"More and more spirits began showing up, performing the spirit dance. The soldiers began dying one by one in agonising pain, their souls destroyed as they couldn't bear the burden of the energys from the spirit realm flooding into the material realm. This influx of energys was due to the temporary link created by me and Sophie, spirit dance. Spirits joined in the dancing, both beings from the material and spiritual realms needed to perform a spirit dance, it essential to form a spirit forest. Permanently linking the two realms. Beings from both realms are capable of surviving in this spirit forest for extended periods, unlike the spirit realm which would strain material beings and material Realm that would strain spiritual beings.
The soldiers, in their agony, began firing randomly and wildly, as if in a desperate attempt to fight an unseen enemy. Unfortunately, these shots were nothing more than wild firing and didn't hit anything but the ocean. Finally, everything fell silent as the last of the soldiers perished."
The energies from the spirit realm were pouring in indiscriminately, mixing with those of the material realm, but they were hopelessly out of balance. This imbalance led to chaotic and violent weather, transitioning abruptly from summer to winter, with natural disasters forming and disappearing quickly. As more and more spirits joined in the spirit dance, the energies began to mix and balance each other out. After an hour, they finally achieved proper balance, and small trees began to grow.
Passionately, I kissed Sophie, our tongues intertwining fervently, only breaking away when she needed air. Suddenly, my unique Magic Rainbow Flame transformation was triggered autonomously. My hair turned rainbow, my eyes adopted rainbow hues, and even my retracted wings transformed into a rainbow color. My clothes, incinerated by the rainbow flames, the flames solidified into a dress. Sophie materialized a pitch-black armour made of darkness and shadow, resembling full plate armor without a helmet. It was clear: a battle attire.

Unexpectedly, a torrent of rainbow flames erupted from me, while a torrent of darkness and shadow surged from Sophie. To my surprise, my rainbow flames didn't harm the new baby trees; instead, they seemed to aid their growth. However, their influence was evident, as the trees began to transform into Rainbow Flame Trees influenced by me, and Shadow and Darkness Trees influenced by Sophie.
We continued dancing for hours until finally, the Spirit Forest was complete. As for why the spirits desire a Spirit Forest, it serves as a meeting ground between spirits and material beings, allowing for the signing of permanent contracts. Summoning constitutes a temporary contract, with the spirit returning to the spirit realm upon completing its terms. Therefore, a Spirit Forest is necessary to facilitate negotiations for a permanent contract, a process which can be time-consuming as it requires earning the spirit's trust. The benefits for the spirit far outweigh those of a simple summoning.
There are historical mentions of ancient civilizations making contracts with spirits. In the early days of the Roman Empire, Romans likely had access to spirits through a Spirit Forest and managed to establish permanent contracts with them. However, this is speculative and based on historical records. Now that our understanding has evolved, we recognize that ancient civilizations had knowledge of magic and fantasy creatures, rather than dismissing them entirely due to their inability to fit into our limited understanding of physics, biology, and other sciences.
It was once a common belief that the laws of physics couldn't be broken, a sentiment viewed by some as the height of human arrogance and stupidity. The laws of physics are based on human observation and understanding, anything not understood by humans could be perceived as violating these laws of physics.
It's believed that Christianity, during its witch hunts, likely targeted not only potential ancient magic users but also creatures like spirits and destroyed the spirit forests of the time. This era gave rise to the scientific civilisation known today as the pre-Awakened era. After we stopped dancing, we collapsed on the ground, falling asleep.
