"Hahaha!" laughed the old shaman as he got back on his feet.
"what you think? not bad for a hopeless, talentless, stubborn fool. huh?" said Azgard as he was panting due to the exhaustion.
"Well then, as promised. Meet me in the Fezra forest tomorrow, but do prepare yourself for tomorrow onwards, my teachings may be as hard as hell and this time you might even die if you don't do well. And yes, starting tomorrow, we will be staying in the forest." said the old shaman
"Haha, thats no problem, i got used to living in the wild."
" On yes, there is one thing i forgot. we will be moving deeper into Sul vi Fezran forest." [ 1 ]
"What! but that place is forbidden for humans to enter!"
"That place is forbidden to faithless humans! And who ever said i am a human?" Shouted the old shaman
" What!! you are not?!? anyways, even if you are not, i still am!"
" I am a Shaman, my very soul is nature itself. And who ever said you are a human?"
"What!? What are you tal-."
" Shh.. Speak no more. More shall be revealed to you as time allows it. For not go and rest, much will be awaiting you tomorrow." said the old shaman as he walk into his room and repaired it with the power of nature.
Azgard then went to his room and was fast asleep as soon as he fell on his bed. Emma became even more worried after watching the match. She could'nt sleep and kept thinking waht the old man was going to do to Azgard.
" Ahhh... its so fustrating just thinking what that old man is gonna to him! Oh no, what if he tortures poor Azgard to death! I must stop this!! NO! wait, if i do that Azgard will never tal to me again!! AHH!!! WHAT am i gonna do!~" She kept mumbeling to herself.
And so morning came and Azgard started packing all his equipmet as well as some clothes. He then went into the forest and found the old shaman chanting something. As he walk towards the Shaman and was about to sit near him, the old shaman said," lets go"
And just as they were about to go, they heard a voice," STOP!! " they turn around and saw Emma running towards them.
" whats wrong Emma? Did something happened?"
"N-no, its just that i-i'm coming with you!"
"No! you can't!" he shouted
"Why not? I know i can be useful to you all. I am good at using medicine and healing spells! I really can help you!!"
"No, its too dangerous!! And I know I wont be able to do my best if i am worried about you all the time!"
"Nevermind, let her. Its true, her healing will be needed."
"But Grandpa!!..."
"Shhhh.. Don't disturb the spirits. Anyways, as long as i am here, there is sothing to worry about." said the old shaman as he walking deeper into the forest.
"Yay!! Haha, not you cant stop me!! " she smiled and dance around.
" Hurry up or you will get lost!" shouted the old man
"YES!!~" she shouted back and ran after the shaman.
Without being able to fight back, Azgard follow them with a unsatisfied heart.
After five hours of walking, they came to stop by a river. The young girl Emma went off looking for ingredients and poison mushrooms while the old Shaman went and meditate by a large boulder. At the same time, Azgard went to catch some fish as he was getting bored and hungry.
Azgard was surprised to see the number of fishes he caught using a net that he bought not long ago, he then started a fire and cooked the fish. Just as the fish was done being cooked, Emma came back, the old shaman too finished meditating. They then ate the fish togather and sat down for a while.
"Azgard, you still don't know what is your elemental powers do you? " asked te old man.
"No, no one told me anything about it till one day i was my friends praticing their elemental powers such as fire and water. And worse of all, I don't even know what elements are there in this world."
"well than, today i am a good mood so i will teach you about elements. Every living beings are given a gift at birth by God. This gift is one the elements that creates the universe. As time pass by, many never made use of their gift and it became dull and weak. And as time continues, many could not remember it and many was not told about it. Now in this era, almost three quarters of the human population do not know about the gift of God and many think that those who posses such powers are chosen ones to fight either for the good or the evil. But i think it is better this way, where many don't know about it. If they knew, many will use it even for the slightest arguement. Don't you think so?"
" well, when you put it that way, i guess so."
" Haha. Good. Now, the second this you need to know are the type of elements. The most basic and common elemants are Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning and Nature.Every element have strong and weak points, like Fire is weak against water, and water is weak against lightning, and lightning is weak against wind, and wind is weak against earth, and earth is weak againts nature, and nature is weak against Fire."
" So this whole thing is like a circle, one against another. But what about elements such as lightning against fire?"
"Haha, good question. That all depends on the master. If the fire master is stronger, so is his elemant which makes it win against lightning, and also vice versa. Not only that, sometimes an element also can make another element stronger too. Like when fire and earth are put togather, it forms molten rocks or magma. And the stronger master between these two will be able to control it. There are also many other things that could happen between different elements, most of it are not known even to me."
" I see, are there people with morethat one elements?"
" Yes, many among those who can use it actually have more that one. But only very few of them are given two gifts during birth. Most of them obtain it through harsh training or with the use of artifact. But there are also people that are given a second gift after a certain age in life."
"Are there people with more that two elements?"
"yes there are, but only one in every hundred million people. Anyways, there are also rare elements in this world such as Metal, sound and animal."
"sound and animal? what you means animal? and whet is so rare about metal?"
"yes, sound and animal... these three elements are different from common elements because only few has it and unlike common elements, those who posses these can only use it to a given way. For example Metal, is split into three ways which is - to become metal, - to produce metal and - to manipulate matel. So far i have never seen anyone capable of using even two out of these three ways. As for Sound, or i could say, wave, is split into these, - to displace sound, -to produce sound(wave), as well as -to manipulate sound. And animal, is actually the ability that concerns animal, it is also known as the element of the wild. This does not allow you to produce animals in anyway. Element of the wild is split into these, - to communicate with the wild , -to tame the wild, - metamorphism as well as - recreation."
"I still don't think i truely get it."
"Nevermind, leave it for another time. Right now, its time for use to find out your element!"
"YES!! but... how?"
The old shaman then took a metal cup and left it on a small rock, he filled it with water and place a leaf on it.
"come sit by the cup. Place your hands near the cup and meditate. Put all your feeling into it, anger, happiness, fear, sadness and everything else you have into your mind. Let your body be filled power, let the spirit run through your veins and let your blood rush as fast as possible! Feed yourself with emotion!! And release your emotions!! Let everything OUT!! scream, shout!! do everything you want!! go mad and berserk!!"
Azgard did what was told as the shaman kept shouting on an on. Suddenly Azgard Shouted and ....
