[Poly Entry 32:] Reminiscing

[voice;]

Yesterday was yet another odd curse. The sudden urge to want to soar the sky was quite distracting.

[Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiighs.]

Ah.. it reminded me of the days when we still had the wing pack. The use of the Rarebirds were rather nice. The feeling of becoming one with the wind. Hmmm~ it was magnificent.

You mean you could actually fly? I assume 'the wing pack' is some sort of mechanism that allowed you to fly.

Voice

[whackaspirit]

Ah, Spencer. How are you feeling? And that's right. It's through the use of a winged device unlike the elves' natural ability to fly by channeling mana through their body.

I'm better, Klarth. Thank you.

By mana, you mean energy? [Yeah he's working out how this is logical in his head.]

Voice

[whackaspirit]

I'm glad to hear.

Hm. Essentially the life source that is from the Earth itself.

Re: Voice

[yesimagenius]

Can you actually harness and channel the energy or are you speaking more philosophically?

Voice

[whackaspirit]

The former. In a way, they communicate with nature through their blood to conjure magic. With the wind element in order to fly, fire element in order to start a fire, etc.

Re: Voice

There are various forms of spirituality and meditation that operate, much less successfully, on that sort of theory. I'll have to do some research on it in the library.

Voice

[whackaspirit]

Oh? Such as?

Re: Voice

[yesimagenius]

Pantheism, most Wicca religions, to an extent Buddhism. None of them are terribly common where I'm from and I"m certain there are more that I'm leaving out, certainly I'm not as specific as I should be

Voice

[whackaspirit]

Ah, none of which I've ever heard before. Interesting. We have but a single known deity from long ago. However, even her name is rarely spoken.

Re: Voice

[yesimagenius]

We've got a multitude of religions in my world and a whole group that claims to have none at all. I think it depends on how you define religion whether you can say you've got one or not.

Why rarely spoken?

Voice

[whackaspirit]

I've once read of her existence in an ancient scripture during my research of the summon spirits. Most old and barely legible in some stances. It seems it's simply tapered over the course of the years. One could only make assumptions of exactly why that maybe the case.

However, I've experienced firsthand that she does, indeed, exist. The Goddess Martel and guardian of the Yggdrasil tree.

Re: Voice

[yesimagenius]

So religion as a whole has disappeared a great deal from your world?

First hand? Really?

Voice

[whackaspirit]

I'm certain each village has their own diety to worship. However, the main goddess is no longer a prominent figure so should I say?

Indeed. At one point, our world was on the verge of losing all of its mana source, due to its overconsumption through the use of magitechnology. If I were to speak of everything involved, this would become a rather long story. But essentially, we were able to revive the Yggdrasil tree and thus strengthen Martel's power once again in order to sustain the world's natural balance.

Re: Voice

[yesimagenius]

That would make some sense.

[Reid listens, fascinated but it's too far beyond his realm of understanding to really be able to identify with it.] And it's maintained itself thus far?

Voice

[whackaspirit]

Indeed it has. As long as it's consumption isn't abundantly used once again, it should be able to remain stable.

[ooc; wow somehow I missed this /sobs OTL so sorry;;]
