Standing there in the deserted night sky with nothing but the shining stars and the humongous tree in the distance Max had no idea where he was at the moment.
Max:where am I right now?I don't see anyone here not a person or even birds or something like that,I know that this must be because I tried to tap into that power earlier,so it's obviously related to that so is this like my inner world or something like that?I don't get any of this,for now let's just walk to that huge tree it's the only thing that I see in here.
He started walking towards the tree hoping that when he got there he would have some idea of what the power he had was,he remembered that thing sealing his power heck he had a chain tattoo on his arm that felt like It was putting pressure on him but in the first place he had no idea what his power was.
He continued walking and finally he managed to get close to the tree and it was breathtaking,the colors that seemed like they were dancing all over the tree
Max:This is amazing,I've never seen something like this somehow it gives of the same feeling as when the spirits in the Palace touched me but this is different...
He got close to the tree and reached out with his hand and touched it and he could feel the mana of the tree,all those colours dancing put a smile on his face.
Max:Ahhh this is so calming,but what am I supposed to do?maybe if I try connecting myself more with the magical energy of the tree I'll get an answer.
He tried to do that and it seemed like it was working so he continued doing so,if I continue maybe something will happen is what was going on in his head
???:I thought I told you your not ready
THIS VOICE!!!
Max:Hey you,I know you you're the one who appeared that time right?you sealed my powers,show yourself,come on what did you have to seal my powers?what cam I do?please tell me,I just need answers.
He was tired,he just wanted some answers and the only person who could give them to him was hiding from him.
???:I honestly am surprised that you managed to come here even with your powers sealed,you really are something else.
In front of him a kid showed up in front of him with small wings on his back,no shirt,long yellow hair,loose white pants and no shoes,and various kinds of symbols and colours all over his body.
???:I thought we would have this conversation in a few more years but look at this in just a couple days you're here,I underestimated you,maybe you're even more talented than her,but it doesn't matter right now.
Max:What are you talking about?
???:Don't worry about it,since you managed to get here,whether you were lucky or not you're here so i guess I'll give you the honor of asking me some questions thatight be burdening you're mind.
Max:O-kay?so what can I call you?
???:Astrid.
Max:So can you please tell me about the powers that you sealed from me?you just gave me a vague explanation and then let.
Astrid:Well that was cleary your fault.
Max:Haa?how was that my fault,you're the one who didn't give a good explanation.
Astrid:How could I the great Astrid of the light not give you a perfect explanation on the matter regarding our contract?obviously you weren't listening when I gave you a detailed explanation humph.
Max was just staring at this kid in front of him puffing his chest out acting all arrogant and he kind of figured out how to talk to him.
Max:Oh great Astrid you are totally right,my incompetence and stupidity led to me thinking that you had not given me a reason as to why you sealed my powers but I see now that it was not the case.
Astrid:Hahaha seems like you finally understand I'm glad you aren't as the others,all stupid but I see that you still have a chance of being a smart guy hahahahaha.
(Can't believe I have to suck up to this guy)
That's what was going through Max's head but there was nothing else he could do to get the answers he wanted.
Astrid:Well come on you can ask what you truly want to ask.
Max:umm thank you great sir...
Astrid:Great spirit,don't forget
Max:Right sorry so great spirit Astrid can you tell me what I need to know,all about the powers that you sealed and why you're here helping and how did I end up in this world.
Astrid:I guess I should start with the important stuff the power that I sealed isn't yours it's mine.
Max:Yours?then why did you seal it?and why can I feel it weighing down on me?
Astrid:That's because we are connected my powers and yours.
Max:How?I had never seen you before that day.
Astrid:it's because of the contract.
Max:Contract?what are you talking about?
Astrid:I'm getting there,you didn't make a contract but someone else did and you are part of that contract.
Max:Who did it?
Astrid:Well you can't know about that,anyway I just sealed my part so you can still use all your magic power albeit with some difficulties
Max:why?
Astrid:Like I said our powers are combined so If I seal my part of course it will affect you as well.
Max:OK I get all that you said I still have questions but it seems you won't answer so final question why am I here?
Astrid:This Is the manifestation of my magical power it created this space.
Max:No not that I mean I wanted to ask you that but I mean why am I here in this world one minute I'm chilling walking home the next I'm here don't get me wrong this is way better than what I had but still why?
Astrid:Well the reason you're here is very simple I was just collecting a debt.
Max:What debt?
Astrid:That's enough for today bye.
Max:Hey wait...
Before he could end it Astrid snapped his fingers and Max was back at Vance's house he layed on the grass and took a deep breath.
'This is too much for one guy ahhh'
