Eleanora’s stats increased even more as she ascended into a Vampire, and even gained two bonus Skills, Blood Flare for offensive Magic Damage and Vampiric Eyes for cursing foes and momentarily paralyze them if they’re susceptible enough. Additionally, she suddenly gained the Fire Element, something I had not expected, but perhaps was related greatly with the fact she acquired [Blood Flare] after all. Her eyes were flaring with red fire, perhaps this is a new element she had awakened now as a spirit.
“Fire, huh? I never expected to get this element from all the ones out there…” She said while beginning to summon red fire and play around it as if it were nothing.
“Be careful where you put that fire, you might end up accidentally burning this house, Eleanora.” I sighed, reprimanding her.
“Aw come on, let me play for a bit longer… I am a bit nervous you know? We are leaving tomorrow and all. I never thought I would grow so attached to this place to the point it makes me nervous to leave…” She sighed.
“Well, yeah, I agree. It really makes me slightly concerned, this whole thing.” I sighed. “We have gone beyond what I had ever thought we would reach in this tiny village. It is more like a city at this point.”
“Well, it has been almost five years Blake… But yeah. Finally, we’ll go see more of this world outside.” Said Eleanora.
Aside from entering he Adventurer’s Academy, there was another thing that required me to reach this age, and that was. Obviously, that at the age of 13 we are considered young adults (while we are considered adults at 15), and we won’t be apprehended if we wander around as kids. It is also the age our parents traditionally let us go more loose instead of being so controlling, although this might be different in other parts of the world for all I know.
“Blake! Are you done evolving Eleanora?”
Erika quickly walked downstairs; her appearance had changed a lot from when she was just eight years of age. Taller than before, with a more defined body even her chest has begun to grow alarmedly bigger over the last weeks.
“Yeah, all’s done now.” I said with a smile. “Oh, is this a new dress?”
Erika was wearing a beautiful new dress, it was white and red in color, and she was even wearing shoulder pads and chest plate too as her full armor set.

“Beautiful of course. You’re not one of the girls every kid has a crush on for nothing.” I laughed.
“Geez, that’s not as if I wanted it to happen that way…” She said while pouting. “But I am glad you find me beautiful! You’re also quite handsome, never thought your baby face would finally change a bit!”
“Hey! Who are you calling baby face?” I sighed. “Anyways, we have to go back home now. My mother’s going to yell at me if we are late to my birthday party.”
“Alright!” Erika ran after me, as the two of us walked back home.
The beautiful big tree at the distance, the sweet aroma of its leaves, the beautiful forest and the green grass covering these plains. The houses, the farms, the animals, the smell of fresh soil… I will miss it all.
“We are finally starting our adventure, aren’t we?” Erika wondered.
“Well… I wouldn’t exactly call an adventure to sit on a desk all day. But yeah, probably.” I said.
Erika looked at me with her green and golden eyes.
“What’s wrong? You look… sad.” She said.
“Hm?”
I was fairly sure that I wasn’t making any face at all… Did she somewhat read through my heart? I think this is also part of her Dryad’s abilities. I suppose I cannot really hide my feelings from her as easy as before.
“Well… Yeah. I am quite sad to leave behind my home and everything else. I know my desire for exploring this world and growing stronger is even bigger but… I can’t help but feel like this. I guess it’s going to go away once we begin our journey.”
Erika smiled back at me.
“Honestly, I am very sad too! So sad I could cry…” She sighed. “But I smile anyways, because my excitement and happiness over what’s to come easily overcomes this sadness…”
Despite the childish nature of her words, I found some truth in them.
“You are?” I asked.
“Yeah… I am excited to go with everyone… and you.” Said Erika, as she suddenly blushed a bit.
Her hand slowly stretched towards mine, as she held my hand like the old times, when we were small children and I had to hold her hand to make her feel protected and not alone.
I guess I am the one being comforted now.
Unlike before, her hand was warm, and filled with vitality, she held mine tightly, as if trying to convey her feelings through this…
“Thank you, Erika.”
