CHAPTER 22

Rosaria pov

I opened my eyes to see the little girl in green gown looking down at me with worry smeared all over her face.

Welcome back she said and gave a weak smile, I thought I have lost you.

This is the most she has said to me since we met and am glad she is talking to me. At least one person I can share this heavy borthen with in this world is enough for me to not go crazy.

How long have I been out, I asked her and she said a few hours only. Thankfully you were able to pull through, those creatures poisoned your body so you will stay here with me for a while longer. Am afraid if you wake up your physical body won't be able to handle the effect of the poison but with you here I can heal you but you will need a few hours to heal completely both here and the physical world.

So where excatly are we I asked again looking at the vast blue ocean and the tall forest in the other hand.

She smiled and said I will help you daughter of Gaia but, something's you will have to find out yourself. She put both her hands on me and her palms illuminated a bright light and she kept moving her hands all over my body till it got to my throat and I cough out a great amount of black smoke.

She repeated the healing process for three times and each time I cough out smoke then she finally placed her hands on my chest and I felt the warmth I felt when the flaries queen gave me her blessings.

There you go. She said happily when she was done and I felt healed.

I am glad you have come this far in your journey but I must say, you haven't scratch the surface of your destiny yet. Since you have been blessed with the power of the wood element and you know the fundamentals of using it's power, I will teach you the remaining of it while you are still here just so you can protect yourself more in the future.

Blessed with the power of the wood element? I asked confused.

Yes dear, the flary queen as the guardian of the forest blessed you with her elemental powers and there is so much you can do with it than grow rose thorns and strick at rocks.

Yes? How can I do that? I only access the power when am in rage, I can't call it at my own will. So how will I learn how to completely access and attain the full potential of the wood element.

That is why I am here. Now for your first lesson, I want you to call a bird to yourself. I will demonstrate.

She closed her eye for a few seconds and when she opend it a great flock of dove flow in our direction and gathered above us while some descended on the sands and some settled on her shoulder. And then they all flow away.

That's wonderful I complimented her and she smiled at me for a split second and then said your turn. Close your eyes and listen to nature it's self. All your senses are heighten and you can listen to everything at once, like the sound of the crickets, the birds and everything alive in the forest. Even the trees.

Make out the sounds of the birds and give an order to them, tell them to come to you and they will.

I did as she said but of course I am not a pro at magic so I had my struggle for the first one hour and it didn't work.

Look into your heart, listen to the sounds of the birds, join there conversation, make your presence known to them and communicate with them, then and only then will you tell them what you want and they will understand you and do it because you have the power of the goddess herself.

After about another half an hour I heard the wings of the doves flapping in the distance and coming towards my direction. They settled on me and I could feel their joy and loyalty to me, like they would die if I asked them to die, I could hear them talking and some struggling to settle on me. This is incredible and awesome.

Guess what? I can call any other animal of nature and they will heed my call, I am a queen to them.

That is it kora, now we will keep progressing with the lesson. For the next lesson you will be growing grass where there is no grass, fruits where there is none and giving life to dead tress.

She demonstrated and so did I. For the next few hours I kept practicing till I finally could do it. I grow my grasses and commanded tree branches to grow larger in size, this way when am attacking, my attack will be stronger and more firm. I remembered Oliver and our little fight. Just you wait moron, when I wake up try to stop me from leaving again and you will be the first to test my wrath I thought determined.

She then went forward to teach me how to give life to dead animals that had died within a span of one hour, after that they cannot be revived she told me and I also practiced that aspect of my new powers.

Next was creating the ball of light to fight the creatures of the dark like Blanca did. Am so grateful I can finally do all the trick, had I known how to attain this level of the wood element, maybe that town wouldn't have been destroyed they way it was, I would have saved that young soul and returned those creatures back to dust and smoke just the way they are supposed to be till that heartless demon king resurrected them and sent them after me.

How can I marry such a man, I will put up a great fight before I go along with him.

Once I was done practicing I was thinking the sun will go down now but it was still up and shining like it was only day here and never night.

It is time you return back to the physical world, or you physical body will decay. She said to me with a smiley face as usual.

Wait, am I dead? I asked her with fear in my eyes but she just kept smiling and respond. Without food for so long a time it is only normal you die.

One more thing kora, be careful how you use yours powers least you attract unwanted attention to yourself. Remember your identity most remain hidden if you want to succeed and fullfil your destiny. Don't demonstrate your powers in the open and try not to get cought using them. It is not normal for a white witch to do all that I have thought you.

There are darker force's that you don't know about looking for you. A slight mistake will lead them straight to you and believe me I am not sure if I might be able to help you.
