"And that's how Gorm kept the elementals in check while I figured out how to kill Nefar, thankfully his strongest elementals weren't very smart or I wouldn't have managed this. Now I plan on taking Gorm with us as a citizen of our new village, if you have issues with that say them now and if not then lets loot this place completely and leave." I finish explaining as Gulag nods his head and turns to the task of looting the room while Yo stands there staring at me warily.
"Noor, I respect what you've managed here and I have no issue with a fledgling necro but many of the people living in our community will show fear and hate towards someone who practices death magic, especially considering many of our enemies are using those same magics to cause suffering within the swamps. We won't mention this again but when he wakes up I suggest you tell him to figure out how to hide his magic until you leave the swamplands. It'll be safer that way." Yo explains roughly before turning and heading through the doors to the stairway.
Watching the zorbo leave I release a sigh of relief before turning back to the sleeping ghoul and the room full of random loot we've earned for ourselves. Walking past Gorm's sleeping form a spend a second to stare at the ethereal form of Nefar, his lanky body standing stock still and looking blankly at the wall. Walking up to the specter I snap my fingers in front of its face and nod as it dosen't react, its eyes maintaining a blank stare at the wall it was facing after being summoned. Sticking my fingers into the creatures chest I frown as my fingers pass through its body with no resistance except a lingering chill flowing over my digits before I pull them out and notice a strange glowing foam. Inspecting it I'm mildly curious as I add it to my inventory and begin going through the room of loot to see what treasures the meazel had stolen.
(Spectral Ectoplasm- Rare Alchemy Ingredient)
The physical remnants of a powerful spectral enemy, useful in crafting potions having to do with both stealth and effecting the other side.
Looking through most the loot I notice much of it is just basic resources such as pretty shells, random seeds and fruits, and bones. But I pause as I find a small white chest that looks out of place among the trash/ The chest looks like a jewelry box made of an ivory white wood and filigreed with swirling golden engraved vines and flowers. A silver lock is latched on the front with a key still inserted into it, the lock clicking gently as I turn the key and open the chest to find a silken padded interior with a rainbow hued lily resting inside, the flower glowing with enchantment as I smile excitedly as I pull up the skill I gained from Nefar.
{Summon Specialized Elemental}
Summon a specialized elemental familiar by sacrificing an equal resource from your own world. Example if a common pebble is sacrificed then a common pebble elemental will be brought forth to serve. But if a Magma gem is used its possible to gain a named magma elemental which is of much higher quality. This ability may only be used once per level of Elemental Summoning! Error! Skill not found in users skills! Skill may only be used once!
Nodding at the description I inspect the lily and smile in surprise before using the skill on the strange treasure.

{Deified Lily of Life- Legendary Herbalism/Alchemy/Weapon craft/Armor craft/Ritual craft Ingredient}
A Rare flower only able to grow in an area that's been blessed by a divine being, using this flower in recipes allows the resulting item to hold divine power and become an item spoken about in legends. It's said that in the past a wandering swordsman found such a flower at the brink of death and upon consuming it he became well once again. This man went forth and became known as one of the worlds most famous swordsmen, his abilities growing more quickly than ever before until the day came that he left this world and joined the gods as Fen the God of Swordsmen.
As I focus the skill on the flower within the chest I notice a soft glow begin to eat away at the stem of the lily, the glow slowly moving upwards until it finally engulfs the flower before releasing a blinding flash of light before fading away to reveal a small creature within the chest. The being resembles a small woman wearing a rainbow lily as a dress, her upper body covered by a vest resembling leaves as her pink skin contrasts with her sky blue hair. as she makes a grumbling sound her legs stretch beneath her and I notice her toes resemble a humans but with small thorns of wood running down their length. Watching the small woman I take a step back as she opens her eyes and they glow a soft emerald green while her small pointed nose snorts in the swamp air and she frowns. Small pointed canines peek through her lips before she looks around before focusing on me and releasing a happy smile and sigh. Inspecting the creature I'm stunned at the success of the skill and wonder what else I can get in the future with such skills as the small elemental pulls her legs underneath her and bows her head towards me as she sits up.
(Alexandria Yggdrasil Dryad Level 1 Mythical Elemental)
This is a newborn elemental created by sacrificing a priceless natural artifact, by a creature of a unique class using a once in a life time skill. A Yggdrasil Dryad is a being born very rarely, when the world tree grows and requires a new warden for to care for its branches. These creatures usually never leave the elemental planes but rarely something pulls them into our world where they create both chaos and majesty until leaving. Yggdrasil Dryads are experts in healing and nature magic as well as purification and light magic. They prefer to remain pacifistic but when forced into combat they know neither pity or mercy in their defense of themselves or their wards. As this is a newborn dryad her abilities and skills are basic but depending on how she is nurtured she will gain astounding abilities in the future.
"My master, thank you for sacrificing such a precious gift to bring me to life. Although I may be inexperienced I bind myself to you and vow to raise your names to the heavens while defending you with my life." Says the dryad as she raises her head and smiles gently at me. As she finishes speaking I feel a blinding pain in my chest as I look down and notice a small tattoo of a tree coated in lilies now above my heart, the skin pink and tender as I read a prompt in surprise before a moan of pain comes from behind me.
(Congratulations! You've bound yourself to a mythic elemental and they to you! By doing this to a creature of such power and rarity you have been gifted the ability of Yggdrasil's Regrowth!)
{Yggdrasil's Regrowth- By binding yourself to a creation of the world tree itself you gain an insignificant portion of its power. Your body no longer ages, and you heal at a significantly faster rate. Poisons no longer effect your body and your blood can be used in alchemy to create a variety of potions and elixirs. In exchange you will take more damage from fire attacks and those from the lower planes will be able to sense your presence.}
"Master?" Alexandria asks curiosly as I turn to her and notice a fascinated Gorm staring at the small dryad with hunger.
