World Seed

Author’s Corner: The poll results are in, and it was a rather surprising result to me! You guys want a crafting bird, so a crafting bird you shall have!

Following the shopkeeper’s advice, I made my way to the hospital while talking with Yang. I knew I’d have to deal with Yin soon, or else she would get out of control, but first I needed to take care of my Xeno-Shifter class. “So, what do you want to do for your training?” I asked the winged demi beside me, who looked at me confused.

A moment later, after it was clear she didn’t understand, a little holographic Celeste appeared above Yang’s wrist, startling her. “What he means is… what do you want to do now? Do you want to learn how to fight? How to heal?”

Yang looked down in wonder at the tiny Celeste, thinking for a few seconds. “I… not want to fight. I want to help Master, but… not fight. It… feels wrong?”

This time, a larger Celeste appeared to me in my vision. “Looks like her pacifist nature has taken root too deeply, so asking her to fight is no good. That basically rules out half the choices. And.. since she just evolved, her intelligence wouldn’t be enough for complex tasks like stealth or accounting.”

“So… crafting or healing, then..?” I asked out loud, making Yang look up at me with a confused expression. It made sense, since she didn’t hear what Celeste had said to me.

“Right. The best choices for her would be either a priest or a craftsman. However… I think we should rule out priest training, for now at least.” When she sensed my confusion, she answered by bringing up a holographic display on Yang’s wrist that once again surprised her.
