Chapter 61: Chapter 61: In search of new talents

I took a quick look at the inventory finding the clothes I made along with my father, smirking proudly at our feat.

Inventory:

30x Wool Top(F)
30x Wool Bottom(F)

Once through the door, I took a few more steps, opening my wings to the sides, showing everyone around the light pink in them, with very few hints of red on them.

'Time to hunt fairies and give some clothes to peasants,' I smiled, flying towards the poorest section of the forest. My father had mentioned it, even if he hadn't done anything about it. If all the fairies weren't a big family, it was likely that they would have revolted at some point. To keep harmony in one's territory was one of the ordeals of a ruler.

On my way there I stopped at a branch, looking down and far at our forest. From how high I was, it was possible to see its full extent, not that it was small, but perhaps to outsiders, it was tiny and incredibly hard to find, after all, we were fairies.

I saw a couple of them cutting trees, they had been instructed before my time to do it from within towards the outside to keep something like a barrier that made creatures stay away. These tall wooden pillars had something special to them that blessed us with protection, a horrible scent to monsters, and for us, a perfume that elated our nostrils.

'Father told me that nobles are the ones that live closest to our house, so I'll fly through them,' as I glided through the air to preserve stamina, I spammed my left eye on the many nobles in an attempt to find someone worth taking under my wing.

Eventually, I landed in an area where fairies slept on the ground, naked. Where some starved and looked sickly like they were about to die. The younger ones hadn't much food, nor were they at the age to absorb mana. Houses were absent, and the same could be said for the beds, it really did look like an entirely different forest, and for it to be so close to my home... this sight saddened me greatly.

I heard some of them coughing, others sneezing, my feet took me between them, without approaching them, avoiding contracting any of their diseases.

'This is how plagues start...' I scorned myself and the fact I took so long to find out about their situation, keeping to myself the will to repair this damage, for I was a fixer and a leader.

With this trip my left eye had burned, allowing me to see what I thought to be the main personality trait of a being. The situation around me didn't take long to become awkward, as they soon realized who I was from the speech I gave. There was not a single fairy that didn't know what I looked like, especially for having an indigo appearance, a color that many desired for its uniqueness.

I smiled faintly, raising my hand at chest height, greeting this and that as I went through, finding their bodies to kneel in my presence, one after the other. Like loyal subjects, they descended onto the ground, showering me with their respect and adoration for I was grand and famous, and above all else, the leader and the promised savior of the forest.

Through my machiavellian plans I had made sure everyone understood just how important I was to this place and that without me, everyone would die. I had given my best attempt to brainwash them through false propaganda, allowing me to ascend to greater heights in a short time, but alas, there was only so much I could do.

"You may all rise and be at ease, I've come to bring you some things that you may use to combat the coldness. I'd like you to share them amongst yourselves," I gallantly expanded my arms to the sides, pouring out the 30 wool tops and respective bottoms to the ground, causing some vividness in their eyes.

"Use them on those who are sick, wash them in the dew of the flowers from time to time."

My starry eyes noticed the peasants going in awe at my generosity.

"Leader, if I may speak." And suddenly, one of them spoke, embracing my attention onto her dark skin, finding the source of the soft voice, one who transpired darkness, possessing charcoal hair, eyes, and wings. Almost like night had come to greet me, or perhaps death.

In my brain information about her remained secretive, 'Alice, female, wand, supportive.'

And I smiled faintly, understanding that she could be useful to heal the soldiers. Not part of the talented ones that I thought to find, but one I'd keep and raise under my wing, for this one looked young.

"You may speak Alice," as I called her by her name she looked at me with trembling eyes and a surprised face, causing a similar reaction to those who knew the girl.

She gripped her new clothes, finding courage within herself, wiping the corner of her eye for a tear to not fall, and finally stated. "I have a sick younger brother and no way to help him, so I'd like to be able to work for you supreme leader Flamerah in exchange for some food to help him please." 

"Take me to him and I'll judge if he's worthy," upon hearing my words she got up as fast as she could and ran in a specific direction which I followed through the middle of many peasants who were overjoyed by my words and gifts.

As I walked I used my eye on those around me to see if I could find anyone to my liking whilst my dress made a dark effect causing the peasants to think that it was my natural aura, glorifying such a sight in their minds, respecting me deeply. Some were touched by it thinking it was a blessing, others were scared but soon realized it was harmless becoming interested and curious about it. Rumors and tales would surely be born in this day, for the new generations to delight in them.

"This young boy is my brother, leader," she stared patiently at me, innocently like any young fairy would, thus as I had referred, my starry gaze fell upon him, causing my eye to burn once more.

"Ugh," I moaned in pain, placing my hand on my eye and closing it, causing the girl in front of me to shiver in worry and fear.

"Is everything alright leader? Was he not worthy?" She looked at me with a sad face and a trembling voice, thinner than before.

"Haven't seen yet my eye decided to evolve, let me try again," I gazed at Alice once more to understand the differences.

'Alice, female, wand, supportive, doctor.'

Surprised by the information, I questioned her, "do you have a job yet? If you do what's it called?"

"I do not have one yet. Our job ceremony has yet to happen."

'She has no reason to lie and she looks young like me, in other words, my new eye ability is the possibility of a future job.'

'Even though thinking about it the weapon is a wand. She's also supportive, those two things sound like good traits that a doctor could have and she has a sick brother. Could it be that the will and desire to heal him influenced the future job?'

'In my case, it was the desire to make things to help others,' I glanced at the sky, finding some compassion in this girl's heart, receiving a minor blow from the wind, causing my hair to flow backward.
