《I am a tree》From where
Advertisement
I was still a distance away from the new plants that appeared, looking at the meteors then the plants... space plants? Once I was very close to the meteors, there were some shallow and large holes on them. Looking around, I found a small oval shape inside one of the deep holes. So they really were on the meteors... they survived the freezing temperatures of space and the burning of flames. Was this normal in this world? I haven't actually seen anything plant related burn, maybe I should test this with the other plants... my knowledge of plants seem lacking now.
I guess I'll organize this stuff first, I gather up some meteors and mold it with magic, there a large square container with three by three square holes was made. I could mold anything I wanted, but the cost of magic changed with material; though it didn't matter to me. I found five different types of seed in a hour, I excavated the seed by turning the meteors into smooth cubes while checking for different material then the seeds popped out. I use magic to make a transparent hand to carry the seeds so it wouldn't fall onto the ground and grow. The magic I'm using is basically the same as my barrier, it felt as a much more accomplished method. I don't know the principles to it, but I'll just use it if I can.
The collecting went on for five more hours when it became dark... I had finally changed all the meteors into cubes and the seeds were organized by appearance. I lost track of the amount of meteors after eight hundred. There were plenty fragments of meteors that didn't hit my barrier scattered. Gathering the fragments in my now increased domain was a tedious task. I had extended down the hill onto the wasteland to get the meteors, now it was around seven miles in diameter? I was never good with measurements, but it seems like it. The extended domain made me go through so much land... on the second hour I had Barbra help me out, I told her if she did really well, I would un-ground her sooner.

My view was on the seeds; I'm by myself since Barbra didn't have an interest in them and went back into the tree. The end result was 10 seeds! However, I didn't need to make a large change to my large seed container because there was only one type of a unique seed. So with that, I just made a small compartment on the side to hold the special seed. The seed was a golden color with some shine, but it was probably not gold... I thought it was gold shaped like a two inch seed, but when I tried to mold the seed, it didn't change. I can't mold any living thing even if they're dormant so the seed was real.
I'll move on to the golden seed later, but first I'll test the first seed I had gathered the most of, it was a red seed with a hint of green on the sides. I was sending my magic towards the seed, but then it started to suddenly shake, no all the seeds were shaking including the ones in the other departments. As if a strong gravity was pulling on them, the seeds broke through the wallls and gathered towards where my magic was. My magic was probably the catalyst as I had stopped using it a while ago, yet the seeds were bunched up in a sphere and floating. The last seed quickly made its way to the sphere of thousands of seeds. When that happened, I saw something with a golden light shining heading towards the sphere, the golden seed...
The golden seed was slowly moving without accelerating nor decelerating, when it got close to the sphere, a circular tunnel opened up for it and it entered. Once it went through, the hole closed, for a few seconds, nothing changed. That was only for a few seconds when the seeds begun to merge with each other, I was a good distance away but still saw it happen. The merged seeds then had a golden color spread from many regions of it while it continued to merge until the whole mass was a singular, gigantic... seed. The seed was around four feet thick and slowly gained a shine you could see a blurry reflection in. As if it was satisfied, the seed dropped down but then... I caught it. I brought it up closer to my vision so I could observe it better before it went ahead on got itself planted.

The seed seemed to have a will of its own as it rolled out of my hands then quickly touched the soil. I couldn't catch it again because it mysteriously accelerated to fast. The golden seed immediately upon touching the ground sunk into the dirt and was covered up. Well... I guess I'll see what it becomes... I could stop it from being planted in my domain, but it would become busted up and useless. I tried it on other seeds to make sure not just any seed could be planted into my domain without me being able to control it. Soon enough, the ground had started to shake and what looked like three giant vines twisted around each other then shot up. Did I perhaps get my hands on magic seeds without having to sell my cow?
The vines luckily stopped at 30 feet putting an end to my suspicions. It was something like a... bean stalk. Giant leaves hanged on the sides of the vines and one last golden leaf was at the top, sort of like a Christmas tree. Well... I'm a little surprised because it's more than half my current height. Looking back at my body, I could clearly see it growing slowly, maybe from the other seeds which didn't get merged. There were more planted seeds than collected seeds; it's probably because the water I used to cool the meteors down made seeds most likely stuck in the shallow holes slide off. This all meant that around the edges of my domain were maybe ten thousands of mysterious plants. While continuing my inner monologue, I heard a voice that wasn't Barbra's or the elves...
┤Are you the holder of this land?├
◄...Yes, and you are...?►
I hesitated a little in responding since I wondered if the same method I used with Barbra would work. I just went with it because it's better than doing nothing. The voice speaks once more...
┤Okay, provide me with water and your magic ever day.├
Uh, what is this voice saying... he didn't even answer my question. I'll try again.
◄Er, could I know what you are?►
┤Can you not see my greatness? I am the world stalk! Now quickly do your duties you measly magic tree.├
That was one word off, but this guy is awfully full of himself. So thi guy was the bea- I mean world stalk. Well, I'll give it one more chance, its three strikes out after all.
◄Why do I need to do wha-►
┤Fine! I'll just take it myself!├
Saying so, the stalk's leaves detach and a new one regrows in its place. The detached leaves float in the air in front of the stalk spinning around like a drill before flying towards my body...

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
