???'s Legacy
Q.6.What are the symptoms of Mana Poisoning?
= The symptoms of mana poisoning can vary wildly from case to case. This is because one of the major symptoms is the inability to control spells or magic. Patients often will cast spells chaotically with out intending to, which can very dangerous for both the mage and people around them. The spells can vary depending on the mage's skill set or the effects of the enchantment or poison that caused it.

Dead Sea.
Rudra coated his whole body with minimal mana for protection and dived deep into the Dead sea.
Darkness, endless darkness, an eerie silence spread throughout the whole sea, not a speck of light was able to reach here. He didn't even find a single animal. But he still continued to dive in until he found a tunnel.
' I am close.'
In the deep sea, rocky ground and little sand holes appeared everywhere. But Rudra paid no mind to them. With his skill Mana vision, he was able to locate a tunnel leading more deeper into the sea.
' Woahaaaaaa...'
As he got near the tunnel, a sudden force hit his body. His body swirled around with the flow of water in the tunnel. He lost consciousness.
----------------------------------------------------------------
" Oh! finally someone made it here." a hooded figure sitting on a stone floor in a meditative pose exclaimed in surprise.
the occasional sound of water from a pond rang throughout the cave. Spikes protruded from the ceiling of the cave, a dark coloured moss type grass spread throughout the walls of the cave.
A body of a 16 years old boy was laid on the floor near the pond.
" Garhhh... huff... huff... garh....."
He coughed out all the water in his respiratory system.
" Come here boy."
A deep voice came out of the hooded figure's mouth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is this pressure?
I raised my head to look at the hooded figure who was sitting on the same spot from the beginning.
As soon as I saw the figure in front of me, my mind went blank. It felt like time itself was stopped. Even my heart seems to be stopped beating momentarily.
Dark cloak covered his body, dark violet gas swirled around his body, his face was unidentifiable as a dark coloured mist swirled around his face. Suddenly, a pair of violet coloured eyes prortured out from the dark mist. His mere presence felt so majestic.
Thump thump thump.
But rather than feeling scared I felt excited. My heart started beating loudly. This feeling was new to me, but I couldn't tell what it was.
" Come here boy." the hooded figure spoke in the same deep voice.
I felt a chill run down my spine, the excitement I felt also quickly disappeared. After a moment, my mind stabilized a bit.
I racked my brain to think of my current situation.
' Is he the one Terra mentioned?'
' He is still alive after three million years!, how?'
" It' not as you think boy, I am dead. this is a mere remnant of my soul." the figure spoke.
" S-"
" Don't bother boy, even though I am a remnant soul, I can still perceive things happening in my backyard (Earth). I know everything. I will help you."
The hooded figure said too many things in too short words causing Raudra's mind to short circuit. It disappeared and reappeared in front of Rudra. He tapped his index finger on Rudra's forehead.
" Hmm.. what's this? a soul connection? It's in the form of a system? It's really weak"
He let out a confused voice.
" Doesn't matter, get out of here. He is going to become my legacy holder, I won't allow him to be controlled by the likes of you." He scoffed.
" Honestly you are not suitable for my legacy boy, you only have one elemental affinity which is compatible with my legacy, but that's it. I would never have passed down my legacy to you, but I can't wait any longer."
A violet coloured mist formed on the forehead of Rudra in the shape of a wisp and disappeared in an instant.
" I will give you a gift which might help you in increasing that affinity."
" I don't expect anything from you, just pass on my legacy to someone more suitable before you die." He said in a helpless tone and disintegrated into the dark violet particles and entered Rudra's forehead.
Rudra's pupil shrank, and his breathing became ragged. He fell down unconcious on the floor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An endless space filled with the darker violet colour appeared before Rudra as he stood there naked (soul form). He got lost in thoughts after witnessing such an absurd scene in front of him.
Slowly the memories of events that happened before flooded his mind. But he wasn't able to think much as he felt an excoriating pain in his head.
" Argh....."
He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw to stop from screaming, but he couldn't. His mind was a mess, it felt as though thousands of needles were poking his head, he felt out of breath, he felt as though something was trying to come out but couldn't. He clenched his hair and sat in the empty air. He rolled his body left and right to lessen his pain, but nothing seems to help in lessening the pain he is going through.
After an endless amount of time, the pain stopped. A sense of relief washed over Rudra as he disappeared from the place.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Urghh...."
A groan escaped from Rudra's mouth. He sat up while rubbing his eyes. He looked around the cave, but didn't find anyone. He crawled toward the pond to wash his face.
Splash.. splash...
He sobered up after washing his face. He remembered the events that happened before. His body shook as he remembered the pain he felt in his soul form.
" What was that?..... where is that man?..."
" Don't worry boy, I am inside your soul realm. You should get out of here first. The situation outside is grim. We need to do something or your planet is going to end up dead." A voice rang inside Rudra's mind.
' This damn old man, he says too many things in too few words.'
' Is he inside my mind?'
' Fuck it, Let's get out of here first.'
