Chapter 15:

ROLIEG

Myriad Variations


[Afternoon\\Megale's Communion\\Vale Underground Floors]
The soul lanterns now glowed a bright blue, and the place mixed with blue and yellow lanterns made it look have a greenish tinge.


 The place being situated in such depths, yet cold winds blew with plenty humidity. Kyle was admiring each and every brick which the whole underground lybrinth were consisted of. 

As he continued his observations they were moving ahead, Alicia being quick to move ahead and get go for the next place, hoping for more people than here. 

As they proceeded through the main hall as Luke guided them on further ahead, as they took a flight of stairs which lead straight through a lengthy dark corridor. Unfortunately as it seemed for Alicia the place turned more and more isolated as they moved on ahead. 


The ceiling was mossy as the droplets dripped on the side of the view, the breeze seemed to have turned into a wind an strong wind which prevailed with smells of...... Seemed like forrest more precise a rain forrest. 


As the corridors came to an end, Luke cried 
"Hmmm the place is turning more and more wild it seems, last time I entered is was a lot less mossy..""Ahhh and don't worry Kyle, Alicia the place is just borrowed from the regrets of the spirits which reside here, so any of their residue desires will slowly change this place a little or more for sure, but it also helps with, their working and processing conditions, as even being spirits, they were once living and held desires someof which they couldn't complete, yet life ends in ways we are not really sure of, this is all to help them and remain at peace.. "


" Hmmm so this soggy, cold place is Rolieg's desire, Luke? ", Alicia asks in a questioning manner... 
" Yes I would say, but many of other spirits reside here as well so, it a little complicated to explain but some their general emotions mix up to create this buffer atmosphere where they all feel at ease..." replies Luke. 


As they seemed to reach as area with rooms all over a stone tablet stood ahead of them, as they approached the tablet a spirit appeared out of thin air.


 A sprit of an elderly with a grey glow stood with expressions of happiness smoldered right on his face it seemed. It was Rolieg, and Luke knew right away, as he ran in towards the spirit and shook his had aggressively... 


"Ohhh boy it's you Rolieg, it's been a while like almost a a decade right, last time it was right  after the war when you turned into the one, y'know the spirit, It was really bittersweet to seem you then in front of me alive yet not so much..."Luke cried with heartfelt joy.. 


With a echoing but yet so silent calming voice, the spirit gleemed towards Kyle while still holding Luke hand as he won't let go.. 


" Yess it was a while ago, for me not so much, this form, the time is unclear, for me it seemed a few days ago... Soo you got a boy now I see, what a great young lad you got there took his beautiful hair from his beautiful mother I see, hmm but the eyes they seem yours but not soo, why I must ask, if y' don't mind me... "Rolieg asked as his voices echoed an eeirly way all throughout the room.. 
" Yess, Yess, it won't be a bother really Rolieg, it really been a while and yeah I got a kid, but ten years was a lot I would say.. The kid, our boy, his name's Kyle, his very nice good boy, Alicia and I really took good care of him nurturing, he's very talented, and like you he seems to be very interested in sorcery and world magic just like you.. " Luke replied.. Softly... 


" Well well, You named him after your Father it seems Luke, I understand, well and its always nice to have interest in these sorts of things it seems... " Rolieg answered in an intuitive manner.. 
Slowly the Grey glowing elderly entity rooled his eyes towards Kyle, now he hovered toward him as it looked and answered... In a gentle fashioned way.. 


" Hello Kyle, nice to meet you, I'm Rolieg, you must have hear from your father, I'm his old friend and his teacher of sorts.. As you can see, I am a spirit for now it seems, I died in the war which took place 10 years ago at Easton domain, I thought it was something you would like to know... Well you wanna ask something? "Rolieg ended his quote with a question.. 


" Yess, Yess, well if you don't mind that's nice and all about all, but this is my first time seeing a human spirit, sooooooo..... Can I pass my hand through your body pleasssse....? " Kyle questioned without a second thought.. 


Rolieg laughed abruptly, it seemed he haven't laughed in a long while it seemed, again his voices started to echo now with a louder tone.... 


" Yes you can!!!! Well I like you boy, this kind of mental attitude is what is needed in youngins these days...." 

As Kyle moved ahead and his hand entered thought his body, the other parts dematerialsed, and his hand swirled through like in smoke. 


"Ohh it feels cold inside, it's weird, yet good, the mana it is not bound, it's just passes away through it"Kyle replies in a amused tone.. 


Slowly wavering his hand, Rolied patted the boy's head as the boy hand continued to stay inside, as he said, 


"Well well your a smart one I see, well yes spirits don't consist of mana, so there is no control, it's just flow, we can just change the natural ways it can flow indirectly to communicate with it". 


As their conversations seems to come to an end after a while Rolied takes them to a different room, a room with a stone desk and orbs of mana stone as it's pillars on sides. 


As they stand in front of it, gathered, the stone project themselves on the desk above, creating a display on the desk. 


"Now for the business, Luke, your here for a quest right, I have a few on hand, the communion contacted me beforehand, and I had a view into what you discribed before.... So" 


As they graze through them, Kyle is intrigued on one, the one with I charge of creating Mana charges for the guild it seemed, but the twist which caught on to Kyle being the mana souls of magic wyverns which were required for the task, which on that needed to be procured individually.


 It seems to be a decent quest, and also acceptable by the party, as they decide on it, it seems to be the one,as they agree to take it on. 


Rolieg being the spirit medium, as to other branches he can communicate with ease as he let's know of the acceptance and readies for paperwork. 


As they accepted the quest, and parted with their elderly spirit friend.... 


"We might have time time to do it today, it's still noon if we catch up the spirit way tunnel, we might reach our destination on time" Luke replied 

As they all agreed to it, it seemed to be a right decision as soon they reached the hallways yet again, where now after a bunch of stairs and a few nooks and turns they reach another hall now with a warnished glowing black door and two beast attendees which stood their welcoming them. 

As they moved, and registered themselves and the location they were headed for, they prepared like normal. Whereas our boy was a little nervous, with his this being the first time traveling this way, it was something new for him yet unknown and also somehow  Luke and Alicia both seemed to have forgotten about this being Kyle's first time travelling this way.

 As they all normally got prepared for entering with carrying baggage they needed, all of them entered together with now after the door closed, Kyle tightly holding Alicia's hand as it seemed, even with the mind of a near adult  he was still a kid physically well within... 

Soon somehow not long after a few seconds have past, Kyle had felt weird yet new in a nice way, he seemed to stay still yet his body move away internally... 

After a few seconds they seemed to have reached their destination, their goal, as they opened their doors, the room was same yet now instead of two beastie antendees now a single human antendee remained. 

According as it seemed, the had reached the basil port and just upfront the town ahead the forrest  upon the mountains remained the nested wyverns.. 

The port seemed to be famous for their trade and atmosphere which was calming, neither too hot nor too cold to live for the year and humid enough, as the place marketed with rich goods from far afar as it seemed.. The geographical conditions seemed quite nice in all and government governing the place lied within Vale, the place was one of the important hallmarks for all of Vale... 

Kyle was intrigued by the place, it was very interesting for him to have a look at such things, the people there seemed to knew a lot of different languages as the place was popular and blossoming with trade... It was the right place of development.. 

As they continued with documentation and moved on the basil port seemed to be something really nice, as they have reached the westernmost part of Vale, where humid forests remained and winds prevailed. 

As they exited outwards, Kyle still felt like the Internal movements didn't stop yet inside of his body, agreeing with everyone they decides to stop for lunch at a nearby dinner, the port seemed to be popular for spices and meat the lunch would be excellent as they thought and planned for further of their expedition.... Kyle wasn't feeling well as in a little moving from inside as they sat their in the dinner while Luke ordered some food and drinks to help them  fells at ease.

Soon the food arrived it was rich in aroma of varied spices which Kyle had never tried before as well the drinks were unique, with fruits not commonly found where they lived, the emersion helped Kyle relived what he felt now felt a little fine then before and was ready for thinking and learning about the place... 

"We have packed everything it seems, yet a vital thing still remains u found, a shield, against wyverns is what is need the most!!" Luke intuitively answers.. 

"We have barriers, why the shields?"... Kyle questions.. 

"Well you never know when you'll need one" Luke answers with a smug.. 

"Ahh I saw an armory just before we entered here, we'll find some stuff there, I guess" Kyle answers... Blantly.. 

As they moved ahead finishing their lunches, the place they entered seemed to be a nice place, there were enchanted items already layed there for selling, including, shileds of various enchants, Thorns, Relectance, Slime and whatnot as they saw.... 

"No ready made enchants they seem to be quite a gold, I can enchant them if you need anyways..." Alicia blankly yet strictly instructs. .

As they continued with other smaller utilities and finished up their shopping. As they ended up with a few potions, ropes and metal and wooden spire shields for two... 

" I'll cast endurance and toughness on them later on" Alicia mentions again... 

Soon both of them take their shield and lie they on the grass  beside, where Alicia brings over and wand and crushing a few mana stones over them conjures and enchantment..

SMITHS AND SMOLDERS WHICH ALWAYS LIE WITHIN, 

NOW WITH ALL, NOT MORE THAN IN,

I HEED FOR A STRENGTH, WHICH WON'T BREAK APART, 

HELP ME, SOLIDIFY THIS AS A UNBREAKABLE SHART.. 

As they finished on, they seemed to now be ready to proceed for the hike to the mountains, as they had time and equipments on them and get go with the mission...
