"Brother. Welcome to my world."
As Callius continued to take in the magnificent scene, his eyes were drawn to the spirit of the World Tree itself. It shimmered with a luminous radiance, its form ever-changing and ethereal. The essence that emanated from it was both calming and invigorating, like a gentle breeze carrying whispers of ancient wisdom.
'Spirit World, huh? To think I would be seeing this place this soon.' Callius thought as his gaze wandered around the place. 'It is a lot different from how it was shown in the game. I guess this is how this place originally looked.'
Just at that moment, as if drawn by their presence, spirits of various kinds began to emerge. Mischievous sprites danced among the leaves, their laughter like tinkling bells. Wise elementals stood as guardians, their solemn presence a testament to the deep connection between the natural world and the spiritual realm.
Among the spirits, Callius's eyes caught the fleeting presence of small, delicate figures with iridescent wings.
'Fairies.'
"They are fairies," Diana said.
Fairies, their presence both enchanting and ethereal, flitted about the World Tree. Their delicate forms seemed to blend seamlessly with the magic of the surroundings, and their tiny voices carried a sense of playfulness that resonated within the sacred space.
The fairies' laughter filled the air, a melodic symphony that resonated with the pure delight of existence in this mystical realm.
Among their laughter, their voices mimicked the sounds of nature itself, their words a blend of musical notes and playful tones. "Kuku? Kie?" they seemed to ask, their words a mixture of curiosity and mirth.
Curiosity got the better of these ethereal creatures, and a few of them began to flutter around Callius, their tiny forms glowing with anticipation. Playful as they were, some dared to poke at his attire, their touch as gentle as the caress of a breeze. "Tiri? Tiri?" they giggled, their words like a soft melody.
GIGGLE
However, they were not the only ones giggling as Diana, too, was doing the same. With her delicate smile, with her bright face, she looked like the one with nature.
The small creatures wandered around Callius, tickling them, some of them pushing their nails into his body.
And strangely, it stung. As a person with a peak 4-star knight body, Callius was not expecting such a thing to happen at all.
Diana's laughter joined the symphony of magical sounds. "It seems they are quite taken with you, brother. Your unique mana must be intriguing to them." She replied.
Callius raised an eyebrow, both surprised and amused by the fairies' interest, but at the same time, Diana's mentioned his unique mana. "Are they now?"
Diana nodded, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Yes, they are drawn to your mana signature. They're curious beings, always seeking out new experiences."
"Well, if they're so interested, perhaps they'd appreciate a small gesture," Callius mused. With a flicker of his fingers, he conjured a small, sparkling orb of mana in his palm, offering it to the fairies.
The fairies gathered around the orb, their iridescent wings shimmering as they chirped and trilled with delight. Their tiny forms created a beautiful dance of light and color around Callius, a testament to the harmony between his unique energy and the spirits of this realm. "Kie! Kie!" they exclaimed in joy, their voices harmonizing with the magical aura that surrounded them.
While the fairies were playing around him, Callius turned his attention to Diana once again.
"My mana is different?" He asked, acting like he didn't know anything about it.
"Yes, brother. It is different from any other mana I have seen." Diana replied.
"How different?"
"To explain it in simple words, it is the purest type of mana."
"So, you can see it?"
"I can't see it, but I can feel it."
"I see."
"Just like when I saw you leaving your room with your disguise on."
When Diana said those words, Callius sighed. He knew Diana had something different from her, but it happened to be on her senses.
"Brother. You know you can't hide it from me, right? After all, I know you the best." Diana said, coming closer to him. Right now, she appeared much stronger as a significant amount of pressure began to spread throughout her.
'It is because we are in Spirit World.' He thought as he looked into the girl whose eyes were now shining bright green.
SWOOSH
As she raised her hand slightly, Callius swept off his feet as he flew through the air. However, it was not a rough treatment but rather a particular experience.
THUD
And with a smooth movement, he fell to the ground, his back leaning on a tree.
SWOOSH
Instantly, Diana appeared before him, who was leaning on the tree, and restrained his arms behind it using vines.
THUD
Then, immediately, Diana jumped on his lap and sat there with a smooth move, her arms connecting to his neck.
Now, Callius was in a position he could no longer avoid the girl. He could feel his body covered by the vines, and from the looks of it, they were a lot stronger than any type of spell she had used before.
CREAK
Her eyes were shining bright green, as it looked like she was no longer afraid of using her powers here.
"It is useless, brother," Diana replied, her eyes looking at him with a cold expression. "You can't escape now."
Just as Diana said, for normal Callius, it was impossible to escape from here unless he attacked Diana.
His arms were restrained, and he was in a place where Diana was in her peak form. But even if he could, he wouldn't.
"It is not necessary," Callius said to Diana as he, too, looked into her eyes. "As I said at that time, I will be yours for the whole weekend."
"I know, brother," Diana said as she brought her face closer to his, her eyes were now in the form of a crescent. "But the whole weekend is not enough for me." She replied, her breath tickling his nose.
"Brother, you know I am always watching you, right?" Diana continued her words.
"I am watching you training; I am watching you studying. I am watching you listen to the lectures; I am watching you destroy every practical exam."
"If you want to know how I am watching you even in the lectures, then you are taking the power of spirits too lightly, brother."
As she said, she moved one of her hands into the air, and following that, a small spirit flew and stood on top of it.
"This little one is just like me, you know?" She continued. "She likes you and always wants to be with you."
"I don't know why, but the moment she saw you on the first of the academy, she always clung to you. She even refused to come back to me unless I used mana."
As she said those words, Diana turned her head to the spirit for a second.
"I was really jealous of her at first. I even considered killing her." As her chilly words poured out, a smile bloomed on her face.
"But, she and I made a deal. She was going to watch you all the time and would show what you were doing to me."
Her smile bloomed further as her eyes shone bright green.
"It was all thanks to my Authority of Nature, but if she didn't want to do it, I couldn't force." Diana continued.
"However, brother, you see, we are now very angry," Diana said, her words taking a chilly tone again.
"You are playing with other girls in my absence."
It was the words he wanted to avoid the most.
