Chapter 29 - Lifeflow Matrix

The sun rose high in the sky, casting its warm golden rays over the island. The friends gathered on the shores, ready to put their plan into action. With determination in their eyes, they divided themselves into groups, each assigned a specific task.

Kaito and Malik ventured deeper into the dense forest, their keen eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of movement. They moved stealthily, their footsteps barely making a sound as they tracked their prey. After a patient wait, they finally spotted a majestic deer grazing peacefully in a clearing. With careful precision, Kaito aimed his bow and let the arrow fly, hitting the target with remarkable accuracy. The arrow hit deer on its leg, making it incapable of escape. The essence could only be stored from a living being, so it was very important for them to catch they prey with out killing them. They soon captured few rabbits and some birds.

Meanwhile, Danish and Turan scoured the shoreline, their eyes fixated on the crashing waves. They were on the lookout for sea creatures that could supply the necessary essence. As luck would have it, they stumbled upon a group of playful dolphins frolicking in the sparkling blue water. Quick as lightning, they cast their nets and managed to capture a few fish, their shimmering scales reflecting the sunlight. They also returned to the meeting place, where Lili and Leila were waiting for them, with their catch not long after Kaito and Malik had returned.

The place of meeting was very close to the shore as there were high chances for the catch from the sea dying. They had set it just behind few bushes away from the shore. There was no fear of some one being there, so there was not too much to worry about anyone being there.

As soon as the sacrifice was ready, Lili cut a small incisure on her left hand. Scarlet droplets of blood started flowing out of it, flew into the air, revolving around Lili's right hand. It was Lili's essence that was required to draw the formation-Lifeflow Matrix, which would capture the essence of the prey, they had hunted.

The Lifeflow Matrix was a formation that captured and stored the essence of living beings, acting as a conduit for life energy within a structured matrix. It enabled the wielder to harness and utilize this energy for magical purposes.

Lili moved her hand in a certain way, she also murmured few words from Ruhelom, and formed few patterns in the air, which combined to form a giant circle of five square meters, engulfing all the catch in the area. Soon a brilliant formation formed on the earth that dissipated slowly in to nothingness.

The formation was still there, but it could only be felt by those who knew the magic. And as for the formation the were very important for the Ruhelom to take physical form. Knowing Ruhelom and the inscription was equally important. It was not known how the calligraphy came into being, but according to few, it was brought down by the great prophets sent down to bring peace and stability to the worlds. The prophets, though, could without any inscriptions connect with the Divine, but the rest of creatures were incapable to do so, so the prophets over time came with these calligraphies and diagrams to help bring the Ruhelom into a physical form.

With another moment of her hands Lili activated the Lifeflow Matrix. Soon, a fiery red flaming light engulfed the animals. A red fluid started flowing out of each prey and started gathering at the center of the formation. The essence of the animals was now at their disposal, they could now use it to bring their plan into action.

"A fair price for a fair transaction." murmured Malik.

"The process of permanently storing the essence requires compressing it under immense pressure, forming a crystalline structure. This crystal acts as a vessel, preserving the essence's power and stability over time," Lili explained.

As Lili continued to share her knowledge about the permanent storage of essence, the friends listened attentively, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. Each of them understood the importance of this information and its potential implications for their journey into the world of magic. They were eager to learn.

With precision and grace, Lili's hands moved swiftly across the ground, etching intricate patterns and symbols that formed the foundation of the massive formation. The energy in the air seemed to respond to her touch, crackling and swirling with anticipation. The friends watched in awe as the formation took shape, spanning the vast expanse of the plain.

As Lili completed the final strokes, a surge of energy emanated from the formation, spreading through the soil and infusing it with a newfound vitality. The once barren and lifeless field began to transform before their eyes. Sprouts emerged from the ground, rapidly growing into lush green plants, vibrant flowers, and flourishing crops. It was a sight of sheer magic and wonder.

The friends exchanged amazed glances, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment and hope. They knew that with this enchanted field, they could provide sustenance not only for themselves but also for the villagers of Saltmarsh. It was a testament to the power of their newfound knowledge and the remarkable abilities of the Ruhelom language.

as Lili explained to them, the friends now understood the vital role of the Lifeflow Matrix in sustaining the enchanted field's functionality. It served as the source of power and essence that fueled the field's growth and productivity. Lili had explained that as long as the Lifeflow Matrix contained a sufficient amount of essence, the field would continue to thrive.

They realized that the essence within the Lifeflow Matrix acted as the life force that animated the enchanted field, enabling it to flourish and produce bountiful crops. It was a delicate balance, requiring them to monitor the essence levels closely and ensure its continual replenishment.

The friends made a pact to prioritize the maintenance and upkeep of the Lifeflow Matrix. They understood that the field's success relied on their vigilance in collecting and storing essence, ensuring a steady supply to the supporting formation. They took turns monitoring the essence levels, ensuring that the Lifeflow Matrix never ran dry.

They knew that the field's productivity was directly tied to the Lifeflow Matrix's vitality. They were determined to maintain a harmonious cycle of energy, drawing essence from the living beings, storing it within the Lifeflow Matrix, and channeling it into the enchanted field. It was through this continuous exchange of essence that the field thrived, offering them an abundant harvest.

The friends stood in awe as they gazed upon the magnificent sight of the flourishing cornfield. The once small sprouts had transformed into towering stalks, adorned with ripe, golden ears of corn. The air was filled with a sweet, earthy scent, and the gentle rustling of the corn leaves whispered a melody of success.

Excitement and anticipation coursed through their veins as they realized that their hard work, dedication, and the magic of the enchanted field had brought forth an abundant harvest. It was a moment of triumph, a testament to their unwavering belief in the power of unity and the potential of Ruhelom.

With joyful hearts and gleaming scythes in hand, they ventured into the cornfield, ready to gather the fruits of their labor. Each friend carefully selected a sturdy corn stalk, taking a moment to appreciate the life it had nurtured and the nourishment it would provide.

With precise motions, they began to cut the ripe corn ears, their blades gliding effortlessly through the sturdy husks. The sound of the blades meeting the corn stalks filled the air, accompanied by frequent laughter and giggles.

As the corn was collected and gathered into baskets, the weight of their success became tangible. The baskets overflowed with the fruits of their labor, promising sustenance, and abundance for their community. Each ear of corn symbolized their collective effort, the embodiment of their dreams and aspirations.

Filled with gratitude, they took a moment to express their appreciation for the magic that had brought them together, for the bountiful harvest that would nourish their village, and for the unity that had made it all possible.

Their spirits soared as they envisioned the positive impact their harvest would have on their community. They saw a future filled with prosperity, where the abundance of the enchanted field would bring not only sustenance but also hope and opportunity to those in need.

With their first harvest complete, the friends shared a heartfelt celebration, feasting on the fruits of their labor. They savored the taste of the sweet, juicy corn, grateful for the magic that had transformed their dreams into reality.

The cycle did not stop at the first harvest, it continued. Soon there were more harvests and the containers they had brought with them were full to the brim. The friends began their return journey to the island. where Danish Father had already sent a cart waiting for them.
