Water Healing Magic: Purify

[10 ME or 10 BE per use]

Description: Uses water and energy to purify the body from foreign substances, curing minor diseases, poisons, venoms, toxins, and curses]

'Finally!' Sighig softly, Erin continued to focus on his task at hand: Nursing back to health the little child who had fallen sick out of nowhere. He has been trying to keep the boy from dying from fever by keeping his temperature low with his [Water] and a few [Ice] cards he made. He also was combining the new permanent and specifying cards he received from his previous quest: [Healing] with the [Water] card, so his card could come with healing properties! He made a bunch of [Pure Water], which was Tier 0 card, too!

[(C) - Tier 0 - Elemental Healing Card]

Pure Water

Description: Creates water that is pure, not containing any impurities. Can be used to make pure potions, teas, concoctions, and much more.]

See? He kept making [Pure Water] cards before he got around 50 of them. It took him 25 minutes, but he was stockpiling more of these cards! He also tried combining said [Pure Water] cards with the [Magic] cards he had to try and make one permanent card, which he managed to finally do so after 2 and a half hours of continuous tries! "Now..." he touched the slick forehead of the sweating child while using the new permanent spell he just equipped - a pale white liquid slipped from his fingertipes, falling directly into the child's forehead, where upon the skin glowed bright white for a split second.

[Target healed]

Sighing in relief, Erin smiled as the kid blinked. Okay, it's time to bring him back to his dad!

-Scene Cut-

Unknown to Erin, the mother of said child was weeping as his child was doomed to death. Jöl, Vök, and Ghãn were all kneeling before the cave entrance and praying to the gods to heal the children. It was well known that if your small child got really hot and started sweating, the child had been afflicted with a curse and was going to die. Their witch always said that if they prayed to the gods, maybe the gods would have mercy on the children and heal them from their curse, saving the child's life... But seeing as the child still looked like he was burning up alive, they had to give up hope, for the child was already doomed.

"Uhm, which one of you is the dad to this little one?"

"Mama?"

Honnu recognized the sound of his little boy's voice calling out for him. He thought he was already dead. He couldn't deal with the grief, so he left the cave and came out here to pray and cry to the gods. Did his praying work? "Oh, poor little one." The witch, seeing the other sick child, approached. "Let's see..." He extended his hand forward, a small droplet fell from his fingertip into the child's forehead, and it glowed a bright white light that blinded everyone's eyes for a split second. "Mama?" His baby's voice was weak, but Vakn knew his baby, and he was alive! "Thank you, thank you!" Crying while hugging hus child, the poor Eruthan thanked him profusely, eyes red as he looked up at the pure Eruthan that just saved his only family.

"It's okay -" Erin tried to get the young guy to get up: "You don't need to kneel for me, I just did what I had to! Besides, your child just had a fever. It wasn't like he was going to die. He's a strong kid." Erin is pretty sure the kid wouldn't have died from that fever. It would've made his life miserable for a few days up to a week? Sure, it would, but he wouldn't die due to the fever! "If you want to repay me, however, you could help me."

"Anything, I'll do anything."

"Okay, C'mon -" Erin felt the eyes of the three Aruthans on his ass as he walked back into the cave: "I want your help with some things."

[You've successfully combined the cards [Protection] and [Air]!]

[New Card Created]

[(C) - Tier 0 - Elemental Protection Magic Card]

Air Barrier

Description: Creates a 10 feet by 10 feet barrier of wind to stop projectiles such as arrows and weak spells. Protects against other attacks by pushing them away!]

'Another consumable...' Here was Erin, his hands moving as he mixed a few herbs into [Pure Water] as to try and make a concoction that helped heal while also making cards. In fact, while he could use his archetype power to heal, he wanted some concoctions, potions, and herbs to make oils, too. It was all experimental, and the guy whose child he saved was here helping him organize the things he was making: "Put this one in the 'Requires further experimentation' pile, please." He gave Vakn - which, apparently was his name? - the concoction he managed to make by mixing a bunch of weird herbs together. He also told the guy to be careful with these things and if he touches them to tell him immediately!

'... What is this?' Holding the purple flower on his fingers, Erin felt a tingling sensation spread through his fingers. It was weak, but it felt really weird in his body. "Witch, why aren't you mated yet?" Startled, Erin turned to look at the curious but also reserved little Eruthan - Seriously, he was a mother (father?) of a child, and yet he looked to be 16! "Well, you see, I don't know." Erin really didn't know why he was so afraid of the thought of "mating" with someone that his body refused to feel anything but a coldness that spread all over his skin. "I don't think I'm ready to do that yet..." Indeed, he wasn't ready for a serious relationship.

I mean, sex? Sex is cool, but whenever he thinks about the big Aruthans, his body locks up, and he feels threatened! So yeah, no sex with Aruthans ever. Maybe if other Eruthans are willing? 'Wait, can other Eruthans make Eruthans pregnant?' Better not try that yet. He doesn't want kids, okay!?

"Oh, uhm, okay?" Vakn was very confused - doesn't everyone want to have a good life with a good mate? The witch is weird, but he is a witch, so of course, he is going to be weird! "Put this one on the 'Okay' pile.. This one here in the 'Ouchie' pile, and this one in the 'Requires further experimentation' pile." He was quickly given three different samples of different combinations of herbs that the witch has collected and mixed together, making experiments, he said. Weird hobby, but it doesn't hurt anyone! Vakn did notice how the trio of surviving Aruthans from their tribe were eyeing the wtch - he even saw Jöl giving the witch a few looks! Jöl was their strongest warrior, but he lost an arm, so he might not be the one that is chosen in the end by the witch. 'Maybe he'll choose the three!?' He has heard stories of old times where Eruthans weren't as common as they were now, where highly fertile Euthans would choose 3 to 4 Aruthans to be with them forever, which has happened before in their tribe but only with Akusha which chose the twins Ako and Eko, who were both thrilled to be with Akusha.

'I mean, he is a witch.' So he has more than enough power to choose whoever he wants and how nany he wants! 'Ah Jïl...' Jïl was his mate, Jöl's uncle, and second in command to their tribe, he was the first one to go after the leader was killed, and Jöl lost his arm. Honnu's mate was an Aruthan by the name Gagôrn, he was killed in the battle as well, Honnu also lost his oldest son in the battle, leaving behind the youngest one. It was paiful to see how Honnu lost everything and almost would've lost his youngest son. He just didn't lose him thanks to the witch who saved the children.

Once again, saved by the witch.

Erin's eyes widened slightly after reading the quest's contents. He quickly got up, leaving everything behind and darting towards the entrance of the cave -

New system function unlocked]

When he darted through the entrance of the cave, the very first thing he saw was a large beastial man with thick muscular arms weilding a large broad sword attacking Jöl and the others. "Shit." Cursing in English, Erin raised his hand and pointed it towards the Egorath that was attacking the people and - "[Wind Blade]" Mixing his [Air] and [Magic] cards gave him the card [Wind Blade] card, consumable but creates a blade of wind that is capable of cutting through thick back of a tree and cut down said tree! The moment he pointed his finger towards the big guy, a blade of wind rushed and cut through the monster's body like a hot knife through butter, cutting it in half.

There was silence in the battlefield as the others turned to look at him, the remaining Eguraths turned to look at him in fright, he simply pointed his finger at them and said: "Leave." It took them 4 seconds, but they all unfroze and ran away like they were running for their lives, which they were. Erin held his ground, watching them run, leaving behind the ones they were pursuing... "We need to leave this cavern,they'll find us again." Turning around quickly, Erin ignored the others for the sake of going back inside to pack everything so they could leave. What? He doesn't want to stay here and wait for those things to come back! "Vakn, let's pack everything. We need to leave right now!"

It took him a while, but packing was not that hard, seeing as he didn't have many things to bring with him!

[You've completed the quest!]

- Permanent Ticket (×1)

- +250 Points

- Item Card Fusion function unlocked!

'What...?' Item Card Fusion was a function of this system that seemingly allowed him to fuse cards to items of the outside world, allowing others and himself to use the cards that were attached to these items. He quickly grabbed a stick and touched it, adding three consumable cards he had made - [Air Magic: Wind Needle], [Fire Magic: Firebolt], and [Earth Magic: Stone Bullet]. The stick glowed for a momemt before these three small dots of light floated above the stick, one pale silver, one pale red, and one pale brown. "Neat." With this, he could quickly use cards without having to equip them first!

This will make his life easier.

-Scene Cut-

Meanwhile, Jöl was looking at the dead monster while holding his chest with his only hand- It was beating wildly while his eyes widened, not in fear, but in...

Arousal.

'I want him, I want him so bad.'
