5 Meeting the water elementals (1/2)
The trio left the starting village and started to walk towards the distant lake. ”Who is this?” Princess asked her brother. She was quite curious about this female her brother brought along. Her brother normally didn't socialize in real life so having a new friend in game was surprise to her.
”This is Shiarra, she is the one who has a quest that could use our assistance.”
The woman in armor nodded. ”As I told your brother, I want to befriend the water elementals I hope they will be willing to help save another nearby village from a drought.”
”Oh, and how are we going to do that?” Princess questioned.
Shiarra pointed to the sky. ”The two of you are going to make it rain and we are going to hope something will work out. If it turns south I will try to block them while you two run.”
The two girls enjoyed a great conversation as they traveled, mostly talking about Jericho. As if to solidify their newfound camaraderie they registered each other as in-game friends.
They walked to the shore of the large lake where they saw water elementals frolicking in the waves, wandering the marshy spots, and standing perfectly still as if sleeping.
{Humans have come again. Humans are mean to us, if they come let's get rid of them.} One of the water elementals said.
Jericho looked over and then back to his sister and companion. ”Can you two hear them speaking?” He inquired.
”They are talking?” Princess asked back, answering his question indirectly.
Shiarra shook her head.
Jericho half smiled as he recalled one of the skill books he picked up earlier. ”Shiarra, are water elementals considered spirits?” He asked to confirm his suspicion.
”Yeah, elementals are often referred to as the spirits of the elements.” She replied.
”It seems I can communicate with them. Earlier I picked up the skill, speak with spirits. This may be more feasible then we thought.” His smile grew larger. ”Princess, lets perform for these spirits.”
Jericho pulled out the violin and started plucking the strings. His sister started dancing.
{The human calls for us?}
{Two of them do! How strange?}
The elementals gathered around the duo and started moving around like they were dancing with Dancing Princess.
The performance finished and rain fell.
{These humans are like us!} One of them shouted. {Call the eldest!}
Some of the elementals dashed into the water while the current largest elemental turned to them. {Greetings, humans who are connected to the water, are you capable of speech?}
Jericho stepped forward hoping he was activating his ability right. {I am. The others haven't learned yet. I will communicate on their behalf. My name is Jericho the Bard. The young elf is Dancing Princess, and the warrior is Shiarra. What is your name?}
{They call my Glawio. I am the second eldest among the elementals here. Please wait a moment for the eldest to come. Until then, can you play your music and have the young elf dance again? It made my siblings very pleased.}
{Of course,} he turned to his sister. ”They are requesting an encore.” He started playing again.
As the performance neared its end a large elemental emerged from the lake.
