Things sure have gotten quiet and quite suddenly at that. I could only hope it's for the best. For those that knew Cless and Arche, they've recently left the City. Let me know if they've left anything undone and I'll see to it that it's taken care of. Thanks.

My name is Klarth F. Lester. I've been informed by Yuri that the best person to contact, pertaining to the development of summon spirits or so I assume that's what they're also known as in your world, is you. If you wouldn't mind and would spare me some time, I'd like to ask a few questions. Thank you.
[Voice filter to Chester and Suzu:]
How are you both doing?
[Private Journal Entry//hackable:]
So now two more have managed to leave. I could only hope ours is next.
It was really good to see you again, Cless. I never imagined I'd be with everyone again and in a foreign land of all places. Hopefully, you would have become an even greater man the next time, if there ever is one, I see you. Take care.
And well, Arche. I'm certain I will still see you stop by once in a while. But, until I figure a way back myself.. take care of Mirald for me. Thanks.
And... this is... ridiculous because now I'm talking to myself. [Sighs and turns off device.]

Date: 2010-05-24 06:40 pm (UTC)Y-yeah. That sounds way too familiar to me, too. Lots of blastia were made into some pretty monstrous war tools by power-hungry idiots...
...And there's more. We found out blastia cores had been created from crushed apatheia. Ancient humans killed the Entelexeia to make their blastia, not just creating an aer imbalance but destroying the very creatures that kept the world safe.
Not only that, but when the aer situation became critical, a giant monster appeared that tried to eat the entire planet. It was called the Adephagos, and...it was the result of Entelexeia who had ingested too much aer while trying to restore balance.
Reincarnating the Entelexeia into Spirits was also a way for us to combat the Adephagos. To do that, we first created Spirits of the four main elements: the Entelexeia called Belius became Undine, who controlled water; Gusios became Gnome, the earth Spirit; Khroma turned into Sylph, the Spirit of wind; and Phaeroh became Efreet, who had power over fire. Then we converted every existing blastia core in the world into Spirits, and used their combined power against the Adephagos. All the Entelexeia that had gone out of control--this caused them to be reborn too. To be honest, I don't know the exact number of Spirits there are now, but it was in the hundreds at least. I'm pretty sure the main four we first created were the most powerful, though.
...So did any of that sound familiar, too? And I'd like to know about this 'world tree'.

Date: 2010-05-24 11:35 pm (UTC)The Four Great Spirits, yes, those are the ones I've formed a pact with along with eight others-- Maxwell, Luna, Shadow, Aska, Volt, Origin, Gremlin Lair, and Pluto. However, you mentioned hundreds. Hundreds of these cores converting to spirits. To think there were that many a long time ago. [Sounding really ecstatic about it.] Perhaps there's a link between our worlds.

Date: 2010-05-25 01:55 am (UTC)[Her expression became one of wild-eyed excitement as she realized what could very well be another link.]
On Terca Lumireis, there was a city with a unique barrier blastia--most cities needed barriers to keep safe from monsters. Anyway, this blastia had merged with a life form: a giant tree. And since that blastia would have become a Spirit...
[She trailed off, knowing he'd be able to see where she was going with this.]

Date: 2010-05-25 01:55 am (UTC)[Resisting the urge to cackle like a maniac, she took some deep breaths herself. His compliment caused her face to flush slightly, though she tried to brush it off.]
Y-yeah, well...I'm a mage, after all. Really, I don't think I've met anyone else yet who was as excited about the Spirits as this. And...you said something about making pacts with them, right? Did you use their help for the mana problems?

Date: 2010-05-25 05:04 am (UTC)It may very well had been Martel! Ha! It makes sense. I can't believe it! This is... This is simply amazing!
[He nodded in agreement.]
It's possible indeed. I've experienced time travel firsthand to other eras of my world though mainly to the future. Perhaps you're from a time before mine.
video; filter [2/2]
Date: 2010-05-25 05:14 am (UTC)Yes, that's correct. Precisel- ah, well, part of the reason why I've sought to form pacts with them , ha ha ha. [He corrected himself with a weak smile.] One can form a pact with these spirits through a series of preparations including the possession of specific summoning artifacts-- Special rings that correspond to each spirit. [He pulled out from his pouch the aquamarine ring to show Rita.] For instance, this one in particular is for Undine. Furthermore, they'll often times challenge you to a battle in order to earn their trust and prove worthy of possessing such powers. That's how I've managed to form mine. Of course, none possible without the help of my friends. [He warmly smiled to the thought of them.]
Oh? A mage. That explains quite a bit. Are you part of the elf race then?

Date: 2010-05-25 01:32 pm (UTC)[A pair of maniacs, these two. Rita didn't calm down at all while she listened to him describe the pacts. If anything, she was even more gleeful.]
Incredible...I'd love to take a closer look at these rings. Maybe we really can bring a Spirit here!

Date: 2010-05-25 01:36 pm (UTC)I know the feeling. It would've been impossible to accomplish everything we did if we weren't all working together.
An elf? No, I'm a human. I've never heard of an elf--maybe it was a new race?

Hm, the future? [He gave it another thought before answering.] The future, huh... Truly, much had progressed compared to my time though I would have hoped some of the hearts of those inhabiting there would have grown as well.

Date: 2010-05-25 06:03 pm (UTC)Oh, but they can! I've already managed to summon several during my time here. Mainly to protect myself and others of course. [Though deep down he wanted to show them off badly. The fruit of his research!]

Date: 2010-05-25 06:08 pm (UTC)A-Ah, perhaps there's a difference in terminology again. Or possibly the definition of 'mage'. What precisely does a mage do in your world?

Date: 2010-05-26 01:25 am (UTC)Their hearts, huh? So then humans really don't learn, do we?
[It was a sobering and depressing thought, after they had found the belief that humans were capable of changing as a whole. Were they wrong?]
...Could you tell me more about this Origin and sword? And Dhaos, too. I don't recognize any of those, but maybe there's still a connection.

Date: 2010-05-26 04:31 am (UTC)[He noticed that look on her face. Oh, how many times he's had the same expression on his own when discovering something new. Ok, ok, time to keep his cool. He had to play it smooth here. He spoke with his authoritative voice falling into teacher mode.]
Now now, I'm not certain if they'd appreciate my calling without a meaningful purpose. [He paused with arms across his chest and a hand at his chin before continuing, trying hard to hide his grin.] However~ being the same lover of science and research, how can I refuse. If you insist, I suppose I could manage to show you at least a little bit.
video; filter [2/4]
Date: 2010-05-26 04:32 am (UTC)Haaa... As I figured. There is a slight difference. Mages are known to specialize in using magic. Mainly elves and half-elves, who possess the power to use magic at free will unlike humans. Many pursue the path to become scholars and researchers but there's nothing that states that they must. A preference I suppose you could call it much like how you mentioned. They study what they find interest in. That's why elves are known to be very intelligent and knowledgeable of various things.
video; filter [3/4]
Date: 2010-05-26 04:33 am (UTC)But anyway, you asked about Origin, the Eternal Sword, and Dhaos, correct?
video; filter [4/4]
Date: 2010-05-26 04:38 am (UTC)Dhaos.. the demon king was what he was known for. Causing destruction to the lands and taking innocent lives with no remorse. He was determined to end the human race and exterminate the use of magitechnology if it meant saving his own world, Derris-Kharlan-- another world separate from ours is what we gathered.
The pact with Origin-- the spirit of creation and source of all things-- and the Eternal Sword were two means to stop him. The Eternal Sword or the Sword of Time, was the result of combining three things using Origin's power-- the fire sword Flamberge, the ice sword Vorpal Blade and Thor's Diamond Ring. It allowed us to combat Dhaos's time-traveling powers, as well as gain access to his castle protected by a time barrier. [He let out a deep sigh. There were no regrets despite the situation, at least that's what he continued to tell himself. They were both fighting for their own cause.]
The Great Seed I spoke of just a moment ago, is what he sought and needed. Of course, we learned of this after we've defeated him. [He weakly laughed. How things could have worked out for the better if they've only communicated.] And thus we sealed the Great Tree. [Expecting her to follow where he was going with that.]
video; filter [1/4] Always picks the worst times to do that.
Date: 2010-05-26 02:13 pm (UTC)Of course. I'm sure they'd recognize research as a perfectly just reason--and it may be in the interest of freeing everybody here! They can't say no to that.
video; filter [2/4]
Date: 2010-05-26 02:14 pm (UTC)No, that's actually just how magic is for us, too. Normal humans can't use magic on their own, but there are exceptions--people who can use magic and manipulate the aer freely without the need for blastia. But they were called the Children of the Full Moon, and...their powers weren't really prevalent in the world anymore. In the past, they...they had willingly sacrificed their lives to keep the Adephagos from destroying the planet. The few that were left were entrusted with the blastia and became the royal family of the empire. And while all of them still possessed the ability to a tiny extent, it wasn't really enough to be of any use, except for one--Estelle.
I wonder if it's possible that the Children of the Full Moon regained their former abilities at some point. Since we fixed the aer problem, their powers shouldn't put a strain on the world like before...

Date: 2010-05-26 02:16 pm (UTC)[She was slightly conflicted now. What he had told her of the magitechnology powered by mana hit a little too close to home. There had been so many other topics of interest to discuss that she hadn't yet voiced her concerns over whether or not she was really doing the best thing for the world by replacing the old blastia with new mana-powered ones. There were no guarantees history wouldn't repeat itself--and if theirs were truly the same world, then it seemed that was exactly what would happen. But that look on his face reminded her of her regrets at losing her magic when they gave up the blastia--she knew there was no other choice and she agreed it had to be done, but it was such a big part of her.
Well, they were sharing knowledge here. It wouldn't be fair to keep this to herself.]
You know how I said that humans like me can't normally use magic either? We used to cast spells and things like that with special blastia, but those are gone now.
[She raised a hand and tapped her neck, where a golden necklace set with a small gem was clasped, looking for all the world like simple jewelry.]
About a day or so before I came to the City, I made this--a successful prototype for a new blastia to run on mana instead of aer. It's not perfect or anywhere near as powerful as the old ones, but it does let me cast spells, and it works in the City.
[She stopped there for now, letting him process that and make of it what he would.]

Date: 2010-05-26 02:16 pm (UTC)Rita wasn't really sure what to say in response, simply letting it sink in for a moment before she spoke softly.]
Sounds like our worst problems keep repeating themselves in the end. ...Your world needed the Great Seed too, didn't it? Since the tree was dying.

Date: 2010-05-26 07:38 pm (UTC)Ah, not necessarily. Remember how I spoke of traveling through various times? Because of the events that occurred in the past, including a war to be precise, we were able to prevent the tree from withering further in the future. A friend of mine is a healer, who is capable of using the Divine power of healing, you see. With the help from a Unicorn she was able to heal it, giving Martel the power she needed to survive.

Date: 2010-05-26 08:02 pm (UTC)Then in the name of research, how about this: You show me a summoning, and I'll show you some spells.
[Another thought ran through her mind too, however--namely, whether she could get the tools and materials needed to build another one. If the two of them put their heads together, they might be able to make some serious advancements.]

Date: 2010-05-26 08:03 pm (UTC)Healers are pretty amazing, aren't they? Come to think of it, the tree of Halure--the one I mentioned earlier--did die once, and the blastia faded along with it. But Estelle's power apparently brought it back to life.

Amongst my friends, there's a girl named Arche, a half-elf, capable of naturally manipulating mana to use magic. Where as Mint, an ordinary human girl, capable of using the divine power of healing through her staff. Though it does run in her family for her mother was a healer as well. Your friend's abilities sound like a combination of the two. Truly, the different types of people we meet. It's incredible.
