27 RNG: Texan In Another World - V2.14 - Greensong (1/2)

Mike held Cara in his arm wanting to console her but he couldn't find the words. To him, being a father was something he had always wanted to do. He thought that maybe it was that he was human, and that she was Poocha. After the remodel of his body there still hadn't been any change. Cara couldn't reconcile herself, her bawling made the others cry.

Mike decided to take Cara down to the Throne Room, It was better than leaving her to stir up feelings in a crowded room of gamblers.

”I don't understand!” Cara threw herself onto the bed and just cried. Mike and Cara had this conversation a few times. She wasn't shy on her wants. An heir gave her a sense of permanence in Mike's life, what Cara was most afraid of was abandonment.

”You're going to raise a child, sometimes life takes your ability to have a baby and leaves you to appreciate the children of others. Maybe we can adopt a child in a few years or, maybe one of your sisters will have a baby and you can all share.” Mike really didn't know what to say on the matter.

In Texas his backyard would be on fire.

”I know, but... ” Cara was going to wail again but she stopped herself.

They stayed in the cave for about an hour. Cara kept insisting she wanted a baby of her own, but in the end she calmed down.

”Lets get you back to the others, I promise we'll think of something.”

”I've got some studying and work to get to.”

”You and me will be fine, Lets go see what the others are doing.” Mike felt like he was lying a bit and it broke his heart some, He really wanted children but as time passed he grew even more aware of the differences between their species.

Passing one of the newly planted seedlings mike noticed a new color. The leaves were turning Blue.

Mike couldn't help but take a closer look and saw that it contained a lot more of magic than the others.

”Wow.” Mike looked at the unfurling leaves.

He had seen some vivid coloration on Cannabis, everything from yellow to green, to neon orange and purple like a Lakers logo. It was Mike's first time ever seeing a Blue leafed plant. He wanted it to grow faster but He couldn't think of anything that could speed it up, just light.

Mike cast another light spell on a few gold coins and scattered them near the blue plant, if nothing else it would get more light an perhaps grow faster. Mike understood most of the principles behind growth. Plants reach out to light and grew to expend energy. By putting the light so close to the plant he took the reaching part of the equation, and put it directly into his hands.

Mike would come back later to check on it and make sure its not burning or worse. Cara was still waiting for him by the Tunnel entrance. He gave an apology and the pair made it up the ladder and closed the doors behind them.

It was going to rain again. There had been storm clouds circling the city for a few hours.

Georgia was laughing and sitting near Harry's shoulder outside of the Casino. As a Rabin she had excellent hearing but Harry was her guard for the afternoon of collecting.

Mike showed his appreciation and thanked her for her hard work with a gentle nod of approval and went on his way.

”LETS GO HARRY!” Georgia cried out in a teasing tone.

Harry grinned, picked Georgia up and walked toward the docks.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Mike grabbed some books from his study in the house and went back down to the Throne Room. He had a lot of practicing to do, and a lot of reading to do.

Sitting on the bed and enjoying the sweet aroma of the grow, Mike felt like he was finally at peace.

When he took out the book on Alchemical Ingredients, he remembered his headache from the last time he tried to figure out what sorts of things were actually ingredients. Mike sank his Titan Source power into the book, ignoring the spiritual sense entirely.

A bright light flashed across his eyes and Mike almost instantly knew all the ingredients, it did hurt his head. The information wasn't just a little bit, It was the summary knowledge of Fourth Titan re-emerging and manifesting.

”Whoa” Mike stopped himself from falling off the edge of the bed, he was a bit stunned by the sudden revelation happening inside his brain.

'I wonder if Titan's Source can help me learn all these subjects faster' Mike experimented with another book on Talismans. Sinking the Titan's Source into the book, another bright light flashed across his eyes. Mike instantly understood most of the Talismans described in the book, he would still need a lot of practice to get them to perfection.

If he drew the circles concentrically and then wrote the characters onto the sheet of paper Mike could make his Talismans work twice as hard as before. He only had experience with low level Talismans, but Third Titan was very familiar with Talisman construction.

Mike understood the quality of paper was a driving reason for failure or success.

Putting the finished Talisman away, Mike walked over to the edge of the Alter and thought about trying to lift it. He had to dismiss it of course, the Alter was just too large and probably weighed as much as a house.

Thinking about his days in the boondocks Mike felt like he should try something. Mike dug out the corners of the base of the Alter, he had to dig another few feet down to get to its base.

When he was finally underneath it he started to tunnel toward the middle and found exactly what was laying underneath the Alter. A glowing green orb, much like the Titan's Source liquid that Mike had seen before was floating below the alter. He wanted to find out what it was, so he reached out his Titan sense and looked into the Green Titan Orb.

Mike could hear voices, trapped voices and screaming. He could feel the wind blow and the sun shine, he could feel the water cresting the waves on the shoreline of the City. Mike was even feeling the warm temperatures that made up the storm clouds.

”Amazing” Mike withdrew his titan sense and used his spiritual sense instead.

A few images came into his head of the same things, mike could see the wind and sun, the water and the clouds. However, that was the majority of what he could see. The differences were just too great.

”Interesting.” Mike put his hands on his head when the headache had intensified. He thought maybe he had overworked his nerves or body, So Mike got out from underneath the Alter and laid down on the bed. It didn't take long for him to nod off, he was happy to relax now that his responsibility had taken such a sharp change.

He had a lot to think about, and Mike had always been a lucid dreamer. He could manipulate his dreams and enjoy them even if he couldn't remember the details he could still do what he wanted. Mike's dream this time was of him jumping from rooftop to rooftop. On Earth if your dreams are about jumping over things, It suppose to be good news and a positive thing.

Mike could just do this in real life now, the Irony wasn't lost on him.

While dreaming about jumping across the City in a single bound, Mike noticed scrambled words above his city in a circular formation. The spell circle was multi-colored and enormous, the center cartography that resembled the old city started to change and morph. Mike couldn't read the spell circle, but he could definitely observe its action.
