For the next few days, I studied the art of controlling Spiritual Power with Miyue. With her guidance, I realized it was indeed very similar to the Wind Riding Technique, even simpler. 💔♤ 🍩♗

Both involve understanding and experiencing with the heart, combined with some ancient secret methods to deepen the impression. In addition to using the brain to memorize, the body must also firmly remember this feeling, imprinting it into every cell of the body.

Karma rarely came to participate, and I knew she was somewhat dissatisfied with me. At first, she didn't hide her feelings at all, but later she closed herself off to me.

But I don't care. That's how people should be. What's the point of freely communicating with each other?

As long as everyone works towards the same goal, everyone can choose their own methods.

Miyue never closed herself off, and I could easily sense her inner thoughts. Whether she admired me or was dissatisfied with me, she reflected it all truthfully to me.

Thanks to this, I grasped her teachings very quickly, because I could see where things went wrong through her thinking.

We sit facing each other like looking in a mirror, but it is our minds that are looking in a mirror.

After about half a month of this meditation, I was finally able to use Spiritual Power more skillfully and had a basic understanding of this power.

Spiritual Power can be imagined as the spirit of all things. Wherever life exists, there is Spiritual Power, especially in places like Ionia where primordial energy is abundant, the Spiritual Power is extremely powerful.

There are many ways to use Spiritual Power. For example, Karma is good at healing and formations, Hecarim is good at perception and prediction, Syndra is good at combat and enhancement, Miyue is good at manipulation and growth.

The reason she wasn't killed by Syndra before was because she saved herself with the power of growth. I learned from Miyue, and since I'm good at controlling Wind Force, I'm also quite skilled at manipulating Spiritual Power.

It is important to note that Spiritual Power should not be used indiscriminately, otherwise it will disrupt the natural balance. The spirit of all things is not created out of thin air, but is accumulated by all things in the cycle of birth and death.

Furthermore, the communication between the Harbinger is also accomplished through Spiritual Power, including dialogue. The greater the distance, the greater the energy consumption, which is why they usually don't communicate. It seems I misunderstood Karma before.

In short, this is a very sacred realm, and I have just entered it, approaching it with the utmost reverence.

Seeing how quickly I mastered it, Miyue was very pleased. At the same time, she closed off her heart to avoid consuming her Spiritual Power.

However, in the instant she shut down, I sensed the unease in her heart, an unease stemming from the impact of Syndra.

I thought you wouldn't close your heart.

"What are you thinking? Doing that will consume your Spiritual Power. Do you think I have some secret? I'm not like you."

"Don't hide it anymore. I see Syndra's shadow in your heart. You still can't let her go, can you?"

"What an annoying, lecherous old man. He keeps his own heart closed off, yet he casually pries into others' lives."

"If you don't mind, tell me your story. I love listening to stories."

"Since I've been keeping it all inside and no one's talking to me, why don't you listen to me?" Miyue was quite honest; I thought she wouldn't speak so easily.

It turns out that their friendship didn't begin after they became Harbinger, but rather they had been friends since childhood.

Miyue and Syndra are far apart, one in the south and the other in the north, but they both once lived in a forest in northern Prexian.

Miyue was a native of Prexian, born into a shepherd family. She loved magic from a young age, and her parents were very supportive, hiring many magic Teacher for her.

With her unique talent and the support of her family, Miyue has achieved remarkable success at a young age. She can use her magic to make the crops in the village grow stronger, ensuring a good harvest regardless of drought or flood.

This reputation quickly spread to other villages, and elders from all over came to ask Miyue to help take care of the fields, offering her parents good compensation.

Miyue was very happy to accept the job, as she felt it was a recognition of her and a source of pride for her parents.

But she was still a child, and her abilities were limited. She would get especially tired during the crop growing season.

Years of hard work have made her thinner and smaller than other children, but she never refuses people's requests for help. Whenever she sees the joy of people's harvest, she feels that it is all worthwhile.

Finally, when she was ten years old, Miyue collapsed from exhaustion due to the continuous torrential rain. Even gathering magic power caused her unbearable headaches.

Her parents stopped letting her go out to help out and wanted her to stay home and recuperate. However, several months passed, and her condition showed no signs of recovery; in fact, it seemed to be getting worse.

Later, Miyue's parents found a highly respected doctor, whose words plunged them into deep despair. He said that Miyue had at most two years to live, as her life force had been severely depleted.

Ten-year-old Miyue is not afraid of death, or rather, she does not yet understand death, but seeing her parents' grief-stricken appearance, she still feels a strong will to live.

She stopped staying in bed and worked hard to improve her physical condition, showing her parents that she was gradually recovering. But this couldn't fool them; parents know their children best.

One day, Miyue suddenly wanted to travel. Since she could remember, she had been helping others and had never enjoyed the childhood fun that a child should have.

Although this might worsen her condition, her parents agreed without hesitation, wanting Miyue to spend the last part of her life happily.

It was during this journey that Miyue met Syndra. Apart from their extraordinary magical talents, their lives were almost completely opposite.

Syndra hated magic from a young age, not because she was born that way, but because everyone in the place where she was born hated magic, including her parents.

Because the area was once ravaged by Dark Magic, people there harbor prejudice against magic, much like in Demacia in the past.

When Syndra's magical talent was revealed, she was naturally ostracized. Her parents thought she was a disgrace and wouldn't even let her leave the house.

Over time, Syndra gradually became withdrawn and depressed. As her negative emotions accumulated, she eventually lost control.

She wanted to break free from her cage and pursue freedom like other children, so she burned down her house and fled the village. At this time, Syndra was only eight years old.

Having had little contact with the outside world since childhood, Syndra had no idea how to communicate with others, so she simply stayed in the mountains and forests to be with nature.

She often plays with small animals, learning from them how to find wild fruits and how to make their homes in trees...

Of course, she would also have to deal with some big guys, but she wasn't afraid because she had magic and could teach them a lesson.

Two years passed, and when Syndra and Miyue met, she had become the Queen of the Forest.
