Chapter 13: The Beginning of Creation
Mayan 16th 3927
Well I have completed my apprentice-ship. I have been promoted to Journeyman class Lore master and Warlock by the Story teller, and Journeyman class mercenary by Kratos. Yuan says that now we are prepared to make our pacts with Origin and Maxwell. I never thought when I began this journey that it would take this long. I also never truly understood what this journey was about. It started out as wanting revenge for all the people that have sacrificed their lives to this foolish war. My parents, Kratos parents, Yuan's father, all dead, because a bunch of stupid people couldn't share the mana from the Great Tree. Now it is for the sake of the Great Tree that I fight I want a world where both humans and elves get along well enough to plant the seed that my sister carries close to her heart. I know that when that day comes Martel's life will become part of the Holy Kharlan Tree. She will in fact exist as part of the Tree itself. Yuan does not fully comprehend what will happen when this time comes. She will still have physical form, and they will have children together but she will never be able to travel more than 25 miles from her tree again. He also does not know that her personality may change when she becomes Mana. I also think that the situation for all of us is becoming more dangerous. There are those that are making a great deal of gald off of the mana shortage, and some of them are aware what the mission of our little group is. It is not myself, or Kratos that I am worried for. We are warriors. I worry for Sis and Yuan, they are magic users, and if they are attacked at close range they will be unable to defend themselves. We have Boltzmann's cure but it will only work to revive someone from the dead a certain number of times. They must also be on the verge of the land of the living and the land of the dead. If they are completely dead then the spell won't work. I also fear what will happen if only one of them is killed. They love each other so much that whoever survived would soon follow to the land of the dead. I fear for all of us in the next few months.

8:00 a.m.
Well at least on this trip there are not many preparations to make for the journey. We are after all only going into the Torrent Forest. The Elder has forewarned us to be very careful in our preparations for battle. Many of the creatures in the forest are extremely powerful and dangerous. Especially, surrounding the Origin Temple. This is why only the most skilled of Elves is allowed to travel into the Torrent Forest.
11:00 a.m.
This forest just keeps getting thicker and thicker. I feel like I am suffocating. By Origin's name I do not like closed in spaces, I am a half-elf not an ant. Kratos says that we need to be very wary since a gold dragon is known to have claimed territory in this forest. If we kill it we will claim all his treasure however. I kind of hope we do run into him. I think that if we can handle Origin we can handle a dragon. We could use that money to build a peace centre on the Holy Ground of Kharlan. Not to mention paying for the schooling of any children Yuan and Martel have, and make them financially secure for the rest of their lives.
3:00 p.m.
We did it, we made the pact with Origin. He was very difficult to defeat, and I nearly lost at the end. Kratos used first aid on me so many times it was not funny. Even worse than with Shadow. Origins hobby apparently is inventing things. He is responsible for many of the mechanical devices that housewives in Heimdall use to save time in their housework. That is really cool that he invents things without wasting mana. He believes that half-elves need to be seen as an individual culture in their own right not stuck in the middle between elves and humans. I am a little worried about Sis, she seem to be have trouble keeping food down lately, and she has gained a little weight since she and Yuan got married. I don't know how, she and Yuan both suck at cooking.
