{Friday chapters 1/3}
"All those corpses," Jack growled, "They don't seem to have died in a fight."
Withered, with no visible wounds or bruises. No sign of burning or smoke. Something killed all those fairies without inflicting damage.
{From the look of it, they starved to death. Lack of Mana.}
Arad approached one of the infected trees, touching the trunk with his eyes closed. "It's faint, but isn't this thing absorbing magic?"
Aella walked to Arad's side, touching the tree. "You're right, but it isn't absorbing all magic."
{Every living creature absorbs magic to stay alive. It's the same as their need for air. Those pixies are small but they need a lot of mana to survive. They suffocated to death.}
~Be careful! It's reacting!~ The fairy appeared on Arad's arm. He grabbed Aella by the arm and jumped back. Veins burst from the ground stabbing where he stood.
