Reason? I see where you're coming from, to you who has been able to use mana in your life since birth it might be the same as the sun and stars to you. Mystical but at the same time normal.
But to me it's different~ Mana only existed in fiction from where I'm from, it was nothing but an imaginative concept~ To me, it's a thrilling discovery, a heart-pounding new experience! It's like when those inland see the sea for the first time, or those that lived in caves see the sky for the first time. Those that have experienced something from the start probably won't understand the awe felt from those that have never even grasped the concept of something yet~
If you want a reason from me then it can only be to satisfy my burning curiosity!
Oh? It seems like there was some misunderstanding among us.
While I have been aware of the existence of magic since my early childhood, it is certainly not something I have been able to manipulate for that long, the goddess doesn't give her blessings to those unworthy or that do not align with her principles. It took me years at her temple to first start casting my simpler spells.
Even if I cannot understand what it feels to see what was once fiction become reality, I can certainly understand the feeling of seeing something that is seemingly unreachable now on the palm of your hands... And to that, I only thank the goddess, for she was the one that gave the gift that allows me to help people with magic.
But I suppose curiosity is not a sin by itself, for as long as you remember to not hazard your own safety for its sake that is.
I've always wondered, but what is that for?
It's a catalyst. By itself it serves no real purpose, but when executing a ritual, it serves as a focal point for my thoughts, and for the goddess' mana to flow through.
Even if you were to watch me dance, you'd probably notice nothing remarkable on the branch itself, but it's an important tool nonetheless.
That's such a noble goal! I wish I could support you, but I don't really have moneh either!
You do not need to worry too much about it, for I only wish to spread the goddess' teachings to those that might be willing to hear them. Even without a temple, I'm sure I'll have the opportunity in due time.
For now, I'll keep following her teachings to the best of my capabilities though.
Actually I felt a little bad reading so many of these because I ran away from home on my own... yet so many people seem to have come here because they had no choice...
...I wonder if my mom misses me?
I am sorry to say it, but I hardly believe any parent would not be distressed if their child was to one day disappear... Alas, what you will do with that information is up to your own judgment.
