05/23/23(01:34:43) *Mike(Mike43) Looked at the small friend, feeling the fear coming off of them he felt a bit saddened. he wished he couldn't of done more. the rune magic he'd been practicing had been a dud it felt.he had been able to use his body as a shield for his friend but that had been about it. he had not way to scratch such a monster. he rubbed his head as he chanted another blessing of nature onto the friend to try to ease his pain the best he could while the priest derived some more long term messures . he felt a more primal feeling stirr a bit inside of him but it seemed to vannish just as quickly as it arose. it had him loose his train of thought as the spell went off. while nothing to bad had come from it, luckily enough. aside from more mana being used in the blessing. He sighed slightly as he sat down feeling winded. his own bruises reminding him the beating he had taken. this could happen again, and will. he needed to do something to get ready for that. "The farms were really hurt, spent all day tending to them while i dug for magical rocks." he muttered aloud.*

05/23/23(12:14:39) *Mike(Mike43) Would get to work on clearing the weeds and tending the graves. all the while looking for stones he could use to help him in his magic endevors. he himself wasn't sure if that plant creature would be back, and if it came back what all it would do. he felt that primal feeling welling up inside of him again. if felt stronger this time, as if something inside of him was trying to awaken. but it just didn't have the means to just yet. it reminded him of an egg with something trying to hatch out from it. the feeling having distracted him long enough for him to realized he had spaced out and was just staring blankly forward. coming back he shook his head slightly. "I. . don't know what that is but. . . it's feeling. . . familiar" He muttered not able to put his finger on what this sensation was just yet.*

05/24/23(17:45:54) *Mike(Mike43) Was slowly working the fields as he was filling the ground with nature magic., happily going through the rows of crops as he was just tending to them. he was always more comfortable here out in the fields while he worked he noticed that more primal energy inside of him had been growing. he wasn't sure what this energy inside of him was but he felt he shouldn't be scared of it. it self like it was just a slumbering beast that was growing more and more each day. the feeling had been with him for months now but the same egg like feeling followed. he wasn't sure what it was but hew had a feeling in time it would hatch and this whole thing would make more sense to him, though for now he focused on just tending to the plants.*

05/30/23(21:27:15) *Mike(Mike43) Had avoided fighting as he tried to focus on healing to help the fighters actually eek out a win against the plant monster. his anger towards the abomination was only growing. the primal feeling building inside of him as his rage was growing stronger as the fight went on. magic flooding his system to keep himself up. but the plant thing saw through his plans and brought his healing of the fighters to an end. forcing himself up he growled slightly to himself as he felt pain rushing through his body. slowly getting up he drew the aspect of light back into himself. he felt a bit shaky but he would manage. slowly getting himself read as that primal stirring seemed to be growing deep inside of him.*

05/30/23(22:49:43) *Mike(Mike43) Fought to the best he could. Though that stirring feeling from earlier had gotten worse as the fight went on. He was trying his best to focus on firing away from the crowd . sometimes he took a more direct shot as some were in his line of sight. He'd done his best to try to ignore the feeling and focus on using his magic to heal others. While he hadn't been able to to communicate well during combat. Some caught on and began running into the casted spells, receiving the healing from his magic. Though that didn't last to long as he only figured the plant had caught on or just had him in their sights. But the Raken fell pretty quickly. The creature had definitely gotten stronger, much more so then he could of ever imagined. He was pummeled into the ground so hard he had the wind knocked out of him. He laid in the ground trying to catch his breath as the Monster was battling the others. He struggled for a minute trying to just get his breathing back to normal. He focused a bit of light into his body to get it to heal more quickly. Staggering to his his feet. That stirring of primal energy seemed to flood his senses as the slow manifestation of a Four leaf clover Mark forming over the Raken's face as he unknowing began manifesting his soul. As he was channeling Light through out his body he bound in once again. That monster was still standing, so things weren't done. ( Moment App for Stand. )*



 Mike had been anything but idle in this time of peace. He'd continued his studies of magic while also trying to reassess this power that had been brewing inside of himself. It'd only manifested once but the Primal stirring had never really left. It just had been dormant, sleeping till it was needed.

Though he was sure there was a way to awaken it from it's slumber. He just needed to remember what had triggered it. His mind going back to the fight he had with the plant. The helplessness he had felt and the sheer want for survival. With that in mind he felt that well of energy slowly start to bubble up to the surface.

While it had been a start he hadn't been able to fully materialize that power from before. But it was progress that gave him something meditate on and come to understand at his own pace.

Over the months he had been able to come to understand that this power was a direct manifestation of his soul, something that needed focus and practice to actively summon it. He'd struggled for a week to just get the power to manifest and even then it lasted only for a few moments before he made a breakthrough and was able to get it to last four seconds, then eight.

It was slow progress but the more he worked with it the easier he was able to bring the power up at will and keep it on till he released it's power. Though now that he had control over manifesting his soul's power, what did it actually mean for him going forward. He didn't know what the future had in store but he was sure if he continued developing and trying to understand it, he'd reach something mystical.
