Dave- "I'm assuming that we are trying to become a roaming dungeon
Rhi- "yes why do y..."
Rhi- "oh you got a warning then, don't worry about those they mostly just inform you of decisions that are out of the norm"
Dave- "how did you know I saw boxes?"
Rhi- "oh everybody sees them, wait have you not seen your status yet?"
Dave- "Status?"
as the blue box sprang into being, the whole quarter of a wagon that I now was, shook in what can only be described as a jumpscare
Spoiler: Status
Dave- "JESUS"
Rhi- "hahaha works every time"
Dave- "you've done this before?"
Rhi- "Nah but I've head stories about the summoned ones before"
Dave- "..."
Rhi- "don't give me that look, it was just a joke alright"
Dave- "fine"
Rhi- "anyways. anything good on there"
Dave- "might be I don't exactly know what I'm looking for
Rhi- "well try this"
Rhi- "top part looks normal, bonds pffft hahaha
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Dave- "what's wrong with my bonds?"
Rhi- "nothing, I guess you really think of me as your wife now, don't ya"
Dave- "no comments"
Rhi- "now let see those affi......"
Dave- "Rhi?, Rhi?... RHIANNON
Rhi- "EEP, whaaaat"
Dave- "you're spacing out
Rhi- "sorry it's just, wow"
Dave- "good wow or bad wow"
Rhi- "definitely good wow"
Dave- "how so?
Rhi- "well a normal dungeon core only gets one or 2 major affinities, and rarely do any of have one of tier 3 or over and if they do they won't be strong in them?"
Dave- "and I have 3 of them"
Rhi- "and you have 3 of them, 2 of which you have a high affinity towards
Dave- "well how did it get there?"
Rhi- "well let's take it from the top, you gem looks like a mix of sapphire, that pretty normal, and emerald, now that is rare but not unheard of. sapphire would give you the water affinity but most likely at low, emerald would give you nature which would, In turn, give you the prime 6, you know fire, air, earth, water, light and darkness".
Dave- "but I don't have darkness"
Rhi- "that's probably because you're afraid of the dark!"
Dave- "seriously"
Rhi- "seriously, personality and knowledge matters a great deal when it comes to magic, of course, it better to have a strong base before adding knowledge, but it's not critical"
Dave- "so since I was in construction in my previous life, I get a boast to certain elements and probably also where I get metal from".
Rhi- "you build things out of metals, that is so cool"
Dave- "practically everything in my world is built with metal".
Rhi- "wooah, I've heard other worlders came from different worlds but that just seems ridiculous"
Dave- "it kind of is"
for a brief moment, there is silence between us as I think back on my previous life.
Dave- "so gravity and space?"
Rhi- "yes right, not a clue
Dave- "really?"
Rhi- "yes really, I've never heard of a dungeon core as young as you with those 2 affinities, though it probably has something to do with you hanging about up there over the crater.
Dave- "could it be the 'reincarnation gift' i've read stories about?"
Rhi- "probably, but those are usually given to heroes summon for some gods purpose.
Dave- "you don't think I'm a hero?" I ask slightly hurt
Rhi- "a hero whos afraid of the darkness, that would be the day"
Dave- "..."
Rhi- "don't be like that, look why don't we just try and restore this wagon here, then we can worry about the small stuff
Dave- "sigh, alright how do we do that"
Rhi- "try to open up your status and focus on 'Creatures to Summon' and my 'Bond' with you.
Dave- "alright"
Spoiler: Bonds
Dave- "guess I don't have to ask how old you are"
the look I get from Rhiannon is enough to make this little gem sweat
Dave- "so, so how do, do I summon one of these birds"
Rhi- "you know, it would be bad for your health if you joke about a woman's age" while saying this she just glares at my gem
Dave- "I'm very sorry about that"
Rhi- "sigh, alright I'll forgive you this one time. Now, you got birds from my bond, it's not bad, the raven is smart so we can use those to rebuild our wagon"
Rhi places her tiny hand onto my crystal
Rhi- "now anytime you need to summon a creature, I have to touch your crystal, then you just think of the creature you want to summon and send mana through me,
Dave- "and how do I do that"
Rhi- "just feel for a glow inside you and gently push a bit through me
I try to feel inside me and there is a warmth, but there is also what feels like a vast room in there, a question for later I try to grab a sliver of the warmth a push it through Rhi's little hand. she glows for a moment with an expression of pure ecstasy on her face and then the light pours out of her and congeals into a raven several sizes larger than Rhi and myself. I look at it nervously as I suddenly feel very mortal
Dave- "um, Rhi what do I do now"
Rhi- "give me a minute," she says very out of breath with a goofy grin on her face, note to self, this is sex now... yup
