At the Field~
Lucy's P.O.V
I had already been training and practicing for months and months again with my Earth magic, and that was both sides to it. I had long since gotten control of it. Now I could make thick vines and mighty trees whenever I'd wish for it, but with the limit of my own magic capacity. I could make the earth tremble, but not break, and I could make it rise or fall at my bidding. But it took some time, it wasn't just from one moment to the other.
Besides that, I had also mastered the first three basic moves and the special one too. Actually, there were six basics and two specials, because basically I was learning two different magic at once. That also resulted in getting control over them took way longer than with the other magic.
Back to topic though, the special spell for the plant-part of my Dragon magic was "Oene Tarakona's Heu" (Earth Dragon's Razors). What it did was sending a torrent of razor-sharp leaves at the target. They cut stones like it was butter.
The special spell for the more ground-related part was 'Oene Tarakona's Pou' (Earth Dragon's Pillars), which made pillars and likewise much easier to create and control. They could reach much higher heights and hit much harder.
Acnologia had gotten his Shadow Transformation, as he preferred to call it, under control and mastered it completely. Apparently, he was supposed to unlock his full Shadow magic today. He told me Skyadrum was a little hard on him sometimes, that didn't surprise me. He wasn't the only one though, Dravola wasn't gentle either.
Now I was trying to find my Ngaro Toi (Secret Art) for both sides of my Earth magic. I had found out why Glanasile did as he did… "Lucy, feel the magic in the earth around you. Pull it in and mix it with your own. Find the words inside you and utter them as you let all the magic out of your system at once." Dravola told me.
I sweat dropped. So Glanasile wanted to be like Dravola? Was that it? I doubted it was the other way around, so it had to. Oh, Glanasile, Glanasile, Glanasile… You have a long way to go~
I nodded, but decided I would do it the same way I did with Glanasile. Completely disobey orders and just do it. So I closed my eyes and called my magic forth. When I felt it ready at my disposal, I summoned a more and more and more. And more, of course. So much I knew it was definitely enough for a Ngaro Toi (Secret Art).
I let it all burst out of me in an inferno of magic as I opened my eyes. Vines grew from the ground and thick trees writhed around each other, going up in swirls. The land rose as well or made deep craters, destroying the once beautiful field.
But no words left my mouth.
I widened my eyes. W-what had I done? I had destroyed this place… Now it looked like it had been exposed to radioactivity or something. It looked like it was from another dimension altogether.
I heard someone sigh behind me, and just knew it was Dravola. "Well, I figured it would end out like this.." She admitted. I turned around and looked quizzically at her. How did she know? As far as I knew she couldn't see the future. Actually… Thinking about it, it wouldn't surprise me if she could… She looked down at me with a hard expression in her eyes. "Even though Glanasile told you to feel the nature and the ice around you, just like you should now, you didn't. Somehow you still found your Ngaro Toi (Secret Art), so we let it slide." She told me. My eyes widened again. They knew? "I believe it's because Ice magic isn't as dependent on nature, but Earth magic is. So you have to use the magic in the earth too, you can't just use your own." She scolded me. Well, it felt like she did.
I nodded and looked down shamefully. "Ae (Yes) Dravola, I'm sorry." I apologized.
Dravola looked me up from down. "Well, besides that, they're separate, the two Ngaro Toi (Secret Art), one for each side of the Earth magic." She told me. I face palmed internally. Honestly, why hadn't I figured that out faster? Damn I was slow… Everything else was separated as well, why wouldn't this be too? Dravola walked past me and looked at the field all around us. "Well, I guess I'd better fix this.." She muttered.
Suddenly, I felt a strong feeling of magic close by, and when I looked up, I saw the feeling of a strong magic oozed from Dravola. She had closed eyes and seemed to be focusing. You could literally see the magic in a green aura around her.
The pressure of her magic skyrocketed in a sudden burst. Dravola's magic visibly flowed calmly through her feet and down into the ground. The magic moved in transparent, but still visible, waves through the ground and up the plants and the risen or lowered ground. The nature reverted back to its original state slowly, as she continued letting out her magic.
It looked unbelievably amazing as the plants and ground shone a faint green before moving slowly back to what it originally was.
I looked up at Dravola again. The magical aura around her shone brighter than before, while the magical pressure hadn't changed. The green magic flowed off of her in big waves, amplifying the speed the nature retracted back.
It didn't take long before the field had returned to how I remembered it, even the emerald grass had grown back. Dravola looked at me over her shoulder. "You will be able to do this too, when you've unlocked your full power with you Dragon, child." She told me and went back to sit next to Alodiculis again.
Alodiculis sweat dropped. "Well, Dravola, you know she won't be able to master it as well as you have." He said. I turned around and glared at him. Why would a sensei say something like that to his student? They wouldn't, because it would dampen the pupil's spirit, which was to be avoided. Alodiculis didn't seem to mind my glare though. "After all, you've dedicated your whole life to your Earth magic, so much so I doubt anyone else would do the same." Alodiculis said and thereby explained what he was thinking when he said the very discouraging comment before.
So that was how it all hung together… Dravola, who was over 400 years old, had used all this time to use her magic and get to know it in ways I wouldn't. That was amazing. Then it didn't surprise me with the amount of skill she showe just before. She had an advantage of 400 years on me, I wouldn't catch up to that, I didn't think I would be able to put myself together to practice my Earth magic, or any magic at all, to that length.
Dravola sighed. "I-it's not all that amazing." She said. I and Alodiculis both looked at Dravola with beyond surprised expressions. S-she had stammered! Dravola doesn't stammer, like… Ever. Dravola sighed again and looked at me with her usual hard expression. "Now, Lucy. Find your Ngaro Toi (Secret Art)." She said and lay down, closing her eyes as she enjoyed the sun's rays on her scales. Alodiculis and I shared a grin. We had just witnessed a rare, golden moment, which we were likely never to witness again.
Okay, this time I had to do as Dravola had told me to. Feel the nature and its magic, pull the magic into me and mix with my own and then let them both out. Seemed fairly simple in theory. I hoped it was easy in practice too.
I closed my eyes and focused on trying to feel the nature, just as Dravola had told me to. I searched for the magic in the earth, just as I started with doing, when I learned the basic spells for my Earth magic long ago.
The one of the sides I had the easiest getting under control and using was the plant-side, so I started with looking for the magic related to the plants, to find that Ngaro Toi (Secret Art) first.
It didn't take long to find the magic I was searching for as I had already practiced doing that many times. I pulled it out of the ground and into myself, letting it mix with my own magic. I kept pulling magic in until I couldn't harbor any more.
Right. I would do this for sure! I shot my eyes open and glared at the ground in front of me. I chose my target to be a rock in the middle of the field as I focused on it. Like so many other times, the words I was supposed to use popped up in my mind. "Oene Tarakona's Ngaro Toi: Ururua O Medeina!" (Earth Dragon's Secret Art: Overgrowth of Medeina) I said loudly as I let my magic burst out.
Just like my magic, vines burst through the ground and up in the air, where it swung from side to side, as if dancing. Then they shot out at a high speed and towards the rock. They hit spot on and the rock exploded in small pieces everywhere.
I heard the sound of a tail thumping the ground behind me and looked back to see Dravola and Alodiculis looking at me. Alodiculis with a smile and Dravola with an expressionless face, as always. Alodiculis nodded. "Well done, Lucy!" He praised me happily.
Before I got the chance to respond, Dravola got to her feet. "That Ngaro Toi (Secret Art) is rather rare, child." She told me. "When you've picked out a target, it'll pursue it until it hits, with no exceptions." She explained. "Well, it's getting late. We'll continue looking for the other Ngaro Toi (Secret Art) at the end of the day." She said and took off, flying away.
I looked after her as she flew, sighing. She would never change, would she? I waved goodbye to Alodiculis as he too took off.
Later~
Lucy's P.O.V
The Spirit King nodded. "Yeah, go off with you and open the Gate of that Fire Bird." He told me with a wide smile.
I smiled and nodded in return. At the moment, I was about to open Fenix' Gate in the Celestial star. I hadn't talked with him since the incident with Acnologia, so in a way, I was kind of looking forward to seeing how he would react when I called him out there.
I closed my eyes shortly so I could go to my mind, where I could enter the star. I ended up in the dark abyss as I expected. The Celestial star shone bright as ever, and I believe the Fairy Tail logo wasn't far behind. Although, the Celestial star still outshone the silver insignia.
I walked through the star and ended up in the starry place. As per usual, the meteor went its course on the night sky and created the symbol for the Phoenix constellation of the Dragon Realm. The golden key flew to me and landed in my open hands.
I held the key in one hand in the air. "Open Gate of the Fire Bird." I told the nothingness, as I let the fewer memories, but just as precious as any. I looked them through from start till end and relived them all as I did so. "Phoenix!" I said loudly.
The key began warming up and a golden light - including the usual flames, which were burning faintly - appeared in front of me. Gradually, as the light became brighter - and the flames along with it - the key got warmer and warmer at an alarming rate. In the end it was so hot it just about burned my hand, I grunted as I resisted the heat. But I had to keep on, or else I would lose what I had built up until now.
Just as I was about to scream out and release the key, not being able to take the pain any longer, the Fire Bird appeared out of the light and flames. When I saw he was here, I fell to my knees as I dropped the key and grabbed my now injured hand's wrist. I looked down at the hand I had held the key in. It was burnt and the skin was an angry red.
Fenix' seemed to notice me, and looked down at me. "Oh, te áheitanga katoa (hello) Princess. What are you-" He began a sentence but cut himself off. He quickly kneeled in front of me and pried the 'good' hand away from the 'bad' one's wrist and grabbed it himself. He looked at me with a horrified expression. "What happened? Why is your hand burnt?" He asked worriedly.
I shook my head. "I'm alright, it's nothing." I told him off. I didn't want him to be feeling bad because his key burned me, when I decided to call him out.
He shook his head. "Káo (no), it's not okay, you're clearly hurting Princess!" He told me. And right as he were, my hand was throbbing painfully at the moment. He first now realized where we were as he looked around, then at the key lying on the floor. "Don't tell me…" He muttered lowly.
I looked at him through my silver bangs. "It's nothing, Fenix. It was my choice to call you out here. It had to be done at some point either way." I reassured him and straightened my back, so I was more convincing. "I promise, it's not all that bad." I told him.
He looked at me with an expression that told me he didn't quite believe what I was saying. He decided to try once again. "Lucy, you've burnt your hand, you're not okay." He insisted.
I sighed. "Okay, it hurts a little, but it will disappear as soon as I return to the Dragon Realm." I told him in a last try.
He looked at me with a sudden hope lighting up in his eyes. "Really?" He asked. I nodded. He smiled widely. "Well, then. All you need to know is what changed, right?" I nodded again. "Well, I'm stronger, just like everyone else, but I can also transform to a real Phoenix." He told me. I widened my eyes. What? So he could be a bird now? He nodded. "Ae (Yes) I can be a bird, a big bird. Now go back to the Dragon Realm." He ordered me and disappeared in a flash of gold and flames.
I raised an eyebrow. "Alright, Mr. Bird." I muttered and closed my eyes, returning to the Dragon Realm, where my hand wouldn't throb in pain.
In the clearing~
Acnologia's P.O.V
I looked up at Skyadrum. "Do I really have to?" I asked her. I was only a second away from falling to my knees and beg, but my pride as a man and a Head Dragon kept me back.
She nodded. "Ae (Yes). You do." She told me exasperatedly. She looked down at me with a rather annoyed expression. "You know that is you don't do this, then you won't progress any further." She said.
I sighed and nodded in defeat. I knew. I knew I had to go to my Dragon an unlock the full capacity of my Shadow magic, I wouldn't be able to go any further with my Shadow magic, and I would need to do that.
I closed my eyes and sent myself to the place in the Dragon Realm I despised the most. I opened my face and looked right up into my own. "What took you so long, Mini-Me? Here I was waiting eagerly for your return and then you keep me waiting for so long? Oh you little bad boy." My Dragon mocked me.
I glared at him. "Very funny Jackass." I 'praised' him. I didn't back down as we glared right into each other's eyes. I wouldn't lose this little battle of dominance, not to him. "Would you just get on with it already?" I snarled at him.
He smirked. "Right, right, Mini-Me." He said amusedly. He thumped his tail on the ground twice and the usual mark in a pitch-black color appeared. He moved his head away from me, but kept looking into my eyes. "Go on then, go and be beaten down." He told me happily.
I glared at him and kept looking into his eyes as I went towards the pitch-black mark. When I stood right in front of it, the Dragon finally averted his eyes and looked forward, cracking his neck as if it had been uncomfortable turning his head all the way around like that. I looked straight forward at the mark. It seemed like the shadows were oozing off the mark.
Remembering what happened when I unlocked my Iron magic, I first touched it with my hand, when it passed through as it was supposed to, I entered it and passed through.
For once, the blinding light didn't appear, all there was, was blackness. And that didn't change even after I knew I wasn't travelling through the portal. It kept being jet black no matter where I looked. I blinked a few times, but still, nothing happened.
Maybe I could light it up? I made a ball with my Fire magic and let it hover above my hand. But it was too dark for even that to have any effect whatsoever. It was dark and it remained dark, no matter how much Fire I produced.
I groaned. "What are you up to now, asshole?" I asked the Dragon I knew was watching me amusedly.
As usual, he was having a blast, you could hear it in his voice when he spoke. Not used to the dark, are we? He asked mockingly. I waited patiently for him to continue. The Dragon laughed again. Well, then Mini-Me. This one'll be different from the other times, as I'm sure you noticed. The Dragon said sounding very bored. You'll have to fight off my creation, which is already with you now, without using you sight. The Dragon explained.
I looked around. What? My opponent was already here? How was I supposed to fight something I couldn't see? That was impossible, I couldn't do that. You can't fight without being able to see your foe. "I can't fight without being able to see who I'm fighting! It's impossible!" I yelled at him.
My Dragon snarled at me, much to my surprise. Of course you can! You have to! Use your goddamn senses, idiot! He growled and calmed down. Looks can be deceiving. Don't ever forget that. But hearing, smelling, feeling. They never betray you. He told me, changing character completely. I realized he was actually giving me a lesson, an important lesson at that too. People may play tricks with your sight and what you see, they might even make you hear things. But they can never make you smell things that aren't there or feel things that can't be felt. They can play with your head, but not your senses. He told me. I stayed silent, wondering how in the world that Jackass I knew suddenly changed to sound almost wise. How could a person - or Dragon - change his character and personality so fast and so much. Mini-Me, if you want to survive in this world and in the future, you will need to fight without relying on your sight. He told me.
I nodded. His explanation made a lot of sense, it really did. But I still couldn't see how I was supposed to fight without seeing. I looked around, but I still couldn't find the creation my Dragon had created.
My Dragon sighed exasperatedly. Mini-Me. You're stupid, very stupid. He told me matter-of-factly. You have to feel the shadows. Hear my creation. Smell its presence. You have to be able to do all this in order to beat it. He told me.
I looked down. Well, he wouldn't budge, that much was clear. I would have to focus. Now more than ever before.
I closed my eyes and breathed deeply and slowly. I opened my eyes again, but tuned in on my hearing. I knew that creation of his didn't move right now, so it wouldn't make any sounds. But I could smell it. Its scent wasn't comparable to anything I had smelled before, it was dark. Somehow, the scent was dark. That was all I could say.
He was a few meters in front of me, standing completely still. I looked in the direction where I knew he was standing, but I couldn't see him. I crouched. Now I could smell him, I could fight him.
Just as with any other of my Dragon's creations, it wouldn't move until I did. So I charged the man with my fist held high. I breathed in once again to be sure he hadn't moved from his spot. He hadn't, luckily, so I sped up and got ready.
When I knew I was close to where the man stood, I jumped up and struck down with my fist, aiming for the spot where I could smell the man was. I kept going down, I kept on a little too far. I hadn't hit him. Why hadn't I? I had smelled he would be right here, why hadn't I-
I was cut off, when I felt something strikingly similar to an elbow hitting my back and slamming me down on the black ground. I hit the ground with a grunt. I quickly got on my feet and put some distance between me and where I had been smacked down.
My back throbbed a little in pain, but then stopped. I glared at the darkness in front of me. He hadn't hit me hard, only just enough to knock me down. He was playing with me.
I wasn't fast enough, that was what I did wrong. I was too slow, I needed to be faster. I closed my eyes and inhaled air through my nose, once again trying to smell where the Shadow man was. I found him a little to my right.
I opened my eyes and turned to his direction. Still, I couldn't see him. I would try again, speed up, run faster and hit him. So I did as I had decided and ran as fast as my legs allowed me to. I ran all the way to the Shadow man, so close I stopped up suddenly and spun, sticking my foot out, aiming to hit the side of the Shadow man's head
My foot was stopped by a single, cold hand before it hit. I felt my other foot lose ground and I fell back on my back with yet another grunt. The Shadow man released the foot he held and let it drop to the ground. I could hear him step back and away.
I got to my feet and backed away once again. Maybe I wasn't fast enough? Or could he guess my moves, was I too obvious? That was probably it, I was too obvious in the way I moved about. I showed the enemy what I would do even before I had done it.
This time… I would run up to him and do whatever came to mind. I wouldn't have a plan beforehand; I would just go on pure instinct.
So, going with that plan, I once again sniffed out the Shadow man and quickly charged at him. For the third time already. When I knew he was in range, I began delivering punches and kicks. None of them hit. Some were blocked, others didn't even graze him. In the end, he pushed me away with a punch to the gut.
This didn't work out. I hadn't even landed a single hit on him yet, and all he had done was knocking me around. I had to figure out what to do, this couldn't continue.
My Dragon laughed at me. Idiot! You're still relying on sight! He mocked me amusedly. Besides, smell is only good to track something and figuring out where it is at the moment. My creations move, Mini-Me, they don't stand still. You can't use your smelling for much here. It won't track its movements. He told me.
I growled. I knew that already. But what was I supposed to do? I could hear it and smell them. I couldn't see it. How was I supposed to figure out where it would hit me? What was the last thing he mentioned? Hearing, smelling and…
Feeling. Feeling and sensing. I had to figure out where the Shadow man was and what he would do by feeling the shadows around me. Skyadrum had taught me this, to feel the shadows around me and what moved in them.
I could pin-point him easily with smelling, then I would just as easily feel him with my shadow magic. I was using my eyes too much too? Then the simple solution would be to just close my eyes.
So I closed my eyes. I sniffed the Shadow creation out once again and I quickly found him in front of me, but a little away. Then I focused on the Shadow world I had entered. I tuned in on the place where I knew the Shadow man was and I felt him. Felt everything about him, every little twitch.
I nodded silently to myself. Now I could do it. I could defeat him and I would defeat him.
I once again charged at him, this time more aware of him and how he moved. I had my fist held high, just as I had started out. I chose to not leap into the air this time, not wanting to copy earlier moves completely.
I ran up close to him and began lashing out with my fist. I let it shoot forward, aiming for the Shadow man's stomach. I felt him twisting to the side to dodge me, so I quickly spun around with my foot out and my foot connected with his stomach. The Shadow man took a step back from the hit and then another, with an arm over his stomach and his back bent, as if he could actually be hurting.
I landed safely on the ground with the other foot falling back as I ended in a crouched stance. This way I could also easily pounce on him again.
I jumped into the air and struck down at him, while he was still trying to catch his 'breath', I jabbed my fist forward when I had him in my range and hit his back where he had hit me earlier, although not with an elbow like he had.
I pushed off from him, which in return made him collapse with the added weight. I landed gently on my feet and stared down into the darkness, where the Shadow man was.
I knew he wasn't done yet, he still had a lot to go on, he was stronger than that. I let him rise to his feet and stand facing me again.
This time I wasn't the one to charge, he was. Which was unusual. None of the others did that. Anyhow, I felt his feet pound on the shadowy ground and knew exactly where he was.
He seemed to be copying me, with a fist held high, ready to strike. The only way I could think of to keep him away right here and now was to kick him somehow. And there was one kick above them all I preferred the most, so when he was in my ranged. I jabbed my foot out in a powerful roundhouse kick, which hit him right underneath his chin and sent him flying upwards. I even felt the recoil going all the way down from my foot and to the end of my leg.
I took one step to build some kind of speed, then shot off from the ground in a jump much higher than the ones I had jumped earlier. I soared high in the air above my opponent, made a somersault, sticking my foot out as I spun around, and landing a vigorous hit in his stomach, making him shoot down into the ground underneath.
I felt the crash in the shadows when he landed, he wouldn't get up after this. I landed with my knees bent and one hand on the ground to steady myself. I finally opened my eyes and looked at the place where I could feel the Shadow man lying. Slowly, just like with all the other, I felt him vanish into thin air.
I got on my feet once again and looked up at the 'sky'. "There! Let me out now!" I yelled at the Dragon, panting a little in exhaustion. While the fight was short, it wasn't easy. It was surprisingly exhausting actually.
Sure, just go through the portal. He told me. I narrowed my eyes. He was unusually bored with this. I ignored his weirdness and looked around after the portal. I couldn't see it anywhere around me. I was just about to ask where it was, when my Dragon broke out roaring in laughter. When you find it that is. He said amusedly.
I growled under my breath. "Oh you…!" I growled at the Jackass. He had made the portal all black on purpose, so I wouldn't be able to see it. Well, fine then, I would just use my other senses, as he had just taught me.
He laughed once again. Well, you know. Funny thing about this portal is that you can't see it, as it blends in with the surroundings. You can't hear it, because it doesn't make a sound. You can't smell it, because it doesn't have a scent. And you can't feel it, because the magic in it is the same as the one in the room around you. He mocked me while laughing his ass off.
I would kill that guy one day. I would kill him for sure.
At the Field~
Lucy's P.O.V
I opened my eyes and saw I had returned to the Dragon Realm. I looked down at my palm, which had been a burning red just a second ago. Now, just as expected, there was nothing to see.
"So, how did it go, Lucy?" The Spirit King asked. I looked up at him. He was sitting on the ground with crossed legs, not at all looking like the King of the Spirits.
I beamed up at him. "It went good!" I told him happily. "Did you know Fenix could actually transform to a Phoenix?" I asked him rhetorically. Before he even got the chance to reply, I pulled out the Fire Bird's key from the pouch. "Open Gate of the Fire Bird! Phoenix!" I said loudly and swiped down with the key.
A golden light with flames appeared and summoned Fenix. He looked around to figure out where he was, then spotted me holding the key in the hand which was burnt before. He rushed to my side and grabbed my wrist once again and pulling the key out of my grip. He looked down at the perfectly normal hand then back at me. "Don't do that again, Princess. Please don't." He begged me.
I nodded with a smile. "Sure! Next time I'll let you get burnt!" I told him happily. Now, it wasn't because I was as sadist I said this. Káo (no), it was as simple as just being because he couldn't burn as a Fire Bird.
He laughed and nodded. "That's fine with me." He agreed. "Why did you summon me, though?" He asked. He looked like he already knew the answer.
I smiled at him. "I think you already know." I told him. He just grinned. "Please show me~" I begged him. I really wanted to see this Bird form of his.
He grinned. "If that is what you wish, Princess." He said and bowed in a mocking way. He erupted into flames for a split second and instead of a man, stood a red bird proudly on its two feet.
He reached just above my waist in height, standing up. His feathers were the same as the ones he had as a 'human'. A burning red color fading to a dark orange. He had a long, pointy beak in a bright, orange color, the same color as his feet as a bird. He had three long tail-feathers, sticking up into the air. I just got to see his wings when he played with his feathers under one of them, as birds always do. They were longer than me, with my hands above my head. In other words, very long. At the back of his head, a few feathers stuck out, making it look like some kind of hair. He had kept his burning eyes, but now with a smaller iris. When he moved around, his feathers seemed to be on fire.
He skipped towards me and looked up at me with what could be called a smile. "What do you think, Princess?" He squawked.
I almost laughed at how high his voice suddenly had become, instead of his usual, deep voice, but kept it reigned in for his pride's sake. "I think you look awesome." I reassured him.
This seemed to make him proud and he blew his chest up and stood tall as an eagle. His three back-feathers strutted up in the air and he made sure his wings sat as they should. I giggled a little at him. It was kind of cute of him.
He spread his wings widely, showing off their amazing size. He sent me a last look, then took off into the air and showed me what he could do in the sky.
Later~
Lucy's P.O.V
After Fenix was done showing off his skills at flying, he had left to go back to the Spirit World and thanked me for the opportunity to finally use that form once again. Apparently it had been several decades since he had used it last.
It was a while ago, though. Now I was practicing both of my Ngaro Toi (Secret Art). Ae (yes), both. It didn't take long to find the other one when I had already discovered the first. Funny thing was, they were very similar.
I lifted my hands in a swoop. "Oene Tarakona's Ngaro Toi: Matakoma Whenua O Medeina!" (Earth Dragon's Secret Art: Bulging Land of Medeina) I said loudly as pillars rose from the ground and quickly hit the wooden target I had picked out.
Yeah, they were that alike. Exactly the same, except one being plants and the other ground. They would both pursue the target until they hit.
Now all I had to do was practice them so much it wasn't necessary to use as much of the ground's magic as I did at the moment.
Okay then, this turned out to be a bit of a longer chapter. Be proud of me, why don'cha?
I imagine Phoenix in his bird form to look a little like Swellow from Pokémon, just red, longer beak, three tail-feathers not two, and bigger wings as well. Okay… Maybe I was inspired by Swellow at first sight… But I it changed a lot, I realize.
Anyway, Medeina or Medeiné is a goddess of the Lithuanian mythology. Her name was made from the words tree and forest in Lithuanian (Medis - tree and medé - forest). She is the ruler of forests, trees and animals. Yeah, I never her of her and thought it would be interesting to add her for no reason at all.
TRANSLATIONS:
'Ururua' means 'Overgrowth', 'Matakoma' means 'bulge' ('Bulging' only gave me a single 'î', and I wanted a longer word, so… I was a little creative), 'Whenua' means 'Land' and 'Oene' means 'Earth', of course.
