Blessing of the mother

Morgana wakes up on her bed. She straightens herself and slowly opens her eyes. Then she looks at the air with surprise. There is a floating translucent purple message box just like a game HUD. She starts reading it:

[Dear daughter, this is my gift to you. The guiding system. It will help you in your journey. You must find its uses on your own. With love; your mother, Hecate.]

[The first quest of your life!: Find how to use the system.]

[Rewards:

- the knowledge, *Beginners instructions for controlling the mist!*

- the ability, *[Observe]*]

After reading the system message Morgana starts to think. 'How can I find a way to use the system? Mother says she takes inspiration from game systems. So there will be things like stats, skills, abilities, inventory, and so on. Maybe not all of them. But in games, you open them with the help of a controller. Maybe kind of a virtual gaming like the one's people use special glasses with their phones in it? I think asking my dad will be the best. He is a game maker and the inspiration source of my mother's blessing after all.' With these thoughts in mind, Morgana starts searching for her father. She find him without any struggle, the only thing she needs to do is following the coffee scent.

Mr.Nelson is sitting on his comfortable armchair without the comfort, one hand holding a cup of empty coffee while the other one taps to arm of the armchair with rhythm. He is so much in his own world, he doesn't even hear Morgana's steps. Seeing her father like that, Morgana calls him rather timidly:

Morgana: Uh, father? Are you okay?

Mr.Nelson: Oh Morgana, my dear! You are finally awake. How are you? Is anywhere hurts you?

Morgana: I am okay, father. I am not hurt but there is something I must ask you.

Mr:Nelson: What is it? You can ask me anything sweetie.

Morgana: Can you tell me about the controls of the game system you do.

Mr:Nelson: Huh? That wasn't a question I wait. This is about your mother's blessing, right? I thought she will give you instructions about how to use it.

Morgana: There is a quest, actually. It says ''Find a way to use the system.'' There are rewards too.

Mr.Nelson: Hımm, I see. She probably wants to use this as a chance to give you a gift. Even with blessing, she can't give you things without reason. This is why nearly all heroes in myths found some kind of a gift or weapon made by divine metal or something like that when they are in danger or danger comes near them. Okay now, try to say ''Status'' from inside. Just like speaking to yourself. You can probably do it loud too but it will be best to get used to silent usage.

Morgana: Okay father. 'Status'

When Morgana finally finish reading systems texts, a new text appears.

[The quest, *[The first quest of your life!: Find how to use the system.]* is completed.]

[As a reward you gain the skill, *[Observe]*.]

[As a reward you gain the knowledge *Beginners instructions for controlling the mist!*]

With the last text, Morgana sees the mist starts to condense and rush towards her head. After all the mist disappears, she has a new knowledge she hasn't before. Using her newly acquired knowledge, Morgana starts to control mist and create mini illusions of flying birds, dolphins swimming with ships, and many more. Seeing what can her daughter do, Mr.Nelson starts to give her ideas like '' What about dragons? Try a dragon sweetie!'', and the father-daughter duo loses themself in entertainment...
