Few days passed by as the group of travellers were now settled in. The area of the forest where they were staying at was transformed into a jaw dropping scene. There were now three big wooden two story buildings in the center that resembled ancient buildings for the rich in the eastern lands long ago each and upon looking closely each and every detail was carved with great craftsmanship, a historical scholar would faint at great shock seeing this lost craftsmanship. In front of the three wooden buildings laid a blue peaceful clear lake that had people with looks similar to gods if someone would to see them say this, soaking their feet in the water laughing at each other’s company or either joining the rest roasting a huge bear upon a large campfire.
A handsome middle age man with black stubble upon his face was holding a big bone of meat while taking big bites; he twirled his fingers on his neck leaving a faint white light. “Everyone meet me at the center building after lunch” A breeze of wind containing a whisper was sent out to all the elders.
Nodding or either replying Yes Chief with their own whispers the elders of the clan who were relaxing or eating smiled with excitement after hearing the chief.
The Chief twirled his fingers again “Thank you for your efforts everyone, before we start searching for our ancestor’s legacy we will first map out our destination then we’ll send out search parties!”
As the Chiefs voice echoed through to the clan everyone listened with much excitement with eyes wide open. The reason they have been running for all these years was for this moment, finding their ancestors legacy they will finally be free. No more running, or hiding, they can be at peace.
Seeing the clans intense emotions, the Chief nodded he too has been waiting for this day for a long time. “Everyone can continue with their work and since we’re about settled in how about we start the children’s spiritual energy training?”
“Yay!” Large excited screams exploded as all the children became very excited as they jumped up and down intensely gazing at their parents or the Chief.
“haha” All the elders and parents laugh and smiled from seeing their juniors and children become so excited. Ever since they started running the children haven’t started their spiritual training yet. They could only occasionally swing a sword or work on their hand arts with the little time they had to spare between running and hiding.
Smiling the Chief was filled with joy a clan will become stronger if the sprouts are willing to give it their best. “Aunt Jeni I leave it to you”
An older woman that had an aura of wisdom that complemented her beauty and golden hair that glowed on par with the sun nodded with a smile.
After lunch the clan dispersed to do their jobs, some were resupplying and some were patrolling the area for hidden dangers.
Outside the center of the buildings all the kids were standing in a line with back straights facing a beautiful woman blonde woman Aunt Jeni. Seeing their well-mannered postures Aunt Jeni smiled as she thought a bit of how to start.
Nodding a few moments she began to explain “Does anyone here know what spiritual energy is?”
“Its power within to cast magi spells?” A young cute girl answered with her tiny hand raised up
“Good answers Leela but your only half right, anyone else?”
“Spiritual Energy is the energy of our understanding of the elements?” A young pretty girl no older than eight answered
while holding a cute smaller girls hand while using her other hand to suck her thumb.
“Good answer Mei, but that again is also half right”
A young handsome youth at the end of the line no older than nine with a seemingly quiet attitude and calm face pondered for a bit and raised his hand up.
Aunt Jeni seeing at the corner of her eye saw a small hand up and smiled “Kai go ahead”
Nodding with his small head Kai answered in a quiet voice “Spiritual Energy is the energy that all living things have, it’s
like a small pond of water inside our bodies that helps us understand and cast element spells of magi”
Aunt Jeni smiled and nodded, This little boy has the same wisdom his mother had. Remembering her old friend Aunt Jeni had a hint of sadness in her eyes. Quickly forgetting the memory she answered Kai with a smile. “Good Answer Kai that is what spiritual Energy is”
Having answered the right answer Kai smiled and nodded. In the corner of his eye he realizes someone was staring at him, turning around he sees a little girl who answered earlier Mei, pouting. Is she sad I answered correctly? Seeing Mei so unhappy Kai couldn’t help but laugh and stick his tongue out at the little girl.
Seeing the little boy answer the correct answer she pouted, she was always praised for her intelligence by her Mother but Kai always seems to be one step ahead of her.
“haha” Kai enjoyed the little girls Mei’s reaction, he found it to be very cute.
“Now to use your spiritual energy you must first set up a connection with your own spiritual energy. Close your eyes and try to feel a weird sensation at the center of your chest”
Everyone began to close their eyes to feel their spiritual energy. Kai concentrated hard on trying to find his spiritual energy.
Thirty minutes or so past by and not one child sense their spiritual energy yet. “Everyone do your best it’s normal to not sense your spiritual energy yet, try to relax and feel a sensation that is coursing throughout your body” Aunt Jeni gave out a few tips trying to guide the young sprouts.
Energy coursing through my body? Mhmm. Kai still concentrating hard kept trying to sense every part of his body that had a weird sensation. Huh? I never realize this before but a tiny warm feeling no smaller than a tiny rain drop flows down from my chest to the veins of my arms then legs! Is this spiritual energy!? Kai became all excited and continued to track this sensation of warmness around his body.
As time passes by the sky was turning dark as the kids continue to train before going to bed the Chief and four other elders were standing around a table with a huge map of a forest that was marked with red circles around specific areas. The mood was very serious as they continue to emit an Aura of white glow as a small breeze of wind pass by each minute.
“Cassy, did a full search in this area, no sign of any of our great ancestors land here either” A handsome older man with jet black hair pointed at the north side of the map, as he did a red circle appeared.
“Me and Brune also did a search in this area, and you were right the closer we reach the center the higher ranking magical beast there is” An older man with grey hair next to the man who answered earlier also pointed at an area of the map leaving a red circle.
“mhmm, I believe we have no choice but to search this area” A older man standing next to the chief stroke his white beard as he pointed at the center of the forest.
Hearing the older man with the white beard speak the rest of the group were shuddered, at the center of the forest was the forest lord with his magical beast army if they go near that place they might provoke the forest lord.
“What do you say Chief?” A blonde handsome man quietly asked, hoping that they will not search near the forest lord.
“Mhmm” Thinking for a bit the Chief scratched his chin wondering on what to do.
“I believe our great ancestor would not be at the center, you all heard and read the stories do you think she enjoys being the center of attention?” The Chief asked smiling remembering all the stories of the great ancestor.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“Haha” Scratching their heads and laughing the group now understood that there’s no way the ancestors legacy will be at the center of the forest so close to the Forest’s lords treasures.
“I believe it’s all the way here somewhere across at the end of the forest next to the seas” The chief said while pointing at the edge of the map.
“But Chief if we search there we have to pass the forest Lord’s area” The Blonde Man hurriedly said to prevent any crazy decisions the Chief usually makes when he’s excited.
“Haha Precisely that’s why I’ll go speak to the forest lord and ask permission” The Chief smiled, stood up and grabbed a black sheathed small blade inside an old brown bag next to him.
“Ask the forest lord for permission!” The group was greatly shocked and instantly rejects the Chief’s dangerous decision.
“Chief please think about it for a second, this is the forest lord were talking about” The blonde man hurriedly tried to stop the Chief.
“Haha, Don’t worry Zuba,” The Chief patted the blonde man Zuba’s shoulder. The Chief than walked to an open window and took sudden breath of fresh air.
“Chief wait!” The grouped yelled still in shocked
“It’ll only take a moment!” The Chief laughed and quickly did a few hand incantations on both on his shoulder blades then it began to emit a faint white light, as the faint white light glow lighter a gust of wind was formed blowing in the room blowing everything around. The wind disappeared, and then condensed behind the Chief’s back turning into a Light White Feathered Wings.
“Rank 6 Eagle Wings!”
“Chief Wai-“ Zuba hurriedly ran to the Chief trying to grab his arm to prevent him from leaving but as soon as he was close enough the Chief jumped and flew out of the window leaving a mini sonic boom behind.
“Zuba It’s useless you know when the Chief is like this nothing’s going to stop him.” The older Man with the white beard lightly laughed and patted Zuba’s shoulder.
*Sigh* “ever since we were kids that guys does not think before he acts” Zuba lightly laughed and shooked his head, he’s known the Chief ever since they were kids, Zuba was the rational one and the Chief was always action before plans.
The group laughed while shaking their heads, it was truly useless to stop the Chief from making any rash decisions since they have many memories of all the chief’s actions these past years.
As the night arrives with the guideship of the moon light help the living slumber, the group of elders was still in the room discussing future plans. As they occasionally looked at the sky where the chief disappeared they left a prayer for The Chiefs protection.
As the Chief flew with lightning speed, he could not help but shiver as he senses the powerful forces around him. “What a powerful forest, there’s a lot of high ranking magical beasts here”
A few moments fast by as the Chief continue to fly slowing down his speed a bit as he got closer to the center of the forest. Continuing to fly a wave of spiritual energy mixed with, green Qi suddenly burst from the center of the forest and slammed at the Chief with a force like a meteor falling from the heavens, it was so powerful he got slammed down back to the ground that leaving a huge crater.
Spewing out a mouth full of blood as he slammed down the Chief quickly casted handed incantations around his body emitting a light faint glow around him, then raising his two hands up a white translucent barrier was covering him from head to toe.
“Wind Body Enchantments!”
“Rank 7 Wind Barrier!”
Slowly standing him he braced himself for the next event, while slowly gathering spiritual energy in his two fists as it emitted a white aura.
“Who dares trespass at my area!” A voice boomed from the skies like a god of calamity creating a huge wind current blowing anything small backwards in great speed.
The Chief stood like a strong boulder facing raging storm, with a calm face not looking one bit scared as he stared where the sound was coming from. Twirling his fingers casting an incantation around his neck he also shouted with a thundering voice. “Forest Lord! I mean no harm to you and your great forest, I would only like a small request for my clan to travel to the end of the forest to look for something!”
The wave of spiritual energy mixed with green qi suddenly increased in a huge amount like a tidal wave blowing everything around where the Chief was, but the Chief also emitted his own spiritual energy and a white glow of qi as he stabilized himself. Looking from a far you can’t tell the difference from a divine being as you looked at the Chief.
“You dare command me!” The waves continue to grow stronger and stronger, even small rocks started to lightly float up in the air.
This amount of spiritual energy, it can’t be… but it has to be with this amount the forest lord is an emperor Magi! The Chief was shocked he never thought a forest lord would be able to reach such a level, now he felt a little hesitant to move forward.
Pondering for a minute as he continued to stand against the waves of spiritual energy and qi like an immovable mountain, a trace of killing intent started to emit from the air.
“You want to challenge me boy!” A nauseous killing intent was added to the mix of spiritual energy and qi causing anyone to faint or even explode from the inside if you’re hit by this wave of energy.
The Chief ignoring the waves continued to emit of killing intent, then a red light glow flashed around his body, changing the color of his pupils to the color of deep red blood and fangs sprouted from his teeth. The white spiritual energy he emitted grew brighter producing a huge of amount of wind behind shooting back at the forest lord’s spiritual energy causing a stale mate at the center.
“Forest Lord I mean no harm but if you force your hand so will I!” The Chief looked like a raging god with red blood glowing eyes as his two fangs twinkle with white light, all around his body emitted a white glow with raging sharp winds cutting everything apart around, leaving wind blade scars.
“Ha ha today you will di-..” The wave of energy suddenly halted and disappeared.
Confused, the Chief raised his eyebrow staring at the center of the forest wondering what was going to happen.
“This Spiritual energy is very familiar, what clan are you from?” The loud voice of the Forest lord was changed into a child’s voice with no force behind it at all but with only curiosity.
Scratching his head the Chief, waved his hand and his spiritual energy and enchantments disappeared along with his red eyes and fangs. “Forest Lord I’m the Chief of the Blood Moon Clan.”
“A descendant of the Blood moon Clan!” The voice of the forest lord was like a small child being surprised with a gift.
At the same time now miles away from the forest, a wave of blue of energy was emitted in the air causing space to split apart. As the wave of blue energy grew stronger it circulated turning into a dark blue ball, growing a little bit bigger each second.
Few moments past by as it was big enough for a person to fit through, a sudden black colored mist floated from the inside the dark blue ball, the mist continued to spew out as it floated in the air emitting a deadly feeling. Than it twirled and twisted forming a shape of human.
As the wave of black mist continued to form a human shape a quiet voice was suddenly whispered, causing the temperature to drop as frost formed around the area.
“I finally found you Blood Moon Clan.”
