User blog:Denzel Crocker/Chapter 4

I looked around. I was in a mushroom forest. The mushrooms where of all sorts of colors and sizes. Some even glowed in the dim twilight. I could see the castle I was in, off in the distance. I gathered my thoughts. Well the book in my hand needed to be read but if I remember my mythology correctly the more time I spend here the more time will be displaced. However this is not exactly the same as the story's and legends so the same rules may not apply. I spot a red mushroom with white polka dots that was about 10 feet tall. I jump atop it landing softly as to not damage it. However the mushroom was surprisingly solid for such springy material. Also when I landed I noticed it released a lot of spores. I could sense some kind of magic in them but could not identify what.

As I sat atop this mushroom and read. I found out many things about the realm I found myself in. I found out that there where women who dwelt here called monster girls  or Mamono and that they assaulted men sexually for their spirit energy and in return gave them demonic energy. The book had many articles on specific types and their habits kind like an encyclopedia. I found that this demonic energy would turn a man into a incubus if he received too much. I I also learned that the men/incubus could live solely off the demon energy from his wife/s. Does this mean I am in a world of hotties that all want to... my thought where cut short by the sound of fairy wings and giggling.

I thought back to what I now know where pixies. Well the book said fairies were nice and not like the tricky pixies.

"Sure, I'm game" I reply.

"You talk funny.She giggled

"Follow me" she calls behind hers as she fly off with a smile. I follow using the air magic to keep up.

"WOW! You are really fast for a human". She says with glee

"Lets see if you are ready for this." She says with a mischievous smile. She fly's up and ahead of me and begins to hit the mushrooms on their tops to release the spores. Realizing the game shes playing, I dart left out of the path of the spores.

"Meanie!" she exclaims and puts on a pouting face. She brightens up after a few seconds. "But you still Can't catch me" she says with childish glee.

We play the game for a while longer but she become distracted by a passing butterfly and I catch her." Hurray! You won!" she shouts I let her go and she fly over to a blue mushroom and sits on it. "What do you want to do now?" she asks with a grin that makes me uneasy "Talk" I respond.

"About what?" She inquires "What do you know about the sabbath?" I ask. "Not much" she says "I know that some of their followers like to hang out near the water falls over there." She points to the west. "But they give me the creeps so I don't go near. Why would you want to know about them?" she questions "I'm just curious" I state. "I bet you are" she jumps off her mushroom and gives me a dagger like glare with her hands on her hips "Everyone knows they way they steal men" she kicks at the ground moping "I bet you want to play with them instead. You know if you wanted to play with me like that I wouldn't mind" her cheeks redden a bit.

I look at her quizzically then say. "No" as it dawns on me what she means by play. "I don't plan on doing that with anyone here." Now she looks at me like I'm crazy. About this time she notices the robes and it dons on her. "Ohhh! You must be a wizard or something that how you are able to not be like the rest of the men here." "Yup, you got me" I chuckle She seems to get really excited then start to speak quickly and loudly "One of the great queens must have called you her. Which one was she? Which one was she. She said fluttering about. "The Morrigan" I respond She stops almost instantly. Her eyes grow big looking at me with shock. "Did you see her yet?" her voice is tarting to shake a little "Yes" I responded. "But your still alive? But that would mean..." She trails off She races behind a blue mushroom and covers her head "Don't kill me!" she says shaken and trembling. I sit down on the ground and sigh a big sigh. "I have no intentions of hurting you." I reassure her.

After a little convincing she finally comes out from behind the mushroom. The fay tells about the previous men Morrigan called and how only corpses returned or how the ones that came out alive where said to have killed many people. She then says that when she realized I was a magic user that I might have been called by Ceridwen. "Are there other goddesses here?" I ask "O yes. Many, but that doesn't really matter because you have already received a calling and can not receive another till your first is done......" She kind trails off there obviously thinking something. I wait for her to come up with the words. "well what kind of game do you want to play now?" she asked "What where you about to say there. I could see you thinking about something" I don't think you will be able to see the other Great Queens. she replies Why?I ask Because the different fay realms have been split. "Do you know why or how?" I ask. "No." she said simply "I see, thank you for the information" I stand up to leave but the fairy grabs at my robe. Are you sure you wouldn't like to play? I shake my head no and turn leaving her there. I headed where the fairy pointed, to the water fall.

On my way I notice how the scenery has now changed to a different kind of tree I have never seen before. They seem to have a bit of bio-luminescence in them with how the sap glows and shines through in the leaves. The leaves are brightly colored and the trunks and branches are ebony with little bits of light shining here and there where the sap is close to the surface. This forest is beyond beautiful. I wish I did not have a task and could just explore and enjoy. Once I am close enough to hear the rushing of water I try to mask my presence by pulling my aura in as close as possible and changing it to resemble the background energy.

Once I reach the clearing where the water fall is I finally see it. It is magnificent. The brightness of the cyan color and the refreshing feel of the waters aura is fantastic. The fall its self almost looks like a very steep slide with three  little drops before it collects in a large mist covered pool. Even the rock that the waterfall is on seems to be awe inspiring as it seems to shimmer almost as much as the water with little gemstones and mica in it. I think of my book and realize if ! bring it closer to falls it might get wet and or damaged, so I place in a tree with a hole.

I notice a few fay playing in the spray of the waterfall. Looking with my aura sight they all have that demonic energy about them. Upon closer inspection three of them are the three pixies from earlier, while the other two are regular fay. They stop playing suddenly and the three pixies disappear behind the waterfall. The two faeries take positions at either side of the waterfall. They seem to be guarding the fall. "Humm, there must be a cave or something on the other side of that waterfall." I muse to myself

I quickly come up with a plan on how to get inside the falls. I sneak over the the side of the falls and climb to the top. There I can see the two fairies have already forgotten about guarding he falls and are playing again.I draw the inward spiral glyph on my palms. Then I use the power of water to adjust the falls a little. The water begins to fall on them. Now that they are distracted, I jump on the fall and slide down. The two tiny fay are just getting done wiping the water from their eyes as I splash down next to them drenching them again. This time I can hear their tiny cries of displeasure. Before they even know whats happened I reach out and sap them of their tiny amount of demonic energy and transmute it into non-harmful spirit energy that I can use. They pass out from the lack of energy but are other wise unharmed. I lay them on the side of the pool and venture behind the fall.
