29 Eye of the Midnight Sun (1/2)
As I was standing in the entrance of the castle, I turned around for a quick look at the battle scene behind me.
The ceiling was ruined and looked like a horrible amalgamation, the space around where Rill and I where fighting had tons of giant gashes and marks in it from the dragons and our fight.
Everything was just destroyed from our huge fight and would take a while to repair.
Turning around to leave I started to hear some people run into the room. I didn't even turn around to look because I knew that if I did, they would try to attack me immediately.
I rushed out into the open area and made a broom using creation magic. My broom I was using previously was still in my room as I wasn't smart enough to bring it with me.
Flying off, I started having a premonition that something was about to hit me so I quickly flew downwards slightly on my broom. Just above my head a spear of bronze went by. Tons of other spells and magic where thrown at me but none where as close as the bronze spear.
Adding more magic to the broom I increased its speed and continued to hurriedly go to the Gravito Rock Zone.
After around a minute I no longer had constant spells being fired off at me. Taking a quick peak back showed that a couple of people where behind me trying to catch up.
I used a bit of space magic to create a invisible barrier that made whoever enter it get stuck. It was very similar to a sticky fly trap. Leaving it there, I continued going as quickly as I could while supplying more and more mana to the trap.
After about one hour of constantly supplying mana to the trap, I finally let it go and released the spell. I was about a eighth of the way to the base of the Eye of the Midnight Sun which was the elves base. Sadly I still have a long way to go and now that the five hour energy has worn off, I'm starting to feel very very tired.
Slowly letting go of my control over the broom, I descended more and more while falling into a deeper and deeper sleep. By the time I reached the ground I was asleep.
~~12 Hours Later~~
*Large Yawn*
'System, why does my body hurt so much?' I asked after getting off of the ground
[You crash landed after running out of energy in your body.]
'Yeah, I guess that makes sense.' I thought while already casting some healing magic on myself
Looking around I saw nothing but trees upon trees around me. Finishing up the healing, I got onto my broom and lifted myself up into the air.
Falling asleep made me lose a bunch of time and my sense of direction for where I needed to go. Making a compass appear, I used it trying to find out which way was which.
After turning around constantly for a solid minute I finally said, ”Welp, compasses don't work on this world I guess”
Throwing it behind my back, I picked up my broom and picked a random direction.
Traveling that way for around three hours eventually brought me out to a small village with a couple of houses around. Landing down near the entrance of the town, I got off my broom and put into my inventory.
Then I walked into town and started looking around for people that would be able to help and give me directions. Most of the people I walked up to just stared at me without talking or even moving as if they where some kind of doll.
I knew they where alive though because they would turn around when I first started talking to them.After attempting to talk to ten people, I decided to rush to what would seem like the leading authority in this village. Finding it instantly, I banged on the door for someone to answer.
After a minute of on and off banging, a old man opened the door and said, ”Quit your banging! I'm here now, so stop it!”
He then looked me up and down and said, ”What do you need kid.” with a face of disgust
”Hi, yes. I need some directions if you could.”
”No.” He responded simply and shut the door on my face
'How rude.' I simply thought
I continued banging on his door again after this for a long time before he opened the door again. This time though he had his Grimoire open and was in the middle of casting a spell.
”Stop.” I said quickly using Kotodama Magic
He instantly stopped moving, casting his spell, and everything else. I didn't want to use this magic that much because it acts against the person's free will and if I had it used against me, I feel like I would despise it. Sadly I had to use this to figure out where I was and how to get to where I need to be.
”Allow me in.”
He then moved in front of the door and put a arm into his house to imply that I was free to enter. I walked in and then gave him another command using Kotodama Magic.
”Explain to me what is happening.”
”This village was built away from people to try and get away from the Nobles who hate all of us so much. We despise anyone isn't from here and will never accept them. You are not wanted here.” he said
I just simply nodded my head slowly upon hearing this.
”Yeah that's fine. I just need some information and directions. Then I will go and leave you to yourself.”
