Chapter forty-two

Transformation

Elania sat on a boulder outside the waystation entrance, humming a half-remembered tune from one of her favorite fantasy music channels back home. One of the novices had been in and out a few times to fetch water, giving her a funny expression each time.

Maybe they weren’t used to musical demons? Or maybe she was just bad at humming. She certainly hadn’t earned any music-related skill from her attempts, which was unfair. She was doing her best.

Waiting for Taniel to wake up was boring, and she reached out to swat the small [System] bar that represented her contract screen to send it spinning like a spin-top balanced on her finger. Why couldn’t things be easy?

Figuring out that her [System] screens weren’t quite as static as she had imagined was a nice revelation. She’d rearranged everything to feel more comfortable, including adjusting the color, opacity, text, font, and size. If she wanted, she could plaster them against a wall like a full-size projection or attach them to her forearm or clothing.

No one could see them but her, but it was a nice touch for just looking at things and… thinking about them.

The first thing she had made was a gauge for her [Power] stat that she kept active somewhere unobtrusive. It was, in her opinion, her most vital statistic since it acted as her life bar, mana bar, and food bar all rolled into one.

Joren called her from inside the waystation. “Elania!”

She glanced over her shoulder at him. “What’s up?”

It took some effort to stifle a giggle and smile when he actually looked at the ceiling, looking slightly confused, before looking back to her. “Taniel’s still unconscious. I want to try a few herbal remedies to see if they would help. Could you find a few mushrooms for me?”

Elania shrugged and then hopped off the boulder. “Sure, I guess. What do you need, exactly?”

He pulled out a leather pouch, along with a leather glove. “Most important ones are Fenicia’s Fungal Growth and some Bright Stem mushrooms.”

She eyed the leather glove as she accepted it and the pouch.

“You’ll want these. Don’t get the Fenicia anywhere near your eyes, nose, ears, mouth or…” His gaze crept downward and then his cheeks turned red as he looked away.

She wanted to know just who Fenicia was and why she had been sticking mushrooms between her legs, but she didn’t figure the poor embarrassed monk would know. Scratch that. She didn’t want to know.

“I’ve seen the Fenicia before, but what does the Bright Stem look like?” Elania asked.

“They are the small ones that like to grow on the sides of rocks near the water. They have long spines with a bright glow coming from underneath the cap,” Joren explained.

Elania nodded. “Easy enough. I think I saw them near the pond when we came in.”

Ten minutes later, she had already filled half the pouch with the Bright Stem while still looking for more Fenicia. It was ten times more annoying than she imagined, because all the ones she spotted were growing on small ledges that were too hard to reach.
