Nature Spiritual Power?

Viscount Windsor:- This child isn't infected. It was cruel enough for her to see her parents die right in front of her eyes. She should not be tormented more. You all should remember how generous and brave her father was when he was alive and well. She should be respected as his one and only heir.

By that statement, he took her to his home. At the first sight, Viscountess Windsor fell in admiration for her. She kept her and raised her with her childs. Later she wanted to follow her father's footsteps and started training under Viscount's protection.

Lucas:- Ra… Nora… Nora Floid!! (He was calling her for quite a time as she didn't heard him, he raised his voice a little.))

Nora:- H-Huh? 

Zen:- What are you thinking Nora? Lucas called you many times.

Nora:- Oh. I'm sorry. I was thinking about something. Why were you calling me?

Lucas:- We need to start again, don't we? I was calling you cause we are leaving. 

Valda:- What were you thinking, pretty lady? You didn't tell me your names either. Master and Zen have already told their names.

Nora:- Oh? I'm Nora Floid, nice to meet you. Wait a minute. Who did you just call master? 

Zen:- It's Lucas. He saved her life and also suggested taking her under our wings. So now she is clinging onto him, addressing him as her master.

Nora:- O-ow. 

Growl!!! Suddenly a large growling was heard again. The ground started to shake. All of them get startled.

Valda:- Kyaa!! The bad bears are coming again!! (She flew to Lucas and hid in his shirt's pocket.)

They thought it might really be a bear but the movement of the ground was a little bit too much for a bear. They draw out their weapons. But to their surprise, it wasn't a bear but three monsters. The monsters start to attack them recklessly. Looks like they went rampant and roamed around the forest. While healing Valda, Lucas used a lot of his power. Which attracted them to this way. While fighting, all of them went in different directions. After a while, they realized they had lost each other. 

All of them were able to use their spirit power with a little stable grasp. Nora starts to use her spiritual power. She created a little storm to put the monster down. Then used an Aerokinetic wave to kill the monster. While on Lucas's side, he was using his double sword. But it got stuck in a tree. At that moment the monster was going to attack him but suddenly a protective shield arised. 

Valda:- I will not let you get harmed, master. 

Lucas smiled at her words. He pulled out his sword once again and awakened his spiritual power. His tattoo appeared once again in his sword. He used a few plant aura slash (sword attack) and killed the monster too. Then he saw Nora coming toward him.

Lucas:- Nora! You are here. How did you find us? 

Nora:- I used my power of Aerokinetic Hearing. But where is Zen?

Lucas:- I don't know.

On Zen's side, the monster which was behind him was even larger and crazier than the monsters which were behind Lucas and Nora. Zen was also using his spirit power and attacking continuously but the monster didn't die. Abruptly he stumbled upon a stone and fell down. His sword fell from his hand. The monster charged toward him at full speed. He thought he was now done for. But suddenly a green light flashed. When he opened his eyes and the flash of light subsided he saw the plants in front of him was defending him from getting hit. He thought it must be Lucas's power. He looked around but no one was in sight. When he saw a figure once again.

Nature Spirit:- Mighty warrior. It's you who is the fortunate one. Use the nature spirit along with others for greater good. 

Zen:- H-huh? Another power?

He was confused but he took the chance to grab his sword once again. As soon as he touched his sword, it again changed its shape but this time in another design. The outline was green and plant design. He understood that he achieves another spiritual power but can't make sense of it. He couldn't think much since the plant shield dissipates. He raises his sword toward the monster and swings with all of his power. It's Blade Aura Blast. The monster died. He was panting due to exhaustion. 

Soon Nora and Lucas reached Zen as Nora using her Aerokinetic Hearing ability. Zen was standing backside. 

Lucas:- Zen. There you are. Are you okay? 

Zen:- Uh. Yeah. I'm fine. (He turned back them)

As he turned back Nora and Lucas were struck with surprise. His pupil is now green and his blade design is different too. And this design indicates nature's power. His eyes turned back to normal. He slumped to the ground. Lucas quickly goes to him and supports him. Nora brought out the water bottle out of the bag and sprinkled some water on his face. A few minutes later he regained his composure. 

Lucas:- Are you okay, Zen? 

Zen:- I'm fine. 

Nora:- You don't look fine, Zen. Are you really okay?

Zen:- Sigh. I am okay. It's just that I'm worried about myself. What the hell is wrong with me? Awaking thunder and air spiritual power wasn't enough and now nature? Why are there so many awkward things about me?

Nora:- Zen. I understand you are worried. But hold on a little more. I'm sure we will be able to find someone who knows more about spiritual powers in Nocture. 

Zen: - I hope so. 

Lucas:- Wait. Valda?. 

Valda:- Yes, master? (She flied out from Lucas's pocket and stopped in front of him)

Lucas:- You are a spirit yourself. Do you perhaps know anything?

Valda:- my apologies master. But I am unaware about it. I didn't get the chance to learn about these things.

Lucas:- I see. Then there is nothing to do but wait.
