Chapter – 7 (Xituna’s POV) I was walking around the world watching the land with my cute fluffy fox-like usual when I see something I haven’t seen before in either of my lives. After picking up the fox I hugging him and fluffing his tail I move over to the anomaly. In the distance, I can see a tree that is moving. It's not moving much but it is enough to be noticeable. The closer I get the more it moves. All it's doing is swaying side to side the leaves and branches of a tree usually do this in the wind but not the trunk of the tree. Once I get about ten metres away I put the fox down for safety. “Mr Fox Stay here ok.”(Xituna) “Kyun.”(Fox) “Good. I will now go and see what is happening with the tree.”(Xituna) I start moving towards the tree again. As I get closer I can feel I small amount of mana coming from it. I am now about two metres from the tree before going closer I quickly check to see if Mr fox is safe. I look at him behind me to see him sitting there looking at me. “Kyun.”(Mr fox) Good, he is still safe. If anything happens I will be fine but it might not be the same for Mr fox. Knowing Mr fox is safe I move the last two metres. Nothing has happened so far the tree is still moving like it was before. I place my hand on the tree to have a closer look at it. What I see is something that I have never seen before and thought impossible. All trees act as a sort of conduit for mana. When a mortal uses magic trees take in the divine energy and convert it into mana and then they transport it around the world to where it needs to wherever it is needed. Trees only ever give out mana around them if they have too much but this tree is giving out a far larger amount than usual. But it’s when I take a deeper look into the tree is the part that I am most interested in. All trees have a soul to convert divine energy into mana this soul is stronger than animal-based mortals but it is smaller meaning that trees do not usually have a conscience. However, this tree has developed a larger soul by absorbing mana and a small amount of divine energy. I knew that this was a possibility but what I thought impossible is that this tree has two souls. There is one soul for the tree but there is also another. The other soul is developed enough that it is sentient and could be communicating to the tree. This is something I will have to ask big sister Ziella about as she is the only one allowed to interfere with souls and the only one who knows much about them. I step back from the tree and ask big sister Ziella about it in my mind. Ding (The second soul in the tree is a stray. When the soul of the tree went through the cycle of reincarnation this other soul was able to follow it through leading to them both being in the same body which is usually impossible. This is a very rare opportunity that you are not likely to get again use it wisely. I would suggest helping develop these souls into your divine helpers. – Ziella) My divine helpers? I can do that. I look at my skills again and read them carefully. I can create divine helpers. But what should they be like? Should they be strong and steadfast to protect the forest or should they be cute and fluffy because… errrrrrr they will be cute and fluffy? (Xyrra’s POV) I continue to look at the two fish trying to decide what form they should take. I think back at all the folklore and mythology I knew in my last life. Eventually, I decide on two different sea creatures from mythology and folklore. I first turn to the redfish. I activate the skill [create divine helper] in front of me a status panel appears. [Create divine helpers] Name- Gender- Race – Lifespan – Mana limit - Base stats Strength – Wisdom – Magic – Agility – Base skills – After looking at the status screen I start to fill it out. Name – Eslise Gender – Female Race – selkie Is mana limit a numerical representation of how much mana their soul can take? If so I want this to be quite high so that they don’t take in too much mana and get hurt. Ma
