after she saw me she held my gaze for a few moments Thin she jumped into the water and swam away. Few minutes later my Aunt came down to chic on me,
"did you know there's people down hear"
I said still staring at the water's surface. I cadent keep the image of the girl swimming away out of my mind.
" ya there's a small colony of nature spirits down hear. that's why there is such strong natural magica down hear, they only live in an area with strong in magica"
she said with a glance toward the water's edge. Few hours later at lunch my mom was asking questions like how was training, anything new, how was the creatures, and ect. I answered normally to here questions with it's ok, no, they wear interesting, and etc. eventually i decided just to call the colony of spirits down there dryads. do to them supposedly living near the bottom of the oasis in what my ant cold the green fields
The next morning I went down to the oasis to meditate and to train. Ween I was meditating I heard 2 strange voice the first was a manes voice low and gravelly with a harsh rattle to it, And the other was a dry echoy voice. He was saying something on the lines of
"I hear that there's a now applicint"
Sid the first voice
" yes master he is a young one from a cold land up north in the newly civil land"
side the second.
"Hmmm where is he now"
side the first
"he is in a land of sand and beasts down south of the newly civil land"
said the second. Ween I closed my eyes to try on blocking out the noses I cold hear. I sow a dark room with a old thin man wearing a long black rob that only covered half of his body. holding a skull with a faint green flame in its eye sockets.
"What is that master"
seed the skull with a more intense green fire, I had the sensation that it was looking towards me. The old man turned towards me and said
"I'm not sure, it looks like a ball. maybe its someone spying on me? Hmmm"
he thin raised his renkley old hand and waved it. after that I saw and heard no more.
When I regain my awareness again I realized that old man might have knocked me out there to stop me from spying on hem any further. I'm not even shore how I did that. all I was doing was listening to the surrounding ambience. eventually I noticed there was a strange sensation under my head it was like I was resting my head on an ice pack or in a pool of water. Ween I opened my eyes there she was the young dryad
"your ok, just rest you'll feel better in a moment" after she said that I noticed a strong pounding sensation in my head.
Few minutes later my headache was gone, when I seat up she backed off tried to retreat bake to the water.
"Stop, please come back I just wanna talk! and it would be nice to thank the one how looked after me ween I was uncinches"
I horridly said to here trying to convince here to stay a little longer. she tried getting up for a second but decided to here me out. She stopped and turned here face to look ate me dreactly.
"what do you want to talk about"
she boldly said with a determined toon. but I cold sea a glimmer of fear in here blue green eyes. Hear voice was stern but with a quiver in it like she was terrified of me.
"I just wanna know what you did to me and what happened"
I said. She that about it and replied to my questions not once looking away from me.
" I'm note shore how much I can say but all I know is that you were siting a bit away from the water front staring Strat towards our village. after a sentry returned back to the village to report what he saw. the chief cold a grope of us to go out there to keep a eye on you."
she seemed quite prod of here self ween she mentioned the chief cold for a scouting party. if I had to guess she probably wasn't originally planed to come on out and watch me. and even more so help this stranger that the tribe seamed too fear.
"After that you fell over and we came up to the surface to sea what was up. after I ordered the others to report back to my Faerr.... chief I decided to help you by using some simple healing magic"
I'm pretty Shure she was about to say father there. I looked at here with a knowing grin which seamed to case here to panic and tern away trying to whistle. it was hard holding back a chuckle from here cute reaction.
"Why did you do that"
I said. trying to plaster over my previous reaction
"what healing you"
she said seeming to forget abut here previous blonder
"yea, because I've always heard that spirits like you dryads are verily seclusive beings"
She shrugged not seeming to notice my blonder and said
"I'm not sure why I did it rely. you just seamed to be in some sort of trouble. my father has all was told me to help those in need"
she finished with a slight blush. it seams the chief is a good man I'm plenty sure he was meaning to help here people but it is nice to help a total stranger too, from time to time. After a lol in the conversation formed my aunt and mom came down. and she returned back to the water.
" hmmm that's unusual" said my aunt.
"What"
I said getting up and turning toward them
"they don't normally show themselves to humans not to Minchin talking to us"
she responded turning to Loke at the water front.
"So what were you two talking about" asked my mother with a slight grin.
" I collapsed earlier after hearing a old man and a talking skull. she came to the surface to heal me and then we eventually started to talk and she was going to tell me about healing magic"
I answered. my mom seamed to be rely worried about me but My ant seemed surprised "really now. you cold hear someone else and by the sound of it you cold see them too. it mite be what ancient text call the site" my ant said to me seeming surprised
" I don't know much, all I know is before I passed out i cold"
my mom tried to interrupt me but my aunt quotes here I just continued trying not to get to distracted.
" before I passed out I saw an old man and a talking skull thin after I passed out she was using what she called simple healing magic to heal me acing head"
my aunt thought for a will, thin said
"do you want to learn healing magic"
I nodded. And excitedly said
"when do we start"
A few weeks later my aunt was showing my the finer points of healing magic, ween the dryad came up out of the water. She seemed to de with some other older dryads and a weird creature it looked like a cow with the lower half of a fish and the upper of a extremally will belt golden blue bull. the weird thing wasn't the bull-fish but how the surrounding mana felt. it seamed to be sad some how. The creature's ora seemed to be vary similar to the magica that is flowing around the oasis.
"What the fuch is that"
said my mom which was unusual for here that is the fist time I hired here swore in front of anyone
"it looks like a sea-cow, maybe a shophosoris"
I muttered to my self. looking at my mother out of the corner of my eye. One of the dryads nodded and seed
" we have heard of your power of site and healing"
nodding toward the bull. the older dryad how was covered in many integrate tattoos
"he was badly heart a few years back and we can't folly heal him not even our greatest elders effects seam to be enough"
said the dryad how seamed to be the one in charge of guiding the creator. I looked towards my out and she nodded. I approached the creature and put my hands on its head, then I soddenly fell a overwhelming feeling of power. which was pushing against my hands. like it was ready to burst forth out of the bull at any time. I closed my eyes and searched for what ailed it. Ween I found it, it felt like a bark howl of pain and anguish slowly swallowing me hole.
