Chapter 3

  "Can I pick it up? No, No Better not. I don't want to destroy my mushroom. Look Look is that another mushroom popping up. Come on little mushroom I need you to grow nice and big so I have more little blue specks to play with."

  Ceselee watches her little mushroom grow all the while collecting as many blue specks as she can.

  "I really need to start on my quest but you mushrooms are so fascinating." She told the mushrooms, "I need to give you names, what should I call you. I will call you Spot and you what should I call you."

  She pauses for a minute contemplating.

  "Blanche. Yes, Blanche, those are good names. Perhaps, I should talk to you while I try to manipulate my tiny cave. So what to do what to do. How to shape walls and give order to my chaos so that I can be a proper Dungeon. Blanche, what do you think of me doing a visualization along with a wishing will to make the walls a certain way my stats say I have design. My mana points are almost full. This is as good a time as ever to try. I know that you're interested in me Blanche, you're watching me so let me explain I want a Box type room with a nice door where there seems to be an opening close to us. I don't want the wall s smooth but I want a rough hewn type texture. This is my first attempt so here it goes. "

  Ceselee does her visualization then will/wishes it into being. It partially works and she feels the exhaustion. She looks over and realizes making a room is going to take more than the mana she has.

  “Spot Blanche is judging me.” She giggles.” I couldn't form a whole room. I wonder if there are other ways to manipulate the stuff around me without using mana.”

  Quest Complete: You have successfully manipulated matter and yourself.

  Experience gained 50 points. Don't go spending it everywhere.

  Quest: Collect resources 1000 units total. Do you need an explanation? You know metals, plants, animals, dirt, rocks, Ect. Stuff that makes stuff or grows.

  “I have one mushroom but I didn't collect it was basically gifted to me.What if I place the dirt into my inventory willing it into a slot. It seems to be able to hold an infinite amount of stuff.”

  Ceselee looks around for an area that didn't completely turn out the way she wanted. The wall that she was now looking at had collapsed and not fully formed dirt, rock, and various other debris lined the bottom. Blink! She was sitting next to the wall. She stared at that wall for a long time. First she attempted to grab the dirt like she had hands. It failed. Then she imagined taking a bite out of the ground that failed. “ Blanche, I need suggestions. How do I take the ground and put it in my inventory? Your right Blanche I should start small so I should start with a rock, a tiny insignificant rock. Spot I can't believe I forgot that important aspect of the whole process and you brought it to my attention. How did I forget my wishing will."

  Two specks of mana just hovered over the little mushroom. She willed them toward herself. Then she began again. This time willing the rock into her inventory. It worked. Humming a little tune ,she sort of remembered. She began to work.

  "Look Spot and Blanche it didn't take any mana to gather all that. Nice oh wait a unit is a lot seems to be a cubic meter. I am so glad it separates everything it can. I already have, let's see. Silicon, a bit of iron, copper, calcium, something called decaying matter, sand stone, Quartz and a whole bunch of other stuff. This is going to take a long time."

  A map and update sudden flash into sight.

  *******

  Back in the town of Irondale.

  The adventurers guild was gathering a group together to investigate the fallen star. Of the thirty or so applicants applied only 11 were going.

  "Salena, you are going as the observer and tracker and Ranger. Your eyes always pick up the slightest clue. Jacob and Steve are tanks. Miles and Hester are doing range. Your Mages are Ian, Ivy, Ethan. Eve and Willow are their healers. Scott, you're their scout and runner. Once you're there at the location you come back with the map so we can set up a watch for the Dungeon if there is one. It might take you several months to find that needle in the haystack." Guild Leader Robert Silverhawk explained." Your supplies are inside, your pay for the next month is inside also the rest will be given after completing the task. Salena has a magic compass that should help guide to the mountain that it fell to. I say should because like any magical artifact that tracks higher concentrations of mana it can be lead astray by even higher concentrations meaning powerful beasts. Ian since you have been on an expedition before your in charge. Now get to it dont diliy daley."
