《I am a tree》Really
Advertisement
Currently I'm confronting a tree spirit that's speaking inside of my mind saying it's the tree from my previous life I planted that somehow got here calling me master, it arrived on the 18th day after I became a tree and started to glow white and evolve when I got continously struck by lightning... Hahaha... Putting that aside I start interrogating the voice.
◄If you are the tree from my past life, how did you get here?►
[I'm bonded to your soul, it took me a long time to reach this place though.]
◄Why are you bonded to my soul?►
[A electric current connected us whilst I was still a sapling.]
Let's see... Uh... Oh, that's right! I can vaguely remember getting electrocuted one day, the promise I made that day was never forgotten. Now, the next question I thought of on spot is one I really want to know.
◄Were the other trees conscious like you on Earth?►
[No, I became conscious when I entered this plane.]
Thank goodness, it would be scary to think that trees that get chopped down every day were aware of it. I wasn't an enviromentalist so I didn't really care, but I was really curious about it. Okay, now I'll do a serious question.
◄How do you know about me when you've just gained a conscious?►
[Alternatively to myself being bonded to your soul, I have already had the memories, I just wasn't using it before.]
◄So... are we both the spirit of the same tree now?►
[No, I am the spirit of the tree, you are the ghost haunting it.]
So I am a ghost?! I seriously thought I wa-
[Just kidding, you aren't a ghost, you're the actual tree.]
I was played... I'll settle the score eventually.
◄So, is there any difference between those two?►
[Yes, I as the spirit borrow power from you, the tree under the condition you become my master. As the tree, you can let me borrow your power or use it yourself.]
◄What power?►
Yes, what power indeed. I have tried using all the super powers of a tree before and it didn't work. I hope I'm not a defective tree. The voice pauses at my question for a while then answers the question.
[... You gather magic within your body, it increases as you grow bigger. You are currently using magic to make this land fertile are you not? As such, you can also use several other kinds of magic. The reason why a spirit would be paired up with a tree like you is because of the vast amount magic you hold.]

I was about to question the voice on how I could use magic, but then I realize that it knows way too much for just getting here.
◄You... how do you know about magic?►
[It was added to my knowledge once I arrived here.]
Oh, it's a simple as that. Hmm, the voice got knowledge unlike me... I came here too world, don't be so unfair. Well, whatever, now I have a source of information to help me. Time to start firing off my questions again.
◄Can you tell me how to use magic?►
[Do you know nothing? Sigh, Whatever, you can use magic by changing it's properties... let me guess, you don't know about magic either.]
◄...Yeah...►
The voice was calm and almost robotic at first, but it seems a little annoyed right now. I'm sorry, I can't help it if I know nothing, I don't want to stay quiet when there's magic! My goal of becoming an abnormally large tree was just one thing, but after that I had nothing else to do; magic is going to entertain me good. The voice had continued its explanation so I attempt to do my best to remember the contents.
[Magic is naturally stored inside of your body, just thinking about the magic stored will tell you how much you have. The same is with using the magic, all you have to do is think of the what you want to do with it. If you think something like "make fire there" then it would be made at the spot you wanted, of course the limit is within your domain- Your domain is the land you have made fertile with magic, the further you increase it, the more magic it takes to manage it.]
The voice explained magic to me, I thought it would be some sort of 'feel the magic in your body' sort of thing, but if I think more in depth, I can't feel anything. When the voice mentioned the 'just think of it' magic, I instantly thought of making fire, luckily it didn't appear. Once it said the limit was my domain, I was about ask about, but before I got the chance to it immediately started explaining what my domain was. Seems like the voice almost forgot I had no idea what it was talking about.
◄I see, let's try it out.►

I sent the voice that message and went towards the side of the hill. Going in a straight line without stopping, my vision make a sudden stop, looking down I see the same scene I saw the day I first went here. Going down the hill, the lush grass gradually disappeared, first I'm going to increase my domain! I thought about what the voice meant when it said just think to do it, it probably meant think really hard to do it, details you know. I concentrate on make the domain bigger from the center because I like it nice and even. A few moments after trying different methods of thinking, I saw grass growing rapidly on the barren parts of the hill. The space the grass grew was one inch from my previous domain, in other words, I increased it by a inch in diameter. The voice spoke when it supposedly saw that.
[Really, only that much?]
◄I don't need anymore, I only wanted to test it.►
The voice was now no longer the cold robot it was at first, it's just... different now. Anyways, I try to shift my view into my new domain and it worked. Now, time to try the thing I'm really excited about, I concentrate on my magic one way or another. It felt... no I knew that I could create and shoot thousands of fire balls without even using a tenth of the magic I had stored within me. Continuing with that, I concentrate on making a fire ball a few feet away from my view. Poof, it came into existence, a ball of orange flames were infront of me. Yes! I feel so much younger now... although I'm literally 18 days old here but that doesn't matter. I go to the next step and the fire ball shoots off beyond my domain, nice, it seems I can only make magic inside it but the magic can be sent outside.
I probably couldn't use magic before because I didn't think of using 'magic'. I was only thinking of pyrokinesis, telekinesis, super strength, invisibility, and many other kinds of powers. If you noticed, I tried many sorts of power... The voice who I haven't heard while I was rejoicing over the magic spoke to me again.
[Now that you're caught up, shall we make a contract... Although I was bonded to your soul, there was no mutual agreement so this is what the contract is for. The procedures to form the contract is by having you grant me a name.]
The voice made a pause at first, maybe because it was thinking what I would ask, it got it right. Even though I had just met with the spirit of my past tree, I was going to make the contract anyways because it gets lonely not being able to talk to someone. Thinking of a name for a while, it clicked in my mind and I conveyed it...
◄Your name will be Thor►
[What?! That's cra-]
◄Just kidding, it's going to be Barbra.►
I did make the promise to settle the score earlier, the thing that clicked in my head was that, I just picked out a random nice sounding name. I wouldn't want to give someone a bad name on purpose. The voice spoke once again with a hint of annoyance.
[Very well... I accept the name Barbra...]
With that, a small sphere of light appeared before my eyes. Something that looked like wings suddenly sprouted out from it. Slowly following it, the tiny form of a curled up human figure appeared. Slowly straightening it's body, the light it emitted faded away revealing a fairy... It had long straight light purple hair with purple eyes, the skin was a light tan color, two translucent wings that was also purple extended from it's back, and luckily it was also wearing clothes... that were purple. The clothes were blouse covering down to it's ankles.
◄Is that you Barbra?►
I decide to use it's new name immediately. Once I said that, the fairy looked at me and spoke without moving its mouth.
[Who else do you think it is?]
There I made a contract with a tree spirit that became a fairy obsessed with purple. Did I say I could also use magic now too? I don't think I have, let me tell...

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
