They look at Lesser, all surprised. After the long silences, it was Lesser who spoke first.
"Why are you surprised?"
Asking Mary, the one that said, she could see their attributes.
Mary looked at him, with an awkward face.
"Yeah, about that. It's like a fog is blocking me from seeing your attributes."
Lee and Adam looked at each other, knowing that they needed to have a long talk. Now that they had been attacked twice, from stronger nightmare creatures that they shouldn't fight. Sitting down, still having their weapons out. Lee spoke with a series.
"Okay, we all had some information hidden, but now is not a good time to hide some stuff. I can begin."
Still speaking, now calmly.
"I have Four Attributes, one you guys know. [Call to Arms], but the other three, only I and Mary know. One is called [Mark of Divinity], it makes me have a divine scent."
He paused, tacking a bite from a fruit.
"The third is [Conduit] . It lets me store excess essence and share it with my allies."
Taking a second bite.
"And the last, [Unbroken], makes my weapons and armor hard to break. Meaning when my [Call of Arms] affects your guys, you count as me, Making it harder to break your armor and weapons. My flaw makes me take double the pain."
Looking at Mary.
"And that is why you push me, right?"
"Yes, if you had been hit, you would have stayed far longer on the ground."
"I see. It's funny that my flaw makes me feel pain. I was born without pain sensors."
Lee spoke with a happy face. Remembering what it felt like. Mary said happily. Adam's face froze, hearing that. Mary spoke next.
"Only three for me, one neet me see fates. The second gives me protection from physical, elemental, mind and soul. And fo–"
"Stalwart"
Mary looked at Lesser with a shock.
"Yeah, how?"
"One of my memories has a similar effect."
"Oh…"
Slowly turning away, Mary spoke in a nervous voice. Her face is wearing a creepy smile.
"And the last one let me share my soul with others, by giving my true name, some I don't have."
Sounding disappointed.
"I have a true name."
Turning to Lee. Adam looking at Lesser. Lesser coughing at Lee.
"What!"
"Yeah, not long. Light Sky."
Lee said, like nothing to it. Adam exhausts his breath. Lesser felt his mind pinging like crazy and happily. Adam said, tiredly.
"Three. One makes me good with all types of weapons, another makes me have double strength in my arms. and the third, makes me stronger the more i or my enemies bleed. My flaw makes it so I don't feel pain."
He said the last part was more irritating. They look at Lesser.
"Spill it, Les"
Lesser now awkward voice.
"I have four. Sharing one with Lee, [Mark of Divinity], and the others. [Unfated], make it so my fate is unseen. Next is [Scribe] and [Stinger], the latter makes me good with strings and seeing them, it changed after clearing my nightmare, and for the former. It lets me easily learn runes and use them."
Lesser was quiet, then it hit him. Like he forgot something.
"Mary, what was your flaw?"
Mary looked at him, like he was stupped. Speaking before releasing something.
"I already said my flaw… Wait, I forgot to say it."
Adam and Lee minds took a second to realise it.
"I forgot to say my flaw."
Mary said, now in a whisper.
They all turn to look around. Now that they realise that the nightmare trees had hidden their presents, and that they were everywhere. Mary began to see the difference between the nightmare creatures and normal ones, and saw a bigger tree than the rest of them. Her mind began to slowly disregard what she saw. She had only a time to point, before forgetting. Adam began to move, Spike in hand. Lee began to move, Lesser took his arm. Before Lee could talk, he felt something moving to him.
"It should be better than your spear."
Lee nods and runs after Adam, calling the memory Lesser had given to him. A Sword with a metal handle, but the blade is made from a blood colored pitch. Adam got to the tree first, piercing one.
[You have slain an Awakened Monster: Cursed Deroku Tree]
Adam turned and attacked the next tree, not thinking why he was attacking the trees. Lee cut a tree more easily than before.
"Call your flag!"
Lesser screamed. Lee understood fast and called it down beside himself, close to forgetting to. Mary had been the closest to it, for a long time, had her mind affected without her knowing. Lesser had wanted to make a fire, but had no survival knowness.
'Think, think faster.'
Mary began to slap out of her stupor, looking at Lesser. With a calm clarity said.
"Runes."
She then began to run at the trees. Deflecting one of the attacks coming for Lee, and striking the tree. Her weapon was made to fight monsters, making most of the trees perfect prey.
Lesser, after hearing what she said, was confused. 'What about the runes?', his body moved. Picking up a mostly flat branch, and began to carve. One rune was carved into it, flames.
