A young girl shot up, quickly panting heavily. After settling, she looked around. The place looked like the slums within a fantasy world, something she was familiar with.
'Am I... Inside a novel or something?! Because this is very much similar to that!!' She thought as she stood up, feeling some pain at her feet. She looked down as she saw her feet with cuts and buses, as well as, a chain connected to her ankles.
'Ah... The original body must be a slave...' she felt guilty to the poor soul. She started to walk despite the pain.
She headed out of the alleyway, to a clear area with a single tree, still surrounded by houses. She noticed a small river, quickly heading over, it wasn't as clean, but enough to see her reflection.
Cherry red hair cascaded down almost touching the dirty water, ice magenta eyes staring back at her, a beauty mark near her lips, a perfect small nose sitting on her face. A perfect stroke of eyebrows by a paintbrush. She looked closely as she saw small words near her eyes, holding her hair back, she leaned down.
[52236]
Written under her eye in bold numbers. "Ah.." she was surprised before leaning back up. 'It must be something for slaves... Instead of using names...' she thought.
She sat there for a bit before getting up. She headed back, as she heard voices.
"Where the fuck is 52236?!" A man's voice yelled at the dawn of morning. There were more voices behind him.
'Shit. Gotta run!' she thought as she started to even before she finished her thought. She quickly ran the opposite direction, going straight from where she was.
She noticed a floating object in front, or a floating person. The being moved their hand up telling the young girl to follow. The young girl followed suit. 'Better than being here!'
It took only a few minutes to arrive at a gate, the being showing different things along the way.
Women are submissive to men, more like, afraid.
The young girl immediately got pissed off. 'Fucking sexiest! No matter where you are, there's always gonna be one or even a group!' she complained.
She huffed as she looked forward, the being went out of the gates that were guarded by men in armour. 'Knights...' she quickly thought.
The being waved towards an area hidden from sight, except to the young girls eyes. She headed over without being noticed. She gasped as there was a hole, similar to a tunnel, small enough for a child to go through.
She smiled brightly as she crawled though, hoping there was no water beyond the hole. She cautiously stopped at the end. 'Great...' she felt disappointed. Beyond her was a river that seemed to be filled with some sort of unknown waste. 'Don't tell me.... Is it actually blood??' her eyes shook at the thought.
She was afraid of blood. Even if she didn't look as such. The being noticed as it created a small wind to pick her up, bringing her to the other side. The young girl was absolutely surprised. 'Magic?!' she immediately thought.
She took a closer look at the being, a beautiful woman with grey long flowing hair, winter grey eyes and soft pale skin.
—Are you alright now child?
An angelic voice entered her mind, making her surprised. She looked around.
—It's me, in front of you, child.
The young girl looked back in disbelief. However her face barely showed any emotions, staying in a stoic expression.
A laugh entered her mind.
—Such a strange thing, anyways, I felt something off leading me to you. You're quite unique. I have never seen such a beautiful soul before.
The voice of the woman commented.
—You are very innocent in certain aspects, but very strong willed. I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly developed a strange habit.
The woman laughed. The young girl flinched. 'Deja vu much! Issac said a similar thing!' she thought to herself.
—Now then, you should be off. Explore the continent. I have a hatred towards such things that are currently happening.
The woman looked pissed as she commented. The young girl blinks as she nodded, clearly not wanting to know.
She headed off towards the woods that she saw nearby. The young girl ran through the woods, jumping over the fallen trees or roots. She came to a stop as she saw a river, one that was clear. She walked up, before heading towards the opposite direction the water was going. She ran beside the river, wondering if it'll lead to a lake or something close to it.
'I should have a name other than 52236... Mmm..' she thought as she came to a stop. The river led to a beautiful lake hidden away, a waterfall came from above the rocks, cascading a beautiful sound.
She was in awe before happily taking her shirt off, being bare naked. She was only wearing a ripped shirt that seemed like a dress due to her small stature. She hopped into the water, not caring if it was cold.
She washed herself off, getting the dried blood and dirt. She smiles happily as she swims around the lake.
'This is bliss.'
She got out after a while, water dripping down from her hair. She was silent before grumbling.
'I have nothing to dry off! Nor any clean clothes!'
She silently cried about her situation.
'I totally forgot to get anything for myself. This sucks! First I woke up in a body that was running away, then I started to see things! What the hell is going on?!'
She complained inwardly. Taking note. A warm breeze hit her as it slowly started to get even warmer to hot. She looked towards the hotter area, seeing a woman much like the last yet in a different color. This woman seemed to represent fire.
—Ho? To think there's a female child that isn't afraid. How nice! Maybe those damn fuckers will learn a lesson!
The woman was very blunt and harsh causing the young to be surprised.
"Just what is going on??" She asked.
—Hm? You don't know?
The woman was surprised before smiling widely.
—Seems you're quite innocent! You know nothing of the world, must've been-
She cut her sentence as she noticed chains on the young girls ankles.
—My apologizes... Well, I'm Ignis, a middle class fire spirit. You have Volaris's scent, she must've helped, she is the middle class wind spirit.
The woman explained.
—Originally, us spirits used to be with the woman who ruled before, centuries ago. Men suddenly came up taking over the woman's job, as such, us spirits went into hiding. There are no men spirits, well just 5 at most.
Ignis sighed as she made clothes appear for the young girl to wear. The young girl looks at the woman.
"What exactly is... Spirit?" She tilts her head.
—A spirit is another form of magic child. There are currently 3 different types I believe.... Volaris, come!
A strong wind blew in as the same woman appeared, one from not too long ago.
—Ignis?
Volaris questions.
—There are 3 different types of magic right?
—Nenia Solu has the Spirit form, where we are now. Rinaria has the Relic form, across the Dark Forest. Shieya has the Mana form.
Volaris explains while the earth suddenly showed the map of the Southern countries on the South continent. The young girl listened closely as she saw the explanation from the earth.
—Relics would be hard to get and control!
A voice suddenly came out as a young girl popped her head out of the earth. She happily comes fully out and hugged the other young girl.
—You need a name, maybe Azuris can name you? I'm Quarris! A middle class earth spirit.
The young looking earth spirit moved back as she smiled. Ignis and Volaris were surprised before they smiled brightly.
