Emerald Ocean

{Announcement} Got a notification about being put in some kinda promising books event or whatever which I guess could be considered feedback so I'ma get to work on this book again... Gotta finish that there last arc... My little Gieco Lizard deserves death!!! --- Inside a garden full of towering trees untold years old that sadly have inferiority complexes caused by the never ending giant tower that supports the sky that the garden sits in front. Upon the branch of one of the smallest trees in the garden, the last of it's kind of the tallest it's breed of tree was ever been able to grow as well as the oldest, sits a beautiful fairy who seems but the size of a squirrel emotionless sipping tea watching the leaves fall off the leaves of the tree as if having already given up on life when suddenly a wind passes by the eternally still garden and everything gently quakes as the infinite number of lines along the towers base lights up gently with a blazing emerald flame that is bordering on black. As if struck by a earth quake the woman falls out of her chair unbearably shaking as her eyes lock upon a thing far away in the infinitely large garden not a plant, not a tree, but the ground itself. A crazy and hopeful fire begins to burn deep within the beautiful fairies eyes as reaches out her hand and with a determined look shatters the very core of her soul sending a piece of herself out into the earth and herself tumbling listlessly into a deep sleep alone on the branch. Hope still burning in her eyes even as they slowly close and a twisted smile upon her lips. Like a bolt of lightning the core of her soul that was a part of her soul but not at the same time takes flight towards the sky circling around the crown of the small tree twice before gently bumping into the already sleeping woman as if in sorrow before flashing away faster then the eye could see reaching a distance so far you wouldn't be able to walk it in a million years even if you could travel at the speed of light and diving into the soil of a solitary mound of dirty diving deeper and deeper it eventually stops and flashes so bright it can even be suttly seen from the garden above as the deep blue light like the ocean fuses into the very core of an single solitary atom inside the soil as if slipping through a crack. Across a vast and unending expanse of sky a brilliant flash of blue light up the very core of a universe before zooming away in the exact instant it appeared as if nothing their ever mattered not the massive throne, the unending number of people fighting for it, nor the ghastly little hut that's door has never opened in all of its existence and that space has warped the top of that no eyes made of flesh has ever seen and no man has ever hoped to enter. One, Ten, A Hundred, A thousand, A Million, A Billion, an untold number more stars pass by as they begin to trail together before the light finally find a crack. Not in space, not in time, not in anything but itself simply existing like it's always existed. The space between filled with nothing. Diving into the crack without even slowly down the blue light seems to fade from existence as if it was never there. Slowly but surely as the blue light fades so does the crack before with it's last peek a suttle flash of Emerald escapes being vanishing from sight. The gentle beam of light flew out never stopping till it struck a nearby planet. As the light was absorbed by that planets inhabitants something... Awoke.

Ch. 28 Observation

The humans seem quite slow in comparison to any other creature in the caves. They take days just to get close to the exit. The whole time seldom camping out like the first time probably having learned there lesson about the whole sleeping out in the open thing they rightfully had a member awake while they slept. Day by day they kept moving occasionally I'd spot something new or get a chance to see there maps or books while hiding in there cloths. At one point I saw those strange reptiles from before I guess it was my first kill while in plant form as one of them had eaten one of my fruit back when they were always toxic. Curious as to what they were I moved a extra pigeon from one of the guys and placed it on a reptile that was hiding from the group after witnessing a few of his kin get slaughtered. As I came into contact with the strange reptile I closed my eye as I focused my will onto identifying the creature hoping it'd work. With a ring yet again Alex sent a bit of information to my closed eyes.

*"Drake" Divine Beast of Flame's follower*

Hmm so there's other divine creatures in this cavern? Interesting and the exact opposite of me to boot? Sound a lot like an ultimate boss. I chuckle a bit at the fact that I'm not alone as whatever I am but realize that it's more likely to be a enemy then a friend. Not to mention it has a name... I was left as unknown. However it uses it's title as a name? I guess a drake following a divine beast of flame makes a lot of sense anyways. A drake is supposedly a wingless dragon or a young dragon depending on who you ask... Guess this is the wingless variety. As I ponder the possibility of seeing a dragon and this new divine beast I wait patiently trying to memorize the path back to the drakes home in hopes of spotting this new divine beast. I'll probably need to get the water elemental and or polar bears on my side to be able to fight a fire elemental let alone a divine beast of flame.

While watching the drake I began to ponder the idea of trying to recruit the polar bears or water elemental to my side and possible other solutions to such a fiery enemy my light cannons probably won't have a huge effect. Should I try to obtain a new ability? How even would I? I gained light from the skill select before even becoming a germ didn't I? However in the past light leveled up by experiencing more light maybe I can develop resistance to fire by getting hit by fire or a water or ice skill by getting closer to said elements... Or not I don't know exactly how this all works. Maybe I'll have to become a different species and develop the new skills into that there inherent state to get the new skills. However if I change species will I lose other skills? I don't see why a fire elemental for instance would have roots. Or be able to eat the light its self or gain nutrients from the soil but then again what even would a fire elemental eat? I'm a plant so of course a living creature who eats. A fire elemental would be magical right? Would they just eat magic? If so I have or had a seemingly infinite pool of mana would I ever have to worry about food as a elemental?

Eventually the drake reached a larger tunnel that began to expand as it got deeper we've been traveling for quite some time and have gone down most of this time how deep is the divine fire elemental's base? Is it more comfortable closer to the center of the earth? I would have guessed it would have liked being at the surface in the sun light. Not to mention a dragon is a flying creature it would suck for a dragon to be in a deep cave it's too big to ever leave like a bird in a cage. I guess if it's home is large enough even if it's just a cavern it should have enough space to fly.

As the drake approached the mouth of a cavern I noticed what appeared to be a wall of flame. Guess the fire elemental takes advantage of it's natural incorporeal state to prevent anything but it's followers from entering. Either way I can't really stick to this drake any longer I'll have to plant myself near this wall of flame as a spy of sorts. After digging myself deep and developing a few roots and a hidden cannon I used the once pigeons new growing body to produce a few more pigeons and do the same a few more time filling the cavern before the wall of flame with hidden cannons hopefully it will come in handy later.

After setting it all up I moved my perspective back towards the other pigeon spies I had sent out that were still on the humans. They were still traveling back slowly but surely they were getting closer to the exit. Occasionally I'd notice one of my old roots still sitting around normally as it radiated light keeping the cavern well lite.
