Thinking that it was just an ordinary metal spider the king turned it around on his palm to admire the craftsmanship but the minute he placed it on its feet it began to move up his arm. In alarm the king immediately used a gust of wind to throw the terrible incarnation at the wall. Resilient the spider got up after hitting the floor but the king had, had enough. He turned his wind into a spear and drilled a hole into the ghastly thing.
As the king tried to regain his footing Lune pouted at her destroyed creation. Before bringing it to the King, Lune had considered using it on the castle guards but thinking she would have another chance to use it, Lune decided to try it on her father first. Seeing that nothing could be salvaged from the wreck, Lune could only mourn the loss of the terrified expressions she would have seen if she had set it on the castle guards.
"See!." Zechra said, pointing at the wreckage.
"She always plays nasty tricks like this." Zechra said, pointing at Lune in an exasperated manner.
The king tried to smile despite being in clear distress minutes ago.
"She is just joking, it was nothing harmful" the king said, trying to shrug it off.
"But I do hope, that I don't have to bring your mother into this." the king said and Lune nodded quickly in fear.
The kingdom of Alvonia is blessed by four spirits, each of them representing the spirit of air, water, earth and fire.
At full term, expecting mothers head to a huge temple in the centre of Alvonia. The temple is a huge dome-shaped white building with blue crystal glass as windows and at the top of the dome. Inside the building, lies a small black circle where the mother is to lay down and outside that small circle lies a bigger circle that is split into four colours to represent each spirit.
For the spirit of air, a feather in a white space, for the spirit of earth, a shield is placed in a green space, for the spirit of fire a hammer is placed in a red space and for the spirit of water a leaf is placed in a blue space.
The expecting mothers and the two people who accompany them stay in a smaller circle in the middle of the temple, surrounded by all the parts dedicated to the spirits and once the expectant mother puts to bed, all the tokens light up for one minute before fading out. At the end of the process the only one that remains alit offers the child thier blessing.
People blessed by the spirit of the wind were often free spirited. They were friendly and always playful. Some had the power to redirect objects or change the direction of the wind and the more experienced ones could take away air from a particular space, form weapons and even fly depending on how attuned they were to the wind.
People with low attunement can barely form weapons, they can't change the direction of the wind and most certainly can not fly but they can increase their speed and float little objects.
People with a medium level of attunement can summon huge gusts of wind, float heavier objects and levitate six feet off the ground.
People blessed by the spirit of the earth were well grounded people. They are strong and defensive, sound and laid-back. People with high attunement to the spirit of the earth can find anything that walks on the earth, they can grow anything and have high defensive skin that normal swords couldn't scratch.
People with low attunement to the spirit of the earth can easily win a fight against other people of low attunement from the various spirits but instead of their whole body being defensive they can only increase the defense of a specific part of their body.
People with medium attunement to the spirit of the earth also acquire defensive skin but compared to the defense capability of high level attunement their defensive skill is like tempered glass. They also have the ability to grow small plants and can only find people within a radius of 4 meters.
People blessed by the water spirit are spiritually calm. They are devoted and kind.
People of high attunement can change water to ice,make weaponry, make duplicates of themselves and can call a storm or hail.
People of low attunement can create mist and manipulate water in small containers.
People of medium attunement can manipulate the mist to form a mirage, they can manipulate water in oceans and the sea and they can summon rain.
People blessed with the spirit of fire are known for their strong and wilful personalities. They are impatient but resourceful and capable of creation.
People of high attunement can meld the most precious of ores used to attach the blessings given by the spirit on a weapon. They have the ability to animate anything they create and can make life like structures without an ore.
People of medium attunement can meld precious metals but take more time to refine it. They can animate small structures with the help of an ore and can not attribute a blessing to a weapon.
Lastly, people of low attunement could build basic equipment or trinkets but not weapons. They don't have the ability to refine nor do they have the strength to meld precious metals or ores.
