PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

These small and adorable creatures were born of nature itself, they were guardians of the natural order of the world in which they were born, their deep connection with mana gave them the ability to command the elements at will and allowed them to reach the maximum limit of power of their world with great ease.

Due to their power and nature, the fairies of origin are usually worshiped almost as deities by those aware of their existence, and given the position, they held in the order of the cosmos; it was not so wrong to treat them as guardian deities of their respective worlds.

Due to the conditions under which they are born and the characteristics of their existence, only one fairy of origin can exist in a world at a time, since in one way or another these fairies occupy a symbiotic relationship with the world in which they inhabit. ; such was the nature of their existence.

All of this knowledge was something that Desmond as an origin fairy guardian should know but Desmond had underestimated Kyuru’s true nature and what an origin fairy really meant; if had he known maybe he would have had an idea of ??what Kyuru was doing right now in the courtyard of his house.

Kyuru was a fairy of origin, guardian of the natural order, a creature blessed by mana, and an entity of immense potential. . . but she was also a homeless fairy or said correctly Kyuru was a worldless fairy.

Due to the nature of her species, Kyuru could live almost eternally sustaining her existence from the mana that surrounds her, even getting stronger and reaching the zenith of the power of this world would not take more than a century, an amount of time that is not more than a blink for an eternal entity; but even so Kyuru was incomplete.

Kyuru had left her world of origin to accompany Desmond, which had cut her spiritual connection with the world of Serefia, without a world, Kyuru could not reach her full potential because she needed a symbiotic relationship with a world to be a true fairy of origin; so much so that her full name at this very moment was just Kyurustrae.

But it is not that there was no hope, actually, the “only thing” that the little fairy had to do was connect spiritually with a new world that did not have an existence like her, that way Kyuru could occupy her rightful place in the order of the cosmos and be complete once more; thus releasing her full potential.

.....

And that was precisely what Kyuru was doing right now, she first absorbed the essence of the moon and the stars in the sky to become herself a new “star” in the sky of this world.

She now had to ask the elements for permission to use them as catalysts to connect with the essence of this world, as esoteric and complex as that might sound to someone else; for an origin fairy, it was something they could do almost instinctively.

The fire soon ignited in one of the urns around Kyuru as the flame began to greedily devour the mana supplied by the fairy, followed by the wind that concentrated on another of the urns until it formed a small tornado within it, the third element to appear was the water that quickly condensed until it formed a perfect sphere of it; the last element to form was the earth, its representation seemed larger than the rest and exuded a more powerful presence as it devoured Kyuru’s mana as if its life depended on it.

Once the four elements surrounded her, Kyuru let out an almost imperceptible tired sigh, even with her being a fairy of origin this process was far from easy, it required a ridiculous amount of mana and spiritual energy; It was for this very reason that before starting the ritual of the four elements it was necessary to absorb the essence of the stars before the fairy had what was necessary to achieve the ritual.

Giving a kind look to Claire who was standing a few feet from her with a worried face, Kyuru proceeded to continue the next part of the ritual: the connection.

′′ Fire brings warmth and shelter to the creatures that roam your surface, water is the source of life and sustenance of everything that grows in you, the wind brings movement and emotion spreading sounds and seeds, but all this must always have a place and it is on the earth that this place lies.

I ask the four elements to permit me to be part of this natural order, to protect it and live in it, that my essence coexists with the essence of this world; We will not be one, but we will have each other.

Hear my call, hear my promise and grant me your name; Let from this day forward this fairy of origin bear the name Kyurustrae-Exzar-TERRA! ′′

As the fairy progressed through her ritual and the words left her lips, the elements around her began to grow in presence and intensity, to the point where their forms changed into an almost corporeal form of humanoid-looking elemental energy.

When Kyuru asked them to grant her permission to be one with the natural order, the four elemental entities hesitated for a few moments before bowing slightly before the fairy, no words were uttered and it was even unknown if these entities were even capable of speaking, but still, it was possible to say something of his behavior; They not only accepted the fairy’s plea. . . these seemed almost as if they were honored at Kyuru’s request.

When Kyuru finished the call from her. . . her promise, the four entities condensed into spheres of pure and intense elemental essence and all plunged in unison into the depths of the earth; just a moment later a huge pulse of energy radiated from the place where Kyuru was standing and when the word ¨Terra¨ left the fairy’s lips the pulse returned with the response that Kyuru had requested.

The fairy seemed to absorb the pulse that came in response and from one moment to another, Kyuru was covered in a cocoon of light, as soon as the cocoon finished enclosing Kyuru this began to absorb mana like crazy from around her; the mana from the four elements that Kyuru had used was the one with the most abundant presence but there were also occasional flashes of other colors of mana being sucked into the cocoon.

The process lasted almost half an hour during which Claire could not do more than continue to observe with amazement and concern written all over her face, soon the cocoon of light began to shine with more intensity and suddenly it opened in a similar way in which the bud of a flower would make it; the light began to fade slowly revealing the fairy within her that with a smile exclaimed:

′′ Kyurustrae-Exzar-Terra. . . doesn’t sound bad at all. ′′
