Tales Of Schaduw: The Half - Elf

Ch. 52 – Talk

From behind the big tree I told you about earlier I saw a little panda that was eating a few small pieces of bamboo with its rest. Unknowingly my body stepped closer to the little panda. Looks adorable with her tiny eyes adorned with black feather circles around her. Her tiny hand was holding a piece of bamboo, her facial features were very cute when her mini mouth was full of leaves and some bamboo fibers.

I also brought a little panda to leave this forest. Although I have never cared for any animals myself, my heart does not want to leave this panda alone here. I don't know what Saigiri or Dad would say. Or maybe I'll take care of him secretly in Laiquendi Forest.

Thought. But I don't know how to get back to my real body and get out of this dense forest. I don't even know why I'm lost in this forest. Whereas previously I was in the academy hall and was performing the spirit core retrieval ritual of the Spirit Pearl.

Could it be that I am now inside the world of Spirit Pearls. What is this that everyone feels when they want or are taking a spirit core. But Carsten himself did not say this at all, he only mentioned his encounter with the Crescent Horn Buffalo beast, even then while inside his spirit realm.

It can't be just me who can get here. Indeed, I asked the god to get a step-type animal or spirit core, but in that prayer I did not ask for a strong or extraordinary spirit core. Quite different from the spirit essence of friends, so that I can be the differentiator between them. 

‘Wait....what could this little panda be the core of my spirit? Or maybe the gods have answered my request and given me a step spirit core. So...’ murmured me in the mind.

“Hey little panda...” my broom that was carrying her traced every inch of the Spirit Pearl Forest, that's the name I gave this place. Stupid me, how could the little panda understand my language.

“Maybe you understand what I said?” ask me to see if this little panda really understands or is just a coincidence. But again the little panda responded to me, this time she nodded. So it's not wrong if this panda understands human language.

While tracing each part of the forest and looking for a way to return to its original place, we also talked and told about many things. From the very beginning when I fought Zardock, protecting the village, even while witnessing the death of mother before my own eyes. I told him about my first meeting with Adellia, Grandpa Hork, and other reinforcements.

I told you all the things I had just experienced, even though the conversation with the little panda was only one-way. Indeed he understands my language, but he cannot speak like an ordinary man. The elder Agamemnon also did not explain that animals or creatures are capable of understanding human language, or perhaps the elder Agamemnon himself did not know this. 

If for now there's anything I can be proud of, meeting one of the rare animals and getting him to talk. If I could I would make this little panda to be my first spirit energy and Spirit Weapon. It's just which body part of this little panda can I make as a Spirit Weapon, judging from where I might have the heart to take one of his body parts. Even this panda was still very small and seemed to have no power whatsoever.

Without realizing it, time went by so fast. A flash of divine light slowly disappeared one by one replaced by the silence of the night. The song of the bird that was singing melodiously is now replaced with a dark melody from the humming of the owl. Silently, the fibers will be dark, very different when the night has arrived. Very gripping, making the heart does not want to stop to beat fast. While this leg must continue to step to find a way home.
