Chapter 18 - Rush of Creating

"Wha-what… 'only sixty' you say?" Regen groaned, putting her face in her hand, "Your mom was right, we trained a scary child that we love very dearly." Regen chuckled as she nodded to Zarue to go ahead and start creating.

"Love you too mom?" Zarue said with a large smile, unable to contain the excitement that was boiling over. "Relrem, can you please stay by my side in case I over do it? I should be fine, but it is better to be safe than sorry."

"Of course Young Master! I will also be on high alert to help Mom Regen in case trouble is stirred up." Relrem beamed at the request and trodded over next to Zarue and sat on his hindquarters, his ears on the swivel listening for sounds that most would miss.

"Thank you Relrem for watching Zarue, you know I have your back honey. Do what you need to do, I am here to support you as well!" Regen smiled warmly and gave Zarue a big thumbs up before taking a standing position next to Zarue's other side.

With a smile Zarue focused on the storage ring and felt out the Ki of the iron wood logs and pulled out the other fifty seven logs needed to create the new gear that had been planned out. As the sixty logs sat in a neat pile in front of Zarue laid both hands on their knees, palms upward.

'Well, here we go. To experiment I will use my Ki unrestrained. Which should help speed the process and make sure nothing in the creation process goes wrong. Celeste, is this thought process correct?'

-Ping

Young Master, that is correct. Use this as your first time to truly test your power, once you go in a meditative state just think of what needs to happen, and the Ki of the [iron wood logs] will do the rest of the work with the Technique Ki Manipulation. You might want to give Relrem and your mom a heads up.

Nodding inwardly, Zarue thanked Celeste as they started their meditative breathing, focusing on the Ki of the iron wood logs, the Ki Manipulation Technique to change the logs, and what items they wanted to make and how they looked. After a little bit, Zarue felt the connection that was felt when Relrem was first brought to physical form.

Taking a deep breath, filling their lungs full of air and Ki with the Ki Filtering Technique, Zarue muttered to Relrem and Regen, "Brace yourselves."

As the other two heard what Zarue said, they planted their feet as if waiting for an attack to sturdy themselves, giving slight nods and acknowledgements that they were ready, Zarue nodded back.

After Zarue nodded, they exhaled the air that was in their lungs, open their bright azure eyes in the process, where there was once a soft glow that showed a pair of eyes in the night. There now was a bright glow coming from them, emanating a blue light that seemed to come from all directions of Zarue, bathing trees, Relrem, and Regen in its sharp yet soothing light. As the light settled and went almost inward of Zarue as if to coat them, the light thrummed softly. As if on cue, as the last bit of light had alighted itself on to Zarue a blast of pressure exploded going outward as if Zarue was the epicenter of the blast, causing a forceful wind to blow through the forest for nary a kilometer.

As the dust settled, Relrem and Regen looked in awe at Zarue. The azure glow that was on them had become brighter while the sixty iron wood logs encircled Zarue slowly. A soft glow came from them as the glow seemed to form strings and attach themselves to each of the logs near them, forming groups of five. Each of these groups looked like circles, forming twelve of the circles that spun around themselves as if attached to a pole while encircling Zarue.

As if satisfied with how the preparations were, Zarue closed their eyes. Their breathing became deeper and slower, in a rhythmic state as the groups of logs slowly came to a stop, forming a circle around Zarue with the twelve groups as one was in front of Zarue. Sensing that the logs had settled in with the connections that needed to be made between the twelve groups, Zarue raised their hands as if to clasp the first circle. Their hands being mere tiny gap away that a single strand of hair could fit through. Once their hands were steady, the circle that was in between Zarue's hands started to rotate, faster and faster. Until the floating logs were just a blur and unable to be followed by the naked eye. Satisfied, Zarue slowly brought their hands closer together, as if to make their hands touch. While doing this the circle became smaller and smaller, until Zarue's fingertips made a cage around the circle that had turned into an orb, a soft hum coming from it. Turning their hands so that the middle finger pointed forward, Zarue opened their hands again, pulling away from the orb as it gently floated to the ground, changing shape into a square, and after alighting upon the ground the glow faded and what was left was a shirt.

After the initial shock from the first item, Regen and Relrem just shook their heads and smiled at Zarue, as their shock became pride and happiness, seeing how well Zarue was handling the Ki Manipulation Technique at such a young age. After a while, it was just one item after another as Zarue found a rhythm in the creation process.

As the last article of clothing hit the ground, the glow that was coming from Zarue dissipated as they exhaled another breath and opened their eyes, a small smile forming on their lips as they looked down at the pile of clothes that had been successfully created. What a rush!

Hey there reader! Thanks for reading this latest chapter! I would appreciate it if you could leave a review on this chapter or on the novel page. Maybe even a power stone if you so choose! These things will help me know how the audience (you) are enjoying my writing and where I need to improve!

Also a heads up! Still deciding on when to create a discord server so it would be easier to talk to me with ideas or writing issues that you may see that I do not!
