Failed spell
-Chapter 33: Failed spell-
Inside the coffin, the small body of the fairy had lost its incandescent glow after using the power of regeneration, now, her appearance made Har speechless, not only for the fact that this is unprecedented in the Zelda saga, but but also because of the dazzling beauty of the little fairy.
Her face is so pretty that she seems to drive away all bad thoughts, her long hair is shiny like the most beautiful waters, it is separated into two locks that cover her private parts.
Her little wings flap very quickly on her back, her ears are long and pointed, her eyes like a precious gem looked at Har.
They both exchanged glances for an instant, only the next second something more abnormal than all of the above happened.
"...!"
Har's eyes widened, suddenly, the little fairy's entire body began to fill with black crack-like lines, even her skin turned pale to the naked eye.
Not knowing what was happening, Har could only observe with disbelief and concern, everything happened very quickly, it only took a second for the fairy to lose the shine in her eyes, seeming to be at the gates of death.
"No!!"
In the end, Har reacted and would not sit idly by and do nothing about it, however, in this situation where every second counts, Har acted too late.
He reached out his hand trying to reach the little fairy, he didn't know if there was a way to heal this serious injury, but as long as he can return it to the inventory he thinks it will stop the expansion of the wounds on the little fairy, if he succeeds, then he could return it to the inventory. some source of a great fairy, there is no way to know what is happening at this moment, you can only act first and then think.
However, he couldn't hold the little fairy, his body seemed to have become illusory, like a ghost, they were unable to interact with each other, furthermore, the message to pick up an item and put it into the inventory didn't appear.
As soon as he noticed this, Har's concern rose several levels, he doesn't know why, but he felt a connection with this little fairy, he felt that she would die and that made him feel sorry.
This little fairy is no longer a virtual item, the earlier glint in her gaze was enough to determine that she had indeed passed into reality and she became self-aware.
Then, when she finally got to see a real world, she was suddenly put in this life and death situation, Har doesn't know very well, but it seems that the little fairy used all her power to have a better result.
Regarding the connection with the little fairy or her acquisition of consciousness, it is something that does not happen in the game, or at least not in BotW, where they are treated by the player as simple creatures caged to preserve their own life.
In the plot of Ocarina of Time, fairies are creatures with an intelligence no less than humans, in addition, they formed a kind of bond with the Kokiri, the children who are born from the great Deku tree in the Kokiri forest.
It can be seen that the fairies not only have high intelligence, but are also capable of speaking with other species besides the Kokiri, such as the Hylians, or at least with the Hero Link.
"..."
Before Har's worried eyes, the little fairy just looked at him, her expression showed guilt for some reason, she closed her eyes and lowered her head, she looked sad, almost as if she was apologizing that her actions were not enough, at that very moment, the little fairy turned into a bunch of glowing particles and quickly disappeared from head to toe.
Har looked at this and felt helpless, with a great sadness growing inside him, but something happened that made him react suddenly, because at the last moment, the little fairy spoke to him with a low and sweet voice.
"It is all I can do…"
'...?!'
Obviously, Har was surprised to hear the little fairy's voice suddenly, she opened her mouth and unconsciously wanted to say something, but not a single word came out, she closed her mouth and lowered her arm that was still outstretched, not only because she didn't know what to say,but because the Fairy was no longer to be seen anywhere.
Faced with this situation, Har's mind asked a lot of questions about what happened, why did the fairy crack and disappear as if she had died? Do all fairies have a similar appearance under the shine? Will something similar always happen? to use a fairy on someone else's body? Also, where do the fairies go after using them outside the game world?
In the video game, the fairies disappear after using their power and go somewhere, it is not known exactly where, but it would be normal for them to return to one of the sources of the great fairies scattered throughout the world, but this It is not the game world and there is no programming like that, when they are used here, where do they go?
It's impossible for Har to answer this, but there's something else that puzzled him a lot, aside from the fact that the fairy spoke to him, what did he mean by those words? Also, he seemed very sad for some reason.
'That is-!!'
A small link of thoughts was enough to reach a conclusion, something was wrong with the fairy's task, Har reacted immediately and his eyes finally focused on reality again.
"..."
Seeing how Har returned after getting lost for a few seconds in his thoughts, the little Rayah next to him approached with a complicated expression, he also had many questions, but his introverted personality prevented him from asking questions.
He was amazed by the thing he saw in the hands of this stranger, he looked like a magical insect out of a fantasy story, he immediately had the incredible idea that this stranger is a magician.
Even though he hasn't awakened his mana core yet and his sister never developed his own magic even after awakening, he is familiar with this supernatural power thanks to stories and tales told to him by his sister. him all the time.
He dreamed of training his magic after awakening his mana core, becoming a powerful magician like the protagonists of those stories his sister told him, all to give her a better life, he didn't expect that, even before he could awaken his core and start his path as a magician, his sister would lose her life, with this, not only his illusions lost meaning, but even his purpose in life and his motivation disappeared.
Now, seeing a magical scene for the first time, Rayah seemed to regain a little gleam in his eyes, a trace of a child's illusion rising again within him, like the flame of passion to become a magician that had been extinguished by a great tide of violent water, that flame had been eclipsed by the enormous tsunami that the death of his sister represented for him, as if the whole sea came together in a single wave to put out a bonfire, but now, that flame has reborn from the ashes
Despite this, the motivation was long gone, no matter if a small flame flares up again, if there is no wood to feed the small flame, sooner or later it will quietly go out, returning everything to darkness.
With all this, Rayah began to feel respect for this stranger unknowingly, he couldn't say a word in front of this young stranger, so he followed his gaze, squatted down and looked inside the coffin.
From the beginning, some members of other families saw him alone and came to comfort him a little, it's heartbreaking to see such a little boy with such a devastating expression, these people told him that he couldn't look into the coffin many times, as if they were afraid the child would be traumatized for life if he did.
They did this trying to prevent Rayah from seeing the charred corpse of a loved one, they don't know, but this little boy had already seen his sister's tragic situation outside the royal castle at that time, and indeed, he seemed to have been overwhelmed by the feelings and thoughts you experienced at that time.
Fortunately, Rayah kept trying to convince himself that everything was false, a nightmare, it seemed unreal to him that this was his sister, she with a kind demeanor who always smiled, she who hugged him every night while telling him stories until he slept, always I saw her with a bright light around her, she was like an angel, no matter how dark and sad the place was, together with her sister, everything was happiness, but now...
With his vacant gaze, he simply began to fall into the abyss of pain and suffering, but he always held out the hope that his sister would return at any moment, so he patiently waited like a lifeless statue, until this moment. moment.
Curiosity won out over everything else, so Rayah followed Har and looked into the coffin without saying anything, and as soon as he did…
"...!!"
Rayah's eyes widened as if he saw something incredible, her vision of him clouded as his eyes filled with tears, he had been waiting for his sister, but he had her by his side the whole time. .
"Ra-Raquel…"
While a lot of questions went through Har's mind, he was suddenly taken out of his thoughts by Rayah's presence, there were no words to describe his expression when he saw the elf's face inside the coffin, it was simply impossible to tell if they were tears of tears or happiness.
But, although he hasn't confirmed it yet, Har has a bad premonition about this, not only because the elf hasn't woken up yet, but also because of the little fairy's last words, everything indicates that the regeneration spell does not have the effect of resurrection I wanted.
It's just that Rayah doesn't know about this yet, so when she sees her sister's body in perfect condition, either because it looks that way or because it's what she wishes from the depths of her heart, she thought that she was still alive and that he was just unconscious, in his mind, he kept repeating to himself that he just had to wait, at any moment, his sister will wake up and they will go home together, at any moment...
Rayah continues to cling to the thinnest thread of hope, but unfortunately, her sister's chest does not move, that is, she stopped breathing a long time ago, also, she has no pulse, her heartbeat stopped a couple of months ago. hours, but there is no expert at this time who can say this, even though it seems to be in perfect condition, in fact, Raquel has already died a long time ago.
It is fortunate that the power of the fairies has returned her body to moments before her death, so the expression of experiencing intense pain with which she died has already returned to normal.
After remembering a few things, Har understood that his intention failed, the little fairy's power could return the body to normal, yes, but he couldn't bring her back to life.
He had used the fairies as his last hope, but now that it turned out to be so, he has nothing to resurrect these innocent people.
It was to be expected, fairies heal you instantly when your Hp drops to zero, it seems that this resurrection effect can only be used on someone who has just died, if a fairy is used on someone who died a while ago, even though His body can be regenerated, it should be just an empty shell with no soul.
'I can not do anything else..'
