I am the First Mage on Earth!

"Do you guys need help with that?"

He was a teenager. Just like us. He had dark red hair. Darker than Jason's hair. He was as tall as me. I couldn't notice anything else, my vision was already blurry.

"Who are you?"

"I am Aiken. Aiken Rextert. We can save your girlfriend first and talk later."

"...Okay."

Lydia was blushing so hard that couldn't refute what Aiken said. Anyway, I had only one arm usable at the moment. Any help I could get is welcome at this point. With the help of Aiken, we quickly removed the tree. I let Lydia hold on to me and we quickly get out of there. Her right leg was worse than I thought. It was bleeding nonstop.

"You will be okay. Trust me."

When she saw her leg's condition she was depressed. It was quite a horrible sight. I tried to reassure her. I had a thought that can help her. But while this Aiken guy was near us I couldn't do it.

"Hey! Aiken, we need an ambulance! We lost our phones, can you call one for us?"

"Alright. But you are wounded badly too."

"She needs it more than I do."

"Fine."

He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number of the hospital. While he was busy with that I put Lydia down. I don't have much time. Mana depletion will hit me severely this time. Before that happens I need to help Lydia.

Don't misunderstand. I can't heal her completely. But her leg is barely attached to her body right now. I just have to heal her enough that she can keep her leg. I put my right hand on her leg. I focused on her mana. A second later I could feel it. I shaped her mana with my intent. This was the hardest part. In a few seconds, her leg started to heal.

"Oscar... your eyes... they are glowing golden..."

Because of all that blood, it wasn't visible but some of the severed parts get connected again. This should be enough to save it from the worse. She was gritting her teeth. When the healing was done I smiled at her. Things that happened these last few hours took a toll on me.

She was saying something to me but I couldn't hear it. There was only an annoying ringing. After making sure I saved her I relaxed. My vision went dark and I fell unconscious.

When I opened my eyes everywhere around me was water. Oh, I came here again. I get up where I was sprawling. At the center was the cocoon, again. So she really went back to her cocoon. Then why am I here?

"You are here."

I heard a voice I didn't know. When I turned back to see who it is I was shocked. Kairi at least looked like a human. But the person in front of me was different. She was a mature-looking lady that has massive purple butterfly wings on her back.

She must be spirit. No, a Great Spirit. But she looks so pale and unhealthy. Even her purple hair looks unhealthy.

"Who are you?"

"I am Amaris. The last living Great Moon Spirit."

"I am Oscar. Nice to meet you."

"I already know who you are, Oscar Williams."

"Then why am I here?"

She fell silent. It's not a hard question. Kairi is already in her cocoon. So it is about her. Or what she wants to tell me.

"I pulled you here to warn you. This place is the Spirit realm. And it is collapsing."

"That's not something good to hear."

The spirit realm is collapsing. This sounds quite bad. But warn me beforehand. It is fishy.

"Can you clarify things for me? It sounds bad but I don't understand."

"I suppose. We spirits lived here for thousands of years. Realm has been protected by guardian spirits. I am the last guardian. In two months from now, it will collapse."

"That sounds awfully bad. But what can I do about it? I am just a human."

"Fufufu..."

She giggled. From her eyes, I must seem like a fly. Kairi's mana was overwhelming but the mana I'm feeling from Amaris is even dwarfing it.

While struggling against the forest fire I have been reminded of who am I. A human. Even though I have mana when it runs out I have nothing left.

"You are amusing. You are the first mage on earth. You have been recognized by spirits."

I have been recognized by spirits? So, that's it? I am the first mage on earth? Well, who cares. I am the first mage on earth!

"That is why I have come to warn you. What do you think would happen when this place collapses? They will be released into the world."

Suddenly an image comes to my mind. Hundreds of spirits as strong as Kairi on earth. It sounds horrible.

My vision began to blur once again. Amaris looked at me and smiled. She had sadness in her eyes.

"The world you know will change soon. You have to get ready."

"Why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because your grandfather ask-"

Before I could hear rest everything went dark. Dammit! I lost concussions again.

When I have come to myself I was lying in a strange bed. Looking up I was an unfamiliar ceiling.

After looking around I understand that this is a hospital room. Ah, I did fell unconscious before. So they brought me here.

I tried to get up but couldn't manage it. Seems like my body is even more wounded than I first thought. Even moving a little hurt like hell.

My left arm is in a lot of bandages. I can't even see the skin of it. The worse part is I can't feel it. So this is what Kairi mentioned. I hope it will turn to normal fast.

After a few minutes door of the room opened. A young nurse come in. When she saw me awake she surprised by it.

"You are awake! Please wait here, I go call the doctor!"

She quickly get out of the room. Is it that weird for me to be awake? Another minute later doctor come too. He was skinny old man.

"Hello, Oscar. I am Martin Devouch. I'm your doctor. We need the check your condition."

"Nice to meet you, doctor. Pelease, go on."

After checking my body doctor had a difficult face. I know there are a lot of wounds on my body. But is it that bad?

"Honestly, you should have been sleeping. I don't know how you wake up. You must have suffered great pain because of your wounds. Your body has a lot of wounds and it will take two months to heal, at least. And your left arm is in even worse condition. It will take even longer to heal."

After saying all this to me he fell silent. He was carefully watching my expressions. Strange thought comes to me. A doctor should be telling all this to me? Whatever. Let's focus on the important matter.

"We will give you painkillers. If you feel discomfort or anything else about your wounds, please call the nurse."

"Thank you."

After saying everything he left the room. I have two months before the spirit realm collapses. I have to heal before it happens. Let's heal first, then stop the emergence of the spirits.
