I furrowed my eyebrows on this floating orb. Well, actually, it doesn't even have the shape of an orb and more resembled on a football rather than a spherical orb that you normally see. Its glowing blue so I wondered if this was a dream or something else.
"Hey, you alright? Does your mind still in shambles?" the blue light asked. I shook my head and rubbed my eyes before staring at this floating object again.
"Wait, wait, let me process this. The information is too much for me to intake. You see, I just started to comprehend and accept the existence of magicians and now, I am talking to a floating object in unknown origin that I have no idea what it really was," I shook my head and gave it another look.
The blue light chuckled. Its quite creepy talking to something like this you know.
"Haha, this is our first meeting so its very natural for you to get bewildered and stunned at the moment. But still, it was too early for you to access this place. You barely awakened your mana and I can say that the amount you have is so tiny that I can compare it to a droplet of water," the blue light circled around me and I think I saw it nod though I think I was just imagining it.
"Mmm, yeah, I am indeed right, you are definitely weak!"
My eyebrows twitched and I felt a vein popped out of my forehead and I thought it was about to burst. But heck, don't even tell it straight to my face! Its not like I have already practiced for many years!
"But since you are already here, then I don't mind you to get benefits from me!" it cheerfully spin around me.
"Wait...before that, I wanna ask something..." I looked at it curiously.
"Sure! Ask away!" the seed joyfully said.
"What the heck are you actually? I mean you are talking and flying but I don't see you have a mouth or a pair of wings to fly. What on Earth are you?" I asked. I have been racking my brains out for answers on what the heck this item is really but I can't even think of anything much. I even thought that this guy is actually the Holy Grail but from what I can remember, it looks like a chalice of condensed mana right? (1)
"You don't know? I am the great Crystal Seed!" the blue oval light proudly said as it hover above me for showing off.
"...So?" I raised an eyebrow.
"What? You still don't recognize this great me?!" the self-proclaimed great crystal seed was flabbergasted.
"No idea. This is the first time I heard about you," I said truthfully. I never heard of the term "crystal seed" ever since I became a magician so I am not aware of it at all.
"Ugh, so the humans have forgotten about me already?! Seriously?!" the seed seemed to be really disappointed and sad. And if this thing ever had a face and a hand, then I would be sure to see a facepalming seed.
"I really have no idea what you are really. But since we are here, then tell me about you then and how the heck did I end up in here," I said.
"Oh, I did not think of that! That would work!" the seed happily exclaimed.
"..." Me.
"Anyway, once again, I am the Crystal seed. I was the remnant of the previous Mana Tree in this dimension, lying dormant until the next person to awaken me will stumble here. And in this case, that would be you. And since you stumbled in here, your consciousness and this place are now connected."

"What? Connected? Like a sort of expansion?" I tried to confirm it.
"Mmm, something like that. And since your consciousness and this realm is already connected, you can access now the Mana Tree is for you to access."
My ears perked up hearing it.
"Wait, did you just say Mana Tree? What is this Mana Tree?"
"The humans sure have forgotten about me huh, well, I don't care since someone else should spread around my existence. You are now the new host of the Mana Tree so it is for your arsenal now," the seed explained.
"Wait, wait, wait! I never agreed to be the host! When did you decided that I would be the host of this dubious tree of unknown origin?! And explain this Mana Tree you are talking about! I am lost here!" I frowned.
"Ooh, ooh, sorry about that! Well then, let me explain! The Mana Tree is a legendary plant that is only the second of the first holy tree, the Yggdrasil(2). The Mana Tree is able to produce unlimited mana for the host to use. According to the legends, the humans who owned them are able to continuously use Magic without depleting their mana at all. The Mana Tree, as implied on its name is the embodiment symbol of mana. Any person who gain the acceptance of the tree would be able
regain mana in a fixed rate, resting or not resting, in battle or under siege, the effects will continue. In simple terms, its unlimited mana!" the crystal seed explained.
"Unlimited?!" I exclaimed. Unlimited mana is something that every magician wanted to have due to the physical and mental limit a human body has.
"You might be the new host of that tree but since you are weak, the effect is also weak, you can barely feel any difference. So if you agreed, the abilities will also suck too," the Crystal Seed said to me.
My eyebrows twitched again. This seed is very wrath inducing item and any minute, I might squash this item to pieces. But then, something hit me.
"Wait, you keep directing the Mana Tree in an indirect call instead of saying "I". Aren't you and the Mana Tree the same? You said earlier that you came from the previous Mana Tree, so that means you are the seed of the Mana Tree itself."
This time, the seed seems agitated that it flew around like it was enraged.
"What!? Why did you think I am the Mana Tree itself?" the crystal seed exclaimed.
"Aren't you?"
"No! The heck! I am not a tree! I am a spirit! I am not a tree seed although I occupy the form of a seed but hey! I am not the seed of the Mana Tree!" the Crystal seed protested.
"The what the heck are you for the Mana Tree then?"
"Although I am a seed at the moment, I don't grow into any species of plant! I am the caretaker of the tree itself!"
"..." and with that, I lost the motivation to ask another question after hearing a nonsensical answer.
