The discovery that larger portions of food, like a three-meter slice of roasted beef, required multiple grasses, but strangely, not more than three, no matter how large they imagined the food they wanted. Soon fruits the size of buildings were being created, their insides filled with chilled desserts of all flavors.
With the metabolic rates of the Blood Blessed, no single iota of food went to waste and for the first time in a long time, food was no longer seen as a source of nourishment but also enjoyment.
The Elders frowned, disturbed by this show of debauchery, but it did not take them long to realize that because the usage of this grass came from the mind of a five-year-old child, did not mean that it was limited to just this purpose.
One of them picked up a grass and closed his eyes, in a moment the glass wriggled into a new shape before exploding into bright light spots which vanished to reveal a long, delicately crafted robe.
The mouth of the Elder went dry as he checked every seam in the robe and analyzed the material before he donned it and groaned in surprise at the sheer comfort, he had imagined the perfect material for a robe, and it had been delivered.
Another Elder seeing this surprising result seized three grasses and closed his eyes, and when the bright light vanished, a magnificent chariot appeared that was being pulled by seven reptilian creatures that resembled horses, but in a few seconds the creatures screamed, and collapsed to the ground, dead.
The Elder groaned and held his head, every orifice in his face bleeding, he healed up in a short while and looked up grinning, his eyes filled with wonder and disbelief
"It is possible, we can create anything… even life, but to do such a thing, would strain your soul to the limit and unlike this unliving chariot over here, you must maintain a constant thought in your mind on keeping them alive, or they would lose the spark of life imbued inside of them."
For the next few weeks in addition to organizing the information brought in by the scouts, a wave of furious experimentation overtook the entire valley. Such a resource could not be overlooked, and finally, the decision was made that this valley would be the home of the entirety of the Blood Blessed.
Its apparent infinite size would ensure that it would never get overcrowded and the presence of the grass here meant they no longer had the need to chase for resources to rebuild their new civilization when every single material they needed was just a thought away.
With this valley as a staging post, they could begin to slowly colonize the city while learning of its mysteries. With this decision finalized houses began to spring up in the valley, and instead of the rough houses they had lived in previously, they decided to copy the pattern of the buildings inside the city.
With the information brought in by the scouts they had a pretty firm understanding of the building style within the city, but actualizing them was a challenge all on its own.
