The Guardian gods

Chapter 71

The demon didn't wait for much longer as it heard voices moving closer to where it was laying. Hearing the voice the demon used its last remaining power to turn into a flower with a captivating smell.

The humans inhabiting the area of the crash site, got closer with each holding onto a wooden spear but that soon changed as they caught the whiff of the scent from the flower.

The smell seems to have an adverse effect as one of the humans used the spear it was holding to puncture the person closer to him. That seemed to set things off as he was also punctured from behind.

It took a while before the sound of battle ended, now only one human remained with three wooden spears coming out from different sides of his body.

Stumbling to the flower, the human knelt down, getting his nose closer to the flower to take a sniff when the flower disintegrated turning into ash as it flowed into the nose and the opened mouth of the human.

After the flower disintegrated, silence befell the area as the human body began to violently twitch which stopped after a while.

A chuckle escaped from the human as his body slowly stood up while he spread his arms apart while looking up to the blue sky " Finally the mighty Murmur is back"

Not minding the the spears in his body, Murmur walked towards the sight of battle before gesturing into thin air where corporeal souls of the dead humans moved towards his opened mouth, the souls turned into dots of lights as they got into his mouth while he chewed with his eyes closed " Oh, how much I have missed tasting the souls of humans"

Grabbing onto the spears in his body and pulling them out, Murmur showed no expression of pain as the whole immediately filled up, looking around the forest Murmur showed a look of thinking " If memory serves me right, the human settlement is this way"

With that Murmur walked into the forest and behind him lay a place of gore with blood staining the ground everywhere. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Back at the Eastern continent ruled by the god of nature, a house could be seen in a deep forest of this continent, the house was able to stay untouched by the rain of fire which shows the mystery surrounding this place.

If Ikem was here, he would recognise that this house was the place where his father made his home in the outside world.

This particular area of the forest has quite a unique sight to it which was the tree here looked a lot different than anywhere in the planet Nana, The trees stand as tall as three story buildings but unlike your normal trees, some trees can be seen with leaves on fire, some has water on the tree, some looked no different from trees but the glowing green leaves says otherwise.

Some of the trees looked like their bark was made of rocks with trees growing out of the rock. Soon a creaking sound can be heard as loud footsteps moved closer to the house.

Looking at where the footsteps came from, nothing can be seen in sight but only a tall green foot, following the sight of the foot upwards, you will be met with the sight of a gentle gaze from a dinosaur with a tall neck.

From a bird's eye view, a small forest can be seen on the back of the dinosaur with birds occasionally flying in and out from the forest.

" Finally everyone is here" A voice came from the house as a treant with leaves that has water droplets that never seems to fall into ff walked out from the house, and behind the treant was another treant that looked more like it was made of stones but the plants limbs and head showed the unique structure of this treant.

As soon as Aqua and Brix walked out of the house. The tall trees around them all sprouted a huge face from their backs and the huge heads on the long neck dinosaurs all came down to a visible height.

" You all know the reason why we are all gathered in this sacred city pace today, Our world face a disaster never seen before, leaving devastation in its wake"

" I am sure you all have seen the treasures that came with the disaster, but they are of no use to us. The only thing worth our attention is the plant life that came with this disaster, even as this moment we talk, the plant life is rapidly spreading"

Aqua stopped speaking before continuing " This is one of the reasons on why we are gathered here, over the years we have taken it upon ourselves selves to preserve nature and keep it as balanced as it should be, but today this disaster had destroyed the very nature we all swore to protect"

" Brothers and sisters, I employ you to use all your power to bring back the lost balance, not only for this continent but those beyond ours, which is where our esteemed members the dinosaurs come in to guard and lead you in your journey across the continent"

This time Brix spoke out " As for the invasive plants, you find along the way, please lay no waste to them but instead with our connection to nature, welcome their presence into our world"

With that said, Brix and Aqua took on their full form as they turned into giant walking trees, with them leading the way the other treant around also changed their form and followed right behind.

Behind them, Earth and plants moved to cover the house once again. Brix and Aqua after they left Ikem began their own journey, at first they both had no idea where to start but they both did one thing which was go to an area affected by a big fight between magical creatures and restore the area that has been affected.

They continued this way for a while before it developed into the them helping out weaker creatures by making the stronger creature move out, they both understand that this was the natural way of things but the stronger creatures aren't giving the weaker creature a chance to survive, this encounter led to them staying in this area for a while as they all gathered the dangerous animals together at a place and the weaker ones at a different place.

This didn't turn out well as the stronger creature fought each other for territory or a chance to grow stronger, while the supposed weaker creature attacked each other because the other was weaker and was a chance to go up in the food chain.

This led to both Brix and Aqua being stomped for a while as they didn't know what to do, this went on for a while as they no longer interfered in the natural process of living animals instead they did their best to restore the destroyed environment.

One day Brix too it upon himself to take a creature that has become endangered and cater to it, this gave the creature a chance to survive and this led to it becoming the sole survivor of it's endangered race, this gave both the treant ideas as they decided that from now now they are only to intervene once a race become endangered to give them chance at life once again.

During their journey, the also met other transformed treant, some of the treant has no other element except for wood while some by chance have other element coexisting with them, this brought great joy to Brix and Aqua as they shared their gain to the other treants who also like what the two were doing so they all joined in.

This lead to a bunch of treants supervising a certain area of the forest, when this is above them they all inform Brix and Aqua who helps them solve it. The creation of this group of treant led Brix and Aqua to develop a new magic, not really a magic but they connected with their creator in his slumber signing a contract with nature.

This led to communication between treant to be unhindered as they can also connect with each other no matter the distance.

As for the dinosaurs, it was nothing but an unexpected encounter when Brix and Aqua after signing contract with nature was able to perceive things differently, as in the sight the long neck dinosaurs turned out to be one of the great extension of nature, where ever there huge step walks by becomes a water source for the parched animals, the bird's living on their back help spread seed of life everywhere they take a step, it can be said that what Brix and Aqua was doing consciously the dinosaurs were doing it just by existing and moving around.

Back to when Ikem and his men left the mountain in search of food, Ikem and his men can be seen speeding through the forest with Ikem holding onto a map pointing to the place left for him by his father in case his people has a need for food.
