Chereads / Reincarnated as the Protector / Chapter 4 - Compassion

Chapter 4 - Compassion

As i walk together with Urd. we walk into a deep forest, i notice that there is less sunlight in here, and there's more animals in here.

"So, what will she teach me?" I ask Urd while observing animals nearby

"Vanir magic. It's mostly used to restrict people."

"Good to know. And what is sh-" Before i could finish my sentence an arrow flies in front of my eyes, and as it's about to hit me, Urd blocks it for me.

"Calm down Freya, don't attack him. He's here with me."

"What do you want?" I hear a harsh voice from far away.

"He's her-" Before Urd could finish talking i interrupted her, and decided to talk myself.

"I want to learn Vanir magic from you." I say confidently looking in the direction from which the arrow came.

"Why do you want to learn it?" Freya said, while slowly getting closer revealing her body. She was wearing a hunting outfit, with a robe covering her face.

"I want to learn how to protect my people, without hurting others." I say while looking deep into freya's eyes

"Follow me, An you Urd, stay here. Don't come inside"

"Fine, i'll wait here for him"

As i start following Freya i look at her and wonder how is she so different from her brother, and decide to ask her.

"So, where are we going?"

"My house, i'll teach you there"

"I met your brother before, how are you two so different?" As i say those words Freya stops, and turn around to ask me something.

"Is he still so carefree?"

"I don't know how he was before, but he's the most free person i have ever seen" I say while smiling

"Come inside, i will get to you soon. I have to bring something" Freya said, while walking away

As i enter her house, i notice a large fireplace on the right, with a big cauldron put on it. As i walk towards it i decide to sit on the couch near the fireplace to wait for Freya. While waiting i decided to read the book that Freyr gave me. While in the middle of reading i notice freya walking back in, and decide to ask her. 

"So, what will i learn today?"

Freya turned towards me and said.

"you will learn how to control plants, for example these vines over there." Freya said while demonstrating her abilities, and making the vines get closer to us

"How did you do it?"

"Well, you just need to imagine having a connection with these plants, and if you can feel them as a part of your body you can move them as you like."

After hearing those words, i decided to give it a try, but nothing happened, and when i looked at freya, she was laughing lightly.

"Not so fast kid, to be able to do so, you first need to make a special drink which will connect you with the plant you used to make the drink." 

After saying those words freya started showing me how to make that drink step by step.

"So first, you need to get some mistletoe, part of the plant you want to use, your own blood, and some water, as well as some cloudberry. Then, you mix it all together in a heated cauldron, until a orange colored, liquid is created. After it's done you can drink it, and try using the plant. Want to try making it?"

As i look at what Freya had made, i try to remember everything, and try to replicate what she did.

After making the drink myself i look at it, wondering if i did it right.

"Good job. You made it correctly, which plant did you use to make it?"

"I used the roots of the trees whiche are near the river, i notice that they are flexible, so i decided to used them."

Freya looked at the potion, and said to me. 

"Good choice, want to try using it?"

I look at the potion wondering how it will taste. After thinking for a while i drink it, and notice that it tastes like honey.

"It's sweet. What tree did i use?"

"It's sycamore. Now try using the roots of that tree"

As i try to manipulate the roots of the tree, i notice them not moving at all.

"I can feel the tree, but i can't move it."

"It's normal, it's already weird that you're able to feel it already."

Freya said while smiling at me.

"Anyways, i need to also teach you alchemy"

"So, making potions?"

"Yeah, something like that. I'll teach you how to make some strong medicine"

As i hear those words, i start wondering if i will be able to make potions that can regrow limbs

"So, with what will we start?"

"Try remembering everything i do"

After 3 hours of learning alchemy from Freya, i start leaving the forest.

As i'm walking through the forest, i notice that Urd is waiting for me, to tell me something.

"Will anyone else teach me?

"No, the rest of the day is free. Just remember don't be late for Tyr's lesson."

As i hear those words i smile a bit and say.

"Great, then i'm going to my room, see you tommorow"

After saying this i start heading to my room, and as i enter it i open the system, and start reading about my abilities
