Kiada, Blood Servant System Reborn

Chapter 116: Getting Stronger

I made one of the legs flatten out like a pancake. It was weird, as I stepped on to it with Lesha, all the things that I had learned, but nothing seemed different.

That could mean one of two things. One thing that it could be that this was always my personality, but I also felt like I would be more confident.

This slowly coming into myself was starting to get old, and I just wanted for all the secrets to being revealed and not be strung along so much. That had been a long path through my life, but it was nothing the expanse of time I had already live, but that didn't make me feel any better about my current situation.

"K!" The three girls yelled as they came out of the back cabin running.

They must have heard the wood moving, and the three girls rushed over to greet us, then they hugged me. Candi and Trinity were first, but then I opened my arm to Alana, and she jumped into my arms.

"How are you feeling? I asked Alana after I released her a bit, but I didn't let go of her.

"Good, but I need to talk to you about something," Alana smiled at me.

"Oh? Okay, what is it that you would like to talk to me about?" I asked, but she broke from me, and then dragged me to the front of the ship.

Lesha followed close behind with a knowing look on her face, but I was curious and patient. Where we got over to one of the few remaining crates that had been strapped down before the storm.

Alana went behind the crate, and I heard some complaints coming from there. Now my curiosity was piqued and I walked up to see what she was bringing to show me.

"This is I don't know, but I found him, and he is pretty friendly. He only stays around for as long as he wants, and then disappears. I don't know what he is, but he tells me I'm boring and no fun!" Alana said as she set the little glowing blue tubby miniature man off the crate.

As she let go, I and the Aqua Spirit looked at each other and grinned as I slapped him off the top of the crate, out into the sea. Everyone was speechless as we watched the Spirit sail like a badminton shuttle, and go, poof!

Instantly, the Aqua Sprite was back and jump as I stated it again. Having my memories back allowed me to remember other experiences and encounters with Aqua, not Water Spirits.

They were playful spirits that mostly just wanted to play but also were good healers. Besides that, not much more than they could do besides getting in the way.

"They like to play, and they can help you heal if you are hurt, but that one will probably stay on the ship. If you would like to gain a Spirit, I will help you," I said with a smile, hanging Lesha close who was only listening.

"Really? You think we will find a cute pet for me?" Alana asked with excitement.

"Yes, but they are not pets, and you should treat them just like you or me. Spirit is a Representation of this Game worlds magical power," I explained to her, but I had just said something weird.

Why had I just called this a Game?

[Because you're slowly starting to push through the cracks, and the light of everything will soon be upon and there will be no more subterfuge. Until that day we are slowly learning more. Find the girls after you get off the island, but you need to finish what you started with Dyster.]

Lishtani was right about that, but the real question was: could I even face him now? Would I take my guild with me to fight him or would I do this alone?

[You will have to fight him alone, but the rest of your people will not be lying around. For now, I need you to concentrate on getting stronger before you leave this island. There is no way that even you and all your girls could face him right now, but they are not powerful enough to withstand being around him.]

So then, what do I have to do to get myself to where I need to be? I don't want to waste the time that I have been given here.

[With the other three, you will learn how to use the Spirit magic yourself and then you will be able to summon other spirits Besides Bahumuat. That one is far too dangerous to let out in a crowded place, so you will need something else. Training with the other is going to be your best right now to get stronger.]

How long will I be staying here? I guess I didn't need to get back right away, but still

[That is completely up to you. You may only need to stay one or two days, or you might feel like you need a week or month. How ever long you think it will take, do it and take the time. It will be more helpful to you, in the end, to stay as long as you need.]

This was fair, and it might actually be nice to be forced to stay in one place. I had been running around so much lately that it was starting to run me ragged.

I turned to Lesha, and she was smiling. What was she grinning about?

[Sorry, I forgot to mention that the girls can hear me now if I choose for them. I let her know that you would be getting a bit of a vacation, but you understand what I said. Get stronger, train your people, I didn't bring you to this island just so it could be wasted!]

What? You are the one that shipped me here? I thought the storm did this!

[Hardly, and you wouldn't stop running around so I needed to glue you in on spot for a bit so you can get something done for once!]
