ch5 Second room
As Cross fired a mana ball which the sparrow dodge swiftly by spinning in mid-air while aiming its talons on Cross. He rolled forwards to barely dodge. As Cross aimed again and fired multiple mana blasts while maintaining his power output and mana capacity.
"It's faster than any bird I saw in my past life," Cross said cursing on his master for building this dungeon he was at. "Well I'll have to teach him some manners *Chuckles* It isn't that fast maybe hahaha"
As Cross eyed the sparrow that was going around him barely keeping up with it as he was slowly getting hurt all over his body as fresh blood drip to the ground. The sparrow becomes faster with every second that has passed. Cross saim his wand and fired 10 mana blast at the sparrow only to dodge it slowing it down for a second before speeding away.
"Damn it think Cross what should you do. The spell you have only fired in one direction it wouldn't turn or anything like that" He said dodging the talons of the sparrow while it moves back a few meters away from Cross and stayed in mid-air fapping its wings.
Cross stumbles down the ground and breath heavily trying to take in the air as he was exhausted a little light-headed because of blood loss and loss of mana. Taking a breather Cross thinks to himself how to get the sparrow he needed to destroy it before 12 hours or it's gonna take a long time for him to finish this dungeon. He only has 6 more days left an extra 1 day for resting while the other 5 days to complete this dungeon that has 6 in total having a different kind of task to finish it.
"I need to think of something or ill definitely will be defeated or even killed by this tiny ass bird come on how can it be so dangerous while so small..." Cross put his hands on his in and taught himself how to pass the room he is in right now.
Cross pondered for about an hour until he has an idea. He got up and pointed his wand on the little sparrow his eyed glowed in a dark collor that he doesn't even know it. Slowl his wands give a shine that slowly flote midair on the tip of his wands. "Imagin a sphere of mana, imagine my target moving and how strong my mana ball is gonna be to destroy it, imagine my mana to follow until it hit it, imagine Cross stay focus in all times" Evey single second the small ball of mana was getting wider until it was now as long and wide as the sparrow. Black glow circulated it slowly revolving around the bigger mana ball that gives it balance and can let Cross adjust the mana blast so it would let him control it.
Cross opened his eyed and fired at the sparrow following it with his eyes so his mana blast won't miss its target. As the sparrow flew around him his black-eyed look at Cross with a smile that no one would notice except for me of course Dream the maker of it. Everything has its story so does this wooden sparrow. His story is to help Cross perfect his aiming and mind thinking. To let him create or imitate a spell he doesn't know. It is one of the gifts given to him by my friend. To create or copy a spell or ability with his imagination alone.
As Cross mana blast keeps coming closer to the sparrow. It spread up and charge at Cross who jump to his left avoiding the suicide of the sparrow to take him with it. "Damn it follow him Cross you can do it. Come on just a little more and ill competed for this task. come on...come on!... COME ON!!!" Cross shouted his eyes glowed darker following the sparrow's movement until it slightly touches its wing completely obliterating its left wings. The sparrow look at Cross who was panting on the ground as he releases all of his mana and stamina just to reach him. His wing grew back and he flew to the edge of the room and look at Cross.
"Ha...ha...I...almo~" He doesn't even finish his words before his vision blurred and his body slowly came down to the ground making him unconscious. As his body relax and a small amount of blood flowed out of his mouth the sparrow came to him and lick his blood before vanishing in place and appearing on the edge of the room looking at Cross with a small smile. "Not bad Dream he would be a fine magician *Kara* yes fine one," The small wooden sparrow said a line of mana trailed off him towards the dragon county I was in Dream. Cross won't see it even a seventh core would have a hard time sensing it of how small of a line it really was.

Inside Cross's mind, in endless darkness, one is sitting hugging his legs crying on the ground. This was him when he was a child. He was only back then. Doesn't have any friends or anyone to get warmth from. But he didn't give up he continued to rise from the ground slowly turning his life upsidedown he roamed the world making children adults and old people happy with his music. A protegee by the making but he died one day when he was saving some child as he smiled at him when his chest was fierce at a metal pole that slowly drained all colors from his face. But he kept on smiling and comforting the child. He gave up all his fame power and love for a child who he doesn't know. Cross closes his eyes darkness filled them.

Cross opened his eyes in a room. He rubs his eyes and got up. He still remembered his past life. His determination grew as he held his wands again pointing at the sparrow that is floating in front of him. He has already fallen asleep for 8 hours so his stamina and mana are fully replenished and his mind is calm. "This will be the last of you little sparrow. Just wait ill get out of this dungeon and turn this world of murder and war into a peaceful one even if I have to sacrifice myself again. ILL MAKE THIS WORLD UNDERSTAND THAT WAR ISINT ALWAYS THE ANSWER!!!"
Cross yeld on top of his lungs making the sparrow widen his eyes and a small smirk appeared on his wooded beak or lips. As Cross fired two mana blasts that are now known as mana seeking blast. It needed construction for the spell to work and see the object you're trying to hit. As the sparrow flow sideways zigzag and even spinning mid-air making the mana seeking blast miss it by a few strands of hair.
"Follow it Cross don't lose sight of it," He said slowly getting dizzy about how much he needed to spin his head and body just to keep up with the sparrow's speed as it slowly increases. Cross fired two more mana seeking blast. "KAAAAA" The sparrow shouted and headed in Cross's direction. He closes his eyes making the mana seeking blast go off its direction by few millimeters and miss him and the sparrow that is now impaling his abdomen. Cross didn't yell his wand glowed in his hand and aim at the sparrow. He held it in place. Blood flowed from his abdomen to the ground and small blood drip from his mouth. "Omena" his end fired one last blast to the sparrow burning it slowly on the ground as Cross let it fall. "Done...ha...Ib...done it...ha...finally~" As he loss concise.
The sparrow opened its eyes and look at cross with a wide smile. "hahaha Dream I like this kid *Kara* you have a good student" The sparrow said before losing its ability to speak and see. "of course *Chuckles* Sleep well Cross you still have 4 more rooms to go before your an get your staff and officially become my student"
