《The Egotistical Mana Spirit》Transition Down to the Coast
Advertisement
Nobrow arrived at the west end of the Warm Coast.
He could already tell the difference in the air and wind.
Even though he was up high on hills still far away from the coast, he could smell the ocean breeze as it rose uphill.
Ever since he left the gang of Monkey bandits there was more and more vegetation sprouting up in the scenery. It was not just a breath of fresh air but a sight for sore eyes. Green tree's began to dot the horizon and the sounds of the ecosystem grew louder and louder. There was more chirping and squeaking, more touching of the leaf that is left to the wind's mercy, and the slim back headed noise of a stream nearby.
The terrain was still steep and rocky but at least now Nobrow could see the direction he was heading and what layed further afar. Unlike before when he travelled the Great Steppe, there was no knowing when the sea of plateaued terrain would end. Yet now he could see plains of grass and sandy hills far down below the cliff's edges.
Then he entered a small forest once he was of lower altitude. Only now instead of the noises of the animals, a group of Feasel's dominated the ear's of Nobrow.
"It must be a hunt" thought Nobrow. Even though seeing the supposed group of slender furry men yonder away hunting game, he had enough travelers experience and knowledge. Nobrow knew he was a special being, but even if that special status was taken away, he like many of his kin have a talent for retaining complex thought. Nobrow specifically was an adventurer and traveler, a writer and a poet! Oh how silly it would be for him to not guess the correct answer right away! The best part was... it was skill. His knowledge was true and unquestionable, and like the building of numbers (called mathematics) there was the right answer and Nobrow knew it.

While most of the Feasel race tends to live far north or in some alpine like woodland in places such as Issil, it isn't uncommon to spot a group of Feasel men down south in cities and such. If there was any race that carried an adventuring spirit it would be the Feasel men because they are naturally bold and curious fellows, but sadly their society itself is sedentary. This always bugged Nobrow, it irritated how backwards their society was and how hypocritical it was! Even though Nobrow himself wasn't in any better spotlight for his arrogance, it is true that the Feasel men are a odd bunch of indecisive fools.
So as Nobrow travelled downward the lightly forested hills he eventually met the Feasels. Thankfully they weren't a barbaric type but instead civilized diplomats! To much of Nobrow's surprise, apparently a small Feasel merchant state exists on the west coast of Issil. It must have been new and it was because Nobrow for sure was in issil not several years before. After a chit chat along the pathway downwards, it seemed that the group of Feasel emissaries were going to a kingdom not far and it seemed that Nobrow would end up joining the group, for fun of course.

The Stars Have Eyes
The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place. Then life happened, and the universe was changed forever. Only a teeny-tiny bit, but definitely different. Then again, the universe changes a teeny-tiny bit every second of every day. For instance, if someone were to get off the couch and randomly drink a glass of milk? Bam! One less glass of milk in the universe. Changed forever. Well, excluding any time-travel shenanigans, but anyone who puts a big old hole in the time-space continuum just to un-drink a glass of milk should really reevaluate their priorities. Unless, of course, they were attempting to prevent some massive catastrophe vis-a-vis said glass of milk. Such a scenario is by no means impossible, as one should never underestimate the importance of calcium. Another important tip for any life forms out there is to keep things in perspective. Some look at the vastness of creation in relation to themselves and go, ‘Man, this sucks!’ These people really need to narrow their focus. Sure, they will never affect anything happening on the other end of the galaxy, but so what? That’s way the heck over there, where it doesn’t matter. Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy mindset, it is important to narrow one’s perspective to the things and people that affect them, and that they can affect in turn. But what happens if one is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality? What happens when such an existence is capable of influencing entire swathes of the universe just by its presence? A creature such as Magh'rathlak the Observer? That particular entity is only about average as far as reality-warping creatures from the dawn of time go, so its influence over the fabric of reality is rather limited. And it still struggles to keep things in perspective. That, among other things, is why it decided to narrow its worldview a bit by compressing the maddening vastness of its being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all, how hard could being human possibly be?

The Other - a (man) called Ted
A figure, large and present through time in ways most would not understand. Seemingly uncaring about all except his own principles, the one we refer to as the Other (for legitimate reasons, lest some accidentally call upon his old name), finds his way through life. Though refusing to claim the title himself, this (immortal)'s projects have begun to leave him behind, awaiting some accident to move him back into the world. - - - - - - Initially intended to be a novella, then a project to keep me sane in busy times IRL, this will be considered the roughest of drafts. Also, IRL may prevent me from regular updates after the backlog is done. Tags with a grain of salt, items may be mentioned briefly in story so far, or in chapters already written but not published. Content warnings just in case. Some perspective switching in the first several chapters. Legitimately though, in the first chapters an explanation is provided for referencing to the MC as 'the Other.'
