Pneuma 26: Raishin Torai II
I am wandering aimlessly. The woman in my dream has captivated my heart, and I’m determined to find her. But how can I find her if I don’t know her face or name? Who is she, and when will I meet her?
I have met almost every woman in the elven village. There was an elf with deep blue eyes. Her voice was clear and beautiful like a spring and wow she could sing! She would have made a wonderful girlfriend but… She is not the one I’m looking for.
Agnis and Greg seemed to be shocked that I rejected her. How am I supposed to tell them that I might be chasing after a ghost? They always have serious problems and here I am…
Another elf. She had beautiful black hair; her water magic was a beauty to behold. She was an amazing kisser. But again, she wasn’t the one in my dreams. The woman in my dreams had a good compatibility combat with Greg, this one doesn’t…
I can’t just like her, she must also fit in with Agnis and Greg. I am not going to leave my buddies behind to be with a random chick, so that is very important. Not only that, but I am a bit envious of Greg. He has Elliana and she fits in quite well.
I had gotten interested in Elliana’s sister, but that died quite fast. She doesn’t fit in with us at all, it will be strange to date Elliana’s sister and on top of that… Elliana dislikes her.
I had sneaked out of the village and visited a village nearby because maybe the girl for me isn’t an elf. I had found a tempting woman. Not only that, but I was sold! She must have been the one. But… I wasn’t the only one she tempted. She fed off the attention of other men and swiftly forgot about me.
Do I give up? Does she even exist? Where can I find her?
I was laying on my back on the big leaf next to my house.
You seem depressed. What’s up?
Will you promise to not laugh?
I will do my best.
I think the chick in my dream is real and I’m trying to find her but I have no luck.
Agnis sat down next to me.
Normally I would advise to focus on other things but I know that this is important to you.
I just feel a bit guilty. You and Greg are doing important things and I’m just chasing skirts as usual.
Right. I might have never told you this but what you’re doing might be more important than what Greg and I are doing.
Why is that?
Think about it. Our races are nearing extinction. It is cool that we are helping out other races, but what is more important? Their temporary problems? Or their quite permanent problem that rears its head if we all die out? So, I think trying to keep our races going is more important than anything else.
But it doesn’t feel like it!
Well, I guess it’s just a culture difference, we grew up between humans for the most part. Their race is numerous, so there isn’t a reason for them to act like you do. While my auntie Neia might get strange looks from humans if they knew she has made children from different partners, I have great respect for what she did.
Yeah, your auntie is cool. I wish I could be like her.
And I think growing up between humans hasn’t affected you at all, it has affected me a bit and Greg the most. We might tell you that you are annoying or an idiot but keep pushing us to find a partner. I am afraid that if you don’t do that, the 3t and the 9t might actually go extinct.
Do you truly mean that?
Yes, I should start putting less importance on human values and more on mythical beast values, even though it might clash with my personality.
So, will you help me find my dream girl?
I will try my best. Can you tell me about your dream in detail? I will try to create illusions to match it.
I got up excited. I could finally see my dream girl! It didn’t take me long to realize that this wasn’t true. Agnis doesn’t know how she looks like. His illusions might give me a better experience. I tried to be as detailed as possible in telling my dream. He created some illusions and tuned it at my direction.
So, no face or name. The body shape seems alluring, as expected. Complimenting Greg in battle and acting as a sibling to me. You certainly are setting the bar high.
It is my dream, not me!
Well, I think your dream is correct, besides needing those traits we won’t have a random girl take you.
Yeah, thanks for that time almost a year ago.
You would do the same, but there is not much we can learn from this.
My dream always stops at a certain point. I wonder why. Do tailed beasts have some ability to see certain lengths of the future or something?
Hmm, you estimate your dream at 1 minute and 30 seconds, right?
Yeah...
Hmm, that matches the length of mine, you might be on to something. My other nightmare has the same duration. So, these dreams might be visions of the future then,
So she is real?!
My intuition told me that this was correct. I felt energized. If she is out there, I will find her.
My intuition tells me that she is real and this is a vision of the future. Thank you Agnis I feel better now. You guys do your less important stuff, I will focus and the truly important stuff and also find the perfect chick for you, if you get a dream about her tell me like I did tell you mine.
I went over and gave him a hug. Both of us are going through a lot. I will continue on working on myself. I have decided to go hunt some minor gods in the area. My intuition tells me that they are getting impatient. I can’t have them waste Agnis’ and Greg’s time. I will be enough to deal with them.
Agnis left, and I got my spear out of my room. I slapped my cheeks.
It is time to be serious, Raishin. They might be minor gods but they’re still gods, they will kick your ass if you’re careless.
I teleported out of the village. I don’t have the eyes of Agnis or the ability to feel it divine energy to locate these minor gods, but I have my intuition. Something told me to go to the Cnidaria hills, which I did.
I spotted a woman covered in mud. My intuition told me that she was dangerous and might be a minor goddess. The thought of her being the perfect chick crossed my mind, but this thought died as she sounded like an old woman. I got my [Dynamo Clouds] out and went 6t mode.
