21 a village to burn (1/2)
Keno awoke, he still felt slightly exhausted and his muscles seemed way too relaxed for him just waking up. He could still remember small segments of the night before, the horned rabbit talking, him following it to a hollowed out tree and falling asleep in that tree. But he had more pressing matters to attend to, because when he looked up he saw something he never thought he would ever see... A spirit of nature. She was very pretty but the fire in her eyes and the warmth of the air around her showed him that she was dangerous. He sat there dumbfounded and waited for her to speak.

Qu looked down at the boy as he sat there looking up at her, so she finally went to break the silence seeing that the boy didn't seem to want to break it himself. ”Hello child, i but only have a few questions for you and if you play your cards right then you may just survive another day”
All the boy did was nod and wait with utter fear etched into his eyes.
”My first question, why are you in my forest?”, the boy responded to Qu, ”i was just looking for my brother, i was tracking his earth magic from a couple nights before”. As soon as he said this Qu knew exactly who the kid was looking for.
”Now for another question, how far away is the nearest settlement and what species make it up?”, the boy then told her ”Just a day or two walk from this area, and mainly humans make it up but a few elves and dwarfs live there and maybe some types of half breeds”.
”And finally, what is the highest rank person in that village,and i want to know everything about that person”, the boy sat and thought for a little while before finally responding, ”the highest ranked person is at the middle of 'rare' rank, his name is 'para cantorp' and he is a human, he specialises in a strange type of magic that he gives very little information on, but from the bits and pieces that the village has seen him do it has something to do with blood or life force or something”
After getting given all this useful information, she chose to be nice to him and allow him to leave with is life, but just before the boy started to walk of he stomached up the courage to ask her name. ”Qu” was all she replied with, and soon afterwards the boy left her sight.
She went back into her tree and went back to her elemental human form, it was surprising just how much her head weighed when she had horns on her head. But she got little time to react as her system had finally chose to show itself.

”Congratulations, you managed to go through a full conversation without killing someone.
But you better not go into that town and go on a rampage, i could see the bloodlust in your eyes when that poor boy told you about other species”

And like per usual, it was annoying her.
