Chapter 957 Yggdra's Life Memories
-----
Rivers of Rainbow light surged from Yggdra's soul, as I connected them with my Soul Aura, quickly making both of our Souls temporarily become one, creating an indestructible connection, a Familiar Contract.
FLAAASH!
In that moment, as the contract was made, I felt connected with Yggdra once more, her emotions, her thoughts, they were shared with mine, and vice versa.
And then, visions of her past emerged, one after another. When she was just but a small seed forming inside an apple from her own parent tree.
To when the apple was eaten, with the other seeds discarded except hers. A little girl with red hair appearing and grabbing her instead of throwing her away like the other seeds were.
"I'll keep you and see if I can grow you with my Skill!" The little girl said.
The seed back then had no idea what she said, it couldn't even hear nor see, but somehow, these memories seemed very vivid now.
The little life she held in her hands slowly started to flourish and develop a soul, a strong soul at that. With each ounce of near endless Mana imbued into the seed, she kept developing and growing.
It was strange yet comforting, the girl's powers were more than just Mana, the Skill she used helped her develop faster than any of her kin.
After a couple of days, she sprouted, something that could only happen after many years of resting below the soil absorbing nutrients, water, and mana from the environment.
Yet that was achieved in just days by this girl.
"Ooh, you're growing faster than I imagined…! Let's keep giving you Mana then!"
Feelings and emotions started to be born as she sprouted and continued growing larger and larger.
The first feelings she ever experienced were those of joy when the girl appeared to give her Mana and water, and the feeling of sadness when the girl went somewhere else,?to do something else instead.
Over time, as the weeks went by, and after many cycles of Mana, Water, and the Sunlight from the house's window, she continued growing bigger and bigger, until her roots reached the end of the flowerpot, and she needed to be placed somewhere else…
"You've gotten too big… We'll have to carry you to the outside so you can keep growing as much as you want… Sorry."
After having accumulated so much Mana, and after her soul had grown so big and strong, Yggdra felt anew, as if she had become something else than just a tree.
Quickly after that, the girl and her parents brought her to the outside world once more, where they planted her over fertile soil, and after watering her down, and imbuing mana into her, she felt like thanking the girl.
"I hope you don't mind the chilly air of the mornings…"
This girl that was like everything to her, as if it were her own mother, feed her and loved her like nobody could have ever loved the mere seed of a tree, even as special as a tree of Eden Apples…
She gathered most of the Spiritual Energy she had harnessed within her Soul, and materialized it, with pieces of her own branches and roots, and her very sap, her lifeblood.
And created a child of her own, a small, adorable seed that looked barely sprouting with a tiny leaf. She, a simple Eden Apple tree, had given birth to a Nature Spirit…
FLAAASH!
"Foo! Foo!"
"Huh?! What is… this?"
The spirit she birthed flew towards the girl, making a contract with her, to carry her to every adventure. A piece of herself, to always accompany her, no matter where she could be…
"Your name will be Yggdra from now on…"
The girl smiled back at her, hugging her. Yggdra felt happy to be named, and tried to speak, a few words but they came out.
"Thank you… for being… with me…"
And as the years went by and the girl came to visit her almost every day, and then every week, she continued growing larger and larger.
Seeing the life of the girl and her friends and family in the distance, the years went by flying, the girl grew up more, and over time, she forgot about visiting her daily or even weekly.
But she didn't mind, because she was always watching over here, wherever she went, through the eyes of her precious little daughter.
And even when the girl went away, giving one last glance at Yggdra before never returning for many years, she stood there, strong.
"Sylphy…"
She often thought about her as the days went by, months, and then years… Despite the slight sorrow she felt for her friend to have gone away, she never stopped loving her.
"I'll wait… I'm sure that one day… you will return… my dear friend…"
Nights after nights, days after days, her body kept growing larger, and larger, and larger… Reaching the skies themselves.
The entire world could be seen from the heights she reached, she felt strong, and big.
She sprouted many fruits and gave birth to many children that started growing around her as her seeds fell off from the fruits.
A family of her kin grew at her side, supporting her growth with their own smaller roots, and she in return protected them and feed them Mana and Spirit Energy.
A huge forest expanded from her very body, yet… As her life continued for many years, she couldn't stop thinking about her.
The red-haired girl that helped her get this far. Although her daughter accompanied her now, she couldn't see nor sense her completely.
They were too far away…
"I'll wait… for as long… as I… need to…"
Days, nights, days, nights…
"Sylphy…"
And her hope paid off, as she returned one day, many years later, even bigger than ever before, and with her daughter all grown up, capable of even speaking.
After living so many adventures and going through so many things… they were back.
The joy she felt was indescribable, like a mother finally meeting her children after many years.
"Yggdra! I'm back!"
"I knew you would return…"
Although she had no eyes to cry, I felt her tears in that moment…
