I talked with Willow today. She’s gotten over her fears. She doesn’t freeze up and she doesn’t have sudden panic attacks anymore. She has fully adapted to this life.
She has also gotten much better at controlling lighting, which is one of the two things she’s been focusing on. When she saw how I was able to mimic voices with my plants she decided to try and replicate it with lighting. It was honestly pretty impressive, she managed to make a static version of my voice with just some lightning flowing between her fingers.
The other thing she’s been focusing on is reading the book our Origin left for her. It’s a big book, and she’s managed to put some of the knowledge she’s gained from it to practical use. Apparently, she learned something about sound having to do with the way air moves and applied that to her lightning.
She’s planning on going on the next dungeon dive as a full member of the team, either that or forming her own team with Par and the Ents. From what she said the four of them would make a pretty good team if a bit overspecialized in offensive magic. Willow can do more damage in a single spell than any other mage I know, though she lacks the versatility and endurance of Mest and the Ents, and she lacks the experience of Mest. The Ents are incredibly talented Mages with deep mana pools and a lot of versatility, from the way Willow was explaining it they make for great support mages with their healing and crowd control. While Par makes for a good dexterity tank, a term she learned from Tiddol which basically means someone that gets everything to attack him and survives by not getting hit.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
It’s nice seeing the young sprite come into her own. And it’s adorable to hear her talk about Tiddol and Mest as mama and papa respectively.
Another thing that happened today is a Greater Kobold evolved. It was born a Greater Kobold and had lived all its life with Par’s village, which makes it really impressive as it is way too young for an evolution under normal circumstances, but I guess all the evolutions around here recently really helped it out. The Greater Kobold evolved into a Dragonewt Saint, with Saint apparently being a variant on the base of Dragonewt.
The reason he evolved was because he managed to heal another Greater Kobold to perfect health from near death. From what I heard the Greater Kobold had multiple missing limbs, basically liquified internal organs, and many other injuries I won’t mention. The reason the injured creature wasn’t brought to me was due in part because he couldn’t be moved without risking death, though whether or not they were a second class citizen was rather vague.
The young Dragonewt Saint was brought to me in mid-afternoon and I managed to talk to them for a while. Apparently, the one he saved was someone he is hoping to make his mate. I asked him to demonstrate his healing abilities and to my surprise he is half as powerful at healing as I am when I am wearing my White Foot armor, an impressive feat for a draconic, which aren’t known for their magical ability.
As a gift to the young healer I asked Par to do two things, the first was have one of his Village make a copy of the book on healing I own and gift the copy to him, the second was to make his potential lover a full citizen regardless of her current social status. The young Dragonewt was almost crying after that one, apparently, she was a slave from a tribe that tried to attack a hunting party, it obviously didn’t end well.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
