i found tiny fragments of energy that didn't match my own, if began to turn it into a ball of energy [That amount of energy isn't enough to make meaningful contact with the gods, user could replicate it by sacrificing his own energy, but there are risks such as taking all of your mana] I thought for a second while still peering into the system I then left it and realized just how tired I was, I almost passed out but I managed to get to the bed to sleep, I couldn't tell if Rei was already asleep or not.
The Next Day
I got up and I still felt extremely sore, I rubbed my neck and I looked around the room, to see that there was a bunch of stuff out I then looked over and saw that Rei was still asleep, I guess she might've tried to help me while I tried to make contact, I cleaned up and packed up everything and then woke up Rei and said "Hey its time to go" I said it in a softer voice since I figured she had tried to help me, she looked up at me and said "OK ill be up in a minute, can you stand outside for a minute" I nodded and was about to walk out when she said "So how did it go" I shook my head "Its going to be awhile before I can remake contact" she looked sympathetic and I left and stood outside while she changed, after a few minutes of waiting she walked out and she had different cloths, they looked more fit for adventuring "Nice outfit" she nodded and seemed pleased I had noticed her change in cloths we then walked to the east gate and exited, we slowly notest how it got hotter and hotter, until eventually I said fuck it and removed my shirt since it was drenched in sweat, I noticed that Rei was looking at me, I looked back at her and her face went red "Are you Ok" I asked genuinely concerned, she nodded "I'm fine" I sighed and continued to walk ocastionaly looking at the map it had to see how close or far we were from the objectives and well we were getting close to where the Dune Root was meant to grow and well somehow there was giant trees in the dessert which to me didn't make sense "Hey Rei do you think that the Dune Root is from those trees?" she nodded her face still red "Are you sure your ok?" I once again asked her and she once again nodded so I continued onwards to the giant trees [compiling Data] the system was going crazy with collecting data recently, and I don't know if its because of the upgrade or not since it refused to answer that question, I personally think that the system is creating its own personality but I didn't really have proof of it other then its responses, I saw the sand blowing away and then just like that the ground seemed to open up and I fell in, and I fell for a few seconds before landing in water [the Dune Roots needed should be close by] I looked up and Rei was looking down and she said "Are you ok, scream once If your ok" i looked up at her and just said "Nows not the time for jokes, come on we are close to some of the Dune Roots" she jumped down and landed in a pile of sand

once she cleaned herself off we continued further into the cave, we eventually got the the farthest in tunnel and i said "I cant see anything can you Rei?" she said "Yes i can see perfectly fine, if you want i can lead the way into the cave" i simply moved behind where i thought she was and she said "Grab onto my arm so you don't get lost or stray away from me" i tried finding her hand but i was grabbing the wall which Rei was chuckling at "ill just grab your arm then" i felt her warm hand touch my forearm and then i grabbed onto her hand and she led me further in.
