She materialized her W± hammer, and its head projected a hologram of an oxygen-16 atom. <color=green>"This is an oxygen atom; We breathe in oxygen gas from the air. See that tiny dot in the center? That's the nucleus of the atom." She zoomed in, making a waving motion with her hand. <color=green>"The nucleus is made of two particles, protons and neutrons. No one quite knows what they would really look like. What you see here is the liquid drop model of the atomic nucleus, because it reminds people of water droplets." And indeed that's what was shown. She zoomed outwards showing the fuzzy sparkling cloud of stuff that was the electron cloud. <color=green>"And this is the electron cloud. It's attracted to the nucleus. When atoms share electrons, they bond together like building blocks to make things like you and me."

"If you're lucky, you can apply to run a multiverse bounty shop, which gives you interdimensional transport privileges. If you're unlucky, someone in your home universe will put a bounty on you're head, and you can be taken home by force. But, if there isn't a bounty shop in that universe, neither of them are options." the faceless person explained.

"Could you check if there is a buisiness chain like this where I am from?" Caius asked the person, shifting position a little. "The world is called 'Gran Pulse'."

"I have heard you mention as much in your conversation on the matter with Sophia." Yeul said after listening to Winona's explaination, nodding slightly, still looking at the hologram that was projected as she talked. "So then, if everything in the world consists of atoms, and you have control over them, would this mean your power is infinite?" She asked next, looking back down to Winona's face.

"There are no bounty shops on any iteration of 'Gran Pulse', unfortunately." the figure stated.

"Then your method of travel between worlds is an imposibility..." Caius mused, mostly speaking to himself, with some irration present in his voice, annoyed that after getting something concrete, it was back to square one. "Do you know of any other way to accomplish the deed? Anything that could help us?"

"Certain objects are capable of cutting through the fabric of reality, though they can't precisely choose the destination. The simplest way is generally to wait until a tear to your destination opens up, then hold it open permanently."

"I have no such thing." Blowing a mute sigh, Caius shook his head. "I have no further questions." He stated, then stepped away from the counter, to Yeul's side.

<color=green>"Good question, but we're not infinite. I haven't yet explained what the strong and weak nuclear forces are yet. You see, the protons have a positive electric charge and the electrons have a negative electric charge. Since they have unlike charges, they attract due to the electromagnetic force. But since there are multiple protons in the center, they all repel against each other with great force. Yet there's another force acting on it that holds it together. And that is the strong nuclear force. There are certain types of unstable nuclei that will give off particles called beta particles. This happens because of the weak nuclear force, which is what I use. There are many other things the weak nuclear force can do, like interact with neutrinos, muons, tau particles, and whole plethora of rare mesons and baryons. It also assists in fusing atomic nuclei together to produce lots of energy. Yet, despite our power, we are not infinite in reach. There are many things out there that still have yet to be discovered. Remember when I said that most of everything you see is made of atoms? Neutrinos, muons, electrons, and tau particles are not parts of atoms and they aren't normally seen outside of atoms. And even then, there's the mysterious dark matter, which only Gwen can see. Even more elusive is dark energy." Winona pulled up a chart of the energy budget of the universe. <color=green>"5% of the mass of the universe is composed of atoms, leptons, and quarks. Yet, estimates place the unseen dark matter at nearly 23% of the mass of the universe. And dark energy, the energy that's accelerating the galaxies away from one another, is estimated to be the other 72%."

<color=purple>"I can see dark matter, and create dark matter with EMily, because we understand its creation. However, dark energy hasn't been fully understood by the scientists in our era yet. And don't worry about the name 'dark'; We only call it that because we can't see it... save for me."

<color=green>"There are many mysteries out there that even our standard model doesn't cover just yet. And, as always, we are only human."

As Winona explained, Yeul looked on with something of a blank expression on her face, only changing when the chart was brought up, which Yeul looked over with an raised eyebrow. "So then... not infinite, but far reaching, regardless." She said a moment after the sisters finished speaking. "But, if it is all the same, I think this is enough food for thought for now."

"Then we should return to the airship." Caius chimed in upon hearing what Yeul said, approaching the door of the bounty store and opening it, holding it open for the other to pass through, first.

Yeul gave a small nod, and left the store.

<color=green>"Very good then." She smiled, and dismissed the hologram. The sisters followed Yuel and Caius back to the ship where Doug and Knife were.

June 12th, 11AM

Another day passed, with the rain still not showing signs of letting up. At around 11AM, Joel returned to the ship, having vanished for the entire previous day.
