Just like to thank the two who reviewed! I'm really glad that my story so far has been original and interesting! I hope I can continue to meet your expectations of this story!


Sakura smiled and stretched after clambering out of between the roots of her shelter. She picked up the book, it had taken the appearance of a romance novel with Love and Warfare scribbled across the cover in silver script. It looked beautiful, the silver against the black of the leather. She softly touched the front, she watched with amazement as it looked like a rainbow of colors leave her fingers and move to center itself underneath the words taking the shape of a rose laying on it's side. It was mainly made of reds and yellows. (example would be the cover photo.) It was simply beautiful.

Her chest swelled at the sight and a soft smile presented itself onto her lips.

She flipped the book open, she expected it to be on the Stats page not the page reading about the tree-climbing quest. She pressed the back button to the quest page, then she pressed the button again bringing her back to her Stats' page. She really did feel down seeing all the low scores.

She ignored the actual page and pressed the skill tree button.

The pages turned.

Her being the curious one touched the drowning ability.

Drowning: Costs 65 skill points

Allows the user to force the water from the air another is breathing to hydrate and pool in the lungs, effectively drowning the target.

Wow harsh way to die. She studied it. Then pressed the back button to press on the Dehydrator.

Dehydrator: Costs 95 skill points

Allows for the user to sap every ounce of water out of the targets body, dehydrating the body to a very dangerous level usually ensuing the target will die.

Another harsh death, but in the end it would be helpful to have that under her belt instead of in some one else's.

She pressed the back button. She searched the other names quickly, yes she wanted to learn more about this game but she had tree-climbing and water-walking to learn. She pressed the portal option.

Portal: Costs 80 skill points

Allows the user to effectively make a portal to another destination with the use of the water element, allowing for one to travel long distances in seconds.

That sounded cool, she smiled. This was probably her best bet on keeping herself caught up with the boys. Maybe one day she would be stronger than the two of them combined. Of course that was wishful thinking, she told herself disappointed.

She pushed the back button, twice. It took her back to the skill tree page. She touched the earth section.

There were a lot more terms she didn't know in this one than with the water one. Of course there were always the ones that caught her eyes. She clicked on Abacomancy.

Abacomancy: Costs 50 skill points

Allows the user control over sand, dirt, dust, etc.

That could be useful. She clicked the back button then selected blind eye.

Blind eye: Costs 75 skill points

Allows the user to feel the vibrations in the earth to come up with an actual picture of what is going on around a person, effectively making the need for eyes null.

She thought it could be useful if she had other earth based techniques already mastered. She clicked back and selected Crumbler.

Crumbler: Costs 100 skill points

This allows the user to make the body of the target crumble back into the dust of the earth.

That would be powerful to have in her arsenal. She looked up from the book.

Sakura sighed, she should probably try out the tree climbing for a little bit before diving back into water walking. She shut the book and stood up. Dusting herself off she placed the book back into the roots of the tree.

Now how in the world was she supposed to do this?


Yes this is a very short chapter. I'm sorry. I'll go on to the other sections of the skill tree in the next chapter.

If there is an ability you would like me to go into more depth about I will be willing to answer any questions.
