“Ah Chief..! Your mana! It looks like fire! But why is it green?”
Rick finally opened his eyes to see green flames covering his palm.
‘Oh, shoot I really do have green fire coming out of me!’
“Kida, I think this is something else that has to do with the fact I’m a Royal.”
“This is amazing Chief…even Maglins need some time to start incorporating elements with their mana, and even then I’ve never seen anyone use green fire. You should try using the other elements! Maybe they will look different for you as well!”
‘The other elements huh…Do you think I’ll be able to use other elements Velora?’
[Based on the notification shown, I do not think so, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.]
‘I agree…’
“Wait Kida, how do I use other elements?”
“Aren’t you already doing it with the fire Chief?”
“Um, well no this is a bit different. It’s kind of hard to explain.”
“Hmm, that’s odd. For me it’s as simple as sensing the different elements within the ambient mana and calling that element to my mana. Or at least that’s how it feels to me.”
“Oh...well I’ll give that a shot that then.”
‘Okay the fire is snuffed out, and no more mana is flowing…lets try to sense the other elements.’
….
…..
[It is now 1800.]
‘Yep as expected I can’t sense anything else. I think I’m restricted to just being able to use Goblin Fire, and I don’t even think its in the air, I think its coming straight from me.’
[That is a reasonable deduction.]
“Yeah Kida, I don’t believe I can use other elements. The Green Fire, is likely all I can do .”
“Ah I’m sorry Chief, but I’m sure if we keep trying, we can figure it out!”
“I appreciate your enthusiasm Kida! Let’s go check on the others for now.”
Once Kida and Rick made it outside, what they saw gave them both a slight shock.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
‘Velora what the hell? The space is so wide open now.’
[Yes, it seems Wala and Dran can work far faster than we realized.]
Just this morning the area in front of the cave only had a small area that lacked trees. That area was where Jaba usually trained the Goblins, but now that area had been expanded outward for quite some distance.
It was likely just around 45 feet of space in front of the cave prior, but now that number seemed to reach close to 120 feet of cleared open land. Even the stumps were uprooted, and the holes left behind filled with dirt.
‘We were barely gone an hour, how the hell did they manage all this, look at all of those logs stacked up over there, what are they even planning on doing?…Actually now that I think about it...where is everyone?’
[Perhaps Lagi will know, she has been calmly waiting behind you since you exited the cave.]
‘Ah, I got so distracted I almost missed her.’
[Almost?]
‘…’
“Hey Lagi, do you know where everyone went?”
“Yes…ever..y.one…wen..t..to..he..lp…ca..tch…rabb..its…for…fa..rm.”
“Rabbits for the farm? What farm???”
“Wa..la…an..d..Dr..an…built…a..fa..rm.”
‘Theres just no way they had enough time to clear all of these trees, build a farm, and organize some rabbit hunting!! How are they doing all of this?!’
[I agree, this type of productivity is more than my expectations.]
‘Wait, that kind of sounds like you were doubting Gang Green!’
[I am simply agreeing with you.]
‘Ahem..’
“So Lagi, do you know where this farm is?”
“No…wai..ted…he..re..for..yo..u.”
“I see…thank you for that Lagi.”
“Mhm!”
‘Well, what do I do now? Should I go try to find this farm? Or should I just wait here?’
[Waiting here would probably be the best course of action.]
‘Eh probably.’
“Uh Kida, I know I asked you to help me, but do you want to go hunt as well? Perhaps to test out your new abilities some more? Ah both you and Lagi could go together if you all would like. Just be sure to come back before it gets to dark…In fact I hope everyone comes back before it gets too dark…”
Kida and Lagi, both thanked Rick and went off into the forest, which was now a little bit more of a walk away from the cave after a good amount of the trees were cut down.
Well, Lagi needed a bit more urging that it was okay to go because she felt she needed to be there if Rick needed anything, but she left in the end. So, all that was left was a lone Goblin just standing there staring into the distance.
‘Well now its just me…Velora can you show me my status please?’
{Name - Rick}
{Age - 20}
{Race - Royal Goblin}
{Element – Goblin Fire}
{Tier 3)
{Essence - 0}
{Evo Points - 0/540}
{Skills}
{Velora}
‘Oh, it shows my element! Though I’m a bit surprised it didn’t say A Goblin’s Wrath instead of Goblin Fire.
‘I guess it was just there for selection. Now…I wonder how long it will take for everyone to get back.’
[You could use this time to train.]
‘You...actually…why not.’
And so, Rick began his training. Which was basically just a really high intensity workout. He did pushups, sit-ups, squats, crunches, and jumping jacks.
[It is no 1900.]
‘Ahh I’m tired…an hour long workout! Are you happy now Velora!”
[This is for your benefit.]
‘Yeah yeah whatever you say…but man, its dark outside and no one is back yet. I’m starting to get worried. Should I go look for everyone?’
[That might be a good idea.]
Though just as Rick was about to head out himself, he saw movement coming from the forest.
‘Is that Lagi?...Why is she running?’
[She doesn’t appear to be in any stress though.]
‘No...she doesn’t.’
Eventually Lagi made it to Rick and after taking a moment collect herself she began speaking.
“Ev..ery..one…at..fa..rm.”
“Everyone? Even Geedi?”
“Ye..s.”
‘Well would you look at that. Guess I’m going to the farm too.’
“Could you please lead me to the farm?”
“Mhm!”
[You could’ve run to meet her, instead of letting her run the whole way.]
‘I’m choosing peace.’
