MY heart started to accelerate rapidly as I stood at the entrance of the Dark forest. Looking left to right was nothing but deadly trees and lots of darkness.
Was this the right choice?
I asked myself countless questions. What I was doing was going to shorten my life in an instant. I wanted to turn back, but returning to the village empty-handed would do me no good. I had to retrieve the herb at all costs.
At the second I stepped foot inside the forest, the air was so cold that it sent chills down my spine. I immediately sensed that something was watching me. While walking I've noticed it was beginning to go dark , that was a bad sign. It was getting late. I had to hurry and retrieve the herb.
.......
After sometime searching high and low , I couldn't find anything. I decided that tomorrow would be better to continue my search because if I stay any longer I would eventually end up dead…. again….
" I have to get out of here…"
I ran as fast as I could in order to get out of the forest as quickly as possible. While almost reaching the entrance I started to feel a breath of relief.
" Ah… final-"
*Grip!*
"What!!"
*FLING!!*
"WHOA!!.."
Unexpectedly something had grabbed a hold of my foot and flung me back inside the forest. While I was still in the air , I smashed through three oak wood trees that slowed down my momentum so I could finally stop.
*CRASH!*CRASH!*CRASH!*
"Ow!!.... What was that!?"
I slowly got up while feeling enormous pain trough my shoulder, back, legs and neck
I don't understand what flung me back inside the forest?
I got up and limped my way back to the forest entrance, while watching every inch of the area to find out what had flung me? I was facing pain greater that any pain I've faced in my life . While limping I stopped for a moment to rest. It was surprisingly quiet considering I was at the center of death and annihilation. I took a short moment to listen to my surroundings, until I heard.
*Rustle*Rustle*
There was rustling in the bushes near me...
Without any hesitation I turned the other way and continued limping, because as I recall correctly four months ago checking bushes is the fastest way to get you killed. I wasn't going to make the same mistake all over again.
"Oh…no … I won't go through that agai-"
*BOOM!!*
A massive explosions occurred behind me, that sent me flying to hit my head on another tree.
"OW!!..... why is this happening to me!!?"
From the fires of the explosion emerged a dark s art monster with a body of a giant panda with a tail of a snake. I was Deja vu all over again....
"I have to fight it…."
Unfortunately with the damaged body that I had it was almost impossible for me to stand a chance against it.
"I can't…die here…"
"GRAAA!!!"
I tried desperately for my body to move , but it was no good. The beast then charged at me with enormous strength and power.
*Badum*Badum*
My heart had accelerated so quick that I thought I was going to die if a heart attack before the beast even struck me. I thought to myself.
What happens if I die yet again?
Well I was about to find out…....
*STOMP!*STOMP!*
"GRAAAAAA!!"
it's over…
......
"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING MOVE OR YOU'LL DIE!!!"
"Huh!?"
I looked up at the trees and what I saw surprised me. It was Meli she had came to my rescue.
"Take cover I'll deal with the monster!"
I immediately crawled and hid behind the tree that I was leaning on, as I watched Meli as she prepared a spell.
"I'll use this spell to cure you.."
◇ Light Form: I connect with the Mighty Elementors of the past…..
SHE WHAT!!??
...Grant me the power of light to crush my enemies, and recreate them to their purest states. [[ Light of Recreation ]]
A huge light appeared that was so bright that the entire forest was filled with light for a moment there. I was curios to what happened to the monster. I was shocked to see that the monster was purified with the glowing light.
What was that power?
Did she say she connected with the past Elementors?
What's going on?
Who is she!!?
While questions kept popping left and right , Meli approached me looking so confident.
"Are you alright?"
"Uhm.. I'm fine… thank you…"
"No your not, your injured let me heal you."
She raised up one hand and started saying an incantation.
□ Enhancement Magic: I ask the holy mother of Nature Grant me the power of life and regeneration [[ HEALING ]]
She use enhancement magic to boost my regenerative cells in my body causing them to heal me quickly.
"There… all finished."
"Thank you…"
"Should we continue searching for the herb?"
"Yes we should…"
She helped me to get up on my feet and continued on with our search. She walked ahead in front to protect me. We then later encountered countless monsters and she defeated them all one by one. I felt so useless because I wasn't able to help her, even though I had trained Elemental Martial arts for four months I was still useless…
Some time passed and we has reached the darkest parts of the forest, where the herb was located.
" We found it, the herb!"
We rushed over quickly to pick up the herb. We dug into the sand quickly but gently so we didn't damage the herb.
*Dig...Dig*
"We got it!"
"Let's head back to the village."
Although this dangerous quest took very long, we finally acquired the herb…but it was not over yet…
From the shadows emerged another creature, but this creature was different. It was humongous and had red glowing eyes.
"What is that!?"
The creature led out a terrifying loud forceful shrieks that were so strong that I blew away Twenty tree in a ten-mile radius. The area was exposed to the moonlight that was shining bright in the night sky. The creature was then exposed to the light and I appeared that the creature was a Beast, that was more powerful than the previous monsters we had encountered.
I looked at Meli, as she was trembling with fear. I kn8that she must be weakened by the countless monsters that she had to face to get here. She couldn't defeat the beast at her state.
"Get behind me… I'll protect you…"
Meli said that while she shaking all over her body.
"You can't win at that state your in…"
I tried all that I could to stop her from fighting, because I knew that she would get killed…
"Don't worry I can still figh-"
*WHOOSH!!*
"MELI LOOK OUT!!"
*BANG!!*
The beast quickly used it's long tale to propel itself and attack Meli and sent her flying into multiple trees.
"ARGH!!..."
"MELI!!"
Meli was so badly injured that she had bruises all over her body. I felt so useless and powerless, I wished that there was something I could do. I clenched my left fist and raised up my right hand , hoping that something would happen. I concentrated hard until I felt something manifest on my right hand.
As I looked up at my hand….What!!
It was the 'EL Wond' !!
How did I do that?
Where did it come from?
I then closed my eyes and from within my head I then saw a link of energies combining to a single spot. I concentrated to that spot hoping to use whatever power was there. I began to see words just as before four months ago. I opened my eyes and began to say the incantation:
◇ Water Form: with the purifying power of the spirits. I use this flowing energy to swiftly vanquish the darkness upon me. [[ Vortex ]]
*Wirl..Wirl..Wirl*
When I opened my eyes, a huge vortex of Water built up and sliced the beast to tiny bits of pieces. The vortex later on exploded surrounding the center of the forest with beautiful blue rain.
I quickly went to Meli to help her.
"Meli are you alright."
"Argh… yes … but that power … are you the Elementor?"
My secret was finally revealed. I didn't want her to figure out that I was the Elementor, because I didn't want to tarnish our relationship.
"Yes… My name Is Dan Lauren and I'm the Elementor."
I helped her get up on her feet as we stood at the center of the dark forest, while the moonlight was shining upon us. Her eyes were so beautiful, her hands were so soft.
As I leaned closer to her I could feel her heartbeats accelerate.
Could she like me back?
I finally remember who she reminded me of. She reminded me of Melissa. I finally got my wish.
I was In another world with Melissa…
