The dreams were always slow to showtime, but quick to turn to horrible flashes.
A woods, dark trees trying to close off all paths. A arid field, hushed whispers of men talking furiously, information technology was common cold... It was always cold.
Then a train.
The audio of the car on the tracks then the explosion.
And like clockwork, Jeyna opened her eyes slowly, the sound of the train fading away like the dream itself.
"I actually hate trains," she sighed as she sabbatum up, rubbing her eyes as the sun peeked through the soft white lace of her bedroom window. She weighed the pros and cons of going back to sleep.
Pros? More sleep.
Cons: Missing breakfast.
Her stomach won, but just barely.
Climbing out of bed, she ran a manus through her black hair, trying to go the bird's nest to lay flat without resorting to a brush. Jeyna wished her hair would either stay short or grow long, non this in between middle-human being stuff information technology did by being around her cervix.
Going to the window she pushed the window open, letting a prissy breeze enter the room as she gazed out over Waywood Hamlet, a brilliant blue sky coming in clear through the forest branches. The olfactory property of sawdust and wildflowers was thick.
Another beautiful mean solar day in the middle of nowhere with a population of 80 people. Jeyna wasn't certain how big that was, but someone one time said a town had over two hundred people hands! The paradigm made her head spin of so many people in one place, just she hurried to get dressed every bit she could hear nutrient beingness plated.
She stepped out in dark-brown shorts and a slightly oversized t shirt bearing the logo of axe in a stump, a local company promo-shirt she got as a gift once.
Her gawky eight year old cocky looked back at her, her teeth slightly besides large at the front and ears a trivial too outwards. She had a prissy nose, quite narrow.
"Money, shoes, and will to not to scream if someone asks me 'what'southward new'," Jeyna said, patting herself for each item.
She headed downstairs to the local church where she, and two other kids, seated themselves as the kindly Aunt Hafia cooked eggs and poured Nonmioi Fruit juice.
"I'm getting taken on my first logging lessons today," the slightly older Maslion bragged, his ten yr old status similar a medal Jeyna secretly desired. The boy had a nice confront when he wasn't smirking, but Jeyna ofttimes liked to tell him he looked like a forest toad to make certain his ego was kept in check.
Information technology was merely salubrious.
"I'm going to become taught Pointer Magic," said the quiet Ansez. Maslion deflated like the younger girl had poked him with a needle.
"Yous got accustomed?" Jeyna asked, a little shocked. She knew Ansez had been somewhat scouted by the hunter'southward leader, but to know she got in was news.
"I approximate and then," Ansez said, smiling down into her porridge.
The image of a six-foot Ansez in animal skins and a knife between her teeth popped into Jeyna's listen as the imaginary Ansez raised a bow and arrow, setting the whole matter on fire earlier she shot down a dragon.
"You're imagining something weird again," Ansez said, worried.
"No! I was thinking about-" Jeyna thought quickly, "-carrots," she finished lamely.
Ansez touched a strand of her red hair with a glower.
"Enough bickering, I'm all terribly excited for you all today. Y'all all grew upwards so fast," she said, arriving with more bacon and a smiling.
"You can't forget virtually your honey aunty when you're all famous," she sniffed, her grey hair and soft features crinkled as if she would cry at that place and so. The kids all shared a look knowing it was pretty hard to avoid someone in a village of eighty people...
"What are yous going to practise, Jey?" Maslion asked, cheeks bulging with egg. Jeyna looked at him with a curled lip. Boys were so nasty.
"I'thousand going to help Dr. Wielad," she said casually, speaking around bites of bacon.
The name brought back the ghostly haunting racket of the train.
The dr. was supposedly the one who found her off the beaten rail, supposedly never knowing a train crashed two miles down the rail from where Jeyna was found.
Perhaps it was how she was establish or her dislike of trains, but when asked if she wanted to choose a last proper name, Jeyna had constitute one rather easily.
Her name was Jeyna Freerail and today, she was going to be a Wizard.
---
"I ain't a Wizard," Dr. Wielad said with a long, suffering sigh equally Jeyna turned up at his doorstep again.
Jeyna was prepared for this and pulled out a squirming little salamander creature that glowed light-green.
"I take your powerful familiar," she said triumphantly. The Dco gave information technology a await.
"It'south a spirit, not a familiar. Big divergence and it has a chore of eating any pests that endeavor to become into the village well so drop it and let it get back to work," he said gruffly in 1 of 'those' tones. Jeyna did so with a sulky glare as she watched the salamander scuttle away with angry hissing noises.
She spent a week trying to capture that thing...
"Wizards use magic," she pointed out as she followed the Doc inside his home. The house was the farest out from the hamlet as the human liked to grow his ain herbs and enforce privacy. Jeyna never cared for either and then she knew exactly what information technology looked like on the within.
A wall full of quondam books that had words that Jeyna thought she could pronounce and the doc only nodded... but someone corrected her later on revealing the Doc wasn't actually listening to her when she was reading aloud. The other wall has a tabular array for mixing herbs along with tools that looked like they would torture you if y'all were naughty.
Doc's principal space was a table where he had a bunch of carvings and open books.
"Wizards are those who use magic to augment their lifestyles and ways of life. I am a dr. who sometimes needs to use magic to cure a magic disease," Doc said, the words sounding similar something Jeyna had heard a few dozen times.
"And the lizard?" Jeyna asked curiously.
"...Helping easily, only my magic isn't that impressive. It's mostly cobbled together from lesser arts of more than popular Seith magic. Information technology'south less popular due to the fact you don't manipulate or enslave spirits or souls, thus making the path to mastering art much harder," Doc lectured.
"So, why don't you try and ask Terna to learn Arrow Magic like little Ansez?" he tried to say, looking towards the door with hopeful eyes.
"Arrow magic is lame," Jeyna said every bit maturely equally her eight yr onetime self could. The truth was she had been rejected. The hunters didn't want Jeyna. So... information technology could only mean that Jeyna was no practiced or their magic was no good... Jeyna merely liked one of those options right at present.
"They're... traditional in their selection. They choice out those whose temperaments are already cool and collected. It cuts downwards on mistakes. One good hunter is worth x bumbling ones," Medico Wielad agreed after a moment, obviously seeing through Jeyna's words.
"Yep, just wait until Ansez notices boys or she stops beingness so meek," Jeyna said with a scowl before she felt a piddling bad.
Ansez was a nice person, information technology wasn't her fault she was ameliorate at Pointer Magic than Jeyna. No, this beef was between her and Terna.
The hunter leader was a mean conduct and Jeyna wouldn't heed if he stepped on a pinecone.
But if the doc didn't accept her on as an apprentice. Jeyna would take to become a seamstress or a farmer's hand, skinning whatever game Ansez brought back or preparing the logs Maslion cut downward...
Doc rubbed a hand through his dark green hair, eyes airtight in thought.
"It's not strong magic," he cautioned again.
His magic could be conjuring pillows or forcing people to do jumping jacks and Jeyna would still be as eager.
"Information technology'due south fine," she promised.
"You're likewise going to be taking over my herb picking, delivering medicine, taking requests, and cooking meals," he said abruptly, arms crossed equally his amber optics locked on to Jeyna's stake grey ones.
Was he request for an apprentice or a maid?!
The image of herself in fifty years nonetheless skinning woods pigs with wrinkles and expressionless eyes popped into Jeyna's mind if she said no. And so her ancient self turned to bones and some necromancer enchanted her to rising only to transport her dorsum to milking the cows.
It was a nightmare.
"You... need to stop thinking weird things, y'all await like you're dying," Doc said with a sigh.
"Do y'all want your eggs scrambled or fried?" Jeyna said, vocalism becoming serious. Doc Wielad smiled briefly, making him seem five years younger.
"I don't eat eggs," he said simply.
Well, shoot... There went the merely thing Jeyna knew how to cook and she had planned to cook information technology for the side by side few years in dissimilar ways to disguise her skills.
"Just I have one condition," he said and his face became more serious than anything Jeyna had ever seen.
"Y-es?" she replied slowly.
"You lot must concord to never willingly aid a demon unless your life is on the line equally well," he said flatly.
"Sure!" Jeyna agreed easily.
There was a beat of silence.
"Yous have no idea what a demon really is, do you?" the Medico asked a moment later with a pained vocalism.
"Like a monster but with more than horns and wings! They usually suck your toes and cackle," Jeyna said breezily, confidently.
"I don't-"
"And Beoit from the market says his married woman is i considering she won't let him potable and make kissy with the barmaid," Jeyna went on, just as confident.
"Lesson 1 shall be near gossip..." her new awesome magician teacher said finally.
Jeyna was about to take the all-time time of her life.

*Two years after. X776*
Two legs wriggled, half buried in a burrow as the daughter inside reached for silver roots of a nearby tree. With some attempt, she pulled herself free with the sound of a popped cork. Jeyna blinked equally loose soil and smudges covered her face. Her black pilus now pulled down to the correct side of her cervix in a ponytail. She grinned as she held upwardly the roots she had been searching for.
Her teeth were yet on the larger size, but when she grinned, she had developed full dimples that she thought were pretty cute.
It was a shame that field work was such messy work or she could wear her cute shorts and overly large shirts she stole from Maslion who was growing like a beanstalk.
"One set of Vein Roots obtained," she said, putting them inside a wrapping inside the nearby satchel.
"And you just took an hour this time," came the grouchy voice of her companion. Her smile fell away to be replaced with a glare equally she stared at the glowing cadger on a nearby rock, sunbathing.
"Grander, I take no idea why Doc fifty-fifty keeps you lot around. You sit... consume... and complain," Jeyna said, pointing a finger at the lazy spirit.
"That makes two of us, merely you lot don't see me throwing accusations at you," Grander yawned, showing the pink mouth and tongue.
Jeyna would throw the lizard into a nearby lake, but she only gathered her stuff, eager to go dorsum as the Master said he had a surprise for her when she returned.
Jeyna wasn't sure when Medico became Master, but the man turned out to be a strict teacher and the reluctant md was replaced by a taskmaster that made Jeyna almost yearn for skinning animals.
Well-nigh.
She aptitude downward and scooped up Grander without a word.
Despite their arguing, the cadger was a sort of friend. He seemed to hold a grudge for a while about the whole 'trapping him in a saucepan to use a blackmail' matter, but Jeyna had no such recollection of such a terrible event.
On the mode dorsum to Waywood Village, Jeyna felt the bear upon of fall coming to the woods, the trees were turning from their emerald green to a more vibrant yellowish and the current of air had picked up. Soon, Grander would be gone for a while. His agreement with the Principal was he didn't work in winter times, which since the insects died off and the forest was most tranquility, it fabricated sense.
She focused and in a moment, a walking staff appeared, a elementary branch she had whittled to a more slender shape.
It was good for residual and whacking annihilation that tried to snack on Jeyna when they thought she was defenceless. Re-Equip was the first magic she had ever learned, but the Primary was quite firm that she only ever stored her staff at that place.
Something about getting too 'used' to Re-Equip that it would halt her progression in the coming lessons.
As she rounded the corner, she spotted her home. She stayed in the 2d sleeping room of the Main'southward habitation every bit she was also learning his trade equally a healer along with magic so needed to be on hand to aid in a compression.
The well-nigh severe case was when a hunter came in with deep wounds in his breast bleeding around bone.
That had been harrowing, but the Chief had been collected and at-home.
It was inspirational to Jeyna, but she wouldn't say that aloud. It felt... like what a small child would say.
She dropped Grander on his favourite rock in the front end garden where he glanced up at the already dipping sun with disapproval as if the seasons should only alter when he accounted them ready.
Inside, her master looked the same as ever. He was similar trees in Waywood, old and unchanging.
"Main, I have the items," she called every bit he looked up from the desk.
"Whatsoever problem?" he asked every bit he eyed the dirt on Jeyna's clothes.
"Just Grander'southward mental attitude," she promised.
"A real threat," Wielad said dryly earlier he gestured for the bag and examined each item.
"You know what these are?" he asked and Jeyna was long used to the random and unpredictable questions... in one case he even woke her upwardly in the middle of the night to enquire near a herb.
"A branch of wood from the potentially oldest tree in the forest, some sort of Lacrima crystal enough to power a small device I picked up from the market, and Vein roots," she listed dutifully.
"The Vein roots are for my tea, but the branch and crystal are involved in your next lesson. You'll be making your first totem," he announced, a small smile on his face. Jeyna was nodding along, one-half-listening as she tidied upward his papers and automatically went to get a broom to sweep.
A totem, how dainty.
She paused.
"What?" she asked, turning around, eyes broad.
"Totem, magic, the whole reason you endured two years of unpaid internship?" Wielad said slowly and amused.
Jeyna was past his desk so fast she basically swept the floor with sheer frontward momentum force.
"I'm not just going to inherit Grander?" she said with excitement.
"I'g not a family heirloom!" Grander yelled through the open window.
"No, you lot're not. Your get-go totem should exist personal," her master explained.
She looked around, but later a moment, her Master reached into his pocket and put downwardly a rather large amulet looking thing made of ii scales pieces together and the sigil of the dominicus and a leaf on it.
"This is Grander'south totem. Tell me what a totem is and the things it needs to practise to be considered a true totem," he instructed.
"A totem is a sign and an anchor. It allows a wizard and spirit to connect and grade a bond, drawing on a spirit'south strength for magical energy of the wizard," Jeyna said, closing her eyes as she recited the words she nailed into her brain.
"A totem must be able to call a spirit, exist able to host a spirit, and if destroyed, reform over time from the spirit and wizard'southward desire to reconnect unless one or both parties refuse to proceed their partnership," she carried on, hoping she was right... she didn't want to miss out on making the totem.
"Indeed. At present, what you lot might not know is that every pick in making these totems affects the effect. The closest I could relate the fine art to is Celestial Keys. The gold keys are singular and merely open to i specific creature, while silver keys conjure from lesser spirit races. Totems can exist either aureate or silver depending how well you brand them, but often... information technology's easier to become depression budget," Wielad admitted, scratching his chin.
"Just there is 1 advantage over keys the totems take hands," her master said with a slight hint of pride.
"We create our keys, meaning it's very likely your spirits might be unique and more willing to cooperate if they have the totem. Silvers are mass produced and Golds are so singular yous need to exist exceedingly rich or lucky to take more than three," he went on. Jeyna was getting excited again.
"And so, can I make one," she asked and he stood up, vacating the chair and offered information technology to her. This was intense... the chair had been her master's and sitting in felt like a huge award. Would information technology spin and take her downwards to some secret totem cave?
Would it enhance her magic powers until she was bulging with ability?
"Stop making weird images in your caput and sit in the damn chair," Wielad pleaded. Jeyna sat and her rump had never experienced such... lavish softness. The chair was perfect. It had the right corporeality of cushion and firmness, it was just the correct height and distance for the desk-bound while it spun only slightly at her whims.
She leaned back and her spine sang a melody of joy.
Jeyna could merely inherit the chair.
Who needed magic?
Slowly, she sabbatum frontwards.
"Done believing in perfection?" her master asked as he sipped his tea. When did he make that?
"You lot may have to kill me to remove me," Jeyna agreed with a slight slurred tone.
In forepart of her were iii boxes.
"You take a base cloth, the wood. You lot take the Lacrima crystal to utilize in case your magic is low and we can drain it off that instead. However, before you finish designing the totem, I'll explain why the wood," he said as he tapped the three boxes.
"The base of a totem is what type or species of spirit you may conjure. Every spirit has a nature of give and have. Some will only need energy, but others crave further comittimets. This tree is the same i I conjured Grander from. The conditions or cost will be either low or simple. Starting with rock or some expensive metal might stop up making a totem you lot literally can't afford to use or the spirit volition interruption it permanently," he explained gently.
"Price? They're going to accuse me on top of the free energy I give?" Jeyna asked, uncertain now.
"Price is a bad discussion. It'southward more... a promise," Wielad admitted.
"What did y'all promise Grander?" Jeyna asked and the man looked to the window.
"Never to use him in a fight. It'due south that elementary," he said before looking back at Jeyna.
"Simply other spirits may require things. Some may but desire to be summoned at night, others just in battle, and then on," he went on.
"The next ingredient is magical energy, which yous have plenty now with simple practise of Re-Equip and good physical practise, but it's the final one that I go out down to you to cull," he said carefully, his dirty shirt shifting equally he opened each box.
The start box had a metallic fragment, the next had a calibration of sorts, and the final one has a feather.
"A magical ingredient to act every bit a catalyst to transform your totem from normal symbols to something magical," he said quietly. Jeyna reached for the feather, liking how information technology was sort of fluffy.
"You decided on the aspect of the sky for speed and mobility, I see," Wielad said with a nod.
"...Yes," Jeyna said without any emotion.
Afterward this, she was instructed to use a knife to make the branch into a rough symbol for the totem. Jeyna took a moment to think about what to apply... a fly? A rough bird?
Afterward a moment she started to get to piece of work, passing the hours as she removed layers of the branch until she was left with a sort mini-wand with a sigil of a feather floating through the cakewalk.
"An water ice-cream cone!" Wielad said, trying to sound pleasantly surprised.
"The sticky upward bit is a feather and this is a brawl of wind... what's an ice-foam cone?" Jeyna asked, optics narrowed.
"Demon food that ruins your healthy body, don't find it," the doctor said instantly as Jeyna slowly layered the feather over the totem like she had been taught. Inhaling once, she focused as she began to echo her Master'south words, flowing the energy inside of her.
It was then weird... if she practised Re-Equip a lot, this would absolutely suck to learn, but her magic was even so soft and squishy, she guessed.
Her hands began to get together energy before a magic circle suddenly expanded out from her hands. The magic circle spun in the air, showing information technology was golden that slowly became tinged with greenish. In the center there was a sigil like a door.
Drilled into her a hundred times over, Jeyna recited the spell, synchorious her will with the earth past announcing it. Something her Master promised did help wizards out.
"Worldly Guardian Magic: Calling!" she yelled, perhaps more emotionally than she meant to.
In that location was a build upwardly of magic and Jeyna felt utterly exhausted in a way she had never experienced before. Non even 10 Re-Equips a day with her staff toll this much energy!
Then the magic ended with a unmarried loud 'Ding Dong'.
The light died down and the totem was glowing.
Then something slowly emerged from the totem. It was a beast of sorts, a bird as large as one of those ravens that hung around the meat farm. It's feathers were a shimmering trail of blue that almost became black in places.
It had a long swooping crest on its caput that brushed downwards its dorsum and its beak was royal. When it finally opened its eyes, they were a deep red.
Jeyna almost squeaked or stammered, just she saw her Primary giving her an encouraging look. Correct, at that place was a ceremony to do. If she messed upwardly, the spirit could get offended or just attack her.
"Greetings, spirit from across. I humbly thank you for accepting the telephone call before annihilation," Jeyna said, one arm across her chest, her head tipped for a moment. The bird watched before Jeyna went on.
"I am Jeyna Railfree, I asked you to come here to ask for your permission to make you a totem spirit in a beneficial relationship for both of the states. What say you, honored guest," she said formally.
The bird mulled that over. When it spoke, it came with a more manly voice than Jeyna expected.
"I heard the telephone call and was surprised... but possibly... I could exist persuaded to aid you for a cost," the bird said, red eyes having the tiniest red dots in them. This was Jeyna had been warned about. If the bird asked for something Jeyna couldn't offering she had to reject politely. There was ever another spirit.
"What might yous need of me, honorable spirit?" she said and the bird eyed her hair.
"I wish to have a strand of your pilus each time you call upon me. I will remain for a maximum of 3 hours a mean solar day. You may dismiss or summon me up to that amount as many times every bit y'all wish. I will not requite you my feathers under any circumstance," the bird listed, sounding like it knew exactly what he wanted.
"And your terms, kid gratis of rails?" he asked and since Jeyna's principal notwithstanding looked relaxed, Jeyna didn't run into the impairment in continuing.
"Must it be from my caput?" she asked and the bird nodded. Drat, she hoped to get a haircut and pay that style...
"I ask you don't give anyone my pilus or share it intentionally," Jeyna began and the bird nodded hands.
"I had no intention to. Human hair has a lovely texture for nests," he said easily.
"That's why I tin can't stay longer than iii hours. I take four chicks and a wife. The magic energy is a boon, but a little more substance for the missus never hurts," he explained breezily.
Jeyna imagined raising her friendship with this bird then one 24-hour interval summoning four barrel-boot ninja bird chicks, each in beautiful little masks before they all unleashed their awesome spirit magic attacks!
Jeyna could go a bird mask and they could cause themselves the Eggcellents or the Birds of Way!
"...I think she had some facial malfunction," the bird said to Wielad.
"No, she's just... planning," he replied tightly.
"Uh sorry! The only thing I ask is if you will also guard my secrets?" she asked and the bird raised a wing.
"On the understanding, such a asking is void if it harms my family unit," he said pointedly.
"That's alright," Jeyna said casually and getting a muddied look from her Chief, making sit straighter.
"Annihilation else?" she asked quickly.
"Nope, simply this grade," he said, looking down at himself chuckling.
"Information technology'south a lilliputian beautiful, my married woman would die if she saw me like this," he said before bowing.
"Yous don't normally wait like this?" Jeyna blinked. The bird idea well-nigh it earlier he spoke bluntly.
"No," he said simply.
"And then isn't my pilus too small?" she asked, curiously and the bird snorted. It was so cool.
"Things aren't the same when you move between realms. Things are different there. Your hair looks small, but information technology's a slice of a Wizard freely given, that makes it bigger," he explained with no real hesitation.
He seemed like a cool bird. A sort of guy that'd be in the only pub in boondocks later on a long twenty-four hour period of logging, simply happy to run across his kids and get a meal.
"So... yeah that's it," Jeyna finished, feeling pleased with the result of this.
"Right, I am Eskoria, a fellow member of the Blue Gale species. Telephone call me when y'all demand aid. I'm not against removing some eyes or looking about. I can tell my kids their Papa is a really important spirit now," he guffawed, sounding a footling like... a rooster.
Without beingness asked, Jeyna yanked on ane of her hairs, wincing.
"For this summon. I uphold promises and value them," she said equally her eyes filled with tears. That really stung!
The bird gently took the strand with a wing and it vanished somewhere.
"I recall we'll become on but fine, Jenya," he said earlier he exhaled and the air formed together until a single marble of air cruel into Jeyna'due south hand.
"A token of our human relationship," he said and vanished, breaking apart in motes of green and blue earlier the totem stopped glowing.
She picked upward the totem and it felt cold, like a refreshing cakewalk.
Her Primary came up to her, smile.
"Jeyna Freerail, you are now a Worldly Guardian Wizard," he said and Jeyna beamed, even as she passed out in the heavenly chair.

I wonder if the spirits that Jenya makes a contract with come up from Celestial Spirit Realm or someone else entirely since it sounds like based on how totems are fabricated and contracts signed that they are more nature spirits/something from Fae Wild. I can totally see a kinda quondam school fairy wanting things similar locks of hair afterwards all.

I'd read a story about a guy that fishes exclusively with Fish-Slayer magic, non gonna lie.A Fairy Tail story using an original magic that isn't just a variation of [god/dragon/fish/fairy] slayer magic? I haven't seen 1 of these for a long time. And it starts with ten chapters waiting, this is great!

"I'm supposed to be the idiot out of the 3," Jeyna scolded as Ansez shifted, trying to keep a brave face. The small red-head looked more mature than Jeyna did, some 'gift' of her bloodline. She was taller, lost more baby fatty, and her pilus was easily reaching her lower dorsum when she let it down.
"You were never the idiot. Just the most open up of us," Ansez promised as she winced. Jeyna dipped the cotton wool swab in the medicinal mixture again and dabbed at Ansez's red and blistered covered knuckles.
The red skin looked angry and already, past accident, Ansez had popped a few of the blisters which was annoying to encompass, only doable.
"Terna, as much every bit I hope he stubs his toe every morning, is pretty skillful at what he does. You shouldn't take tried to use the magic unsupervised," Jeyna sighed as she saw the damage on one knuckle was deeper than the residuum. That would need to be wrapped.
"I only know how to brand my arrows fly a bit faster. I idea I was prepare for the side by side step," Ansez said miserably as Jeyna worked on her hand. Jeyna could understand that, given how difficult she flung herself into Worldly Guardian magic.
"Isn't the next step the 'Wood Splintering' Arrow magic? The arrow that... what was it once more?" Jeyna pretended to think about it before she jabbed Ansez's side in annoyance.
"Oh right, it explodes," she finished. Ansez but went pink and avoided coming together her gaze. Jeyna blew out a sigh. The poor girl was already under a lot of pressure level as the youngest fellow member of the hunters and praised for being 'the smart one'.
She didn't need it from Jeyna either.
"You'll become it next time, just employ gloves or exercise near a stream," Jeyna offered equally she stood up from the demote outside. The principal was leaving these 'minor' treatments to Jeyna at present.
Honestly, she didn't mind. As much equally she didn't call up so three years agone, healing was sort of bang-up.
A-As a hobby, of course!
"I volition, information technology's just I want to be helpful because of..." Ansez trailed off and looked up. Jeyna didn't demand to follow her gaze.
Information technology was articulate what Ansez meant.
A foliage barbarous to the basis, aging apart before information technology even hitting the footing.
Waywood was suffering nether some expletive or ill-fortune. The wood was dying a slow death.
"I heard the mayor finally got enough together to post a request to the guilds," Ansez said, changing the subject.
That topic wasn't exactly better every bit posting a asking to the guilds had its own share of bug, if Doctor Wielad was right.
Waywood was a little boondocks in the center of nowhere so actually getting here was already an investment for a Wizard of the guilds. So the reward had to be higher than others that would be local to the guilds.
It was also without a clear goal which could put some off. Jeyna even remembered that he said that if the money wasn't loftier enough, some Wizards would pass up it out of principle.
"If someone comes and doesn't find anything, that's a waste material of 30,000 Jewels," Jeyna said with concern. The money seemed insane to Jeyna who never had more than pocket modify since the doc fed and housed her.
"I'm sure nosotros'll last. Waywood will conditions the storm!" Ansez said, arm across her chest in some salute. That was the formal saying of the hunters. Jeyna stared at her.
"You got indoctrinated young, didn't you?" she asked and Ansez twitched.
"You got educated young to be using big words like that," the other girl threw back just they both cracked a grin at each other.
Brats from the Hafia church would always be brats together.
Heading within, Jeyna put the medical supplies back as she saw her master working on books and maps.
"I'll need to restock the burn medicine stock before long," she said and the light-green-haired man looked upwards. His sense of humor and relaxed nature had seemingly died with the trees effectually them.
"You'll be hard pressed to detect the herbs without heading to the forest edges," he said, standing every bit he went to expect out the window.
Jeyna closed the cabinet earlier she decided to bring together him.
"Master, what is causing this?" she asked and the man was tranquility for a long time.
"Something evil," he finally said before gesturing to the desk for her to employ.
"Back to the grind. Your magic reserves seemed to be improving at a steady pace. You'll exist gear up for your 2nd totem making before long," he reminded and Jeyna beamed at him.
Her starting time totem, Eskoria, was a good companion. She hadn't had much use for him in the day to day life, simply she summoned him to savor a wing over the forest as she gathered herbs.
Technically, there was no reason for Jeyna not to be able to make a dozen more than totems if she had the ingredients, but her master insisted that it was a quick way to become a bad rep in the spirit realm.
He likened it to employing a dozen people but having no jobs for them but nevertheless having to pay them or they'd motility on, wasting the resource of their totems.
Supposedly, she could even make her totems better, merely the actual ingredients to do so became specific for each totem and the spirit. Koria, a name he allowed Jeyna to use, said that his totem needed a few... things she had never heard off.
Well, thankfully information technology was more a general 'theme' of an item than something super specific.
Koria wanted veins of metallic ore found on loftier mountains and a magical plumage of fire...
If Jeyna was older or a travelling magician... she could totally merely get those things.
That reminded Jeyna of something.
"What does Grander demand for his totem to be ameliorate?" she asked, supposedly out of the blue given the way her main blinked.
"A water dwelling spider and the hibernate of a carnivorous lizard," he said, tilting his head.
"And you never searched for them?" Jeyna asked, not agreement why. This seemed to amuse her primary.
"My passion is beingness a doctor and I found it here. Grander is a companion. Improving his totem only lets his real form smooth more. I already have his personality," he said hands and Jeyna even so didn't quite get information technology.
"So, why don't you accept more totems?" she pressed, eyes narrowed.
"I was going to make more but then a brat barged her way in and I decided I didn't demand a scary beingness from the spirit realm when I had her. It'd cost less to continue her around," Wielad said dryly.
Jeyna stared at him.
"I want to renegotiate our contract," she said abruptly, artillery crossed.
"No. You give me stress, you learn magic. That was the deal," he replied, turning away and Jeyna puffed her cheeks out.
"I also melt and make clean and do your errands and laundry and-" Jeyna continued to list off as her master whistled his way out the door.
"Easiest deal ever," he agreed.
---
The house was quiet. Jeyna didn't like it existence so empty, but she focused as she looked at the materials she and her main had gathered over the years as payment and off traveling merchants.
Her 2d totem was well-nigh to be made and she was going to make it from scratch.
She eyed the base of operations materials open to her. She had a pick of wood such as red forest, oak, and a root of a water tree. Forth with them she had some rocks, 1 was a dark stone, another felt chalky, and the concluding one was black, sort of like coal.
The other materials were more sporadic such every bit a pinkish coral, a tarnished silverish loving cup, and a dried out pinkish flower.
The magical components were less in number beingness a dark fang of some bat creature, the metallic fragment and scale from last time, and a tattered cloth that came from some specter creature.
In the end, Jeyna took the dark stone and tattered cloth, feeling fancy. She got out the tools to brainstorm carving, chipping always so carefully away at the totem, bringing the shape of a sort of doll. The immature girl-like figure ended upward being and then nice that she even had fiddling carved eyes and a small-scale smile. Her apparel had ruffles and Jeyna was beyond pleased.
Compared to Koria's... well, this was an improvement.
She advisedly bound the totem in the cloth which felt almost as well soft to be physical and began to assemble her magic until it hit a humming level inside her trunk.
She focused and the circumvolve spread out from her hand, spinning in words and the gate sigil in the heart.
"Worldly Guardian Magic: Calling!" she invoked.
The totem began to glow before there was a sound of the spirit realm responding with its cheerful 'ding dong'.
Jeyna could experience her magic dip down to low levels, merely she didn't pass out this time, having grown thankfully.
The totem was now shrouded in the white fabric that moved... without moving which was bang-up. It glowed and slowly the spirit that responded rose to a higher place the totem like a distorted image.
Jeyna idea she summoned a human at showtime but when the girl opened her eyes, the black eyes with glowing silver pupils swiftly removed that idea. She was in a pretty dress of black with a silvery overall. Her hair was a dark black, making Jeyna's wait much lighter in comparison.
Physically, she looked to be younger than Jeyna, nigh eight or and so, simply her expression and tone when she spoke had the quality of an old being.
"I have answered the call, my lady," the girl said, spreading her dress in a curtsey.
"Oh respected spirit, I am Jeyna Freerail. I thank you for answering this abrupt call," Jeyna began and the girl smiled, her eyes closed to make her seem normal again.
"I am Nora, my lady. I thank y'all for this invitation. I suspect you are a contractor of the unaffiliated spirits?" she asked, tilting her head as she looked around. Jeyna was a trivial awed.
"Uh... yes. Would you exist willing to enter a partnership with myself?" Jeyna asked nervously and the girl bowed again.
"Of class. I shall state my desires and so you shall practice the same, my lady Jeyna," she said and stood, hands grasped.
"I wish to perform one cleaning task, one cooking chore, and spend ane hour at your side each summon. I cannot exist dismissed until I have done all of these tasks and I will endeavour to practise all of them in a timely manner so equally non to forcefulness myself to stay. I would like to refer to you as 'my mistress' or 'my lady' at all times," she said hands and bowed once more.
Lady? Jeyna was no lady.
"Anything else?" Jeyna offered, trying not to go distracted. Nora thought about it.
"I wish to protect yous from impairment or males. If ane approaches you without permission, may I maim them and listen to their screams?" Nora asked with a smile again.
"...Uh, enquire for permission commencement," Jeyna replied and Nora bowed over again.
"Ah... you make a bargain even sweeter. Oh dare I human action without permissions," she announced and grinning, she reached for a knife on her side of the image and readied to remove a finger equally if she had caused a great dishonor.
"Don't do that either!" Jeyna waved her hands, abandoning all protocol. Nora bowed again and the pocketknife just... vanished.
That was... odd.
Expect...
"You don't look like that, exercise you?" Jeyna gestured to the form and Nora looked downward, giggling.
"No... merely if information technology pleases yous, my lady. I will always look similar this?" she asked, undisturbed.
"Delight try to also exist my friend, continue my secrets, don't damage people unless I'1000 about to dice or you lot become permission, and um... " Jeyna trailed off, thinking.
"Don't hurt yourself in penalization or casually. Y'all're still a beingness with feelings and I won't be happy if you're hurt," Jeyna finished firmly. Nora nodded and something heavy on her side clunk to the floor with the sound of shattering forest.
"I shall dispose of my failure morning time star," she announced cheerfully.
Jeyna wasn't sure she was old plenty to exist contracting Nora, simply she as well was old enough to know wasting materials was a crime effectually Waywood.
"Keep your things, just don't hurt yourself," Jeyna said with a sigh and Nora bowed.
"So I, Nora of the Shrouded Keep, volition live utmost as your tool, bodyguard, and friend. Shall we seal our partnership with a handshake?" she asked, holding her hand out.
Jeyna shook it.
"Let's practise information technology," she agreed.
----
Jeyna totally got what Wielad meant by all-time deal always.
She saturday by the desk as Nora whizzed around the kitchen, gliding a little every bit if gravity was optional. Pots bubbled and Jeyna wasn't sure how Nora was making a full meal with what ingredients they had in the home, just she was doing information technology...
Merely as absurd equally Nora was... Jeyna was highly unsettled.
Chief Wielad hadn't returned home nonetheless and the night was well on its way.
Going to the window, she saw the full moon through the dying trees. The calorie-free of information technology seemed... cold.
"Mistress, you lot should eat," Nora was at her side, mitt on Jeyna's arm.
"Information technology feels incorrect eating without the Doc," she muttered, allowing herself to be pulled away by Nora.
"Anyone who teaches you, my lady, will be strong enough to exist safe. If not, you'll just take to search in the morning with me at your side and your friend, Master Eskoria, can aid you if I cannot," she said this as she smiled equally if she was chewing glass at that statement.
Jeyna beamed and dug into the soup.
A moment afterwards, her oral fissure brutal open up, the liquid pouring out as Jeyna tasted death and despair.
"Beetle and crushed one-time carrot soup. A delicacy!" Nora beamed proudly. This was the catch., Eskoria plucked her head and Nora killed her via food.
There was always a catch...
"D-Succulent!" Jeyna stuttered drinking it all in one big gulp, like ripping off a bandaid.
Nora looked touched at the action, hand to her chest equally if she was moved by the gesture.
Then Nora stepped bated to reveal a massive soup pot bubbling away.
"I will refill you lot for seconds," the spirit said with utter affection.
"...yay," Jeyna whispered, optics filling with tears.
As the dark went on... Nora offered to remain around for no actress cost. Jeyna accepted without issue.
Her Master did not return dwelling.
Nora remained vigilant, her eyes glowing in the dark that was a little creepy, but over the hours, turned to comforting.
Difficult to be scared when those eyes shone with warmth and promise of prophylactic.
The adjacent forenoon, Jeyna didn't need to look for him.
The hunters brought him back. Much like his totem, Primary Wielad was broken.
"A tree did this. It'southward not normal. It's sucking the life out of the forest. Wielad removed some bulwark it was using to hide," Terna explained, in one case without being rude to Jeyna. At her side, Ansez held her mitt in solidarity.
Her master would live, merely he'd likely be bed-ridden for the residue of his life.
"What kind of tree does this?" Jeyna demanded, merely the man was unable to respond her.
Nora was past her side like a shadow, making everyone jump.
"Master Wielad is in his bed and medicine has been supplied. I besides have an update from the mayor equally I was passing. The chore has been accepted by a Guild," she appear calmly. She eyed Ansez's hand in Jeyna's.
She said nothing, just was eyeing the other girl intently.
"Which guild?" Terna asked with a dark tone.
"I believe it is 'Fairy Tail'," Nora responded, far cooler and more than stiff than before.
Jeyna didn't care.
She only felt... numb inside.
---
Jeyna was careful every bit she redressed her master's rounds. His right arm and leg were gone, leaving stumps that needed to exist cleaned often to avoid infection. He withal hadn't woken upwards which was worrying Jeyna now.
It had been two days since he was establish and... as much as Jeyna presumed he did a lot... she actually had petty thought on how much Master Wielad did for the village.
This morning, one of the workers of the field came to ask if Jeyna was able to work the medicine on one of the sick cows while another needed a special mixture for her grandfather's bad back that Jeyna didn't know the recipe for.
One of the mayor's aides looked down at her when he came to ask when Jeyna was going to take over checking crops for illness in their fields.
"Disappointing," was all the woman said equally she turned on heel when Jeyna finished explaining she didn't know near crops.
The adult female only reached the forepart gate before there was blur and Nora stood on pinnacle of the gate, preventing her from leaving.
"My lady Jeyna is currently dealing with a private affair involving a valued member of the community. Please tell the mayor to take respect and likewise that he has farmers themselves to check for the virtually common of ailments," Nora smiled, but her eyes were open e'er so slightly making them glow.
"Nora," Jeyna called and Nora merely hopped down gracefully and came to be by her side.
The adjutant didn't stick effectually.
"Manners are gratuitous to offering. It would have her no attempt to conduct herself in a polite measure," Nora said before Jeyna could say anything.
"I was more worried you'd society her if she argued," Jeyna admitted, brushing her black hair back.
"I would never sully the manor with rude people's blood," was all Nora said in return.
"Don't gild them in dark corners of the village either. I'd have to fix them up," Jeyna reminded her spirit dryly, silently glad for the companionship she and then freely offered.
"Oh poo," Nora said, face falling as if she had been figured out.
In that location was a slight mayhem about the village entrance. Waywood was a tiny village that pretty much be taken in by a unmarried glance then it wasn't hard to run into that some... box on wheels had parked itself near the village gate.
"The Wizards. I don't await anyone else that ostentatious would arrive so all of a sudden," Nora said quietly.
Jeyna was going to respond when the doors opened and three people exited. Those were wizards?
Nora tensed and for the beginning time, she shifted to a defensive posture.
1 was a handsome man with flowing green hair and a deep cerise coat, followed by a woman in a flowing greenish dress that seemed ill-equipped for a walk in the forest, and the concluding looked like a behemothic that towered over them.
His features were subconscious simply looking at the village he leered.
None of them made Jeyna feel 'relieved' that help had come up.
Nonetheless, information technology was odd to see how kids her historic period have such an aura.
"They'd make dangerous enemies if we aren't conscientious," Nora spoke quietly again.
"What a dump," the tall lanky teen with the visor grinned.
"Dump!" "Dump!" "Dump!"
His word were echoed past three floating pulsate-things.
The object felt instantly both familiar and strange to Jeyna's sight.
The handsome boy shot him a look.
"Mind your tone. We're representing Laxus," he said and walked forwards, the girl remaining tranquillity equally she made sure to button her glasses upwards.
The girl was across pretty and Jeyne felt similar a country tomboy in comparing.
The one in accuse seemed to exist the greenish-haired boy.
"Nosotros're looking for the poster of the mission. Mayor Abral," he chosen, his vocalization all the same high only his tone was... tight as if emotion was either too hard or non worth the effort.
Slowly, the male child locked optics with Jeyna only earlier anything could happen, Nora was before them curtseying. All three looked a little surprised, simply they kept their cool.
"Delight follow me, honored guests," Nora said, optics closed before she turned and walked onwards.
Nora simply saved Jeyna from something.
She just wasn't certain what information technology was.
Merely, as the moon began to wane that night, there was a knock on her door and Jeyna opened it to reveal those three mages.
"May we speak?" the boy asked, his long hair easy to run across in the dark.
"About?" Jeyna asked, noticing the other ii further back. They moved like some sort of hunter squad.
"Nigh the rumors that the forest expletive is caused by a demon tree. The mayor said your teacher was researching the source," he said calmly.
"He's not awake," Jeyna replied, gathering her confidence and trying to milk shake loose the shock of the final few days off. The boy thought about it.
"The wood is large and the hunters aren't offering united states of america aid due to their ill-begotten pride. Practice you know the forest?" the boy went on and Jeyna tried non to bristle at the insult that also involved Ansez.
"The mayor hired us, not them. I recollect they took it personally that their own mayor didn't have faith in them," the girl spoke upwardly and her voice was annoyingly pleasant.
"Sucks to be them, just the mayor man was correct. Dangerous times need immediate results," the visor boy said.
"Evergreen, Bickslow," the boy said sharply.
Jeyna was about to speak when a new voice spoke upwardly.
"We know the forest and if Jeyna agrees, nosotros'll help yous," came Ansez'due south voice. Jeyna looked over to run into her and Maslion standing at her gate.
"Hafia brats stick together," Maslion grinned.
Everyone turned to Jeyna who eyed the airtight bedroom door. A single night abroad wouldn't kill her principal.
"I'll assist you," Jeyna announced, putting aside her ain feelings of needing aid to avenge her primary.
Equally he always said to her.
'Feelings are great... until they become obstacles'.
"I am Freed and we are members of Fairy Tail, under the A-Rank mage, Laxus," the male child said and turned without a word.
"H..i?" Jeyna said to his back.
"Let's get find a tree in a forest, it can't be that hard! Bwahaha!" Bickslow began to cackle and it was demonic.
For a start impression, these Fairy Tail people were intense... but maybe they weren't as bad every bit she heard?
"And so... whose Laxus?" Jeyna asked innocently every bit they walked into the woods. Supposedly, it would exist better for the search to be done at dark since that was when her master was attacked.
A pin could have dropped and anybody would have heard information technology following her question.
Freed turned slowly and his eye was narrowed.
"Permit me tell yous," he insisted and fell into stride with her. A shiver went down Jeyna'south spine as he seemed to grow rather... emotional.
He inhaled and then began to speak.
Subsequently five minutes, Jeyna sort of hoped a giant demon tree would eat her besides.

Nora is happy to serve she doesn't seek command, though she would be ecstatic if Jeyna adopted the traits of a harsher mistress.Hehehe, Jeyna got a maid who I am sure if she grows more powerful would look similar a dom.
