Ch.3 Throne of Gems

The frightful realization hit me, I was about to make the whole world my enemy. As I was breaking down into tears, I couldn't stop crying.

"Whaaaaaaawhaaaaaa....ah...aahah", I couldn't stop, it's the same feeling as when I almost turn into barbecue, I need to cry, and primal instincts took over me. I felt like a small child suddenly becoming an adult, knowing that crying wouldn't solve the problem but not having another way to bent out my frustration.

"Sweetie what's wrong." The Fairy panicked and cradle me in her bosom, Her warm embrace slowly calming my childish outburst, recovering my state of mind.

I sniffle, even though I did not have a nose to do so with, feeling better As she tried her best to Comfort me

"M-mii-miss quill What you say about absorbing All the mana Around 500 miles around me, Does that mean the humans, and the other sapient Races will hunt me? Is it To reclaim the mana I devour?"

The Fairy looked at me, with shock in her eyes, she clearly did not think I was smart enough to guess my situation. Even though she was explaining things to me it was in a slow and detailed manner, almost as if she was talking to a small but very intelligent child. She must have thought that I was just like the rest of the mentally damaged Cores, with fuse memories, and was slightly or heavily unstable.

She pauses, thinking what to say, the look on her eyes sad, yet unwilling to see me suffer. "Child there's not much I can do for you, If you were just a core with no fire element affinity I could help fend off you're would-be captors till your strong enough to protect yourself."

"However being a Prismatic Core there is no possibility for the mages not to notice you, even the martial artist who copies the Beastmen Body Tempering Technique would notice you, as they won't be able to absorb any clashing elements to cause their body to crumble and rebuild itself stronger."

"If you didn't fuse with that inherent memory, there would still be hope, now however you're mind is far too develop and you're instincts will awaken with or without your consent. At least the fusion did not mentally break you, even though you seem to revert back to the child I remember before fully emerging from your Elemental Geode."

"Geode? you mean that stone egg with gems inside?" Looking around my cave for the first time I found a wall behind me with an oval-shaped, "egg", with a sharp crack on it, the opening showing thousands if not more small rainbow gems that look pale and discolored the closer to the middle.

The middle of the gemstone nest was almost completely discolored, looking like glass with a slight rainbow glimmer. The shape of a diamond was molded on it and was about twice the size of miss Q'ill, the outline of which had small fish scale indentations.

I realized that this was probably how my body looked. Now that my mind was stabled I take notes of my surroundings, a large house-size cave with no opening, stretched before my "egg", up against one of its walls. "Miss Gi..."

Before I could start the sentence I felt as the loving embrace was starting to get murderous. "Miss WHAT! dear.. hehe." I remembered that I botched miss Q'ills name again, and nearly did it again before apologizing for the first one.

"Mii-ii-isss Q-ill!, thanks for comforting me you're... uhh, loving and gentle nature soothed my heart." I hope the sweet talker card works on her.

"Q'ill.. dear, and this is all I can offer you, my assignment was to raise you the best I could. The prediction of your Elemental Geode was a Double Elemental Core, so I was sent to be your Dungeon Fairy, now, however, sigh... I'm ill-suited for such an honor." She sounded hopeless and ashamed.

"Miss G.. aah... Q... Qiil Q'ILL! Why do you feel ashamed? You've done really well, so far each time I lost myself or have questions, you have always answered me, or comfort me, the best you could."

I couldn't really find fault in what she had done so far, even though she clearly had a fiery temper it only shows when her Achilles heel is touched that being her name.

"A gentle smile bloomed on her face, I am truly grateful for your praise. However, I am still not up to the standards of a prismatic core. Like I said before your standing is that to Royalty from a human's perspective, a lowly second leaf sprout like myself is unable to protect you from the hungry and greedy eyes of those races that don't know your noble mission in life."

"If I was stronger like one of the four Y'ggdrazil Army Generals, I'd be able to protect you so you can bring our mother planet to a new era of progress." She said this with such power and heroic aura that it felt like a battle-hardened warrior full of scars from head to toe would bow to her delicate and dignified face.

My own face, not that I had one, was a bit confused, I was presently reviewing all the information she had told me before shocked at how easy and clear it all was. It would seem my mind and memory are greatly improved from my Human days, I was the rarest and most precious, variation of Dungeon Core, the Prismatic Elemental Core.

I am able to absorb all elements around 500miles with me as the center, this meant that I could purify an area the size of a country, which was simply astronomical. However, I started to take my impending doom seriously, if the problem comes from me doing what the planet's will wanted, then ain't it being held back by the creatures it originally nurtures?

If this is true, then I really doubt Elemental Cores we're a 'Miracle', and more likely something the planet did to cut its losses. As soon as that thought crossed my mind a small Voice ran thru my head.

I was momentarily surprised by the monotone yet not a lifeless voice in my head. I remembered this voice from someone, where... Oh! The voice who asks me to wake up.

Wait, what is it downloading? I feel like something is trying to merge with my mind, similar to when my memories were trying to forcefully merge with the original Cores.

"Miss Quill! gha... I meant Q'ill!, I need to sleep, my body is merging with other memories! This time though I feel like there be little to no side effects."

"Sweetie... please be careful you will kill yourself at this rate. Your birth was very complicated you were always crying. The Cores which are born from absorbing the shards and pieces of many others will have a higher chance to be a Double or tricolor Core, this is a way for Cores to give future generations a chance to be stronger than the parents."

"Many cores have been destroyed and use as accessories or other ingredients. More still collected by humans finding the wild cores with no fully form awareness. The parent Cores gathered these pieces by killing invaders, or they were supplied to them by the Fairy army."

"A parent will leave behind a piece of its own core, which will house the soul of the child while leaving memories to protect and teach them the basics. These memories will also prevent the lingering wills of the sapient races, that have erased the cores or fragments original will, to overrun the newly born Cores own ego however you're different."

"You're birth was the result of the war between the Sapient races, millions of small fragments of many wild and Dungeon Cores, scattered all over the battlefield. The fragments slowly came together after many large-scale spells were cast, making the cradle of gems that became your Geode."

"From one of the many shards that make your body, a soul was born, and this defenseless soul somehow managed to remain mostly unchanged. You need to be careful, or you will lose even this small miracle of stability you have now. You must stay strong and never let the broken wills take control."

"Don't worry I believed this won't make things worse for me! Please wait for the good news miss Gill!"

The world rapidly turns black, a pissed-off voice is the last thing I heard.

"IT'S Q'ILL!"
