I'm so confuse, when I try to recall my last memory, I was in my home. There was a very violent storm going on and my lights was flashing none stop until I collapse. When I woke up, I was in a middle of a forest. Currently in a spot that has no trees and has plenty of flowers growing but forget about that. In front of me was two of my statuettes of my collection glowing.
(What's going on? Why are they glowing like that?) I was looking at them, then something very weird happened. They start to grow! Actually only one did. Isabelle, my black wing angel statuette which was about a foot tall keep getting bigger and bigger.
(Did I just saw her blink? No, wait. She's moving! Huh?! I must be dreaming! Something this crazy can't be happening.) I'm staring at her with a blank expression and couldn't look away.
(I need to calm down!) I closed my eyes and shook my head left and right a few time. I opened my eyes after waiting a few second then I saw a fairy in front of me. She was not a statuette anymore, a real living being!? She's about a foot tall, wearing a green dress that is made of materials that you would find in nature. She has emerald eyes, blonde hair with the tip green. I looked at her with mix feeling but my curiosity got stronger as I was staring at her.
She’s flying in front of me, flapping her pretty wings then she point at me and turn her hand facing the sky. I tilt my head wondering what she want and realized afterward what she want me to do. I lift my arm and twist my hand to face it upward. She fly towards me and sit on the edge of my hand with her legs hanging in the air then look at me.
“Cute” I said in low voice. She blush a little bit and looked away for a time then return to me. I lift a corner of my lips at her reaction and shift to look at her wings. Her wings is beautiful, you can see through it a little bit and it's sparkling too.
As I was thinking about to lift my other hand to touch it, I felt something tapping my shoulder. I got startled and turned to see to get startled yet again. In front of me was a very beautiful woman with long silky gray hair, light gray eyes and a beautiful face that would put to shame any models. She's wearing a long dress that goes down her feet. Her dress has a degrading gray color to it, it starts dark on the top and it end with a lighter gray toward the bottom. It also open up on the top revealing her cleavage. She appear to be about 5 foot 8 inches tall if i compare her to me which is 6 foot tall and a slim body but not too small either
“Master?” She said while tilting her head.
“Are you.. are you calling me master?”
“Yes. You are my owner.”
I stare at her speechless from what I have heard. That line feels really weird now that she's a living. I noticed her black wings behind her.
“Are you Isabelle?”
“Yes, that’s how you have been calling me ever since you got me”
“Wait, weren’t you a statuette? How is that even possible?”
“Indeed, at that time I couldn't move or talk to you master but now I can. I can finally talk to you.” she start to cry at that moment.
The fairy flew off my hand and landed on Isabelle’s shoulder placing her hand on Isabelle’s cheek.
“Please don’t cry.” I said while I wipe her tears off her face.
She got stiff for a moment before relaxing. Her face got a little red and she grab my hand as I was letting her cheek go.
“Can I ask something master?”
“urg, Before you ask, can I ask you to not call me master. My name is Bastien Lemaître. Call me Bastien.”
“If that is your wish, hmm about what I want to ask, I hm, would it be okay if I ask to hug you?”
“ah..” Surprise by her I couldn't answer her. I got embarrassed a little bit.
“sure.”
she revealed a happy expression and shyly got closer to me. I wrapped one of my hand around her waist and my other hold the back of her head. She in turn warp not only her arms but her wings around me.
“After so long, I finally can hug you”
well she seem happy. I pat her head a bit. I notice the fairy flying around, looking at us with a smile. I blush a bit and wait for Isabelle to start separating from me. I look at her face, she’s in tears again.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“you’re still crying.” I said while I’m smiling. I hold her cheeks and wipe her tears.
“I can’t help it, many years has pass before I could talk and touch mas.. Bastien.”
I let a smile with a weird feeling. I turn to the fairy.“you should be the fairy I bought recently, I haven’t given you a name yet.” I lift my hand toward her to let her sit on it. After she did so, she looked at me with anticipation to know what her name will be.
“I thought of a name but previously, I couldn't know if my statuette liked the name I gave them. Do you like the name Lilah?
“Lilah? Lilah!” she look delight, she seems to be happy with it too, it seems it wasn’t a mistake.
“How about you Isabelle? Do you like your name?”
“Yes! I like it a lot.”
“I’m glad you like it.” She said with a lovely smile. It seems that my naming sense is good, hopefully the rest of the girls like theirs too.
"Now, where are we?" I asked while we start looking around us. There wasn't much nearby, the trees are pretty tall so we couldn't see if there was any montagne and there was some rock too.
"I don't think we are near our home or on the same world for that matter, unless you could use magic where we came from." Isabelle said as she turned toward me.
"What do you mean magic? Can you use it?" I asked surprise
"I can't explain why but I always had knowledge about two type of magic, dark and illusion magic. Although I only know the first tier, I have the feeling that if I get stronger, I can get higher tier magic. I also have spear mastery, though I only have limited techniques available to me"
"Really? Back on earth, magic was only in games, novels and such. Can you use it so we can confirm that it does in fact exist?"
"Sure, which one you would like to see mast.. Bastien, dark magic or illusion magic?"
"It seems you have trouble dropping the way you call me, well whatever just call me however you like. I want to see both of them. Start with the illusion magic."
"Understood. [Disguise]" She said then close her eyes. After a few seconds, her wings slowly disappear until they wasn't there anymore.
"This is the best I can do for illusion as I am right now. I only made my wings disappear but I can also change my look. It can only affect me and it will work as long as I feeding the spell with magic power. However, the spell will broken if touched."
"interesting." I lift my hand toward her back. The moment my hand land on one of her wings, the spell broke like shattering glasses revealing her black wings. Her cheek goes red and she does a step backward and look away. I curl the corner of my lips upward as I watch her.
"I'm guessing your dark magic is more offensive oriented?"
"y-yes, at least the one I know is. It's called [Bolt of pain], it’s a projectile that does two effect, once it hit something or someone, it detonate causing some damage and amplify the pain that the body receives."
"It sounds pretty useful. Does it make the body vulnerable to damage too or it just make the pain feel more painful?"
"I.. don't know. From what I understood from the description, it would only make the pain more painful but I guess it could be possible." She placed her hand on her chin and appeared to be in her thoughts before looking at me again.
"Well, it's a good spell even if it does not have that kind of ability." I looked around to find something that could be use as target. "Can you cast it on that tree over there?" I pointed at a tree to show which one I was talking about.
"Ye.." Isabelle was about to lift her arm to cast the spell when she was interrupted by Lilah.
"Don't!" Lilah place herself in front of Isabelle to prevent her from firing toward the tree. "They haven't done anything to you! Don't attack it!"
I look at her surprise, I wasn't expecting her to be angry. Isabelle and I glance at each other and look back at Lilah. Then I realized something. "Lilah, are you able to communicate with the trees by any chance?"
"yes, I can also use nature magic." She says as she is staring at me with little bit of anger in her eyes
(that explain her reaction. When I got her back on earth, I took her because she looked like she could be using Nature power but it seems that she actually does. I wonder if my other fairies have all their own power too. Well for now, let's forget about testing Isabelle's spell.)
"I apologize, I didn't mean to attack the trees."
"As long as you understand."
I signal her to come to me and lift my hand to have her sit on my hand then ask. "What can you do with your magic?"
"I have two spells, the first one is call [Nature's snare], it allow me to immobilize my target by infusing magic power into grass or tree roots. I can also control and expand them at will. The second one is [Nature's gift], it can be cast to either me or someone near me and it improve the target's body strength, defense and natural regeneration."
"Those are pretty good spells, especially that we are in a forest. Otherwise I would be great if I could learn how to use magic or if you could share your power with me." Suddenly, I felt light headed and almost fell, my brain was assaulted by some sort of energy.
"what's going on? Ooh, what?" At that moment, a lot of information was transmitted into my brain. It contain how to use all the previous magic Lilah and Isabelle talked about, how to use magic power and how to absorb it from around yourself.
""Master?"" Both exclaimed out of worry. At that moment they sensed something. The moment Bastien could control the magic power inside himself, they found themselves link to him.
"I'm good, it seems that I have the ability to have your knowledge share with me, now I can use both of your magics. I can also feel your presence without looking at you somehow as if we are link. Actually I don't sense just you two, I can feel a lot of presences but most are very fast from here. Is it my statuettes? How many it is..."
As she heard that, Isabelle held her breath. Could it be her sisters? How many are here? Are they alright?
"including you two, I can sense 25 presences, so everyone got transfer into this world, unfortunately we are almost all separated. Unlike you two, I can barely feel them. It might be because they are still statuettes?"
"Then we have to get to them fast!" Isabelle said with a worried written all over her face. I walk to her and hold shoulder.
"lets calm down first, we don't know where we are. We can't just rush toward their general direction and hope for the best. We will save them, you have my word." I said to her with a gentle smite. She calm down a little bit then nod.
"We need to learn what is around us. Given that you two aren't human, that would probably means that they are other races beside human on this world. We don't know on whose territory we are on right now nor if they are hostile or not. We need to get stronger. It's great that you learn new spells just by getting stronger, that means that we don't need to rely on having a teacher or books to have acquire better spells though it would still probably help, we don't actually know if you know all dark or illusion magic spells. I'm wondering if we can actually make our own spell, but that’s something we will spend time on later."
""Yes."" Both agreed and nod to my explication
"It would be best to find some wildlife somewhere around, something that wouldn't to hard to fight. We need to experience some battle, that way we can test our spells and get use to casting it properly. Unfortunately the only Isabelle's spear techniques won't be useful as we don’t have one with us. Lilah, can you ask the trees to help us?"
"I'm going to ask them" she flew toward the trees, Isabelle and I follow after her. We will experience our first hunt.
