Chapter 3 - Working Together

Moana decided that Mina had a good point and an even better starting point. "Okay, you simply tell me what you want to do and then I will move my body."

"That might work in the beginning, but there will be times that I will need to be in control of this body. We both need to learn to share control of where we are now." Mina needed Moana to see that they had to share the space they were in. What if an animal needed help and the only way to help was to perform surgery? Mina needed to be able to move their body around as she wished too.

"Fine. We can take turns. I guess you can go first since I already know how to move around. I guess you do need a crash course."

Mina thought that Moana was being very gracious in allowing her to go first. Trying not to overthink how she was moving, she tried to simply stand up. Their body moved stiffly at first but then evened out into smooth natual motion. When not fighting against each other to control their body, it seemed easy and natural to move around.

Mina moved over to the mirror she spotted across the room. Once she got there she took a good look at the 10 year old girl in the mirror. The young features were similar to her own as an adult. She had long red hair with light lavender hightlights. Her green eyes sparkled with youth and energy. Her skin was flawless and a little plump, pale as ivory with pink lips and a small, soft mouth. There was no doubt she would be a great beauty when she finished growing up.

Mistress is very pretty, yes. Now, would you like to get on with the missions at hand?

"Wait, we need to discuss what is involved with these missions. Not only that but Moana needs revenge."

[Revenge Mission] added to Supreme Missions List. Would you like to see the missions menu?

"Yes! Let's see what it takes to make them pay." Mina was eager to get started. Moana was surprised at how quickly Mina had adapted to her knowledge and quest for revenge.

"System, how does all this work? Can we see all the levels we need to achieve success?" Moana was good at finding the important questions despite her young age.

Mistress or Moana needs only ask for status update to get updates on the current missions in progress. Ask for mana levels and the menu for the mana cultivation will open. Each mission that is completed will help unlock new levels of mana cultivation.

Special skills will be unlocked once new levels of mana cultivation have been achieved. New contracts can also be unlocked when meeting new beasts.

"Beasts?" Mina was momentarily confused. She went back through Moana's memories to find the answers she needed.

The beasts of this world were both fierce and intelligent. Most of the preditors preyed on the people of the world that tresspassed into their territories. The prey animals had less intelligence then their preditor counterparts and were either used for food or domesticated and turned into pets. To Moana's knowledge, no contracts had ever been made with any of the beats of the world.

"System, how are contracts with the beasts formed?"

Mistress needs to have enough mana in the beasts favored energy or combination of energies and physicall touch the beast to speak with their soul and form the contract.

It sounded easy enough, but Mina was concerned about the predators that they would have to get close to. Most of the ones in Moana's memory were fierce looking beasts that would sooner have them for dinner than allow any touch.

"Okay, let's start with just seeing our mana levels. System, show us the mana menu." Mina was ready to get started.

Mana Menu:

Fire Level 2: 50/100 points

Air Level 0: 0/25 points

Water Level 0: 0/25 points

Earth Level 1: 48/50 points

Spirit Level 2: 70/100 points

Skills:

Flaming Arrows Level 1

Heat Wave Level 1

Heal Self Level 1

Minor Heal Level 1

Mission Points +2

Daily Pack +1

"Wow. Moana you've worked hard to get your skills to the levels they are at. I'm impressed. System what can the mission points do?"

Mistress, mission points can be added to mana levels or to skills to increase the level or upgrade the attributes.

"I've only had an affinity for Spirit, Fire, and Earth. Does this mean I can cultivate all 5 types of mana now??" Moana was elated at the prospect of being a once in a millenium genius cultivator in all 5 energies. This would make her revenge against her Uncle and Cousin all the sweeter

Moana and Mistress have the ability to cultivate all the energies available in this world. Only by cultivating the energy will you then be able to contract and gain from the beasts.

Mina was listening almost as eagerly as Moana. A plan was slowly forming in her mind as to how to make it big in this world. She was going to continue as she had been in her old life of taking care of all the animals she came into contact with. Hopefully,, this would enable both her and Moana to contract with some exotic beasts. It will at least bring wealth to them in adition to fame and respectability.

"Moana, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Well, since we share the same body you would think so...but NO! We only share memories. I can no more read your mind than you can read mine. Tell me what plans you are making now."

Mina sighed and kept her frustrations in check before she spoke to Moana. "I think I should continue to treat animals or beasts here as I did in my old life. This way we can gain both wealth and respect of the people while you cultivate. This way we both make our marks and we can both use our newfound wealth and respect to get even."

Moana smiled. "Mina, I think this is the beginning of a wonderful partnership."
