《Rise of the shaman》The trial 1

Advertisement

As I had just fainted, I opened my eyes and what I saw astonished me. Indeed I was not in the real world but in my mind. As I began to visit my subconscious, I saw Werecat in the distance."What are you doing here ?

-I'm not here, this is just a fragment of my soul.

-A piece of your soul? Isn't it dangerous to separate your soul like that ?

-For other species if but not for me, we Werecat have the gift of manipulating the spiritual world.

-The spiritual world is the power of the Shaman.

-Yes and no. I was looking at him puzzled, let me explain the former shamans have the power to communicate with the spiritual world.

-What do you mean, they couldn't have lost him ?

-You don't know this, but the Urgals came from another continent, but they had to flee it for reasons that are still dark today.

And with this leak the writings that allowed the Urgals to communicate with the spiritual world were lost. Now they have less power over the spiritual world they need what they call totems to be able to use that power.

-Why are you telling me all this? -It's not like it's going to help me become a shaman.

-That's where you're wrong. I'm going to give you the right way to communicate with the spirit world.

-Really like that ? I said in amazement.

-Not the way it works, you're all going to have to take a test. So are you ready to take him ?

-Yes I am.

- But you could lose your life, are you sure you want to be a part of this?

-Yes.

-All right, the trial starts now." While he was saying this a chasm had opened under my feet and without even having time to say anything, I fell into the bowels of the world.

After a fall that lasted an eternity, I finally landed on my buttocks.

"He could have warned me and I don't even know what to do."

But we can also see th bright side, I got my eyesight back. Well, now I have to figure out what to do. So I started walking and I could notice something, the place where I was, was devastated and the earth was infertile. At that moment I had an enlightenment, the true Shamans were using the power of the spirits and the spiritual world and the spirits represent the elements so if I can summon a spirit it mean that I passed the test I think. I have nothing to do so let's try.

So I started my idea "Spirit are you here. It's not working, let's try something else. I summon you spirit.

I finally got some movement behind me. It was simple enough, but when I turned around, it wasn't spirits I saw. Shit, it's wolves. I started to run with all my strength and after a hard run I was able to lose them by hiding in a cave.

My mission was going to be more difficult than I expected but the harder something is, the greater the reward will be and I'm not going to abandon I the future heir of the ancient Shamans because of a simple wolf. Well my goal now is to find food fortunately I still have my sword on me. I waited an hour in my shelter to make sure the wolves were gone and headed for the exit.

But just before that I noticed that there was light in a small hole at the bottom of the cave. How could there be light in such a desolate place.

I was finally in front of the illuminated place when the image of the werecat appeared.

"If you're here, you've already found the cave. Well I'll explain everything to you, behind this wall is a universe that has not yet been eaten away by evil and your goal will be to protect it.

-What do you mean, by protect it ? I don't understand. Isn't it already safe ?

-No, because did you see those wolves ?

-Yes, they weren't like the wolves I know, how to say they were much more aggressive. -They have been contaminated by an evil force and your goal will be to stop the spread of this evil and if possible kill it.

-But how could I, I can't fight all those wolves.

-I'm going to give you the power of the spirits.

-What do you mean by transmit ?

-I will allow you to use them but as soon as you return to the real world you will have to communicate with them first if you dream of using them. Okay, follow me.

Suddendly a passage was formed in the rock and I followed it and once out of this small path what I saw will remain forever engraved in my memory. Waterfalls, grass as far as the eye can see, beautiful sunshine. It was the most beautiful and magical place I had ever unwittingly seen, I started to cry.

-What's up?

-No, it's nothing, I was just moved by the beauty of this place.

-So you can cry ?

-Of course. Why do you ask ?

-Nothing, it's just that you were alway acting like a much more mature person than a person your age would be, so I didn't think you'd be able to cry.

Okay, now follow me. I'm gonna have to ask you some questions. So I followed him without saying a word, soon we arrived under a tree trunk.

-Sit down, first, what's your favorite element ?

-Fire, I said without hesitation.

-Why's that ?

-Because I was stunned by the dragon's firepower.

-So you were swayed by a dragon, but I have to remind you of something. A shaman will be able to fully master only one element the other elements will be secondary only legendary Shamans have managed to fully master more than one element.

-I stand by my choice I would be a master of fire and soul because the Shamans also deal with the soul.

He then closed his hand and opened it with a small ball of fire inside.

-Absorb it and you will be able to control the fire but you will have only a minimal power because you will need practice to unleash its full potential.

So I took it in my hand and closed my eyes while the pores of my skin were absorbing the fireball. I felt like I had plunged my body into a volcano when I was about to faint, a voice made me lucid again.

-Concentrate, if you faint you'll have failed and you'll be dead, so resist.

My whole life passed before my eyes and it ended with the loss of my sight.

-No, I can't fail now, I still have a lot to accomplish.

With a determination that amazed me, I tore my tongue out to stay awake. I was now on fire and my tongue hurt terribly, but I had to resist and finally the fateful moment came.

Eventually my body started to swell up as if it was going to explode but I managed to suppress it. My body began to return to its normal shape and I felt overpowered so I opened my mouth and fire came out of it.

So I got up and used the Thum to ignite the surroundings. No, it's a troll.

-It's okay, you did it. You're ready to face them now."

So I got up and headed for the exit. Yes, I was ready to go exterminate the evil.
