14 Spirit Horned Rabbit

I focus on the spirit and time seems to slow down. Everything turns black and all I see is a blue tinged transparent horned rabbit. I focus my mind on the spirit.

I seem to feel a connection forming. I have a feeling that this horned rabbit is laughing at me. I get annoyed for a split second then focus again. I try to convey that fighting is not for me. I feel like the rabbit is giving me a duh.

I try to put forth the feeling of comradory. As I focus on it, I feel a slight disconnect. I wonder if we can just talk? I know none of the spirit shaman information that was jammed into my head say it can be done but let's try.

'Hello, I am Jack. As you can see, I suck at fighting. I am very timid and prefer to do stuff from the backlines. I would very much like it if you could team up with me."

"... Squeak squeak squeak"

Great I not realize why it was told that way. Good learning experience. I will just sit here and calm down for a bit. After what feels like 5 minutes, I try again.

I try to convey the feeling join me. I see the rabbit slowly hop towards me. As I think yes I got this. I see it stop and look ready to go.

Crap! I must not let anything but that one thought in my head or I will lose it. Please join, please join. I continue to chant that in my head.

After a bit, the rabbit chose to start coming again. Please join! It finally stops right before me. I try to not get my mixed feelings to come out. I am scared of it a little and also excited to have it join.

I slowly bend down to pat it on the back. As I do it starts to fuse with me and disappear. Color starts to return and I see I am in the same spot.

I feel a weak response from my wrist. I remember what brought me here, the Agrimony did.

I stumble on over to the agrimony as I am still weak. I try to figure out what to do. Do I touch it? If I do will I have to bond with it? I already have one. Getting another one will not be too helpful.

I will slowly reach for it with me left hand and see what happens. As I put my hand close I feel the Agrimony unwind from my wrist slowly and reach towards it. I push it towards it and see a response.

The Agrimony is absorbing the living one. I see it being drained and starting to turn brown and crispy. It died.

I see the Agrimony has grown another 2 flowers from the buds. It looks like it was able to regenerate its flowers from it and I hope it gets stronger.

I am so tired and hurt I slowly make my way back. As I stumble back to the village, I feel the [Life Bloom] disappear. I recast it as I feel a bit better.

As I make it to the guards with blood and my robe in taters with a horned rabbit in my hand. They are pointing and snickering between each other.

The guards say "Nice going 'hero'" "You are a born warrior" as they have a joking tone to it.

I go right into the guild to get something to eat and turn in the rabbit. "Here is your money, 1sp. If you need any healing please go to the clinic."

"Can I get some food please?"

"Sure, go wait at the table. Oh ya, the librarian was looking for you. Please visit them after you eat. You don't wanna see her when she is mad."

"I will do that, thanks for letting me know."
