Amyra

Chapter 20

" Well I should take this free time to get ready and use those herbs I received from Little Ball to upgrade my cultivation", Amyra announced, as she walked into the bathroom of the cottage. Fulling up the bathtub with water, Amyra heated it up using her fire element in cultivation which she really didn't have time to work with or level up since meeting Omar. 

After placing a set of 10000-year herbs into the bath, Amyra stripped and went into the water. Lying down in the water and enjoying the heat, Amyra felt very comfortable.

"Little Ball activate 'Bottomless pit'", Amyra asked Little Ball, as she felt the effects of the herbs begin to kick in.

Upon saying that Amyra once again felt comfortable, as the effect of the title canceled out all the negative effects and only the benefits of the herbs remained, which entered her system at a fast pace due to the effect of that title. Amyra then submerged herself in the water.

'Ding! Skill: Water breathing Lv 1 acquired- Allows host to breathe under-water for 10 minutes'

Hearing Little Balls' notification, Amyra smiled under the water as she continued to stay under it to test out and improve this skill. After 1 hour of submersion, Amyra then decided to come out of the bath, and her head emerged out of the water. She then went through the space tool the manager gave her to look for something proper to wear upon entering her room. 

"This will do", Amyra said, picking a gown that flowed to her ankles like a calm spring of water.

'It's long but semi-formal good for a get-together with the cultivators, plus it also has a hidden function. I guess I would find that out soon', Amyra thought, looking into the floor-length mirror. 'Now as for shoes.. I'll wear these heels for now. I always liked heels but was too scared to wear them before but now I'm a cultivator my senses and movements are lighter and easier so it shouldn't be a problem now'.

Looking at herself in the mirror Amyra smiled upon seeing her good sense of style.

"My hair...I'll just curl it gently with wind and heat Sp. It's soo cool the uses of the different types of Sp!", Amyra said, astonished by the effectiveness of her magic, "It's effects are even better and faster than using a curler!"

'Ding! Wind skill max level reached,

Ding! Heat skill max level reached'

'Skills upgraded and combined into new skill weather lv 1'

"Wow! That's unexpected and fast! Well, I guess I don't have to worry about the weather anymore", Amyra said laughing, " I could also help with my cultivation using it correctly". 

"Oh well..I'll leave those thoughts for another day. This evening is for relaxation", Amyra exclaimed leaving her cottage.

'I've always wanted to try flying on a sword, that was my main focus on learning sword arts', Amyra thought, remembering the elders on their flying swords. 

"let's take out my sword and try", Amyra said, taking out her 'ordinary sword'. She slowly got unto it, after making it levitate in front of her using sword arts, then firmed her position on it so that she wouldn't fall off, using wind Sp to do so. She then slowly increased her altitude and horizontally flew off at an alarming speed, after using clairvoyance to see where the party would be held. She saw an elder coming to greet her in the distance so she slowed down to a stop waiting for him to meet her.

" Miss. Amyra, I was just coming to show you the way to the party but it seems you already know. Sorry for the late arrival!", Doran exclaimed, realizing and apologizing for his mistake. "It's alright, I didn't inform you I was leaving to come, it's my fault", Amyra apologized, noticing what she did was inconsiderate.

"No..NO problem", Doran exclaimed hurriedly, as he heard her apology. Calming himself he led her to the venue both of them arriving at the gates at the top of the mountain. All cultivators were present at the party this time and seeing this Amyra became nervous, as she slowly descended on her sword behind Doran at the edges of the crowd. Reaching about a foot from the ground Amyra stopped her descent and jumped off her sword quickly and smoothly while bringing her sword to her side and holding it in her hand. 'Was the sword too much?', Amyra thought, looking at the lost looks on the faces of the cultivators. 

She then turned to Doran to see what was wrong and noticed the same surprised and lost look on his face, as he gazed at the sword in her hand. 'It is the sword! But I thought it was ordinary in terms of appearance, enough to bring to the party without too much attention. I really like flying on it too.. but from now on I have to limit it so this doesn't happen too often', Amyra thought, looking at her sword.

'I didn't realize it when I met her but... her sword..it's.. a  artifact grade a high leveled one too, with immense sword Qi!!', Doran thought, with a flabbergasted look on his face. Looking at Amyra's anxious demeanor, he calmed himself down and announced to the crowd, " Let the party begin!", which broke the quiet atmosphere, as the cultivators blew out a breath of relief and started to mind their own business.

"Shall we?", Doran asked Amyra, stretching out his arm toward their seats. Amyra nodded. They then sat down, as a few cultivators came and poured them drinks.

"Alcohol?", Amyra said smelling it. " Yes", Doran answered with a smile. " Sorry but I don't drink", Amyra said putting down her cup after smelling it, 'That incident won't happen again on my watch', Amyra thought with a scowl on her face.

"Yes of course!", Doran exclaimed, as he ordered the servants to change her drink. "I Know It will be a little much to say this, but none of you should ever touch or drink that forbidden thing, it will lead to your downfall", Amyra announced with a serious look on her face, "It's a sin and you cultivator should know what sinning does to your cultivation, mentality, and soul. Of course, this is just a warning and a word of advice from me who believes in God and drinking alcohol being a sin".

Doran looked toward Amyra blankly, 'She is wise beyond her years! To figure this wisdom at such an early age!'. "Yes! Servants remove all alcohol from the sect and let no cultivator touch it ever again. It is to be forbidden in the sect as of now. Anyone seen drinking or carrying it will suffer the consequences", he announced, as the servants began to run around doing so carrying out this precious and important task.

Amyra nodded in his direction happy with his decision. Letting out a breath, ' I thought he would have been mad and reject my guidance but he is indeed a cultivator with a good temperament', Amyra thought smiling towards him gently.

Some cultivators put on a show using their arts, some did sword dances and others did elemental arts of creativity which surprised, astounded, and entertained Amyra.

"Since I came to this world I never had this much fun", Amyra said with a sad but joyful smile on her face, unknowingly speaking this out loud. Realizing this after a while, she turned around to notice all the elders looking at her with amazement and curiosity.

' Did she come down from the heavens?!! It's no wonder she's so out of place here!! All the stuff she showed us and did so selflessly. She must have received those from there too!'

'She's too nice!!! To bring such treasures to us for free!!'

"You look sad do you miss it?", Doran asked Amyra after a while of silence, noticing her sad smile shocking the rest elders present and Amyra. 

 "Yes, every day, but I live on", Amyra said mysteriously, looking into the sky with a sad, melancholy look on her face. Afterward smiling at them brightly saying, " I have a lot to do and see here too. And meeting you all helped me relax a little more".

The elders were sad for her but seeing as she became happy and said that, they were relieved. 'No young person should go through this but she is strong, she will be alright. I'm sure God is with her', they all shared similar thoughts.

"Let us enjoy the night!", Amyra announced, as if to ease the atmosphere. "Yes!", all the elders answered her enthusiastically.
