It has been three minutes, and strangely, Seth did not feel his eyes getting dry well that couldn't be said the same to the bright-eyed girl as she approached her limit and blinked.
With a sigh, she finally spoke. "Hello, my name is Haiki Hikari, and I want to be friends with you."
Seth's lips twitched and thought. Did you enter a staring competition with me just to introduce yourself? It's not strange at all. Despite his thoughts, Seth still replied. "My name is seth, and I do wonder why you're suddenly want to be my friend, and I'm also guessing that's why you four are here."
The black haired zombie looking guy spoke up next. "I just saw Haiki coming here and wandered why she was heading to the direction of the Vector faction, but making friends with you doesn't seem bad, my names is Rorel Umbra, nice to make your acquaintance."
Seth nodded in acknowledgement but didn't say anything.
The girl on the Whale had platinum hair and blue eyes, she lazily spoke. "Names Aqua, but call me Flow."
Though set was offset by the miniature whale, it wasn't something unusual. A lot of families and factions have learned how to tamw beasts and even nurture them. Some families even farm them, but what he did find peculiar was how the girl looked like Emily. "Nice to meet you, Flow. may I ask you a question."
Flow blinked, not expecting to be asked something, so she just waved her hand to agree.
"Do you know someone named Emily Sanguine." At his words, Flow frowned. Why was this guy suddenly mentioning the name of her distant cousin whose family has already steered away from the Whales.
She still answered. "I do, but why are you asking such questions, though?."
"Well, it's just that you two look alike." Seth said while rubbing the back of his head.
Flow froze for a moment before letting out a chuckle. "That isn't something new. Do you perhaps like her?."
Before set, she could answer the guy who was being held up by Rorel, landed on the ground, and put an ar. around Seth while grinning widely. "Hello everybody, my name is Ufriel El Ambrosia, the one who will forge the greatest weapon in the universe,Nice to meet you all."
Haiki pouted and complained. "Ufriel, why do you always shout so loudly? If you want to forge the greatest weapon in the entire universe, you should be quiet."
Ufriel grinned at her words and let go of seth. He took the sword that was embedded on the ground and raised it to the sky with one hand. "A blacksmiths hammer resounds in their smithy, so in order for me to create the greatest weapon, I shall one day use the stars as my forge, the heavens at my witness and the universe as my audience, my hammer will resound through the universe and the greatest weapon shall be created by me, this is my ambition and this is my destiny so i shall be loud as i can until the entire universe agrees to be my smithy."
Seth, Rorel, Haiki, and Flow just turned to look at Ufriel strangely. His ambition was way too big, wasn't it?.
Shaking that off his thoughts, Seth turned to Haiki and blankly asked. "Isn't his dream too wild?."
Haiki shrugged in helplessness. "Everyone in the Ambrosia family has wild dreams. It's quite interesting, actually, though they are reckless. Do you have any dreams, Seth?"
Dreams, what was Seths goal in life, now that he thinks about it even before he got abilities he never knew what his dream was so he just came up with one at the moment so he doesn't seem like someone with no ambition. "I simply want to explore the universe and uncover all its secrets and in the process become stronger."
Ufriel grinned and turned to Seth, looking at him with excitement. "Friend, no, best friend, your dream is the same as mine but a bit different, if you explore the universe that means you can spread the words of me forging the greatest weapon in the universe."
Huh, this guy really wants to forge a weapon. Seth replied to him with an awkward smile. "Uhm, sure."
Rorel looked at Seth and Ufriels and then reflected on his ambition. He actually wanted to only form a faction, but it seems he wasn't thinking too narrowly, so in order for him to show his dominance. He declared his new ambition. "Those ambitions sound impressive and all, but they are nothing compared to mine, I want to become the greatest assasin to ever exist in the entire universe."
Haiki felt Rorel was trying too hard, but his mindset was not in the wrong place, Only looking up to a higher ambition can make someone surpass their previous one. "Since all of you boys have decided on such ambiguous ambitions, I too will say my ambition, I want to travel to every star in the universe and try to make my own."
Flow felt this was stupid, but strangely, she was fired up too. "Ambition huh, well honestly I would like to find the greatest body of water in the universe and just laze around there."
Everyone looked at her for a moment before they chuckled, by a large body of water didn't that just made her ambition much larger as she would have to find a bigger body of water she found one that was suitable, her ambition was merely to find the largest water source in the universe and laze around in it.
Soon, the four got acquainted quite easily, and they moved away from the camps and found a huge rock to sit at. The four exchanged information through their comms since phones don't really work and thus became friends.
Haiki was the one who was much more enthusiastic about seth. The reason was because of his strange ability and the pretty flowers growing on him, so she asked questions like. "Can you pull them off, and if you do, will it hurt?."
At that question, the three beings on the three flowers shivered in fear, but seth did not know that and answered her. "I don't know, but I think I'll be in pain if that were to happen. They are quite literally attached to my body."
"Oh, that makes sense. It actually looks like it's forming a crown on you." Haiki said as she closely observed the placement of the flowers.
Hearing the word crown triggered Ufriel, who was swinging his sword at a poor tree and immediately said. "A crown you say, I can make a suitable crown for you. You just have to go find materials yourself, and I won't mind making one with an effect you desire."
The Ambrosia family if not known by now are a family of forgers and their ability doesn't mutate or change like that of others instead their ability is more of a bloodline that can never be overpowered, the Ambrosia family are responsible for the creation of weapons that have mystical effects such as increasing concentration or increasing the health of others.
That is why among all the thirteen families, they are the richest and also the more reckless as their ability not only allows them to forge weapons but also their bodies so when the head of the Ambrosia family said that he is gold, he quite literally is gold which is the highest forging a member of the Ambrosia family can do at the current moment.
Seth pursed his lips at his suggestion. "A crown sounds disrespectful, don't you think? Some of the factions or even families may get offended, especially the Royals family and the Aristocrat Faction."
Ufriel grinned. "Our ambitions are big, so what if we offend a few people because of a measely crown? In the future, we will reach even beyond our galaxy where much stronger people may be waiting for us."
Seth has to say that making friends while arriving in this meeting place between the star race and the human race was not what he was expecting, though in a day they would all get to see what the star race looked like up front but they definitely will not try to hold back once they were antagonised, A lot of humans are racist so why can't aliens be?.
Seth didn't think Ufriels words were wrong. "Well, ok then, I'll contact you when I get materials but i do have to warn you i am still a mortal rank ability user but i should be able to become a Knight ranked ability user at the end of the month.."
Flow chuckled, laying on her whale. "You're quite weak, aren't you? All of us here are king - or Queen ranked ability users. You need to catch up, Seth~."
Rorel nodded at flows words. "True, i heard you were participating in the succession wars of the Chanes family. You do know your two cousins are already at the peak of the Knight Class and are about to reach King class and they have a lot of resources and people backing them so you may have a hard time winning."
"How did you know I'm joining the Succession wars?." Seth asked, baffled by Rorels information gathering.
"The Umbra family has a large information network, so we know a small bit about everyone, but we are more interested in big news like how you are entering the succession wars despite being weak, a lot of the youths at the family were even inspire by your boldness. "Rorel chuckled.
Seths eyes twitched. It wasn't really a big deal... he is weak at the moment, but he can't be thay weak... right.
Flow chuckled at his expression. "Seth, you haven't answered the question from earlier. Do you like Emily?."
"She's my friend." Seth simply said.
Flow had a pondering expression. She hasn't spoken to her cousin for a while. Maybe she should invite her to visit the main planet of the Whales next month. She did miss the cute expressions she made whenever she went close to her.
Seth didn't think of Flows' question, but he was thinking about Thally, who hadn't talked ever since these four came about.
But he was unaware of what was happening in his mind, but Thally was.
Thally resembled a small miniature version of Seth or, in simpler words, a youbg girl resembling Seth. She had light brown hair and green eyes that had a vertical slit in them.
With her arms on her waist and her head raised proudly, she looked at the three nature spirits and also the chains that were moving like snakes who were lined up in front of her. "Ahem, so let us begin out briefing, as i had said a few days ago. My name is Thally, and I am Seths companion, so I would do everything in my power to make sure he gets stronger without his own body and mind declaring war against each other. I'm talking to you three specifically."
The chains rattled and hissed like snakes.
Sumac had thought about this. She never thought a plant would be so...aggressive. She could still remember how it intimidated them with no effort at all, Sumac had never felt such fear. "Uhm miss Thally, how do you think we can help?."
Thally turned to Sumac and smiled. "Well, Seth is currently very weak, and he can't really control plants like how i do, and since you conveniently made yourself a part of Seth willingly, I want you to grow your roots deep into Seths mind and body."
She turned her attention back to the Chains. "You three also attacked Seth and locked him out of his mind spcae, but you didn't do it intentionally as you were just too excited to want to be used by him but you should know that he isn't strong enough to bare his own abilities yet, I still don't know what its is and you chains seem to be a small part of it, anyways you guys shouldn't ever act on your own unless Seth is in danger and I am not there to help him."
She then turned to Aspin.
