The Druid chp 9

The Druid chp 9 I get some crystals

“Ok What do I do to train do I have to take a series of tests or something.” “Yes but only one. There is a tree made up of pure magic energized crystals and talismans you must go there and come back with enough of those crystals so my people may carve it into a weapon of your choice.” She said turning her head to look at me. Sounds great but is there a catch” Yes the tree is huge not only that but from it sprouts creatures that then protect it.

“Great” I commented sarcastically.

After my conversation with Artica about my mission I asked if I Was allowed to bring any weapons with me into the cave. She said that I could bring with me the weapon I had brought to this land.

The next morning I set out for the cave. It took me about nine or ten days until I got there. When I did get there I immediately set up camp outside of the cave and began sensing. I felt a greatly powerful presence in the cave but it was not an evil or good presence it was more like a solitary presence.

The next day I went into the cave from which I was attacked by two creatures made up of gems. They were beautiful they were mostly made up of purple gems they had the general shape of a dog but they also had spikes sticking out of there back. I unsheathed my sword even though I new it would not help me.

Then an idea came to me. Immediately I sheathed me sword and drew the staff off of my back. I then said. “ZAL NOK FALV KOLK”.

I could immediately feel the ground beneath start to become part of me. I got into a fighting position and drawing strength from the ground. I cracked the first of the two with my now nearly unbreakable staff and shattered its face. I then turned to face the second one that lunged at me a little to quickly I accidentally dropped my staff and grabbed the creature by the throat. I immediately saw this as a mistake as the sharp spikes stabbed into my hands gritting my teeth I threw it at the wall picked up my staff and cracked the creature into two.

I looked around a little dazed as the spell wore off once I regained my senses I put back my staff and drew my sword again. I started to walk down the tunnel when I heard loud scraping noise that made my ears hurt. I gritted my teeth and pushed onward though the sound was nearly deafening.
I walked a good two hundred yards before out of no were came this gigantic humanoid monsters that sparkled with a radiating force. I saw that he was the one making the scraping noise because it looked like every time he moved the crystals scraped against one another. He then grabbed a huge bolder and hurled it at me luckily I leaped to the side. The bolder missed me but only by a couple inches. I then thought up a plan I dropped my sword and raised my staff I then said few magic words and flashed a huge sunbeam at the golem. When the sunbeam hit the golem it shrieked as he saw that the beam was making him so bright thanks to his crystals it reflected it through out his body with so much power it was wearing out all of the joints through pressure he became dust in seconds.

I started walking down the tunnel again. Several times I was attacked but I was able to defeat them with a little bit of power from my staff. Finally I saw it a tree that must have been three hundred feet in diameter and was at least six hundred feet tall. It was beautiful until a doubt came to me. How was I supposed to ship any thing off of the tree that was as hard as diamond without hurting the crystals he chips then another idea came. I said some magic words and took some seeds from one of my small pouches and threw the next to the tree said some more magic words and willed the seeds grow into plants. And slowly with satisfaction I saw the plants slowly grow into the tree separating a heap of crystals out of the main mass.

Once all of the crystals I needed were packed. I sighed with satisfaction not only because I had gotten some crystals but because I knew that the plants would keep on growing around the tree for the tree a had a powerful aura and the plant could feed off of the aura and grow and grow until it was strong enough to feed off of its own aura and finally the two became one and there for mad huge benefits to one another. I also figured out the reason my magic was so powerful while in the cave was because with out knowing it I had used the power from the tree. I emerged from the cave unchallenged and packed up then started to walk back to the castle of Zeln. It took a couple of days but nothing touched my good mood. Once in the city I went off to meet Artica at the wizards throne.

Once I got to the wizards throne I saw that the wizards were having a meeting so I quickly left. I sat at a bench next to the tower soon Artica emerged. She asked me if I had the crystals and I said yes. She soon took me to the black smiths forge were the black smith looked amazed to see the crystals and asked me what I wanted him to make in very respectful voice. I said a staff a lance and a sword would work very well. The black smith set to work immediately and so the next day I had my weapons.
