Chapter 37 - water dragon part 3

Serenity decides to investigate the magical crystal. She spends 30 minutes investigating the huge crystal, she hears in her head again "Ding… Water Whip blessing has increased by 4 power levels."

After investigating the crystal for these 30 minutes she finds nothing written on it. She decides to try to analyse it using her aura. She sits down and starts meditating, spreading her aura thinly across the ground around her, as she spreads her aura along the floor she can feel every little bump and piece of gravel along the floor around her, slowly understanding the composition of the rock the ground is made of. Serenity keeps spreading her aura out thinner till it's paper thin, it starts covering the crystal like a thin see through blanket. The crystal starts to repel the aura, puncturing holes into it and forcing it down. Serenity keeps forcing her aura back up the crystal, this continues for about 10 minutes till Serenity feels tiny holes cover the crystal and her aura flows freely through it.

"Ding… Giant Water Crystal has been analysed"

Giant Water Crystal

Description: This crystal forms when water elements are in a high quantity in a particular area, using this crystal in a particular method can increase a water users strength… THE REST CAN'T BE SEEN DUE TO INSUFFICIENT STRENGTH

Serenity stands back up in a huff, catching her breath. "Wow this crystal is impressive" she sits in front of it and lays her hands on the front surface, as both her hands lay upon the crystal a surge of energy flows through Serenity and pours into the depths of her soul.

"Ding… soul purification complete. Luck increased by 5 points and Potential increased by 10 points. Element affinity condensed to 1 element (Water)"

"Ding… all Water blessing have increased to power level 20. Soul stat has been increased by 500 points"

"Ding… you have received the Moon Spirit blessing"

After a few minutes the giant crystal slowly turns grey and cracks all along it. The room Serenity is in suddenly looses all of its colour and light and the aura in the room disappears.

As Serenity stands up she feels how dense her aura is now. She can feel it on the tips of her fingers. She stretches her arm out and suddenly a huge whip forms in her hand, shocked she releases her fist and the whip disspates into light blue sparkles within an instant. She remembers her water whip blessing and takes note of the activation requirements for this blessing.

She followed her rope towards the exit, climbing out of the cave entrance with her comically giant back pack on her back. As she lifted herself up from the cave she hears russling in the forest behind her, once she got up the cave rumbled and collapsed behind her. Taking note of the collapsing cave she pulled her attention to the only movement that she has ever heard in the forest.

She looked in the direction of the sound and sees a few people looking towards her. She draws her mace/staff weapon "what do you want?!" She yells to them.

They walk out hands in the air as they sence her aura and the pressure it gives off, "we where just walking past and noticed a sound and a powerful aura. We mean no harm to you" the leader says.

"All good then, I thought you where here to attack me because my party hasn't returned" she says as she puts her hand on the back of her head and laughing.

"Oh… what happened to your party?" The leader inqisites.

"They died" Serenity says none chalantly.

"Are you okay? How did they die with your strength? Let's maybe move from here?" The leader shockingly stated.

"No need. They died of poisonous water, I was there slave so they denied me water and they all suddenly fainted and died with a few hours. I've been searching for a way out for a few days now but I stumbled across this building but there is nothing inside." Serenity says as she walks closer to them.

They take her and leave the dungeon, "So what are you doing now without your party?" One of the people says who rescued her.

"I'm going to return to my home town and see my parents again." Serenity says as she walks away.

"Oh okay." The people say as they walk in opposite directions.

________________________________________

Serenity spends a few weeks going back to her home town, using various maps and directions people give her, wether it be because of feer or actually wanting to help.

Once she makes it back she goes to the police station and asked where they would be. They say that they recently have been released because their child has been bought and their debt has been paid.

Shocked she walks to the old library where they worked, she walks in and sees her parents sitting at the desk with a pile of books and a dreadful look on their face. She walks to them, "Mum, dad! It's so great to see you again!" She yells as she walks gracefully towards them. With shock her parents look up and jumped over the desk towards her embracing her in a huge hug.

"We heard you where sold as a slave? What happened?" Her mum says looking at her with tears running down her face.

"I was, but I escaped them. But I was stuck in a dungeon for a good week but all the books you read to me helped me. I managed to leave and make it back here."

"We are so relieved. We can't wait to get back to our ordinary lives." Her dad says with a strong face holding back tears.

"About that, I don't think there will be normal. I want to move to Rainfor City, let's build our life over there we will have plenty of opportunities and I will be able to train in the dungeon there. I'm not weak anymore, my path has presented itself to me" Serenity says as her parents sit down to take it all in.
