《The Sudden Rise of the Magic Continent》Chapter 2: Terra's Visit and Magic
Advertisement
Soon after leading Aki out of the room. Everyone can hear a loud rumbling in the distance, and what seems to be a large moving statue made of dirt and stone is taking long but strides towards the forest. As soon as the large mass appeared in view of everyone in the forest, they all came out and bowed in front of where it was going to stop.
"Is that Terra?" I said after I got to my knees, following everyone else's example
"Yes, Aki, there is no creature similar to Terra like this other than his followers. Even the elementals of Terra's domain are drastically different," Alberic replies to my question.
"Then how are the elementals different? How is Terra different?" I ask again, still confused, but soon after I asked that a loud voice answered me.
"My elementals are still life and blood; they are covered in armour created by the earth. I myself am made of earth and a crystal of life that my creator bestowed upon me."
"Terra? You talk?" I ask in disbelief
"Yes, blessed child. All of you may rise." As soon as he said that, everyone stood, so I did the same, still following everyone's example.
"Blessed child, May I ask your name?" Terra asked, looking straight at me with those dark crystal eyes of his.
"Oh, my name is Aki" Terra looked deep in thought when I said that... Or at least I think he did because he paused for a second.
"I see. Should you need any aid come to me, but I'm afraid I can't do anything for your memories."
"My memories? How did you know I couldn't remember much?"
"You will know in time. Just know it's related to your blessed kin." Terra looked away after he answered me and then looked at Alberic.

"Now for the reason I came here as I can't stay for long. The shore will be dangerous for a while as the humans have learned of Gloranela. A few days ago, humans attempted to learn more about it with their metallic flying creatures. Please do your best not to come to the shore as my creator had warned me of this before she left. Now please excuse me as I warn the others of the region. You all are not the only ones here." When he said that, Terra started walking away without waiting for a response.
It took a while for Alberic to move as he was still slightly shocked from having Terra talk to him personally, and then he started guiding everyone back into the forest.
"Aki, wait here. I'll come back after everyone is settled," He said while leading everyone back.
What's this about... Shouldn't I be in the town as well? I think to myself as Alberic leaves.
A couple of minutes later, he returned and led me to a wooden log dug into the ground and standing upright.
"What's this?" I ask, staring at the strange sight
"You'll need to go find the other Orunians. This is what Terra was talking about your "blessed kin". The guardians call the Orunians "Blessed" as they have the capabilities of using all Magic Energy types even if it takes a while to learn it." Alberic then points at the wooden log. "This is so you can practice the feel of using magic, so you have the power to walk around without a group. After you learn that find a Monkeen to teach you hand to hand combat."
"Why do I need so much? Shouldn't it be safe? Everyone here is so nice, so wouldn't everyone else be as well?" I ask Alberic, getting slightly scared while wondering why I need to learn so much that means I'll have to fight

"This land isn't as peaceful as you believe. The only reason you haven't seen anything dangerous is that the separated clans of the Elves and Monkeen are protecting the forest's borders. We are safe because we are in the first village of the Elves."
"What is there outside of the village?"
"Mana amalgamations of the animals you see appear every once in a while. They are far more common in places where magic energy isn't stable, usually where not many people live. You will find a lot on your journey, and they are vicious and dangerous. You need to be prepared."
"I see... So what do I do then?"
"You're an Orunian, so you should have some starter abilities. Think about what you can do, and you should be able to feel your abilities and how to trigger them," Alberic says, and suddenly a strong wind surrounded him. "This ability is an example of doing so. It's called WindShield, Don't try touching it, though, because it will cut you up. Now try to use an ability" After saying that, he deactivated the ability and looked at me.
I tried focusing inside myself, hoping to feel my abilities, and my status screen appeared in front of me.
-Minor gust I: You can use the ability "Blow".
Use it?
Yes No
I see this and tap "Yes", and a slightly strong wind blew out from my fingertip for a few seconds.
"You did that far faster than I expected. Good job, Aki," Alberic said, praising me. "Doesn't seem strong enough for battle, but you can train that and find a way to make it useful."
"That was really cool!!" I yell in excitement, "I want to learn more!!"
"I can't teach you more than that because every race uses magic differently, and the Orunians are different amongst each other. You should try out many different ways of using the magic energy and abilities as you feel out what you believe is best, but one thing you can most certainly learn is how to use a weapon from the Monkeen."
"Let's go take you to them now."
