Chapter 108: Quest 99.1- The Missing Prince, 2nd Half

Opening his eyes he could feel the fatigue his body accumulated. He looks around to find himself in a rather nice cave with wooden furniture.

“Hmm…Nox can you hear me?”

‘…’

His magic circle didn’t appear.

“…Odd? (Sing)” His magic circle formed, and small sparks of electricity flickered off.

‘That magic works…Mmm…’

Cirrus gets up and walks out the cave to find himself overlooking a beach.

Slowly walking down he could feel the sweat and grim on his body. He went to the beach and took off what raggedy clothes he had on along with his gear which was destroyed by the algae and took a bath at sea.

Seeing his reflection in the sea he could see he was covered in more scars.

“More scars huh…Wait where’s my charms!?”

He quickly clothed himself and returned to the cave to see a young woman just slightly taller than Kali, with a beauty liken to Nox but with more immaturity due to her height and softer features.

“Oh? you’re up.” she said turning her gaze towards Cirrus, her pink-blue eyes and twilight like hair fascinated him. “What’s wrong? Are you enamored by my beauty? Not surprising!”

“No…I was thinking your beauty is…too artificial? And you’re not my type.”

“I don’t know what you mean by “Type”, but I know your calling your savior a fake!”

“I’m sorry if that is out it came out but you…you are a Spirit right?”

“Heh~” she made a slight smile. “So I was right my eyes didn’t deceive me, you are a Spirit Contractor! And one with a Spirit I can call my equal!”

“Then you are a first generation like Nox?”

“Yes I-wait did y-you say Nox!!” she said as the color from her tan face left her. “A-as in the Spirit of the White Night! The one who was hunted by several hero’s and spirits all throughout the continent! She’s still alive!!”

“Uhh…yes? Um I never asked much about her past seeing as it was a poor subject.”

“I would assume so, but I owe her a lot if not for her being  hunted by a massive amount of people I was able to escape before they turned to look for me.”

“Then who is your creator? And if it’s not too much what is your name?”

“Ahem! My name is Circe! The Unique Spirit of Witchcraft! Spirit of the goddess of magic, Hecate!”

It suddenly clicked as to why Circe would have been hunted by Zeus and the others since Hecate was a goddess of the night it would be natural to assume that she was one of Nyx’s spirit's. Maybe some general bloodlust was in there along with some pack mentality.

Cirrus also noticed how different they are, Nox gave out a more inhuman perfection kind of vibe, Circe however gave out a more warmer and studious vibe.

“I…I see but a unique spirit? I thought you were of her generation?”

“I was but I was created during the tail end of her generation with a new recipe if you will so most Unique Spirits are a very odd bunch. But know that I may be a support type but I'm certainly stronger then those of the 2^nd generation!!”

'So generation 1.5?'

“Mmm…so are you alone on this island?”

“…” Her expression mellowed down. “Yes…and seeing as Nox of all spirits is contracted to you that must mean the hunt has proved successful. Is it still somehow going on?”

“No, it ended a very long time ago. Now most of the remaining sprites are well into the later generations.”

“That’s a relief…Haa, come I’m going to prepare some food for you. You’re lucky I can still feed off the magic in the air.”

She turned her head and headed towards the cave.

Cirrus could tell Circe hasn’t thought of the past for a long time. It was also enough to let Cirrus trust her, from how he see's it if your alone long enough you will do anything for some company.

 

They returned to the cave and ate; Cirrus could see she had questions she wanted to know the answers to.

“Alright what are your questions?”

“Huh?”

“You look like you have questions so what’s on your mind?”

“Um well…how is the outside world? I haven’t left this island in…well a very long time.”

“Mmm…were to begin…”

Cirrus explained to her how much time has changed, several of things she knew had either been built and expanded or lost to time. She asked if her god had come to Gekai to which he doesn’t know other than she could be in Altena.

She asked a few more and Cirrus answered to the best of his ability.

“So is that all?”

“Um yes, that’s about everything…but I do have something to ask you?”

“Well my ears are open.”

“Can you talk to your Spirit? Seeing your soul I found that she had used a Samsara Contract with you so you should be able to communicate with one another despite distances.”

“Hmm no, since I woke up I tried to talk to her but nothing but silence I even try to summon her, but nothing worked, does it have anything to do with this island?”

“Umm…” Circe started to sweat. “N-no um… it’s not the islands fault…” she began to sweat bullets.

“Then what was-“

“It’s me okay!! I um…I made a contract with you to save your life and it was supposed to be a temporary one but um…I'm sorry about it! I didn't know it would do that!! I'm really sorry!" she bowed profusely.

“…Ah so the reason I can’t communicate with Nox is because…”

“It’s clogged up with my contract.”

‘Ah…was it because I petted that hawk? Mmmmm…im'ma just keep that to myself.’

“…Well um I have to thank you for saving me but uh do you have a ship or anything?”

“A ship? Why would I? Heck I don’t even know how to build one.”

“So no boat?”

“No.”

“Shit.”

1^St goal, build a boat.

“I don’t fucking know how to build a boat either!!”

1^st goal, learn to build a boat!

“There are also riptides around the island along with my barrier which…I also can’t take down due to the contract remaining unfinished.”

1^st goal, learn to build a strong boat!
