Chương 214: Sprig-gone...

With the spriggan dead, the tower was now free real estate. The group hobble inside and are greeted by a larger tree that'd sprouted from the center of the dilapidated tower, probably what the spriggan was attempting to protect. Regardless if they'd killed the previous owner, they'd stay here tonight. The tower would provide enough cover to keep predators and the elements away.

Michael sets up two tents, one for Charlotte, her mother, and Illococoo, and one for him and Tiffania. With everything said and done, the group entered their respective tents, Michael laying Tiffania down before covering both him and her with blankets and furs.

Before he allows himself any sleep however, he pulls out the Book of Heroes to see his progress.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He'd gotten a good amount of training in during the week they were leading Loutiel around by his nose. Seems like the threat of discovery had pushed him to get stronger faster. His quick increase could be due to the ambush however...

On that subject, his Anti-Mage had finally reached level six! Allowing him to acquire Mana Void!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spirit : Anti-Mage

Level : 5 > 8

Mental Fortitude (Rank 1) : Grants resistance to mental attacks that gets stronger when against magic.

Mana Void (Rank 1) : Attacks an enemy and deals damage to them and their surroundings based on how much mana they are missing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He hadn't had a chance to use Mana Void yet, but if it was as powerful as it was in the game, it'd be a serious game changer if he was facing any kind of mage or magical user. Depending on the situation, he could just insta-kill the opponent straight up.

He grins to himself, flipping the pages and entering his Spirit's worlds and informing them of the dimension hop. Both Rhasta and Riki were intrigued to hear about the method of travel, as well as about Tamriel itself.

Indeed, Michael had even gotten Rhasta a gift. He holds out his hand to the Shadow Shaman, the glowing heart of the spriggan pulsing with green light, as if it were still alive.

Rhasta's milky eyes widen as they behold it. He tentatively grasps the object, holding it to his face as if he were looking through it. "This... It's a magic siphon! How, strange! Hhahahhouuihhohi!"

...

"Magic siphon?" Michael questions, getting the general gist by its name but wanting a detailed explanation.

...

"Master?"

Rhasta looks up from the Taproot, "What?"

"What's a magic siphon? Are you alright? Or has your age finally caught up with you-*Bonk*" Michael starts but gets hit over the head by Rhasta's stick.

"Stupid student! Its use is in the name! It draws in, absorbs and condensed magical energy. Naturally formed ones are quite rare from what I heard, but it sounds as if these 'Spriggan's are common in that new world of yours." he squints his eyes as he frowns, "However. Do not hunt for them. There's a reason for Nature Spirits to exist, if you hunt for them you will start destroying the lands they protect. Kill enough, and you will find yourself an enemy of nature itself!... Student, hear my words, you do not want such a fate."

Michael raises a brow, "Why, what happens?"

"Nature will be against you... The water you drink will turn to mud, fruits you bite into will rot as you try to eat them. Wooden handles you use with grow thorns, animals will attack you whenever they see you, predator or not. Storms will be your enemy, lightning only striking at and around you, wind attempting to destroy whatever shelter you've found. It will not only be nature itself that will wish to harm you, even those with an affinity to it will find your presence sickening... Something I doubt you desire, considering that Half-Elf girl of yours." the Shadow Shaman remark, though, despite his jesting tone, does not change the severe frown on his face.

"You have been warned. I do not know if things will be the same in the world you currently inhabit, but those who harm nature will only be harming themselves..." Rhasta flips the taproot in his hand a couple times, "I'll be keeping this for now. I'm interested to see what uses I can find out of it..." he says, turning around and heading towards the makeshift hut Rhasta had built for himself during his stay here.

Michael is left there with an unsure look on his face. He'd never heard about any of what Rhasta just said before. In Skyrim he'd have his character destroy hundreds if not thousands of spirggans as he did quests. The fact that his character was also a vampire should've brought the wrath of nature down upon him... But, maybe Bethesda didn't want to integrate a Nature's Curse into the game, as it'd soft-lock anyone's game if they activated it... You wouldn't be able to do much if even the grass wanted to trip you up...

He shakes his head, deciding to leave spriggans alone unless they attacked him first. While their taproots could be used for experiments, alchemy, and maybe even improving his own magic, the risk was not worth the reward... He'd have to remember to relay this new knowledge to the others.

Michael exits Rhasta's world and snaps his book closed, allowing it to dissipate as he buries himself in his covers, cuddling up to Tiffania to warm one another with their body heat. He hoped she'd be up by tomorrow, otherwise he'd have to start feeding and bathing her... No, he'd let Charlotte handle that, she already did so with her mother, so she probably wouldn't be averse to it...?

Chương 215: Checked

The next day Michael slowly awakens from his slumber, the teenager forcing himself to let go of Tiffania as he rolls onto his back. But, with the absence of her body warmth, the cold air prickles against his skin, surprising him as it should've warmed up compared to the night.

"Guess it's permanent furs and cloaks if we wanna stay around Skyrim... Maybe finding a nice spot in Cyrodil would be better?" he murmurs as he wipes the sleep from his eyes, his actions slowly stilling as something hits him like a reversing dump truck.

He was free. He wasn't in Halkeginia anymore, no one was chasing him, and he didn't need to fear a dragon destroying the world... At least, not one that didn't already have countermeasures against it. He wasn't sure who would take up the mantle, but the Dragon Born would appear eventually... If they were even around that time. It might just be wishful thinking for him to be close to the dragon crises, as he'd played Skyrim and possessed useful knowledge for that time. More so than say Oblivion, or any other Elder Scrolls game.

Still, the fact remained that he could do anything he wants. He had no chains containing him. He had no master. The only thing he had were responsibilities to protect and provide for his companions, which was something he'd gladly do any day of the week.

He frowns as he pulls out the Book of Heroes and begins making a checklist on a blank page. Things that he wanted to do,

First off, attempting to learn this world's magic. He couldn't learn Halkeginia's because only those descended from Brimir were able, and he was most interested in the Tamriel method of magic than Halkeginia... The lack of wands made it far more useful for his fighting style anyway.

Second, was to gather wealth. He already had a few ideas about this, even if a few were crossed out due to his dislike of nobles and general highborn. Delving into crypts for loot would be his main focus, mostly because it was easy and would grow his power as he did so.

Third, to gather artifacts whether from quests or by simply utilising his knowledge of the land. He'd make sure to steer well clear of any Daedra, but there were still valuable things scattered throughout the world.

Fourth was finding a way to heal Charlotte's mother. He didn't think it'd be difficult with the methods the denizens of Skyrim had at their disposal... In the game, you could literally just pray to any Divine and they'd heal you of all diseases, but, this was probably just because you were the dragon born...?

He closes the book and nods to himself, slowly clambering out of the tent and leaving Tiffania to sleep for longer... It didn't look like she was going to wake up anytime soon, which was kind of worrying...

Outside he's greeted by Charlotte, her mother, and Illococoo sitting around a fire while chewing on some rations. They'd already packed their tent up to allow for easy storage in his inventory, so once he stows it away he takes a seat next to them. "How's your leg Illu?"

"Still hurts big bro." she murmurs sadly pulling up the trousers she'd borrowed from him to reveal a heavily bruised leg.

Michael isn't sure whether he should sigh relief or groan at the sight. He certainly didn't want to reveal Illococoo's status as a dragon in this world... The Blades would hunt her down if they still existed, that or the Thalmor would waste shit tons of resources to see if they could use her for something. Yeah, he never liked those pricks in the game, he doubted it'd be any different here. "Charlotte, have you tried to heal her?" he asks, remembering Charlotte having little to no problems healing bruises.

The blue-haired girl shakes her head however, giving an unsure frown as she examines Illococoo's leg. "Magic feels... Weird." she utters, sounding somewhat unconvinced despite the fact it was her saying it.

"Weird?" Michael parrots, not really sure what she means. Did leaving Halkeginia make her unable to cast Brimiric magic? If so, they were stuck here, as Tiffania wouldn't be able to use her Void Magic anymore.

Charlotte nods in affirmation, "Weird." She waves her hand around as if she were feeling something. "Different. Heavy...?"

Michael's brows furrow, "Sword, you feeling this too?" he asks, tapping the hilt of Derflinger to get its attention.

"Er, maybe? I'm not all that sensitive to magic, but it definitely feels different. Maybe it's got something to do with these 'Gods' you were talking about?"

...

"Have you tried to use magic yet, Charlotte?" he asks and again she shakes her head. "You don't think you'll be able to?"

Charlotte looks down at the floor for a moment, chewing her lip before looking back over at Illococoo's leg. She lifts her staff and casts a small healing spell after a moment. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the wrong decision.

Water appears from the air and covers Illococoo's leg, getting to work on soothing and healing it. But just as Charlotte casts it, her mouth soundlessly open as her eyes flutter. She drops her staff and begins to fall backwards, only for Michael to catch her. Quickly, he checks her pulse and breathing and lets out a sigh of relief, "She's alright... Just passed out, I think." he says, spotting the similarities in her condition and Tiffania's.

"W-will big sis be alright?" Illococoo asks, jumping to her now unbruised leg thanks to Charlotte's spell.

"She will." Michael decides, inwardly adding 'I hope so'.

This leaves the group in a pickle however, with both Charlotte and Tiffania unconscious, which just leaves him and Illococoo to look after everyone. Which will be a problem if they were ambushed or something similar.
