Chapter 6 Sister Moon and Brother Sun
Julan 1st 3923
We did it; we have arrived at the Tower of Mana to conquer the last Summon Spirit on the Sylvarant Continent. We will camp outside the Tower tonight, and tomorrow night, and then we will attempt to pact with Luna and Aska the following day. Our stay in Luin was interesting. Apparently Luin is the home of a roving band of pirates, many of whom are half elves. They make a point to aid the caravans of the Sylvarant military whenever possible. I think that is so cool. After what we have been through I appreciate it greatly whenever a half elven group takes revenge on a human government. When I told Sis this thought she thumped me over the head and yelled at me that violence isn't always the answer to all of my problems. Funny how she whacked me in the head when she said that. Kratos laughed when I complained. Now that I know what the hobby of the Sylphs are I have made it a pint to research the hobbies of the other 2 Summon Spirits that I have made pacts with. Apparently Efreets' is flame swallowing. A very interesting hobby to say the lease. Good for entertaining at the circus I guess. I asked Undine what her hobby is and she said that her hobby is studying the creatures of the sea. She is a marine biologist. That is really cool.
Kratos got me a new weapon in Luin it is called a Shadow Sword. He says that since light and shadow are opposites it should work well against Luna and Aska. It seems that my skills with a sword continue to improve with each Summon Spirit that we defeat. Kratos says that it is also because my Cruxis Crystal is increasing in power. I hardly need any sleep or food now. It is strange even when I eat my favourite foods I hardly can eat anything. Remiel says that our bodies exist purely off the mana of the earth now and that technically we no longer need to eat or sleep. We just continue to do so because it feels good. I learned a new spell as last week it is called Grand Chariot. It does a lot of damage. I think that it will come in use sometime. Though not against Luna and Aska since angelic spells are primarily light based.
Sis is sharing her tent with Yuan lately. I share with Kratos, and Remiel and Spiritua share a tent. I think that they are falling in love with each other too. Yuan had darned well better be careful with my sister. Yes I realize how babies are made. Mom explained it to me before she died. We have too much to do to stop this War and save the tree for Sis to go having a baby right now. Oh this is funny; Efreet is using his fire to toast marshmallows for everyone. I need some sugar I think this is gonna be fun.
Julan 2, 3923
Well this is our second day at the Tower of Mana. We are all recovering from what we have been through in the past several months. Sis is washing out clothes over by the river bank. Everything is so dirty you can see big streaks of dirt washing down the river. I am being forced to darn socks. We all have gotten so many rocks in our boots on the hike from Hima that we all have big holes in our socks. Remiel said that he wished we dared to fly but, that since we were still in Sylvarant it would not be a wise idea. It might set off there detectors and we might end up back in the prison camp. I think I am going to wander down to the river and take a bath. I am really dirty, and have marshmallow stuck in my hair.
Some kind of weird green and white bird came up and started grooming my hair after I got out of the river. It is strange it is rather big, and the sounds it makes are almost understandable as language. I think I will ask the others what kind of bird this is. I have seen something like this in one of my books. I am not sure that I am correct though. Kratos says this bird is a Protozoan. I was right yay! Kratos says that he will eventually evolve from this form into a wolf, or dog like creature, and then into a human that fights evil. This is so cool. I asked Sis if he could travel with us since he seems to have attached himself to me. Sis said of course he could. We could use another night watch person, and in bird form the protozoan is nocturnal. I asked him if it was okay if I named him Noishe ("This means evolving soul in elven" Raine Sage 7923) (Kratos 7923" This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship for all of us. Noishe stayed friends with Mithos right up until the very end.") I have never had a pet before; it is almost like having a brother.
Kratos says that Protozoon's are really rare. They are nearly extinct because they much like us angels have been used as weapons of war. Remiel says that up on Derris Kharlan there are a true not created species of angels. It is interesting that Origin created so many different species. I will be so happy tomorrow when we finally face Luna and Aska. Then we can head home, and take a break for awhile. For one thing I am expected back in school for September.
Julan 3rd 3923
This morning we faced off with Luna and Aska. Gods they are powerful! I made my promise to them, and I hope that promising to stop the War and save the Great Tree will be enough. I want this system where the people who are left sitting in the middle like half elves, and women and children suffer while the full bloods, and the rich and powerful relax in the lap of luxury to stop. I am not stupid things cannot be fair for everyone all the time but, they can be much more fair than they are now.
Luna is really pretty; she has golden hair and big blue eyes. She is also really nice. She kind of reminds me of Mommy, once I completed the pact she came down off of where she was sitting with Aska and gave me a big hug. (Yuan 7923, "Luna was Mithos' first real crush, It was partially her beauty, and partially the fact that she reminded him of his mother. If you are wondering why the Summon Spirits reacted differently to Sheena than they did to Mithos it is partly because Mithos was a child. He had lost both parents in a short time, and this created sympathy in the hardest of hearts. Also, Sheena demanded their power Mithos simply asked for their assistance.") I like Luna she is kind of like a Mom or big Sister to the other Summon Spirits. Aska, Efreet, the Sylphs, and Undine call her Sister Moon. They all call Aska Brother Son. It is weird to think of Summon Spirits as having family relationships just like humans, elves, dwarves, and half elves do. Yay, tomorrow we are going home. We get to stay in Meltokio awhile with Kratos dad and mom, and then we head back to Heimdall. Back to cream stew, lessons with the Story Teller, and school.
