Red and Blue

chapter 6 Trama

The lake up top.

After a few minutes of calming down, I decided to try some easy magic. It seems now some people try to do magic is to do some visualization. Some use there emotions to control. Example, someone's angry and use an attack it will make it more powerful, but they will just spew power, not being to focused. So most try to use visualization.

If someone is too emotional no matter what emotion, in someway they'll be at some point of disadvantage. It's not always a disadvantage though, like if you know someone has a bad key point and whatever emotion your feeling gives you an advantage.

Though I'm not feeling a specific emotion at the moment so I'll visualize. I'll try fire first. I go outside, and see if there's dead tree branches. Since its a forest i go and get a few branches on the ground.

I go near my home and and make a little pile of sticks. I breath in, and out trying to visualize the fire. I feel a little warmth go through my hand and one of the branches caught fire. It was a little flame going out quickly, but I was happy.

I'm glad I'm not a horrible cheat that can do things instantly, because where's the fun in that. I mean sure learning and studying sucks sometimes but I've never done this before so I'm having fun.

I've practised fire for a while and next I try water, then earth, lastly air. Each was interesting for example water was tricky, you have to visualize water running to create a little water. Earth was easier, you had to visualize rock and dirt forming. Last air, I was okay at it. I imagined air flowing around and created a tiny swirl of air to form but it was really really tiny.

I don't have a reason to practice dark or light yet so I'll try them after I practice these four first.

When I'm done practicing I look up and see the sun, it looks like I've been practicing for a few hours. I feel a little tired. Since it's probably from the looks of it a little after noon I'll look at the maps to look for a place for food and water

I look at the maps and see there should be a lake about a fifteen minute walk away, I go and start walking to check it out.

I'm there and I have to admit it's amazing. It looks like it's separated into two sections, each side is filled with pretty clear water. The water reflects the trees and plants around it. Some trees are different colors. hear can't believe people haven't rediscovered this yet.

The water looks nice, but to be safe I'll practice water more so I can start to purify the water. I look around and find berries. Some look similar to some earth berries, but there are some weird ones, like a bright purple coconut in and oval shape.

I'll bring some weird ones back to see what there called, and see if I can eat them. I don't take the normal looking berries either just in case. I start to feel hungry so I head back. I

If those berries are edible I'll be happy, but I'll have to search for more food sources just in case. Like If there's winter, I'm not sure if the berries will survive.

That got me thinking. 'I can't make everything, so I'll have to somehow trade or use the money I got'.
I still need to learn about money and how much I have.

I get home and eat some dried meat with some water again. I look in the manual and see those berries were edible. It seems the purple coconut is rare and hard to find. In the center of the shell there's juice combined with lots of pink berries in the middle.

I take the knife the gods gave me and pierce the top, which is it's soft spot. There's purple juice in the middle with a lot of berries. I try the drink... It tastes like strawberry milk!! I'm very excited, I thought I wouldn't be able to drink this type of stuff here.

I'm very happy about this already. Next I try the berries, I'm surprised again this time it tastes like a watermelon but in a berry consistency. I'm loving this fruit to death already.

By the time I'm done with the fruit fiasco it's starting to turn dark. I but the fruit on a small table i found and head to my room. I look at the rocks again and look in the manual to see what there called. It seems in rock form there called Moon Stones, but if you ground them up in to a powder you get Dusk Powder, which people but in jewelry, and lanterns with many other things.

I start to get tired so I lay on my bed. I'm so excited from today I didn't think of unnecessary thoughts.
My eyelids grow heavy and I fall asleep.

***************************

I'm running through my house. I look back and see that man. He reaches forward, and grabs my hair. I see my sister crying behind him, I can't hear what she's saying. The awful man looks at my with a terrifying grin.

He whispers in my ear, **** ****. I look at my sister, 'at least she's safe'.

His arm comes forward, near my eyes.

******************************
I bolt up out of my bed screaming. I can't breath, I'm crying. 'i'm so stupid, I thought I could finally get away'.
I'm crying, I'm crying. I feel empty. I look at my arm dully, 'it seems some scars transported onto this body'.

I don't sleep for the rest of the night.
