We’ve been on the move for a while now, and we’ve found a pretty large Flying Island, currently we’re having Scouts well, scout it out. We actually found other islands on our Journey, the small ones are surprisingly common, but the Big ones like this guy are pretty rare. Anyways, once we’re certain it’s safe, we’ll have Steriya teleport everyone up, Calvin and Celscy offered to use up their Mana Reserves for this, since it’s pretty Mana expensive.
I’ve also been developing a new Skill, it’s Thread Creation, I can whip around Thread now, tie things together, snake it through different objects, all kinds of things. The best part though, is that I can use it for Combat Purposes, I can whip around super sharp wires to cut different objects, or spin it around them, then constrict it and amputate different things. I used it on a Tree to completely cut a Tree in half. Aside from that, I can also surround myself with a defensive wall of String. Sari’s also shown me tons of Elements to make my String out of, so they’re really tough now.
So yeah, Super Versatile String Powers, they’re pretty nifty.
The Scouts should be returning soon, then the Guides and Leaders can decide what we’re doing with it.
After about an hour, Steriya teleports in front of me. “Hey, Demi, everyone’s finished, the Island’s basically empty. Well, aside from some ruins we found, but those are empty too.” Steriya looks to the side, as she informs me of what’s happening.
Demi - “Shouldn’t you be telling the Guides, and or Leaders this?”
Steriya stares at me blankly for a moment. “Oh, yeah I guess… Everyone just views you as the de facto Leader, I guess.” I see… Of course they still do, I was the one who came to them with an actual plan…
Demi - “Just because I’m the one who came to you guys with a Plan, doesn’t mean I’m the one who saved you from Arigold, you guys would have found your own way out anyways.”
We stare at each other, as Steriya thinks to herself. “Well I mean.. Yeah, but still, you haven’t steered us wrong yet, so I don’t see any reason to not follow you.” I guess she has a point, maybe I’m a better Leader than I thought. But still...
Demi - “I guess really, what I’m saying is, I want to go on fun Adventures, I don’t want to be someone important just yet.”
Steriya nods in attention as we discuss my leaderliness. “Ah, of course. That makes sense. Well, you don’t need to worry about that, we can still make decisions on our own. So don’t worry.” That’s a good point, they’re Children, but they’re fully aware of their ability to make their own decisions… Honestly, they’re all surprisingly Mature, they really get it when they make a decision, they’re fully aware of what they want… Maybe there’s more to them than I thought.
Demi - “Ah, of course, that’s right, I guess I’ll be your Leader for a little while longer.”
Steriya looks away, at a bunch of the Children who are discussing amongst each other. “I think it would be best I had gotten going, see ya’ in a bit, Demi.” And with that, Steriya has already left before I could reply.. See ya’.
I hear a loud bang ring out, a~nd yep, it’s veyta once more, she’s training with Tenztore- Oh damn, he just kicked with his massive Bird Leg, she’s been sent flying! Sadly however, she falls into my new Bowl, I pressurize my surface into more of a Solid, and she lands on it. I feel my body mold around her as she lands on the soft surface of my Water… And we’re good! I was worried she would break through my surface and fall into my Pond, then get torn apart by my Jet Spikes. Let’s connect to her.
Demi - “Hi Veyta… How’s your day been?”
Veyta looks down at me, as she stumbles to her feet, trying to stand on my surface. “Oh, it’s been nice- AH-” She says, as she falls flat on her back, struggling to get a proper footing on my surface. “You’re so slippery Demi-” She exclaims as she starts kicking and swatting at my surface and the air. Everyone’s staring at her like she’s failing to Freestyle Breakdance.
Demi - “Alright- Alright- Calm down, you gotta’ stop kicking, I’ll get you out-”
I say, as she begins to calm down. “Okay then…” She says, as she relaxes against my soft surface. I use my strength to lift her up, and back onto the ground.
Demi - “Alright, now you get back to training or whatever.”
Veyta looks back at me, and jumps right back onto my rehardened surface. Everyone is surprised by this. “You’re like a Waterbed Demi!” She says, as she rests against my surface.
Demi - “I am NOT a place to sleep!”
I exclaim as I release my surface, and she falls into my pool. She looks around, and swims to the top, I make sure none of my Water is absorbed, as she floats on my surface. She looks around again, and touches her hair. “Oh, it’s dry- AH!” I blast her out of my body with a Water Cannon. She’s sent flying, and lands on her Legs. “Hey guys, I’m just as dry as when I got in!” She exclaims happily. Everyone looks at me, and one of them places their hand in.
Demi - “Of course you are, I can stop my water from being absorbed. If I couldn’t, my Water Jets would tear you apart.”
The kid pulls his arm away instantly, and looks at me a little scared. Right, he was one of the kids from A-Side, so he saw what it did to Veloura. “What’s that?” Veyta says, as she tries to jump back in, but I blast her away again, and connect to everyone here.
Demi - “Whenever a bit of my essence escapes from the collective, my body freaks out and attacks everything in sight. And would you quit that?!”
I exclaim to her, as she finally quits. “But Demi~...” She begins to beg, as I toss a bit of my Body past her, and a Water Jet catches it and returns it to the collective. She slightly dodges in surprise.
Demi - “Stop trying to climb onto my Body, or you could run the risk of that, it takes energy to keep myself at the consistency you know.”
She just stares at me, and jumps in again. “Come on, you’re way bigger now! You can at least hold me for a little while-” I used to be only a little larger than a Hand, barely a cup of Water. Now I’m the size of a Small Pond!
Demi - “I’m not that big! I’m barely bigger than an elephant!”
Okay, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m talking about Surface Area, and like, the amount of water it would take to fill up that space! It doesn’t take much!! I’m not that big!!!
I wave my body around in anger, as Veyta begins giggling. “Come on Demi, that tickles!” Everyone continues to stare at the fun Veyta is having, ignoring the fact that I’m being harassed!
I finally give up after about 10 minutes of this… Veyta’s barely exhausted, but I can tell she’s nowhere near ready to give up…
Demi - “Alright, I give up this is my fate, as the water bed of my one eyed sister…”
My body molds around Veyta’s as she crosses her legs and places her hands behind her head. “Aw… Don’t worry, I’ll just come rest here every now and then.” Everyone has already lost interest in what’s happening, so now Veyta’s just lying on me…
“So, how about your Day, Demi?” She says, as she tortures my helpless being...
Demi - “It WAS going well, until you decided I was a great place to lie down…”
-Excessive silly cursing beyond this point, if you don't like that just look for a similar message to this-
Veyta drops the smile, and looks at me. “Alright, come on Demi, you don’t do anything all day, what difference does this make?” OHHOHO, that’s how you want to play it sister?!
Demi - “You fookin’ wot m8?! You wanna’ try me ya’ daft shit?! I’ll whoop yer’ damn ass, I will! You wanna’ fookin’ judge me you trite shit?! I’m workin’ on me damn skills, ‘cause I’m barely fookin’ useful ya’ right bitch!-”
Veyta stares into the sky, and her expression falters as I rattle off curses and insults-
Demi - “-So don’t you fookin’ start with me ya’ one eyed asshat! Y'all wanna’ fight?! I’ll tear ya’ a brand spankin’ new one ya’ flighty fuck! I’ll drown ya’ alive, ya’ shittin’ twat!-”
Veyta rolls onto her side, and just stares at me, still rattling off insults.
Demi - “-I’ll rip yer’ fookin’ arms off, reattach them, then I’ll break’em ‘cause FUCK YOU!”
-Cursing ends here, please feel free to continue reading from here-
Veyta stares at me worriedly, as I telepathically transmit verbal abuse. “Hey, you okay there, Demi?” Wuh- Oh. I end the stream of insults. “What were those Accents? How the hell do you rattle off curses and insults in seamless succession like that?!”
Demi - “I just… I just do that when I’m agitated. Okay? I was just a little angry…”
“It’s okay, I get it, if you let me lie down on you whenever I want, I’ll forgive you~...” She says, as I feel my nonexistent blood, nonexistent-ly boil.
Demi - “FINE.”
I begrudgingly say… I guess she’s kind of right, I usually just sit here and not do much… Besides, it’s nice to have someone with me- Where the hell is Glant?
Demi - “Where’s Glant?”
“Oh, he’s off training some of the others to use Magic, they saw his amazing power, and were really impressed, now they’re begging him to teach them.”
Demi - “But what they don’t get, is that he doesn’t understand it anymore than they do…”
“Yeah, it sucks.” She says, as she lies back down. “He tried to tell them otherwise, but they wouldn’t listen. So I guess he’s gonna’ try and improve anywhere he can help them with.” While we were discussing one of the many, many, MANY, downsides of Glant’s powers, Steriya decided to walk over.
“We’re moving up to The Island now, we’re also planning on returning to Genesis Haven so we can get our stuff, we left a ton of things we really want back. Like my different parts, I really want those back…” Steriya says plainly, staring at us. “And why are you lying down on Demi like that?” Veyta sits up, and responds. “Oh, her surface is like a Water Bed, it’s mega comfortable!” She says, as Steriya closes her eyes in disappointment. “I sadly have no sense of Touch or Comfort, so that means nothing to me.” Veyta shrugs, as Steriya places her hand on my surface. We teleport to the Island, and I’m in a new area they’ve dug out.
Demi - “Do you plan to guide this Island all the way to Genesis Haven? What if there’s still people there?”
Steriya responds instantly. “We’ve thought about that, multiple of us can turn invisible, so we shouldn’t have to worry about any surviving staff, or any Soldiers that are checking the facility, in case we got Homesick.” I see… They should have it covered then.
Demi - “Then yeah, I guess you have it covered, I just hope they won’t be expecting any Invisibility Powers.”
Steriya thinks to herself for a moment. “Yes… That’s a good point, we’ll be sure to take measures against that, and for the hell of it, measures against measures that have been setup for our own Measures.”
Demi - “That’s a lot of measuring.”
Steriya and Veyta giggle a little at that. Success! “Nice one. Anyways, I’ll get going now, see ya’ guys. Oh, and Veloura has been making some edits, she told me to tell you to be ready for a widespread rewrite for the Job Titles.” She waves us goodbye, as she walks into a teleport.
Demi - “I see, I’m gonna’ need a ton of Mana for that… I was originally working on Mana Regeneration because my Body consumes both my Mana and my Energy, and Greater Mana Regeneration would have equaled me out, so I won’t die from Energy Loss… I guess… There really isn’t any limit to how high I can get my Mana Regen… So I guess the next stage would be-”
“Super Mana Regen!” Veyta shouts, surprising me. Did I just say all of that in Telepathy?
Demi - “You were listening?”
Veyta just looks at me, giggling as she rolls onto her front. “Of course I was, you did just say all of it to me.” Oh, so that’s how it is, I’ve already gotten to the point where I can use it without trying.
Demi - “Yeah, I guess I did... You should probably get going, I need to work on Super Mana Regeneration, and I want to focus on it.”
I compress My Body into a more rough and flat surface, and Veyta jumps off of me. “Fine…” She begrudgingly says, as she walks away, looking at the Floating Island we’re now sitting on.
I guess I should look around too. In my immediate awareness, there’s mostly just trees, I can see the ruins they were talking about. There’s a few Animals, and a ton of room for possible Farms, so we shouldn’t have to worry about food. There’s some Mountains, we’ll probably be carving them out for housing, we can’t be expected to sleep outside. There’s also some lakes and ponds, so we have enough Water. Yeah, there’s not really that much up here, I guess it’s hard to get up here in the first place… Wait, what happened to the ruins?... What happened to its people?!-
NOPE! Got something to do! I don’t have time to think of that right now… Let’s get started. I’m gonna’ need Food, and a TON of it. I guess my best option would be to search the area for the most common and huntable animal, I don’t want to be the reason my family gets extended…
Anyways, I’ve looked around, the most common and apex predator is this Small Boar, it’s not particularly strong, a Big Fish in a Small Pond really… They’re really just eating everything they can find. Yeah, I think I’m free to eat them, they’re more harmful to this place than they aren’t anyways.
I compress my body, and jump into the air, landing right on top of the Boar! I keep my body together, while the Boar squirms inside of it. I begin crushing the live Boar, and I can see it’s body begin to bruise and break under the pressure. One snap after the other, I watch the boar’s body compress and crack into a smaller and smaller orb. This guy probably only uses his Speed and Strength stats, so they’re his best, assuming from the amount of pressure he was trying to push back against me with… I’d say about 2,000 in Strength, either he’s as old as I am, or these guys just don’t get very strong. Anyways, I’ve already consumed him, and I mega compress my Mana, searching for better ways to compress it, for a Super Mana Storage… I need more food for this.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
I look around, and there’s more Boars, they’re terrified of my Power, my unbelievably powerful POWER. Wahahaha! You are nothing to me Tiny Boars! Your prayers for God have been answered, and you have awoken the Blood God Demitallis! Muahahahahahaha!
I consume Boar after Boar, the snap of their bones fuels my bloodwrath as I dilute my watery body with their Blood, slowly turning me into a Crimson Pond Kid. I jump into the Air once more, and land on another Boar.
“Oh, Demi-? WUH-” Sari says, as I look over at her. “D-Demi, is that you?!” She continues, as I start crawling over to her, mangling the Boar all the while.
Demi - “The Blood God has been summoned… They call me Noraxis Baam The Blood God, and I have taken over you sister Demitallis!”
Sari slowly nods, as she backs up.
Demi - “And I’m a HUNGRY God, Sari…”
Sari’s eyes widen with fear, and she falls on her butt, holding up her back with her right arm, while helplessly defending her front with her left.
Demi - “The Blood God desires Virgin Blood, Sarianprosia! You will be my next sacrifice! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
I use my Voice Modification Skill to deepen and mangle my voice, so I really sound like a Generic Blood God. “Sari doesn’t want to be eaten!” Sari runs away screaming, the chase is on! Sari and me run around the Forest, she’s still faster than me, so I don’t have to slow down, I can fling myself at full speed!
After a few minutes of this, Sari runs over to Zoltin and stands behind him. Zoltin and Sari have recently gotten to the level 1K Mark, so they’re both at a pretty low level, and still small.
Demi - “Noraxis Baam desires virgin blood, thank you Sarianprosia, you will be made into my Personal Acolyte! Muahahaha!”
Zoltin stares at Sari with disbelief. “Don’t worry Zoltin, I’ll never forget you!” She cries out, and he can’t believe what he’s hearing. “S-Sari, what are you talking about?!” The poor Metal Draconian screams at his crying sister! “I love you Zoltin!” She pushes Zoltin towards me, and runs off.
Demi - “Just kidding.”
Zoltin was about to cry, but then calms down, as my voice returns to its usual tone. “Wuh-What?” He quietly says, as he begins to stand up.
Demi - “It’s just me, Demi, I’m just screwin’’ with her because I was bored!”
“O-Oh… Okay then… So that’s not Blood?...” Oh right, the Blood…
Demi - “Nope, it’s Boar Blood. You wanna’ join in the game?”
He looks at me with fear and disgust, but then nods. “Y-Yeah, it sounds fun!” He says excitedly, as I tell him his new Role.
A little while of searching, we find Sari once again, and Zoltin lands in front of her, folding his wings once again.
He doesn’t really use his wings much, since he’s a Metal Dragon Demi-Human, or Draconian if you will, but they’re still very much usable. Sometimes you can even see him digging at the floor in his sleep.
“I was consumed by the Blood God Sari, and I am now one of their Demons! You will be sacrificed next!” He shouts, as she runs away once more. Sadly… Zoltin isn’t any faster than Sari than I am, so she can outrun him too. After a while she runs into Tenztore. Tenztore looms over the tiny girl, as she looks straight up. “T-Tenztore! You’re strong, you have to save me!” Tenztore opens his wings, and picks Sari up. “You got it! Where’s the threat?!” I appear before him, my Crimson Form glistening with a scent of murder. “What the-”
Demi - “It is I, Noraxis Baam the Blood God! I will destroy you all!”
Tenztore bounds backwards, and places Sari on the ground again! “Is that Demitallis?! What happened to Zoltin?!” Sari responds quickly! “I don’t know! Demitallis has been possessed by some sort of Blood God, I’ll go get more of our Siblings, you hold them off!” Tenztore nods, as Sari runs away. The Bird Boy equips his weapons, and assumes a defensive stance.
Demi - “Just kidding!”
Tenztore’s eyes widen, and he relaxes slightly. “Demi?” He says, as Zoltin fully relaxes, and sighs. “Thank god, I was worried we’d have to try and break through Tenztore or something…” He says, as he relaxes his arms. “Is this some sort of Game?” Tenztore says, as he walks over calmly.
Demi - “Yep. I was originally just training my Mana Regen, I’ve upgraded it quite a bit, and I felt like I deserve a break.”
“I see, I’m not really interested in joining in, you guys have fun.” He says, as he starts walking away.
Demi - “Nah, I’m actually tired too, I think I’m also done playing.”
Zoltin agrees and walks away, deciding to return to what he was doing. Tenztore looks back over at me. “Right, I’ll catch up to her and tell her the Game’s over then, see ya’.” He unfolds his wings and flies off.
Demi - “Thanks Tenztore!”
I say right before he exits my range. I gave Sari a real scare, so she might be unhappy… Or she realized I wasn’t actually taken over by a Blood God and was just playing along, she wouldn’t have just thrown Zoltin into danger like that. That makes more sense.
Anyways, I’ve had my fun, it’s time to get back to work.
After about another Hour of Boar Murder, I finally have them, Super Mana Regen, and Super Mana Storage. I can feel my energy growing… Now I just need to Mana Stockpiling, but how would I achieve that- Wait… I shift my body to it’s Mana Form. I can feel it, I’m a Mana Pond Kid, I can stockpile my Mana like this! Now for the Equilibrium! Enchanted Water! I create Enchanted Water, each bit of it can store Mana, it takes a ton of Mana to do this, but now my body can store a 100 times its original amount, sadly, I have to fill it myself.
I don’t have nearly enough Mana to store it though…
Welp, time to return to eating! I consume Boars until I’m completely maxed out. Since I can flow my Mana into the Water, I can access it’s storage. I wonder if Steriya could do something like this too... Let’s move on.
This should be enough Storage for what I need, and I can re-energize my Body by resting. I now have something that is beyond even my old body.
I return to my nest, and I notice that the Children have already started construction on a Base, and there’s Steriya, they’re already home too! Sari’s there too, but she seems preoccupied.
Let’s connect to Steriya.
Demi - “Hey, did everything go well?”
Steriya is surprised for a moment, but looks over at me quickly. “Oh, Demi, yeah, there was nobody there, I guess they didn’t think we had anything to return for.”
Demi - “I see, that’s good… But there really wasn’t anyone else?”
Steriya walks over, and sits next to my Pond. “Well, there were a few of the old employees, but we snuck past them without too much trouble.” I wonder how some of those people would have felt to see us all safe and okay. Oh well...
Demi - “Well, I just finished super enhancing my Mana Regen and Storage, I actually made this Enchanted Water that can store the Mana, I was thinking you could enchant different parts of your own Body.”
Steriya’s eyes widened with realization of all the cool stuff she could do. “Demi, that is the best idea you have ever had! I’ll go get Glant right now-” Her eyes widen even more. “Demi, I just had an even better idea!” She stares into my pond with pure excitement!
Demi - “What did you come up with?”
“I could make my parts Mechanical, and enchant the smaller pieces!” Oh. My. God. Steriya’s gonna’ become an epic Robot Warrior!
Demi - “That is the single most amazing thing I’ve ever heard of, we HAVE to find out how to do that!”
We scream in delight as everyone begins to stare. Veyta walks over, and jumps back onto my Body. I compress myself, and Veyta just lies down on me. “Yay, the Water Bed has returned! Why are you glowing?” She says, as I connect to her.
Demi - “Oh. It’s enchanted water, I can now store way more Mana, even more than even Glant, since each bit of my body is enchanted. Had to eat like, half of the Boars on this place to do that though, so we might be running out of those.”
Veyta looks around. “Oh, yeah, I noticed they had begun to get frantic, I was actually hanging out with Calbdin, he said they were called: ‘Boarboras’ They actually have the ability to duplicate themselves after they’ve eaten enough, and are quite beefy, they’re very commonly found in farms. The ones you were most likely eating are Wild Boarboras which are known to be a bit hardier, and not taste as well as Farm grown ones.” Oh. That’s… That’s nice.
Demi - “That’s nice, I’m glad you’re such an expert on these things…”
Veyta at the sky, as I notice Tenztore and Sari arrive. “Oh, nah, this is all from Calbdin, that’s like, the only stuff I know about them haha.” Veyta stares back at Sari and Tenztore, as they stare back at us. “Wait, you can do that-” Sari says, as she holds her hands up.
Veyta moves over, and invites Sari to sit next to her. At first I was only capable of holding 1 person on my surface, but now I’m level 400 and I'm about 3 times bigger...
Demi - “Wha- I only agreed to Veyta!”
Sari climbs on anyways, and presses her hand against my Surface. “Ah- It’s cold! But so smooth!” Veyta pulls her over, and they rest on my surface.
Demi - “The hell did I just say?!”
Veyta rolls over, and looks at me again. “You’re like, 3 times larger than you were earlier, come on…” She says, trying to alter the deal… Sari is just on her back, resting.
Demi - “This is not cool...”
I say, as they refuse to budge. Tenztore has already left, I guess he lost interest again. “Sari is sleepy…” Sari says, as she falls asleep next to Veyta. “G’night Sari.” Veyta closes her eyes too, but I can see that she’s wide awake. “I’m still here too, you know…” Steriya says, catching me and Veyta’s attention. “Oh yeah.”
Demi - “Sorry about that Steriya, I was preoccupied with Veyta and Sari… And now Sari’s fallen asleep… DAMMIT ALL!”
Steriya stares at Sari. “Sarianprosia…” She says, thinking to herself.. “You should just let her sleep, Demi…” Steriya stares at her with some sort of understanding…
Demi - “Well, if you say so… I guess I won’t try to wake her up.”
Veytatasm sits up, and slowly makes her way out of my Pond.
Demi - “Oh, you’re leaving, Veyta?”
“Yeah, I don’t want to wake up Sari.. I also want to go train some more, see ya’.” She says calmly, as she walks away waving her hand. “I think it’s about time I got going too, see ya’ Demi.” Steriya says, planning to leave me alone with this Kid…
Demi - “... See ya’ Steriya.”
She teleports away, and now it’s just me and a sleeping Sari. Great… Now I gotta’ keep the Compression Skill up.
I can keep the Compression Skill up for you, if you like.
Right, thanks Fear, I appreciate it.
It ain't no thang.
Good job on Super Mana Regeneration, you should work on adding Energy Magic to your Elemental Magic, so you can turn the Mana directly into Stamina.
Right, that would be useful, I’ll get started on it.
Turning Mana directly into Energy… Mana is an element of Nature that is found and controlled by all living things, if you understand every facet of it, you can make it. If you know the Chemical makeup of Acid, you can make that too. If you know how Light works, then well, you already know. So a Scientist would be extremely powerful here, with their hundreds of Elemental Skills, and intrinsic knowledge of how to exploit this system… I don’t think I deserve this. I might have been turned into a Living Pond, but I was given a new Family, and a whole new Magical World for me to explore. Let’s move on.
Energy Magic, Energy is an active driving force, I can’t even imagine what the universe would be like without it. If it has action, it has Energy. This is gonna’ take a while…
Alright, I’m finished, Sari is STILL sleeping on my surface, but I made Energy Magic. I even found a way to energize myself with it. How I made it though… That’s not really something you can just explain, sorry…
I could probably develop Heat and Cold Magic, or: Thermal Magic with this, specifically if I could find out how to manipulate the Heat of different Objects. Thermal Energy is the energy of Atoms bouncing off of each other at intense speed. So if I just put Energy into the Atoms within my Mana Zone, they will heat up. I decided to extend my Mana Zone around one of my Siblings, and heat up the air around them. Luckily, I don’t have to make my Mana Zone into an Orb, it can be a Cube, Triangle… Really just any shape I want. Anyways, I heat up the air around them, and it takes about 2 minutes for them to notice the difference and move away. Alright, so I can definitely heat up the Air Particles. Now to cool it off, I need to somehow steal it. Since it’s still in my Mana Zone, maybe I can use Magic to affect the existing Energy, instead of just creating it. I’ve never really thought of it that way though. I lock onto the Atoms, and I pull the energy from them, I can feel my own body growing in energy and heating up. I’m not at my Boiling Point, but I’m definitely warmer. Let’s see if I can turn it into Mana… Done. It’s weird, but not particularly complicated. Let’s move on. I can freeze anything in my Mana Zone, and then burn it again. Now I have Thermal Magic. Neat.
While I was working on my Thermal Magic, Veloura walked up. “Hey, Demi, I finished the new Job Listings. Can you help?” I connect to Veloura.
Demi - “Right, just send me the new set, and I’ll connect to everyone.”
Veloura uses my Telepathy to send me the information. Let’s see now…
Jobs:
Hunters: Trackers, Slayers, Supporters, Gatherers.
Light Bearers: Guides, Scouts, Leaders.
Warriors: Soldiers, Guardians, Watchers, Medic.
Resource Processors: Chefs, Distributors, Managers, Courriers, Farmers.
Entertainers: Authors, Musicians, Comedians, Performers, Informants.
Scientists: Inventors, Blacksmiths, Doctors, Professors, Mechanics.
Specialists.
Demi - “Well then, I better get started.”
I say to Veloura, as I extend my Mana Zone to the whole island, and connect to all of my Siblings. Once I’m connected, I send everyone the information.
-One Week Later-
It’s been about a week now, everyone’s been working really hard, we’ve been working on a Castle and tons of housing, they’ve also been using their power to move our Island around. We’ve made Farms and have been farming those Boarboras, so everyone has food now. A ton of the Children have been taking up the Entertainment and Scientist Roles, and sometimes I even see my Siblings practicing, or studying anything they can find and make. They’ve even used Magic and Technology to create a continuous source of Clean Energy.
It really is impressive what they managed to do within just a week. Anyways, we’re on our way to The Home of Innovation: ‘Neotopia.’ It’s where Genesis Haven got all of its technology, I wouldn’t even be here without it. We’re already almost there too, and plan to anchor near the borders-
“Hello.”
The voice I heard was completely undetected, it’s no child’s voice, it’s a Woman’s. Right behind me stood a 5’4 beautiful Woman. Her skin is snow white, and she’s wearing a blue and white Dress Suit. The top half looks normal, but the bottom half is like a mess of Streamers that swirl around her legs, so it looks like a Dress that’s been cut up, but still covers everything.
Her hair is black and nicely decorated with blue sleeks and a Gorgeous bright Flower made of multiple shades of Blue and White. I could have sworn she had wings, but they’re gone. The most interesting part of her though, is her glowing blue eyes. They’re not shiny, but actually glowing.
“Hello, you are Demitallis-Genesis from Genesis Haven, are you now?” She says, as she leans forward, closing her eyes.
How did she- I’m trying to connect to her with Telepathy, but I can’t detect any thoughts.
“Please respond in any way you can find.” I guess she’s not aware of my Telepathy Skill? I push some of my Water up. “So you ARE Demitallis. I was starting to think you were another regular Pond.” Wait, has she been doing this to every Pond on the- “My Name is Demistar, it’s nice to meet you. Don’t worry, I know you have no voice, just call over one of your Siblings for translation.” Oh, good idea.
After a hot minute, Steriya teleports over here. “Uh…” Steriya stares at the smiling woman. “You must be Steriya, my name is Demistar, it’s very nice to meet you.” Demistar holds out her hand to shake Steriya’s. Steriya takes it and they shake hands. “You were brought here to translate what Demitallis here has to say.”
Demi - “Yeah… For some reason, I can’t connect to her.”
Steriya looks at me, then back at Demistar. “Okay… Let’s get started then…” And with that, we begin. “I am Demistar of Neotopia, I have personally arrived on your unnamed island to inform you that you have arrived within the Territory of Neotopia.” She says with an unnerving smile.
Demi - “Right… Tell her that we were on our way, we wanted to improve on our Technology.”
Steriya translates instantly. “Uh.. We- We uh- We were on our way to Neotopia to expand on our Knowledge and Technology.” Demistar nods with her hand on her chin. “Alright, that seems alright. As long as you don’t threaten Neotopia…” She says, as she walks away. A bright blue light grows behind her back, and her Wings return. “I’ll be seeing you at the entrance then! Please bring anyone you like!” Her wings spread, and she flies away.
Demi - “Well.. That just happened.”
“Yes. Yes it did. I guess I’ll go ask whoever wants to join…” Steriya teleports away, and I’m alone again. Okay so what the fuck was that?! I didn’t even know she was there until she appeared behind me… Well, I guess I’ll just wait on Steriya...
End of Chapter: 14 “The Next Genesis, how far we’ve come!”
