It has been 12 days since we had passed by Golimir's Home. During the passing days I have learned other types of Sphial techniques and I have been able to materialize most simple parts of elements, while the elements are all different in the aspects, the hardest one to control was fire, I have also figured out why.

As the reason why fire uses oxygen, it is different when it comes to Sphial, just like how oxygen can be considered as a specific energy that fire can not live without, if fire is created based on Sphial it produces an even denser effect since Sphial is not a concurring thing within people and the like. Basically, Sphial is like the air for fire, and the more you can produce, the more it takes, however, if I can perfectly maintain the output of how much Sphial I absorb, then holding a ball of fire is as easy as holding a rock and breathing on it.

Now, about other matters, the girl I have been traveling with has come to understand my gestures much more easily, I taught her about military signs and since it helps better I explained some signs using a stick on dirt to help. I figured that the girl didn't know understand the words I spoke, it would greatly mean that she is from another land.

If we ran out of food we could stop the carriage and lay traps far and camp for a bit, I also learned that the more further one is in the forest, the more easily you will encounter monsters, but roads and other things similar will not count. We have come across a few other farms and this time I have remembered to ask where the nearest city was. Even if it was hard to pass through the gates, we could lie about our situation and enter based on that, so I really had no problem.

The only problem was how far it was, so while it took us a few days I started learning how to master using the elements, I'm not the best at it, but I can now manifest rocks a speed of 9 seconds, fire takes 5 seconds since the combustion is much more faster then material objects, water takes 12 and to create anything else takes about as long as 21 seconds.

Changing the form has also become quite easy, I first did it with the magic light, I could form it into a lightbulb a small but really bright pebble, and a liquid. After learning it the easy way with the magic light which was the first thing I learned to use, I tried learning it with rock, it was a bit harder but if I focus for a good while on absorbing the Sphial, it becomes relatively easy to do.

Now, about the city we are headed to.

I asked the villagers first if they knew which was the first city nearby, I was told that the city of Theos was the closest, they told us it would take about 3 weeks to get there at best, and since a week and a half has passed, now we just need a week and 2 days if we kept at our speed. The people out in the farms were really generous to give us some small pieces of copper on our trip, or maybe just because we look like kids, I mean the girl was just a head shorter than me.

We came across many things in our way as I drove though the fields passing the forest, we were now on prime land of the kingdom of Fargand. We still had some food, and rather then taking just anything I asked the farmers if they mind we take some of their food. There were some different types of vegetable that grew in this world, except for potatoes, they were grown here as well.

I took my time with Sphial creation and manifestation, as it gets better the more I use it, I always keep messing around with rocks when it gets darker, and as I get better becoming able to form elements to objects starts becoming easier. I also didn't think about it before but, there's a great chance I could mix elements to get specific kind of things, like molten lava. Soon, I will be able to, soon I will.

Okay so starting of on basic qualities of elements like fire, and rock, I practiced trying to keep 2 separate elements in each of my hands, it was much more harder then it seemed. If I could explain how difficult it was, well, it was like holding a baby in one hand and holding a crazy dog in the other, I had to control how much Sphial I could absorb in different parts of my body, if I can keep a balanced act then I could juggle 3 elements if I get he hand to this.
