The short haired fairy gasped, as her aura erupted from her body, overflowing with imnse quantities of Mana, Ki, and Spirit Energy like never before.
"W-What in the world?! Elayne, I had no idea you could create such elixirs... I feel totally energized!" Cinnamon gasped.
"It’s like a redbull or a monster then?" Wondered Mark.
"Yeah but for magical beings," explained Elayne. "A normal energy drink will hardly work on us or fairies."
"Alright then, I’ll get going-"
"Wait! Cinnamon we first need to discuss sothing much more serious; you aren’t curious about what was behind the Owl Bears at all?" Elayne asked.
"Behind it? I thought it was simply a natural disaster or sothing?" she wondered. "Wait... don’t tell there was actually... people behind this?"
"Yeah," Elayne nodded. "Though, I don’t know if you could call them... actual people, more like undead monsters that blindly obey their masters."
"U-Undead?!" Cinnamon gasped. "Wait, don’t tell ...! That’s really what happened? You saw Undead beings? Where did they even co from? From Tartarus? Perhaps from Helheim? Or the Naraka?!"
"Wait those are Realms that exist?" Elayne asked. "They sound really aweso, so there’s for Greek Myths and also Norse Myths, and Naraka? What’s that? Wait, Buddhism?"
"They’re different Hells or Underworlds that exist, created by ancient Death Gods or Demonic Gods of imnse power..." Cinnamon said. "We have not been invaded by a Realm like these in eons, however... We imagined they had grown too weak to properly unleash a large-scale attack like in ancient tis but..."
"No, it’s nothing of the sort, these invaders... we do know them, they don’t co from any Realm born from Earth, they co from Another World entirely, aliens," Elayne said.
"Aliens...?" Cinnamon raised an eyebrow, confused. "What do you an?"
"Cinnamon, you haven’t heard about that event that happened in Earth recently? The First Contact? Earth connected to an alien world and its atmosphere was filled with Mana from that world," explained Elayne. "These invaders co from said world."
"T-That’s... I do rember hearing about it, but we’re usually quite detached from what happens on Earth, to think that it’s going through so Magic Awakening... this other world, Elayne, do you know more? How was this Undead? What was their na? Did you defeat it, or did it escape? What was it doing to the Owl Bears?"
"It might take a while so you guys can go have dinner without ," Elayne said. "Let’s go to your office, Cinnamon... Ah right, the corpses."
After storing them back inside her inventory, Elayne walked inside the building with Cinnamon, Mark and Katherine stayed behind but everyone else agreed on going to eat first, they were starving.
While in her office, Cinnamon offered them a cup of tea and even so slices of cake and small muffins if they were hungry, while Elayne explained to her everything she knew and learned there and also introduced her to the dangers of the World of Arcadia, and Alien World that could only be described as "Pure Fantasy" for a lack of a better word.
"A world completely parallel to Earth exists, which is imbued with so much Mana that a small connection has changed Earth forever?" Cinnamon was flabbergasted. "Arcadia... It does have a nice na for it, I think there was a human city with the sa na. Is that coincidence, I wonder?"
"We don’t really know, but there must be so sort of connection, yeah, sothing much deeper that existed even before the First Contact, after all, we were able to access it through technology made by humans called Virtual Reality, and..." Elayne went on and on explaining many truths she would never reveal to a human, but this was Avalon, completely different ordeal, it was better if she was honest about everything.
"T-To think humans had created such incredible technology! But sohow you people don’t know aside from a few chosen "Awakened" that can connect to this world’s "Avatar" you’ve created and raised?" Cinnamon was utterly shocked. "T-This is just beyond anything I imagined... Humans truly never stop amazing , they co out with the craziest of things, as your technology advances, even things such as magic disappearing don’t seem to be quite a problem anymore. But with this First Contact, everything changed... we should tell King Oberon about this imdiately! Even more, if this enemy you call the "Demon King of Death" is aiming at our Realm, then we must prepare for the worst."
"It’s better this way," Elayne nodded. "Now, these are the remains of the Lich, and they were using these crystals. We dub the Corruption Crystals, they’re made by crystalizing Miasma, Nether, and Demonic Energy. Three deadly essences that can corrupt and destroy life."
"They placed this crystal in the middle of the forest and influenced the local population of monsters, I see! Owl Bears were the most populous in the Giant Tree Forest..." Cinnamon nodded. "I understand things better now... Thank you for enlightening , Elayne. We’ll have to investigate ways to counter these crystals."
"They have barriers that seem to bounce off most magic that isn’t of their sa elent," explained Elayne. "Therefore, if you don’t have powerful enough artifacts or wield their elents, it could be really hard to take down these crystals even if you tried your best."
"Hmm, I see, understood," Cinnamon nodded. "I was wondering if we could get so of these fragnts to analyze their components? We aren’t defenseless at all, and we are not alien to the concept of warfare either. Our mages could analyze this and probably co out with a powerful Spell to counter it."
"Interesting... Alright, but please be very careful, it might be shattered and weakened, but it still contains dangerous energies," Elayne said, wrapping the small red crystal with her aura. "I’ve left it wrapped with my aura, so it shouldn’t be able to harm anybody when they touch it. My Aura is sort of alive, made of spirits. I’ll detect if soone tries to use it for sothing bad, and the crystal will be destroyed. I’ll also allow experintation."
