Chapter 17: A lesson in crystal teleportation

Elves have long perfected the art of teleportation, relying on powerful teleportation crystals to travel effortlessly between locations.

These enchanted stones allow elves to bypass traditional roads and physical transport, making their cities fluid and highly efficient.

However, while teleportation to public areas remains largely unregulated, teleportation to private spaces is strictly controlled due to serious security concerns.

Elven society is structured around the seamless use of teleportation, with two main categories of travel, general public teleportation and private teleportation.

The distinction between these two has shaped not only the layout of elven cities but also the rules governing teleportation access.

Public Teleportation crystals allow unrestricted access to widely used public spaces such as markets, schools, libraries, temples, training grounds, and city plazas.

These general-use crystals are embedded into the foundations of elven cities, ensuring that citizens can move freely between common locations without delay.

Because these destinations are public by nature, there is little concern over who uses them.

In stark contrast, teleportation to private residences, government buildings, research facilities, and sacred sites is tightly controlled.

After all, if anyone could figure out the exact crystal to cut in order to teleport to your house, they could easily bypass all traditional security measures and break in undetected. Unlike physical intrusions, where barriers such as locked doors, walls, and guards provide layers of protection, teleportation, if left unchecked, renders such defenses meaningless.

While crime is virtually nonexistent among the elves due to their structured society and deep-seated respect for order, other species do not always share the same values.

Elven cities are often open to trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange, which means that individuals from different species , some less disciplined in their ethics, frequently pass through their lands.

This reality has made it necessary for elves to implement strict security measures when it comes to teleportation.

After all, prevention is always better than cure.

So most elves have installed gates that prevent anyone from teleporting directly into the compound.

If you knew how teleportation crystals worked, you would understand better.

These devices are not powered by magic but rather by elven physics, a highly advanced field of study that focuses on the interaction between light, matter, and energy.

At their core, teleportation crystals function by manipulating the properties of light and matter at a subatomic level.

Light is not just an illuminating force but a fundamental carrier of energy and information.

The elves discovered that, under the right conditions, they could encode physical matter into light-wave patterns, transfer those patterns across space, and then reconstruct the original form at a different location.

The process involves several key steps: When an elf activates a teleportation crystal, their body undergoes a process known as waveform conversion, where their molecular structure is temporarily broken down and encoded into a stream of controlled light waves.

Unlike traditional theories of teleportation, this is not a destruction-and-reconstruction process; rather, it is a reconfiguration of physical matter into a pure energy state.

The encoded light waves are then directed along a carefully controlled pathway, usually through a pre-existing network of light corridors that exist within the natural environment.

These corridors are not visible to the naked eye but are fundamental to the way light propagates through space.

The elves have developed specialized crystals that act as conduits, ensuring the transmission remains stable and precise.

At the destination point, the encoded wave pattern is collapsed back into its original physical form, restoring the elf to their exact pre-teleportation state.

However, teleportation gates, installed in private homes, government buildings, and high-security locations, prevent unauthorized access by forcing light to behave as a particle rather than a wave. This fundamental shift in light’s nature makes teleportation completely impossible within the protected area, ensuring that no one can materialize inside without permission.

For this reason, an elf can only teleport to or from the gate itself, never directly inside a home, institution, or high-security facility

Understanding these limitations, Syrla and Alexn knew that teleporting from inside the building was impossible.

If they wanted to reach the market using teleportation, they had to first leave the protected area and step outside.

As they pushed open the gate, the heavy metal creaked softly, its smooth surface cool beneath their fingertips.

Stepping outside, they shut the gate a quiet finality, sealing the building’s defenses once more.

Sylra reached into the pocket of her cloak, her fingers brushing against the familiar smoothness of the crystal within.

She pulled it free, holding it up to the light.

The blue crystal shimmered in the afternoon glow, its polished surface catching and refracting the sunlight in delicate ripples.

Tiny veins of silver ran through its core, pulsing faintly as it resonated with the energy in her hand.

With practiced ease, she raised the crystal, feeling the hum of its power vibrating against her palm.

"Hold on to me and close your eyes," Sylra said, her voice calm but firm as she tightened her grip on the crystal.

Alex sighed, shaking his head. "I know, I know," he muttered, but he still reached for her hand, his fingers wrapping securely around hers.

"Ready?" Sylra asked, glancing at him.

"Just do it," Alex said, squeezing her hand.

Sylra closed her eyes, shutting out the world around her as she focused all her attention on the teleportation crystal in her hand.

She could feel the energy pulsing through it, steady and rhythmic, like a second heartbeat.

The tingling sensation against her skin grew stronger as she concentrated, aligning her thoughts with the precise frequency needed for the jump.

She pushed aside all distractions, the distant hum of the wind, the faint rustling of leaves, even the warmth of Alex’s hand gripping hers. Nothing else mattered now.

Beside her, Alex did the same.

For a brief moment, everything was still.

Then, with a pulse of light, the world around them dissolved.

There was a quiet buzz, a soft, almost imperceptible hum that resonated through the air as the teleportation crystal activated.

The sensation was brief yet unmistakable, a flicker of warmth coursing through their bodies, a faint pull from every direction at once.

Then, in an instant, the world around them shifted.

The sound of multiple voices, layered over one another in a constant stream of conversation, filled Alex’s ears the moment they materialized.

Alongside the chatter, there was a steady whirring of wheels and machines.
