500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"Why are you so interested in bothering those two guards? They are very good people, you know?" Mishal asked as we continued to walk away from Northwall.

"I don't do it to be mean; I just think the girls could use some entertainment. I promised Senna that I would treat them both to whatever they wanted after. I have heard that they are very hard and diligent workers. People like that deserve to be recognized, and a bit of teasing is all in good fun," I explained, and Mishal nodded.

"Well, if that is the case, then I think it is nice of you. If you are doing this out of kindness, then I am sure that the girls will appreciate knowing that you took the time to do such a thing," Mishal smiled.

"Yeah, but I think that Senna is going to make sure that I am the one that is the but of this joke," I sighed and then looked out at the land ahead of us. "That is a lot of water. Do you plan on sailing to Bramma?" I asked curiously.

The landscape ahead of me was covered in pools of water with reeds and snaking runs of green land dividing them. The place looked like it was solid marshlands, but using the runes in my eyes, I looked forward and saw that it was on like this for fifty miles or so.

"No. We just need to get far enough from the city. The commune with Lagoona tends to be violent, so it is better to do it overwater," Mishal explained as she started to veer off the path, and I nodded.

"Sure. I really won't know much about your magic until you use it. Since you said commune, that must mean you have to do something to use the magic?" I asked, but Mishal shook her head.

"The Goddess only wishes that we ask permission to use the power. Controlling a storm is no easy task, and it is dangerous to do something in a populated area. Lagoona just likes to make sure that she does not get in trouble with the island's Goddess, Tallia," Mishal said as we approached the water that ran along the path we had been walking on.

I watched curiously, and to my surprise, she walked right onto the surface of the water. Then she began to skate across the water like it was ice, picking up speed as the water barely made ripples. I looked down at Mishal's feet, changing my view again so I could see the flow of Mana.

Mishal was using water magic not only to hold her on top of the water but also to help push her along. On top of that, she was doing this innately without thought. I could do something similar, but it would take a great amount of concentration, and not innately.

"Is this part of Lagoona's Blessing? I mean, you're sliding on top of the water like this?" I asked, and Mishal nodded as she continued forward.

"Yes, among other things. It is a very versatile magic, and I am still learning all of its capabilities," Mishal said.

"I see," I said, looking around at the different pools of water. There were all sorts of different sizes and depths. "So, how deep does this water go?"

"It depends. Some areas are only a few feet deep, while others are over a hundred feet," Mishal said.

"And you can just skate across all of them?" I asked, and Mishal nodded.

"Yes, as long as there is enough water. I have gone across areas that were only a foot deep, but it is very tiring. Going across an area like this is much easier," Mishal said.

"I see," I said, looking around. I then noticed that Mishal was heading towards a particular pool of water. "Is that our destination?"

"Yes," Mishal said as she came to a stop at the edge of the pool.

The pool was rather large, and it looked to be at least twenty feet deep. Mishal then sat down at the edge of the pool.

"What are you doing?" I asked, and Mishal looked up at me.

"I am going to commune with Lagoona," Mishal said.

"With me in your arms? I don't know if you noticed, but I am a cat. If you are going for a dip, maybe you should just put me down?" I asked, but Mishal shook her head.

"No, I need to be able to focus, and you will be safer with me," Mishal said.

"I see," I said, not wanting to argue.

I then watched as Mishal took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She then started to chant something in a language I did not understand. As she chanted, I could feel the Pure Magic in the area start to swirl around us.

The wind picked up, and the water in the pool started to ripple. Then, all of a sudden, a large waterspout shot up out of the pool. It was at least thirty feet tall, and it was spinning rapidly.

Mishal continued to chant, and the waterspout started to move. It then began to circle us, and I could feel the Mana being pulled from me. I tried to resist, but it was too strong.

The waterspout then started to spin faster, and the wind was whipping my fur around. I could feel more of my Mana being drawn out of me, so I started to pull in more from the area around us. This seemed to feed the waterspout, and it grew in size. I wasn't sure what this was, but it seemed that Mishal was summoning Lagoona, and she was drawing in all the magic to form a body.

After a few minutes, the waterspout had grown to be over sixty feet tall, and it was still spinning. I could feel my Mana being drawn out at an alarming rate, so I pulled in more and more. I was starting to get worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but I didn't want to stop.
