Loriel was dying and it was my fault. I got up from the circle and approached the Treant. I wanted to do something to help, so I cast healing breeze on her. Sadly, even the hidden effect did nothing.
Suddenly a bright light shone through the giant tree from the moon above. A shining, iridescent, beautiful woman floated from the sky. Her pale skin glowed with the color of moonlight. Her beauty entranced me, the moment I saw her.
I remembered the notification I had just gotten, The mark of the moon goddess....
Time seemed to stop as the Moon Goddess casually hovered above the ground before me. Her voice was indescribably enticing as she spoke "I have been watching you Myth. You interest me, so I have chosen you to be my first warrior. The demons have grown in number and power, so I can no longer ignore them. It is time for me to take action. For that, you must grow strong. To help guarantee this, I have chosen my second warrior, Miss InfiniteBloom to join you, since her contract requires her to protect you. " The girl from earlier was suddenly right beside me. She could have been there the whole time though and I wouldn't have noticed with the goddess before me.
The Moon Goddess continued talking, " You have absorbed an Ancient Green Dragon Stone, which is a very unusual problem. The stone has now fully bonded with you and cannot be removed. The Nature dragon that was once my favorite creation is now fully combined with your soul. You are now one, and all of your shifted forms will be stronger. Your magic will also become stronger. The Green Dragon has many unique abilities and talents. This is why you are so important. You alone have the power to purify the magic circles and cleanse the corruption. A power that has been lost for centuries has finally returned to the light."
The goddess turned to bloom and waved her hand. Moonlight bathed her from above and Bloom began to glow.
"InfiniteBloom, I have been watching you as well. You will help this man on his quest to purify the demon's corrupt invasion. You are blessed with new powers, use them wisely and protect him well. " The goddess said as she turned to face the Treant. "Loriel has spent her life to save you and now you have an opportunity to save her. Upon the Moonlit Isle, there is a mana stone. If you retrieve it in time, Loriel may yet live. I will transport you to the isle. This will help you return if you succeed. Good Luck. Do not disappoint me. "

Moonlight filled the room, becoming brighter and brighter until I had to close my eyes.
I opened my eyes and I was standing on a beach with the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the sand.
I could see a line of trees with ancient ruins rising up, over and throughout the center of the island. The sound of ghostly moans could be heard coming from these ruins.
InfiniteBloom was amazed by her new class. Elemental Druid!
"How did this happen?! What did you do!" she exclaimed.
I explained what had happened as quickly as I could.
"I can't believe you stumbled on something like this. I was supposed to keep you out of trouble!" She yelled at me. "And look! All of my spells are gone! Have they been replaced? "
She shared the details with me. Four schools,
Fire- Damage buff/debuff- (-)(+)10%physical damage.
Wind- speed buff-/debuff-(-)(+) 10%attack/movement speed
Earth - health/armor buff/debuff-. (-)(+) %10 HP and armor.
Water- low heal/direct damage water jet(-)(+) heals 10%health per second, channeled.
Large heal/ice blast- heals 200 hp deals 200 base ice damage. 3 second cast.
"I'm pretty sure those are skills that weaken enemies and buff allies depending on the target of the skill. " I guessed.
" Oh well, that makes sense I guess. Let's try them out! Wait what about you? Didn't she say you were a dragon? And aren't you freaking out even a little about the MOON goddess picking us as her warriors!?! How are you so calm! "
I smiled at bloom and shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe that's why she picked me. "
She laughed, "I doubt it. You just seem to be lucky. By the way have you noticed. Its been an hour and your not laying on the floor. "
I had been so busy that I hadn't realized. I was so overcome with happiness I couldn't help but do a little jig.
