My plan is, or was, to make use of my blessing to round up all the animals I could find to help me survive.
Dr. Dolittle style, you know?
I mean, me, on the shoulders of a 14 feet tall ape, together with my group of bloodthirsty animals? I would conquer the damm continent in a year or two.
But, here's the thing, the bigger and stronger ones aren't exactly under my world domination plan...
"You won't move at all bud? Not even for 200 bananas? Ehh, you eat bananas right?" I tried arguing with my new friend/future war machine.
"Grunt!" He grunted, turning his back on me to eat the bananas that I kindly asked the trees to provide for me.
It was rather easy. Just had to think of what I wanted, and nature presented it to me on a silver plate.
I stood and marveled as the tree's limbs extended and moved along my will. Still, I didn't grasp the full potential of this...influence of mine.
Anywho, back to the problem at hand.
It looks like my command over the animals is not high enough to affect the tougher, and more, rational beings in this jungle...
Until now, the only animals I managed to talk into my plans were small rodents, reptilians, cats, birds, and such. And of course, my new best furry friend, Fluffy.
We get along pretty well. Not sure if it's because he's the first victim of my "Aura".
Aura is what I called the soothing feeling my body passively emanates toward animals and people alike, at least human-like people...
Hence, I'm going to change my original plans a bit.
Don't get me wrong. I still want my Army of Wild Beasts.
However, I first need to evolve more of my 'Gifts' to make that happen.
To do that, I have 2 options:
1. I stay in the forest and live some time with the apes until they acknowledge me. Or until I find a way to evolve my blessing to a higher degree myself;
And 2. Find me a teacher in the arts of natural powers.
Now, the first option could take years until it gives fruits, and I don't even know what year it is.
And hell yes, I want to see the main cast of the show/books in person. No way I'll miss that opportunity.
Thus, I can't stay on this continent for too long. Hell, maybe the plot already started, and only I'm in the dark.
Still, I haven't decided if I want to change the plot or not...
I mean, I don't want a few main characters to die, for some I liked in my past life.
So, option 2 it is.
And that brings me to another dead-lock.
Who can teach me to better understand my powers? Magic was almost non-existent before Daenerys hatched her little scale eggs for all I know.
Humm, what to do...
Why don't I just ask the forest? In the book, it did say that I could hear its whispers.
Alright, let's do that.
Sitting on a large polished rock and closing my eyes I started to ask...
'Ehh, Hello? Can I get some help finding a guide to better comprehends my blessing, please?'
"..." Am I supposed to make an offering or someth-
~~Follow the path provided by the night flowers to reach your goal~~ A melodious, sweet whisper sounded all around me.
Wow, t-that was magical...
Humm, so does that mean I will have to wait until it darkens to begin my search? Damm...
"Sigh, alright. Until then, let's see what kind of information does this book has" Opening my eyes and pulling Fluffy in my lap, I opened my pocket encyclopedia to the section page that reads:
{Glossary:
-Gifts;
-Learned magic and abilities;
-History and anatomy of all races and species;
-History and state of all cities and kingdoms; }
How does all that information fit in this tiny book?
Meh, must be divine magic or something.
Speaking of which, can I "store" this encyclopedia inside me or something?
It's gonna suck to always have to remember where I last left it. Not counting if I could lose it, or worse, stolen by...
I can't imagine what someone like Tywin Lannister would do with this little book in his hand.
Let's see, 'Return'...no, ok, how about 'Disappear'.....'Inventory?'.....'Store' "!" Holy! It worked, the mini-book vanished.
And to appear once again 'Out' "puff" Nice, now that that's out of the way, I can read whatever is inside it.
"Un-Humm," The 'History and anatomy of all races and species'. Should be informative.
{History and anatomy of all races and species:
. First Man
-Origen and History: The First Men are one of the three major ethnic groups from which the humans of Westeros descend, the others being the Andals and the Rhoynar.
The First Men were the culture of humans who first set foot on the continent. The influence of the First Men is still felt in Westeros, most strongly in the north.
Following the Pact between the First Men and the children of the forest, the majority of the First Men eventually set aside their gods and adopted the gods of the children as their own.
These nameless deities of stream, forest, and stone are referred to as the "old gods" because the gods of the Andals, referred to as the "new gods", replaced them in all but the north Westeros.
-Anatomy and customs: They are identical to the homo-sapiens species. The free folk who live beyond the Wall are led by chieftains. At several times during history, they have united behind a non-hereditary over-chief known as the King-Beyond-the-Wall. The Vale mountain clans are led by chieftains as well. In council, they insist that every man or woman must be allowed to have their voice heard.
The First Men in the past wielded bronze swords and great bronze axes. They were armored in bronze as well, carrying large, leather shields. And when the Andals came, they were taught to make weapons and armors of iron...}
Interesting...there's more information and curiosities at the end as well.
"What do you think buddy? Want to see what's written about your species too?" I asked the lazy bunny laying in my lap.
"..." Huh, suit yourself then.
What to do until night arrives...
Oh! Let's see if I can feel my magic.
After all, our dear author with hate bone towards main characters, George RR Martin, never really gave us a clear answer on how magic is made, handled, or fulled.
On my High Human traits, it did speak about me having a larger magical pool than average, along with a higher affinity towards all magical spells or, as it stated, sorceries. So it should be easier for me...
I closed my eyes and took deep breaths...ignoring the two king kongs fighting for the remaining stash of bananas...
Can't say I blame them, it's pretty damm delicious.
If anything goes wrong in my journey and I fail to live a life of adventure/conqueror, at least I'll have a backup plan in my pocket.
One which I become rich by managing an extensive market line that sells bananas all over the world...noted.
Back to the magic. I felt a slightly warm feeling entering my body and being stored somewhere. It's a foreign feeling, having something like a fluid entering through all my body spores.
Now what? I seemed to have extracted mana from the outside, is it because I'm Nature's Champion, or can everyone do the same?
No...I'm sure it's an unusual trait among sorcerers. The concept of mana must be new to them as well...
Food for thought.
For now, let's try circulating my stored mana across my whole body...
"Urgh, this....is hard," I can't seem to be able to go past my torso while doing it, since the gathered mana is currently stored in my abdomen area.
"Well, practice makes perfect, as they say," I chuckled, repeating the processes.
Only more slowly this time.
Thus, setting my first foot on my crazy journey to sorcery.
