A/N Chapter 2 is up! R&R for more(not that I won't continue on anyway, lol)! This chapter doesn't have any smut in it, sorry! I really like a decent adventure and fantasy story now a days with a touch of erotica to it, as well~
When you got to the broken town, you were still wearing your warrior suit. It had your Kingdom's precious emblem on the front, and you had your sword. Due to how heavy a shield would be, they put magic on your cloak to use as a light substitute. Everything was still the same on you.
You needed to look around, find survivors, maybe food and water, too… That embarrassing session with Ragsiel wasn't like it regenerated your hunger.
"Haa…" you signed, feeling slightly downhearted, due to the lack of people to ask around for directions, for food, or anything in particular.
You thought of Ragsiel. Was he the only living being in this broken kingdom?
But then, you remembered, a boy's name. "Might…" you mumbled it.
"So, if I'm to save Might and stop Hardius, I have to start by… Retrieving parts of creatures around this…" You eyed around. It wasn't a forest like he said, obviously.
"That idiot deity!" you angrily cried. "Why am I not in the forest to get the items I need from those creatures, damnitt!"
"Because it was too dangerous at the moment." It was a straightforward response from an invisible Ragsiel, startling you.
"Huh?!" you cried. "Ragsiel?"
"Yes, I appear in your subconscious occasionally to help you find your bearings." He seemed serious.
"Okay, but why couldn't you just morph me in another part of a forest?" you questioned.
"Heeh…?" his tone was playfully mischievous again. "How can you call yourself a woman if you can't get the job right, hmm?"
Was he…
Your hands clenched into a fist. You'd punch him if he was here, so very hard.
"Okay, so now what to do? It morning, and there seems to be no sign of Hardius."
"That is good, as expected, since he only likes to appear on nights everyday, but on daylight hours, it's only for special occasions."
"'Special occasions…'" you mumbled, coldly.
"Yes, so with you out here, trying to end his heir, he'll most likely be out occasionally, but not all the time."
"So, what do I do now?" you asked.
"You wait a little till its afternoon, then head off to the forest."
You thought Ragsiel was being unreasonable.
"What am I supposed to do while I wait?" you grouched.
"Patience," he simply said.
You signed openly.
"Well, you can always pass time with me, if you'd like~" he said, playfully, but also a sense of seductiveness, as well.
You blushed and said, "Pervert!"
"Well, I was just joking, but anyway, to gain the next stages of power, you need to retrieve the items, so patience is what you need."
"I can do it."
"That was quick." He always seemed like he didn't believe in you.
"Okay, now. Leave me alone or whatever you do to stop talking to me subconsciously."
"Understood, princess~" he teased.
You signed and headed out.
You wanted to find some source of either entertainment or something to use for magic spells, to help you on your next battle. It was best you did the second option, so you continued your search for books or potions and herbs. Being a warrior, you also were somewhat knowledgeable in skills involving magic.
You walked around, taking a full hour, till you found a ruined book shop. You peeked inside, sword ready at will, till you realized it was fully safe. Then again, Ragsiel did morphed you in a secure area, where there shouldn't be any danger. But, you wouldn't take any chances.
You walked in, and saw that most of the debris had destroyed the shops tables and seatings. But, luckily, not the books. Though some were laying here and there.
You picked a few up and crouched down on the ground, it was books on math and science, nothing you really needed, at the moment, atleast.
You repeated the same process, picking up books, crouching down and trying to find a spellbook or potion book. This lasted another hour for you. You finally found one, a spell book with also a mini manual on potions. You stood up and walked out, knowing you'd need to find a bag to carry them in, which this small book store didn't have.
Luckily within a few minutes of passing by a small house, there was a bag, some were ripped, but luckily you manage to find one quite quickly that wasn't. This house was also destroyed, but you were sure relieved that you didn't find any bodies. It would of broken you down, after all.
Suddenly…
GROWL~
You were very hungry.
"Damnitt," you cursed. "I really need to find some food."
You eyed around and saw that it was reaching afternoon, so it should be safe to go into the forest now. It should not be so far from here, atleast by horse, but on foot, extra 45 to 1 hour by walking. You signed.
"I wonder if there's a flying spell in this book?" you mumbled, looking into it, passing pages. It wasn't like you were a quick reader, but a decent one, to boot.
You reached to a point where you saw a page on it, and decided to try it out. It said you'd need to absolutely think of bird wings as your hands, and as light as a feather to fly up. But also, you'd need to write a symbol down on the ground and stand on it, while mimicking a bird's wings.
"This sounds rather silly…" you thought, closing the book, but ended up trying it anyway, after all.
You made the symbol on the dirted ground, began to empty your thoughts, filling it up with birds only, making yourself feel light as a feather, and began to relax. Then, you started to mimic a bird's flapping its wings.
After a few moments, the symbol shined and bird feathers started to float around you as you started to rise up. Realizing it worked, you said, victoriously, "I did it!"
You then said, "I guess Ragsiel was right for picking me as the next hero~"
Suddenly you fell down.
You rubbed your spot that hit the floor lightly since you were only like an inch off the ground.
"What was that?" you cursed.
You looked into the book, realizing it said, "Warning, only think of light as a feather subjects. Nothing too extreme, please."
"Seriously…?" you mumbled, annoyed.
But, you did it again anyway, and flew towards the forest, on your way.
As you flew through the sky, you thought of light subjects, and kept them not too extreme, as it says on the warning.
"Okay, let's see…" you mumbled, looking down, as you were high enough to see almost everything in plain sight. "A creature is what I need to attack and kill, then get something off its body… but what?"
Knowing its not safe to fly while talking to Ragsiel, you flew down.
"Is there a way to summon Ragsiel, or should I just look for a pond in this instant?" You thought.
You saw a pond and looked into it. You waited, but nothing happened. Just your reflection.
"Great, now I don't know what I need from the monsters of this forest…!" you cursed.
STOMP STOMP STOMP
GROWL!
Suddenly a creature on four legs stomped its way towards you, with horns and razor sharp teeth. It looked like it was running towards you, ready to crush you into the rock in the back of the pond.
You dodged it, the monster crashing into it instead.
You took our your sword and readied your aim.
It ran towards you again, making you have to dodge again.
"Damnitt! I can't just keep dodging it! I need to find a way to-" you thought till you noticed a X carved into a tree, a trap that must of been here for who knows long. You looked on top of the tree and saw wooden spikes that were most likely there to impale anything that would bump into the tree X symbol with enough force.
You just needed to do a simple trick with this monster.
You saw it run at you, which you dodged momentarily, it running into the first tree, destroying it, and as it picked itself up, you ran towards the X carving, and stood there with sword in hands. As it looked at you, it prepared itself for a much more brute force attack, as it must of gotten tired of using considerable less strength on you.
You let your finger move back and forth, a gesture meaning, "Come at me," angering the beast even more and it ran at you with great speed, making you sweat drop, then…!
You dodged it!
It rammed its horns into the X tree, and the spikes went down with great speed and impaled the creature, killing it.
You rubbed your sweaty forehead and said with somewhat comedic tones, "Not bad on an empty stomach…"
You walked towards it, and saw that this creature was bleeding greatly, dead, but still bleeding greatly. It emitted a raw smell, too, because of the red liquid.
"You set this creature free, and now you can eat its flesh to gain energy." It was Ragsiel. He was in his serious mode.
"Okay, but what do I need from this creature?" you asked.
"You need one of its horns," he continued. "The silver one."
"The silver one?" you asked. "I didn't noticed any silver one…"
You then saw it, and had not noticed it before, because you were too busy trying to not die.
You pressed your sword into the horns opening, blood gushed out, almost hitting your face, then you got it out. It was a small horn, too. No wonder you did not notice it.
"Okay, I got it, now what, Ragsiel?" you asked.
Suddenly, the whole area turned white and bright, making you close your eyes, then you found yourself in a wet and glistening room, which had a small pond and river, all clean and pure.
"You can also morph me without a pond?" you asked him, as he appeared from the clear water like curtains.
"Then I could, but after I gave you some power, I gave you some of mine, so I can morph you freely." He continued, serious and emotionless expression on.
"But what about you being stuck in the Pond of Memories?" you stepped back.
"I am still, and I'll be needing that horn," he continued.
You eyed it, still in your hands, and gave it to him, as he suddenly was so close to you. Damn, Ragsiel's fast transport ability.
"Come," he ordered.
You followed, reluctly. Suddenly, it was a different room, it was a library like room, but with globes of glass holding something in them.
"What is all this Ragsiel?" you asked, suspicious.
"I'm going to compose this horn to turn it into a man, based on who has seen or touched it."
"Why a man, Ragsiel?" you asked.
"Why not?" he asked back, smiling. "This holds only a man's memory, touch and sight, and he's one of them, who fought Hardius with Might."
"Huh?" you wondered, slightly confused.
Ragsiel put the horn into a glass globe and also put in something else in there, as well. It was red hair, it seemed.
"What are you doing?" you stepped back as the glass globe started to convulse.
Then, as you saw something form into it, it broke and suddenly an overbearing bright light shined, making you cry and drop down.
"Uhhh…" you groaned. "What was that Ragsiel?"
"Yahoo~ What happened? I don't really remembered what happened, but all I remembered was dying on the ground, but now I feel great!"
Before you stood a naked man, and you blushed red.
"Kyaaah!" you cried, loudly, as he started to eye you.
"Oh, hey, cutie~ Like what you see?" he said, moving his hips with his hands on them.
"Put that disgusting and filthy thing away, pervert!" you cried.
"Yeah, alright~" he turned around and tried to look around, making you just close your eyes and hide them with both your hands.
"Strange, I cannot find any clothes."
Ragsiel, who must of disappeared to retrieve clothes for this man, came back.
"Leica, here's some clothes. Put them on, and I'll need you to head out with Y/N to retrieve more items to resurrect more of your allies."
"Hey, Ragsiel. It's been a while!" he said, chipperly.
"Yes, I know. But, we'll need to be serious if we're going to bring this world back to where it once was." Ragsiel was serious.
"Okay~" Leica said politely.
Leica started to put clothes on, forgetting that you were in the room. Or just did not care.
"Hey, Y/N. I'm Leica Keet." He seemed carefree and friendly. But still shameless!
You peeked and saw that he put on clothes.
"Boy, it's great to have another arm back~"
"Huh, what do you mean?" you questioned.
He suddenly got quiet, a face completely different from his jolly personality he shown a second ago, changed to that of a serious one with grief.
"Mister Lieca, what's wrong?" you asked, concerned.
"Oh it's nothing," he said, quietly.
But his face changed to a happy one, saying "Leica is fine, though. No mister, Y/N~"
Ragsiel explained some things to Leica, which he giggled as you blushed about how Ragsiel gave you power.
"Wow, was it your first time?" he giggled.
"Shut up!" you angrily said, bopping him on the head, slightly.
Ragsiel continued, "So, for now we'll need to resurrect the others, save Might, and stop Hardius once and for all."
Leica looked serious and said, "Okay."
"Also, Leica, let me see your hand."
Leica looked a bit confused, more shocked than confused, but did what he was told, reluctly.
"Sure…?"
Suddenly as they grasp each other's hands, light emitted from inside.
"Woah! I feel stronger!" Leica chirped.
"Yes, I gave you the ability to give Y/N energy power."
You blushed, knowing what this completely meant.
"Heh? What about me, you jerk?~" Leica said, in a slight comedic and cute tone.
"I gave you your body fully, and all your memories, including skills back." Ragsiel looked a bit annoyed, a slight scary aura appearing. Leica knew this was sign to back off.
"Uh, thank you very much, Ragsiel Sama!" he said quickly with a sweat drop.
As Ragsiel was about to leave, You said, "Wait, can I have something to eat please?"
"Oh you should of said so, Y/N." Ragsiel said, his arm going to his forehead.
"Why?" you asked, confused.
"I can make berries grow on bushes. Very ripe with juices and you can drink from the pond of Memory."
"Alright. I suppose that could do well enough for now."
"Yes, and the monsters you defeat are completely edible. Their meat is full of rich fats to give you the strength you need and the filling for your stomach."
"Yahoo~ I've been dying for some rich meat~" chirped Leica.
You were about ready to leave.
"Yeah, yeah, understood. Now, how do I morph out of here?"
"You may leave now."
You and Leica morphed out of there, in the same spot you were at, near the dead beast you have defeated.
