5 Evolution and Oath

I immediately clicked on the evolution option that seemed to make the most sense.

after some time, exactly 4 hours I awoke from my slumber and looked at my status excitedly.

'System is getting very serious it seems. It somehow wants to spoil me, very nice, very juicy.'

I looked at myself and realised that I had changed my body hat become brown and rough, like bark. My body looked very thin and nearly skeletal.I was so occupied with my new body, status and the unimaginable possibilities, that I didn't feel the presence behind me.

Someone poked me.

I jumped 2 feet in the air in response, and turned around.

I front of me was a little elf, around 4 feet tall, with white hair and grey eyes, who looked at me curiously. She seemed to be a girl as she wore a dress and had 2 braids on both sides. On her face were some strange red markings.

"What are you ?" she asked with big eyes

"I... I "

'How embarrassing I can barely talk.'

"BoWtRuCkLe " I croaked.

Before I could find a way to communicate in a better way I heard a loud voice yelling in my direction.

"YOU"

"mE ?"

"him ?"

Another elf now around 5ft 9 tall came running towards me with a Huge Weapon. It looked like one of these pokey-things called spears but weirder. He had long ears that ended in a blue tip, black hair and in white skin. His built was on the leaner side and he wore some armor made of an unknown material.

"You Creature dare to look at the princess! I shall strike you down with all my might!" He screamed and charged in my direction with his spear going for my neck.

'Geez what's his problem'

Before I could raise my arms, the girl jumped in front of me and punched the guy.

"Let him be, he is cute" yelled the little girl in the elf's direction.

As she turned around, I felt a weird emotion as if something was screaming at me to bow down to this person. As if she would be everything I will ever need, as if I only existed to serve and protect her. I stood there in a daze. Suddenly my whole body moved on it's own.

'WHAT IS HAPPENING!?'

My knee hit the ground as I spoke in an otherworldly and weird voice:

"By the name of the Forest, I may call you Master until the roots of its trees turn to dust. I may call you my Responsibility until you wish the otherwise. I may protect you until I crumble under the might of time itself. and when everything seems lost, I will be there to guide you through your hardships. This is my Vow of Roots."

|You bound yourself to another person by the |Vow of Roots| |

|You can not choose another master as long as you or your master is still alive|

|You can not hurt or dislike her|

'I messed up, I should never have chosen this evolution'

'ok damn'

Green light flew out of my body and slowly a tattoo formed itself on her forearms. It looked like a tree with the twigs going up the Arm.

She looked at me with wide eyes.

after a few seconds of silence .

and the groaning of an elf in the background.

She smiled softly.

"Hello my name is Irina Vanaheim, I am the princess of the Vanaheim Kingdom that is in control of the Elhain Forrest and the lands that surround it. I hearby accept your oath as my guardian and name you Pan."

|You have been accepted as the guardian of the 6th princess of the Vanaheim Kingdom|

|You have received a Name|
