"Phew, I feel much better now…" Celes sighed in relief. "Since I can rember that I've always felt weaker and a bit sickly, rember mom? But after absorbing this, it feels like sothing that should have always been in there is finally back…"
"I-I see…" Nia nodded. "C-Could it really be a fragnt of the Oasis Spirit? So your soul is truly… My son."
"I don't know either…" Celes sighed. "But maybe I might be… related to her, or be her reincarnation, it's confusing…"
As smart as the boy was, he was still just a child, so it was natural he couldn't figure out things on his own easily and found them confusing to even interpret.
"It's fine." I said. "It's nice that there is sothing we can benefit from coming here, aside from my epic failure at getting a spirit… I'll mine a piece of this and then leave the rest in here, the spirits do like this area after all."
As I touched the crystal with my pickaxe after Celes and Nia nodded, a sudden flash of blue light surged from the crystal, slightly blinding my vision.
FLAAASH!
"What the… Another unexpected event again?!"
I was getting a bit bored of these!
The blue light slowly took the shape of a floating, blue-colored spirit, with the appearance of a little rmaid, it greeted Celes with an innocent smile.
"The vessel of my master… At long last, she has co back." She sighed. "But you're… A human? How could this be?"
"E-Eh? Hi?" Celes was a bit confused.
"A-Ah, sorry…" The small spirit, only the size of a cat, sighed. "I am one of my lady's spirit servants, I have no na other than Nymph. I was left here, sealed within the crystal by my master to secure my safety…"
"Wait, you know about the past then?!" I asked in surprise. "What happened back then?"
"I… my mories are a bit fuzzy, but I was left here to serve my lady, whenever she ca back, no matter how long it would take. And she's finally here… Or well, him." She sighed. "Do you truly not possess her mories, vessel of my master's soul?"
"No, sorry…" Celes sighed. "I am… soone else. I just carry it but…"
"I understand." The spirit seed sorrowful but accepted the truth faster than we imagined. "Then, there's no point in hesitating. I will serve you from now on, my master's reincarnation."
FLASH!
A thread of blue light touched Celes, a contract between him and the spirit was made imdiately…
"W-Woah… D-Do I really get a spirit contracted with ?" Celes adorably wondered.
"Congrats Celes!" Nyx smiled, patting his head.
"Ugh…" I sighed, feeling slightly jealous. "I want a spirit too! This is unfair. But well done, nonetheless. We need you as strong as possible anyways."
Celes nodded happily after my words, feeling rather grateful of everything that has happened, the boy's smile was all I needed for the frustration of not having gotten a spirit to disappear.
"I believe I could tell you a few things that I do rember well… It seems I've been sleeping for thousands of years." Yawned the Water Spirit. "Each spot of spiritual energy is a fragnt of my lady's power she hid in here in her battle against that Corrupted Awakened… They're ant to give you great power, and also has my sisters sealed within."
"I-I see…" Celes was listening while nodding. "Um, what is a Corrupted Awakened?"
"You an the Dark Pest?" I wondered. The spirit quickly gave a nod.
"I don't really know who all of you are, but you seem very strong. I am grateful you've been protecting the reincarnation, she- I an he is a very important being for this desert." She thanked us first and foremost. "And yes, I do rember he was called Dark Pest too."
"Do you rember anything more?" Eraldine asked, as we started making our way to the second Spiritual Energy Spot, out of the three there were. "And why did you call him Awakened?"
"I… I don't rember why they were called like this exactly." Sighed the Spirit. "My Master was an Awakened that hailed from "A World of Oceans" as she called it… She belonged to a group of other Water Spirits and Magicians serving Oceania, the Goddess of Water, right? Oceania's the daughter of the Awakened Odin."
"Awakened again… I had no idea they had this other na; it feels like it makes little sense seeing how they're Gods." I wondered, crossing my arms.
"I-I have little clue about what it ans either." The Spirit sighed. "I'm sorry for lacking information, I was created by Master only a few hundred years before she died and I never left her side, so I have little knowledge other than these things."
"It's fine, dear, don't worry." Eraldine smiled sweetly at her. "But… "A World of Oceans", what could this an?"
"Maybe they ant the Great Endless Sea?" Lucifer asked. "The Great Endless Sea that connects all Continents, ford after the Realms fell and slowly ford into Continents, what was once many Realms beca a single world, supported by Yggdrasil's roots."
"Once Realms fell… You an in the Age of Ragnarök? That happened before I was created, but I did hear from Master that this was the Cataclysmic event that triggered the "Assimilation" or whatever it ans… Which opened the way for her to reach this world through the seas." The Fairy said. "T-
That's all I really know."
"Assimilation…" The Pharaoh rubbed his chin. "Hmmm… All of this knowledge is triggering my researcher self! I wish I could write down notes and such."
"Here." I gave him a notebook and a pencil. "Write anything you want for ; I'll need that information."
"Oooh! V-Very well!" Nodded the Lich, happy to have so tools at his disposal.
As he started scribing what he had heard and everything else, we arrived at the second rainbow crystal, this one was being observed by Silva and Catarina, who were curiously sensing its aura.
"The second one is here, please, reincarnation, absorb its powers." Said the Spirit. "From what I can tell… The Power of the Dark Pest is growing larger at the sa ti, you need to beco stronger to finish what master couldn't."
"Okay!" Celes might be little, but his courage was very big.
