Jill and Selena delved deeper into the mystical forest, where ancient trees loomed like guardians of forgotten secrets. The air was heavy with enchantment, and the soft melodies of unseen creatures filled the silence.
As they journeyed through this otherworldly realm, Selena's ethereal presence remained ever watchful over Jill. She had been quietly monitoring his mana, and what she discovered left her both astonished and intrigued.
"Jill," Selena whispered, her voice a gentle caress in his mind, "there's something... extraordinary about your mana."
Jill turned to her, curiosity and concern etched across his face. "Extraordinary? What do you mean?"
Selena's eyes, shimmering with a faint glint of fascination, remained locked onto him. "Dark mages, like yourself, typically carry impurities within their mana. It's a consequence of embracing dark magic—a corruption that fuels their power. But your mana... it's incredibly pure, untainted by any impurity."
Jill's surprise was palpable. The idea that his mana differed from that of other dark mages was unexpected and baffling. "How is that even possible?" he wondered aloud.
Selena's voice in his mind held a note of fascination as she explained, "Dark mages often grow stronger by accumulating impurities in their mana, a willing sacrifice for power. It's a treacherous path, leading to madness and the erosion of one's humanity. Yet, your mana remains untouched by impurity, as if it's preserved in its purest form."
Jill was left both astounded and perplexed. The revelation that his mana was unique raised profound questions about the source of his abilities and the path he was destined to walk.
"Could this purity be the key to unlocking even greater power?" Jill wondered aloud.
Selena's response was measured, her expression thoughtful. "It's possible. Your pristine mana may hold the potential for extraordinary magic. But it also carries risks, for it defies the conventional wisdom of dark magic. We must proceed cautiously, Jill, and unravel the truth behind your extraordinary abilities."
As they continued their journey through the mystical forest, the mysteries surrounding Jill's mana deepened. The young mage had embarked on a quest for vengeance and truth, but now he understood that his path was marked by even greater complexity. His journey was not solely about seeking justice but also about unlocking the potential within himself, and the enigma of his pure mana would be a challenge that would shape the course of his destiny.
