Chapter 891 The Druid's Resolve
-----
Crimson flames covered her view. The forest was burning, dying, and agonizing. Forces of darkness, Blighters from the far south, arrived when they least expected it. The damned sorcerers of evil, the traitorous druids observed them silently, for many years. And when they finally found the moment, they struck. Flames covered the forest. Their power rising as they killed a powerful Nature Soul, taking away her life with each tree that was burned.
"No… How did this happen?! NO!"
Janny cried, the druids screamed and ran away, the flames spreading everywhere. Not only threatening to consume the forest, but all of them as well. The wicked laughter of the Blighters echoed behind them, they were slowly moving towards them, evading the fire and hiding inside of shadows, like ghosts. (f)reenovelkiss
"Run, run away as far as you can… Run… my children…"
"No, MOTHER! I can't leave you behind! No, NOOOO!!!"
As Janny screamed in anger and horror, Jose grabbed her with the rest of the younglings, dragging her away against her will. Her tears flowing from her eyes, drying due to the heat of the forest burning. They were powerless to change everything. The Blighters employed their malefic magic, burning each tree faster than the water-wielding druids could protect.
"Please, everyone… You must… live…"
As the voice of the forest became fainter and weaker, the druids ran, and ran, and ran… Just like before. Just like when it all began. Her land, everything she built was taken away from her, and once more, she had nothing.
"Aria… where's Aria?!" Janny noticed that she was nowhere to be seen.
No druid knew where she had gone to. And the Blighters were tailing them from behind rapidly. They had little time to care about her, they had to run, and fast. Or they would all be slaughtered.
"Mother… Aria…"
As Janny cried and ran, moving from place to place, but never finding one to belong. The world moved on even if she hasn't. Decades went through, and she grew bitter and grumpy. She hated human society, and all the technology they brought. The pollution of the world was their fault, and that nature was diminishing as well.
Despite holding the power, she never protected them. She never cared about them, and with the new druids that followed her, they lived on isolation. Commuting with nature, and living tranquil, yet depressing lives. Now isolated from their sanctuary, the beautiful home they built together.
"Janny… Always remember to protect those in need, with the strength you have gained."
And she oftentimes recalled the Voice of the Forest's words.
"That strength will be useless if you don't use it to protect, if you don't use it to fight against evil…"
Yet she could not do as her mother asked her. She had been betrayed by everything, she hated everything… She had even thought that she hated the entire world for bringing her so many tragedies, so many injustices. Hating the world, something Druids would never do, Janny lost herself.
"What is the point of this life of mine, this long life… If there's nothing I can do?"
At some point, they were already in America, called by the new world and new opportunities, a place with much more nature and life than Europe, they braved these forests, and walked across ancient ruins, meet druids from south America, central America, and even north America, and settled down in the beautiful yet cold forests of Canada, away from everything.
She lived a life of misery and sorrow, never moving on from what has happened. And those around her were like her as well. They felt lost, alone, abandoned… Yet together, at the very least, they still felt like a family. They took care of one another, as much as they could.
Yet a revelation one day came, having ignored how the world changed at all, she only reacted when Jose told her something. That he had a dream, a dream where a new Voice of the Forest, a mother of nature and life, spoke to him. This goddess, this spirit… She called for his help.
Enlightened by her divinity, Jose had changed. He was more hopeful, he wanted to meet her. At the end, although he seemed similar to her, Jose had not lost all hope. And the old man, whom she had always loved, tried to give her hope too.
Although she didn't want to believe such things, she ended coming along. The entire family slowly arrived at the city where their goddess lived. They hated the city, the people in there, and the giant skyscrapers, buildings, cars, and pollution.
However, once she stepped into her Domain. Everything changed. Everything. She felt like she had once more stepped into the beautiful domain of the Voice of the Forest. That she was alive somehow, right here, right now.
Tears streamed from her eyes, as Janny felt the beauty of nature, the warm spiritual energy, and the love and emotions carried by the domain entirely. The love of a mother, the love of someone that would protect her children, and her family, no matter the cost.
Such a strong emotional aspect covered the entire domain, making it incredibly similar to the Voice of the Forest back in Finland. Since then, hope slowly grew back inside of her heart, blossoming, as she mediated and communed with nature.
However, she never thought she would be fighting demons and protecting the city and the people she hated. The ones that only brought pollution and destruction to nature, she was protecting them, just like the Voice of the Forest once asked her for.
"All that strength you have, it has a purpose, my dear child. You don't simply carry it without holding a responsibility now. You must use it to protect the innocent, not just nature."
"Please, be well… And always remember that I love you, my daughter."
"Mother…"
The giant white owl cried as her power shone the brightest. All the power she amassed; she released it now. Over two hundred years' worth of magic power, worth of runes, worth of spiritual essence.
"I won't let the same tragedy repeat itself… I have the power now, and I will use it as mother told me to. I will protect this city… this people!"
FLAAASH!
