《I am a tree》Gift
Advertisement
Around a week has passed and it's the 26th day since I've come here. The first thing I did was removing Barbra's magic privileges. I had given her less than a percent of my magic she could use every day, and when something dangerous happened, she could use five percent of my magic. The reason for that was because it's bothersome to be asked to borrow magic repeatedly. Barbra had twisted enough of my words so I had to remove her privileges even though I knew she would probably do it again; I had to make her know wouldn't let her take it to far.
During the week, a new Stanford from the tribe of elves... no, Stanford from the saplings had started to increase their faith towards me while making them not to reliant. It has already been set into motion; I would oddly feel guilty for stopping it. I don't really care about what happens unless things become violent, I actually like the peaceful atmosphere even though it's a cult. Of course, when I increase my domain after I grow big enough, others may settle in and it might turn into a religion. What's the difference between the two? The former is in the simplest form is a religion with a few people; the latter has a lot of people. My guess on why it's this way is because the large group is more dangerous, of course I'm going to make sure this one is entirely peaceful.
I've grown to around 55 feet with a number of leaves I don't bother to count anymore. The branches however were easier and I counted three of them not counting the branches that extend from them... yes, I am still a far cry away from being mature. Leaving it at that, the elves did their daily routines which were again revised. They would sleep until sunrise, when they woke up, Stanford would send them to do various work like: Cleaning up fruit that fell from the trees, maintenance on the houses, check the lakes reinforcement, etc.

Once noon came, they would gather around me again, but this time they were further away and made a semi-circle. Stanford would repeatedly talk about me and why they should follow my greatness. This part only happened on the first few days until he made a song...
"The divi~~ne tree is our savior!"
""The savior!""
They didn't instantly get used to singing, but they gradually had their voices become one. Stanford would stand in front of them in the center and sing, the rest would sing words to accompany him. I don't think there was this type of concept in this world so I interrogated Barbra who was the most suspicious. She had sneaked out when I wasn't looking and descended upon Stanford and told him to compose songs to unify the followers. I wondered about why she knew of this when she couldn't see my memories and was a tree that couldn't move...
[There were people who sang after master died... so I just thought it would be good...]
Barbra hesitated because I removed her magic privileges and wanted it back soon, she was probably thinking she was in trouble. More like... I don't remember anyone to sing for me when I died, if it was some sort of religion, I didn't belong to one. Was it m- no, I shouldn't think of them anymore. I am no longer the man I was in my past life, that man is dead, I should live my new life without being chained to the past. I will remember the memories and feelings I had, but I won't let it interfere with what I'm going to do. With that, I tell Barbra that she wasn't in any trouble. I actually like listening to the songs, but if only there were music too.
Anyways, back to the topic. After they had their ceremony for around an hour, the elves went back to work. At sunset, they would finish up their business like last time, but afterwards, before they went into their houses, the elves gave one last bow to me. The week passed with this happening daily with only a few minor differences.

Four days later, a huge shadow raced across me. Another meteor was about to strike me when KLANG, it hit against smooth transparent wall. The meteor had strangely lost all of its momentum and slid down the the transparent wall instead of breaking apart. The situation I was in was a meteor shower... except the scale was much larger as in the meteors were the size of a van and hundreds of them fell down onto the barrier I created with magic. The barrier cancelled the momentum so it didn't break apart when it hit; the meteors could have good material that wouldn't be found here. I had luckily noticed the first meteor above me while it was still far away, but it only took a minute for the meteor to reach me.
After the first meteor fell, I stared at it while keeping the barrier up in case of a spontaneous explosion when I heard the barrier was hit again. When I looked up, I saw several other meteors falling down so I waited it out. The elves were watching the spectacle with a sense of calm, they had panicked at first when the barrier made a loud sound, but calmed when they realized I was protecting them. Going back to the present, I had drained 10% of my magic, it might sound like I drained to much, but around the hill in a circle were the hundreds of meteors that fell.
This had been going on for a hour, not all the meteors hit, however they generally fell around me, some of them even crushed the meteors I caught. Though I felt no immediate danger, this was becoming annoying. The meteors ignored my thoughts and continued for around half an hour longer as the shower gradually lessened. Finally, all the meteors fell down. That really took too long time. I look back up to the sky, good, no more incoming. I'll keep the barrier up above me just in case though...
◄Barbra, request the elves to bring the meteors onto my domain.►
[Master, are they not still hot?]
◄...One moment.►
I shift my view towards the first group of meteors and create water. The lake the elves discovered was apparently something naturally formed within my domain; I could of course change it or add them myself. I shoot out the water towards the meteors; I didn't sprinkle evenly, but madly fired waves of water towards the meteors. I couldn't encase them in water because it was outside my domain...
Increasing my domain, the meteors were all inside of it now. I created a ring of water that encased all the meteors, the water was constantly cooled down and replenished by me. When I had finished cooling down the meteors, I let go of my control of the water. The water fell onto the ground and was soaked into the ground. When I was going closer to investigate the meteors, Creak, I saw many things sprouted from the ground. Looking closer, there were all types of shapes, but I was sure of one thing, they were plants...
