Mana Monologue
Actually, let me tell you of how Jazz is odd. You see, Jazz could see more than he should’ve. He saw the glow of mana, but he didn’t know that till he was 13. Now that’s a good story. How he found out, but I’m getting distracted. Jazz could see mana.
Mana is not simply a collection of atoms. It is alive. It feels, it thinks, it sees. Now mana is often confused with Nature. It is the collective force of the world. Now mana is not normally seen, so when it is seen by a creature, it becomes scared. It runs. So when this boy Jazz, who could see mana, but has had little contact with it touches the testing construct that is created with mana, something is bound to happen...

I don’t want him out here while that thing is. I come out of the spirit tree, and I see it. A Shadow Dragon. Hunters of the Dragons. They hunt all manner of creature, but they focus on things that will be able to overwhelm them in the future. This one is far older than any I’ve seen before.
As soon as I see it I attack, no use waiting, and I might be able to get help from the mage. I rush right under his chest and plunge my claws into his armored body. The dragon roars in anger and strikes back, missing by a hair. I dash from under him, and onto his back, clawing him as I go. The mage appears suddenly at the edge of the trees. As I looked over to see the mage casting a spell against the dragon, it surprises me. It used mana to speed up. Dragons shouldn’t be able to do that. I guess since I met Jazz everything impossible just happens....
Anyway, the dragon strikes me with its right claw, slamming me against the spirit tree. It shatters. That shouldn’t be possible. Spirit wood can't be broken without extreme preparation. A full grown tree should be nigh impenetrable. Well, that's another thing to add to the
