NOVEL NEXT Chapter 83
*
A few days later on Tenrou Island. In a clearing under the arches of trees, a guy and a girl were sitting with their backs to each other. Mavis held her hands in front of her, her wings fluttering in her hair, and she glanced around playfully, trying to see what Aidan was doing. He, in turn, sat as concentrated as possible and directed the magic. Suddenly the ground shook, Mavis giggled and looked around.
- It turns out, go on!
Then branches of trees began to grow out of the ground, they quickly changed in size and twisted. Only this time they behaved rather strangely, as if they acted together, quickly intertwining, and then enveloped the entire clearing, forming a kind of dome. Branches tangled together and leaves quickly covered the walls. In just a few moments, the trees began to merge with each other, quickly forming even and smooth walls, the leaves fell off and an ideal hemisphere appeared in the clearing. Following this, more trees began to grow from all sides, quickly forming arches at the edges of this hemisphere, and then the hemisphere in general extended, and the roof was distorted, revealing a beautiful view of the blue sky. In turn, Aidan and Mavis were no longer sitting on the grass, but on a flat woody surface. A round roof quickly formed at the top, followed by overgrowing with thick leaves, forming a beautiful house.
Mavis jumped up and waved her hand with a smile. The next moment, several bright lights appeared in this small house, quickly illuminating a small room.
Aidan got up and looked around nodded.
- Seems not bad. What do you think?
- I like! It's a bit empty ...
Immediately, Aidan stretched out his hand and focused - the tree began to change and several chairs and tables appeared in the spacious hall, enveloped in branches and leaves. Immediately after that, branches stretched out from several sides of the ceiling and formed a wide wood chandelier, Mavis's lights quickly moved to her and lit up even brighter. Several tables, cabinets, and leafy frames appeared throughout the room, quickly filling the space with life.
Mavis laughed happily and flew over to the chandelier, making herself comfortable there. Swinging her bare feet, she nodded contentedly:
- Now everything is perfect!
Aidan sat down next to one of the tables and stretched out his legs, yawning.
"As you can see, I can manipulate plants even this way. Basically, it is one big tree, alive and well. Although, I would not recommend living here for a long time, who knows how this thing will grow. I'm more surprised why the magic of life is associated with plants? It seemed to me that I should revive and heal, but here it is ...
- You have amazing magic! I think now you can make a golem too. Life is a versatile element, there is nothing surprising in this.
"Is that why you asked me to create all kinds of timber structures these days?"
- Well, yes, - Mavis jumped down and flew up to Aidan, sitting closer:
"You didn't notice, but your plant management was so-so. Even though you said that this would bring a new conversion closer, I still believe that you should, without fear, use this magic. You should not wait for the day until it develops on its own, you should take everything into your own hands and act before it is too late!
Aidan looked at Mavis in surprise. The girl also turned and furrowed her thin eyebrows slightly. The two were separated by only a few centimeters, but Aidan was already used to this and simply said:
"I didn't expect anything else from you. I didn't even think about it ... '' Leaning over, Aidan sighed.
- Only I do not know at all how to know life and death without taking lives and without healing my wounds. Your plant method didn't really change anything ...
"For now," Mavis took off and smiled softly. "Killing and maiming yourself may seem like the only right decision. - this is the simplest and easiest method, undoubtedly, but why don't you heal the wounded? Why don't you learn to free people from suffering and take care of the dead? Your magic is incredible, you just didn't even use it properly!
Aidan looked around and asked with a crooked grin:
- And who should I treat here? Who to bury?
"There is a Tenrou Tree here, as well as a place where many people died a long time ago. I think it will be very useful for you. Think, look, look, you will understand something ... When you leave the island, you will have a lot of time to find similar places. Admittedly, people often kill each other, especially in the past - even before Fairy Tail, many guilds fought. It will not be difficult for you to find such places, it all depends on your imagination. As I said, your magic is not so simple, you just need to stop being afraid of it and accept, comprehend and learn to control. Stop thinking about the worst and come with me.
Mavis held out her pale hand to Aidan and smiled tenderly.
- I'll help you. I know a little about death, but I still know something about the value of life.
The guy let out a long sigh and reached out in response, touching her cold skin.
- This is only a projection, do not make such a face. - Mavis grunted in displeasure: - By the way ... You never said how you know about my body.
- Uh ... I'll tell you later.
- Well, of course, you always say that ...
