He managed to get forest and earth magic as well as ice magic. Why he didn't try to get all of the elements is because he doesn't wanna burn the forest down, and he has a hard time imagining lighting and because he couldn't think of any more elements except for light and darkness which he tries to get but failed.
"Ah. I forgot about wind." Aariv said. He focuses mana and imagines wind into the shape of a shape arrow. After a few minutes, he has finally done it.

It panics and before it could attract attention it was silenced by Aariv grabbing its face and look at it in the eyes. When he saw that the goblin's eyes became cloudy, he let go of the goblin's face and stop using mana to keep root wrapping around the goblin, and let it go slack.
"Get up." Aariv order.
The goblin struggle to get the root off it and after a moment it got up, stumbling. "When I appraise it, it said that goblins group up, so this goblin could belong to a group of goblins." Aariv. "It also said that they could create a settlement." This was interesting to him and he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Aariv looks at the goblin. "Do you belong to a settlement?" He said. The goblin nod. "Take me to them." The goblin nod and began walking, swaying and Aariv follow it.

Aariv flew up to a tree that completely overlooks the camp and observes it. Goblins were walking around, eating, picking their noses, and scratching their bum.

Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia
Book one now available on Kindle. The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

Time Can't Heal This
I've always hated the saying "Time heals all wounds." Maybe in most cases that may be true. In my experience with life and pain however, time has only ever bled out the wound. The scars that the wounds left behind though, are often so deep that just looking at them becomes painful to the mind. Time only heals what you let go of. Sometimes letting go and moving on just doesn't feel possible; no matter how much time you let pass you by.These poems signify what time hasn't healed for me.
