《Eidolon : Martial Familiar》 The First Prologue : Getting out of Boredom God The Creator : Alpha and Omega was sitting in a vast darkness his features can only determined as a blinding light and domineering but noble aura. How was it known that He was sitting? Simple He formed his body of blinding light into a humanoid decreasing the intensity of his light for his figure to be determined. Nobody knows how long God has been there and nobody knows since when has He been existing but one thing is certain He was alone. God has been alone since the beginning. For a million years he has stayed there unmoving His emotions undiscernable however due to an unknown reason God suddenly stood up and started to tantrum like a kid stomping his feet of light on what can be called as ground if there were grounds in that vast darkness. God : Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggh!~ He then calms down and mutters to himself. God : Im bored. Sitting here doing nothing is so boring! The unknown reason for this sudden change is revealed as God continues to talk to himself. God : What to do? What to do? Anybody there? Hello? Can anyone help me get out of this boredom pls?! He gets frantic and walks back on forth with His sense of time another million years have passed and finally He managed to think of an idea. He creates something and that something was sphere shape with a size of thrice the Earth''s Sun and plays with it. Did I not mention God''s size? Simple He was immeasurable but when He formed his humanoid body He made it the size of giant so much larger than Atlas who was believed to be carrying the Earth on his shoulders to the point that the sphere He created with a size thrice larger than the sun can be played just like a basketball ball. Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. He played with it for another million years. At first the sphere was only a ball of light with a pure white color then He tweaked it a bit adding a few colors however as God didnt have a concept of colors yet so He just played with it as the first colors He added were the known Primary Colors which are the Red, Green, Brown, Yellow and Blue. He kept on playing with adding a lot more colors eventually, He added the would be known as Secondary Colors which are the Violet and Gray, White and Black have been existent from the beginning, but as God only notice them now He added them as part of the Secondary Colors. For once the darkness was filled colors other than the white light that God himself produced. As God was playing like that another million years passed. A sudden flash of inspiration happened to him. He created separate spheres of each color in a smaller scale and edited them. God : Hmmm..What if I put jagged lines directing upwards to this red sphere? As He did so God saw that it was good and proceeded to the next spheres. God : This yellow sphere looks better elongated in a zigzag line, this green sphere seems better if I twist it upwards making the bottom part thinner then going upwards it became thicker, i should make it consisting of lines...there better..as for the rest..maybe later. This colors would later represent the elements and powers that make up the world. The Second Prologue : Creation Part I Author¡¯s Notes : This story can be a bit slow paced and fast paced depending on my mood to write. Also I am sorry if the chapters are short as I am still a newbie writer I am still looking up for ways to lengthen the chapters. The Second Prologue : Creation Part I As God have managed to shape each individual sphere to its different forms He was pleased at the same an idea came unto Him that not only should He change their forms but must also give them unique characteristics. The Red one he gave it a characteristic that would be known as something hot and warm, while the Blue one would be known for its characteristics of being cold and calm. He continued on until He finished giving them their characteristics. God : Im really good Haha! My works are almost done now what is left is what I should call these spheres, come to think of it what am I called? Since I am alone I guess I¡¯ll have to be the one to make what I will call myself. How about Gotu? No no no, seems a bit fishy. What about Narutoad? I get the feeling that is a bit gross. Hmmmmm Go, Go, Go¡­.Toad, Toad, D, D D. Oh! I know how about God? Yeah, sounds perfect! From now on I am God! As He decided what He would be called He also named the colors. He then proceeded naming the colored formations that used to be spheres God : Hmmmm I shall call this Red one as FIRE, the Blue one as WATER, the Green one as WIND, the Brown one as EARTH, the Yellow one as LIGHTNING. Since they are the first ones I added I shall call them Primary Colors, but it doesn¡¯t sound right. He pondered on and thought of a solution. God : I know! I shall call the colors as Primary Colors in their most basic form without having any characteristics! That does it! Im good right? Okay so, the problem now is what I¡¯d call the ones I shaped and gave characteristics unto. Hmmmmm how about ELEMENTS? They shall be called the PRIMARY ELEMENTS. God continued naming the secondary colors. God : I name this Gray one as TIME, this Violet one as VOID. Lastly the White one would be LIGHT and the Black one would be DARKNESS. These would be the SECONDARY ELEMENTS. God continued to tweak with them for a lot of years that cannot be counted then He remembered one thing He knew all along. If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. God was still alone. God : I may have created these so called ELEMENTS named by the Almighty me but still I am alone. What should I do? He tried to think of what He has done. He formed his body to a certain shape, then He created a Giant Sphere then added colors to it, noticing the different variety of colors He set the Giant one aside created smaller individual spheres filled with the different colors then formed to different shapes and gave them characteristics eventually naming them. In the process He also thought of a name for Himself. Just as He thought of the part where He named Himself. God felt a sudden bolt of inspiration as He thought that He named Himself as He was talking, so He thought that maybe the ELEMENTS He created must be able to talk too! He then decided to give them an Ego or a Personality. The Ego God gave the ELEMENTS was random as He was too excited to have someone to talk to. Fire : Hot and Warm. YEAH!!!!! Water : Cool yo. The Fire Element got a fiery personality while the Water element got a cool personality. It continued on until all the elements gained their personalities. God was now happy that He got someone to talk to. God : Okay guys, so you are the ELEMENTS and I am GOD, remember that. Now do you guys have an idea on how to liven up this place more? Btw, where is Darkness? Darkness : I am here God, just beside Light. God : Oh sorry I got your concept in this place so yeah maybe you blend in too much. Okay! Before we get sidetracked again, do you guys have any suggestions? Fire : Buuuuuuuuuuurn!!!! Wind : Woooosh! Woooosh! Water : Spreeeeee Earth : Rumble Rumble Lightning : Zap Zap Zap Time : Tick Tock, Tick Tock Light : ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Dark : ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Void : ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. God : Speak Clearly! Fire, Water , Earth, Wind, Lightning, Time : Sorry God! God : Seriously, I though only the Primary Elements are like that but even you Time? Anyway Lets ponder on it for now. They continued to converse and think of ideas for a very long time. Until Void noticed the Giant Sphere that God set aside. Void : God what is that giant sphere over there? God : Oh that? That was the first sphere I created it was where I got the idea to create you guys starting from your colors. Time : Yeah I notice that, that giant sphere contains colors of all of us here. God : Right. How about this since it contains colors from all of you, try to think of what to do with this Giant Sphere. The Elements started to gather around the giant sphere contemplating on what they should do with it. The Third Prologue : Creation Part II (Author Notes : I decided that conversations that does not need specified naming of an element will be named as Random Element with a # so as to not make any bias or favoritism on the Elements) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ELEMENTS kept on pondering what to do with the giant sphere, they repeatedly tried and tried to make something out of it. Each one giving suggestions only to end up in failure, it continued on for centuries. God on the other hand was only watching, as he slowly found it a habit watching the Elements do their thing. He decided to watch on and wait for them to come up with an idea. ¡°Hmmmmm¡­They seem to be trying something, does this mean they already have an idea?¡± Random Element #9 : What if we create something like place where we can go to within this sphere? Random Element #6 : Nice idea! But how will we enter? I mean we 9 can¡¯t enter all at the same time because this sphere maybe larger than us individually but with 9 of us combined it can no longer contain our current forms. Random Element #1 : That¡¯s it! In our current forms we cannot enter but if we change forms and change our sizes we can easily enter all at the same time! Remember God was able to change our forms to those He liked. Let¡¯s try asking Him to grant us the ability to change form ourselves. All Elements : Let¡¯s go! After a while they reached where God was watching them. Then they asked Him what they wanted to ask. Random Element #2 : God we have a question. God : Yes? What is it? Random Element #4 : As we were pondering something we came to an idea that we might have to enter the sphere itself though the problem was the sphere itself cannot contain all of us. Random Element #7 : We remembered that you were the one who formed us in the way that you liked so we would like to humbly ask that we may be given the ability to change our forms at will. Random Element #8 : That¡¯s how it is God and that is we all ask for this endeavor. Random Element #3 : Yeah. God : Yes, I can give you the ability to change forms by yourselves. By the way I am interested in this idea of yours good job on your progress. Random Element #5 : Thanks a lot God! Random Element #3 : Yeah. God gave them the ability to change and they immediately change their forms into something that resembles a humanoid like God himself. Then they again continued thinking on how they will make the sphere for them to enter into. God thought of something. ¡°Looks I will need to adjust the spheres size for them to be able to do more and enjoy more, if they are able to do more then I will also enjoy watching them do things. Okay so I¡¯ll make the sphere go bigger 5x than its present size.¡± The Elements noticed that the sphere got significantly bigger. As they noticed the changes EARTH was trying something. EARTH : Let¡¯s try making this sphere something like myself. And then he did so. The others took notice and tried to imitate it. They kept on trying but as they got tired of trying they concluded that what Earth did was the most compatible. They thought of what would be most compatible for them to do with the sphere. Fire and Void went into the center of the sphere then created another sphere within it but on a relatively smaller size just about 1/1000th of its size however that sphere was a ball of fire itself. Void decided to infuse gravity to it however as it is the first time the gravity was a bit strong (Probably 15x that of Earth in Real Life not on this story). The others above felt the pull but it was only felt to them like a paper or air pushing them down which is so insignificant that they ignored it. Water then decided to fill in parts above the land. He also went to underground however he did not want to touch the work of Fire and Void. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Wind just filled every gap not filled by the others above and underground. Earth was not contended on his first job so he decided to design a few land forms and there he created mountains, hills, valleys and other known land forms after giving some though he thought of collaborating with Fire to create the volcanoes as their combination created magma, volcanoes came to be. They stared at it. And felt it was good however there seems to be something missing. So they contemplated on what to add next, they also tried combining their powers and achieved a few results then now they again tried but now they worked faster. They only worked for 5 days and that was already so fast as they do not have the sense of time as they were immortal beings unaffected by time. On the first day Earth and Water worked together to form nature. They created trees and plant life. On the second day they all went back to God to talk to Him about creating 2 more spheres as they had an idea for it. God did as they told Him so 2 spheres were created, Earth and Fire remembering the result of their cooperation made a sphere of magma then Light gave it blessing that it will signify DAY. They then went to next sphere and Earth, Fire and Void did their part Earth created it to only be a sphere of earth , Fire and Void made its gravity very weak unlike what they did on the giant one as they placed it in the center of the sphere. Darkness did his job as he blessed it to signify NIGHT . They talked of what will be Light and Darkness so they decided it to be an indication of time as suggested by Time. The second passed and it is already the third day they asked God to create creatures of the land. Why was the land first? The elements thought of a game basically the same as Janken in their own sense and made the rules themselves. God created a lot of varieties as He was watching them do things He also thought of what to create and He thought of a lot. As the beings were created the elements bless them with their own elements which opened a new path to variety. The fourth day went the same just like with the third day where God created air and water creatures then the Elements bless them. The fifth day God created a lot of eggs as Time had thought of the idea of GROWTH and EVOLUTION and that was Time¡¯s blessing to the sphere. He gave the creatures time limit to their lives until they reached a certain point where they reached Immortality and age will no longer affect them. AGE is the most basic usage of Time¡¯s abilities. On the sixth day God decided to intervene as He had seen that the elements have done a great job and He also wanted to create something that He has thought of for a long time creating something that resembles Himself and what the elements have copied from Him a sort of humanoid creature and this creature will be above what has been created in other words it is a superior being, in what sense? We¡¯ll know when He does his job as the Progenitor. GOD : So this creation of mine will be a being far above the other creations, are there any complaints? THE ELEMENTS : There is none God! GOD : Good however His superiority is still undetermined as I want to make it random. So do any of you have suggestions for the name I¡¯m gonna give him? RANDOM ELEMENT #9 : How about Adam? RANDOM ELEMENT #3 : Yeah. GOD : I like it. So Adam will be his name then. Chapter One : The Explanation Within the sphere that God created there lays a kid with a body of a 5 year old however he had been made alive not long ago probably a few minutes had just passed. God was watching the kid then He blew His breath of Life on Him thereby giving him life and then He decided to make him be able to grow as time passes just like Time¡¯s blessing. He also made him able to evolve. God got the idea of evolution when He gave the elements the ability to change form and made a connection with their most basic form and realized that as they changed form, they improved so God thought of it as something good. So they implemented it on all the creatures. God then talked to the kid and told him what he needed to know but not everything. GOD : Hello Adam. Then He snapped his fingers, giving Adam the ability to speak, think, comprehend, understand and innovate. ADAM : Uhmm¡­Hi? Who is Adam? And who are you? GOD : I am God and you are Adam. ADAM : Is Adam what I am called? GOD : Yes that is your name. ADAM : Name? What is a name? GOD : Your name is what you are called and in your case, your name is Adam. ADAM : I understand. Uhmmm..can I ask? GOD : Yes, what is it Adam? ADAM : Where are you? How are you talking to me? GOD : I am right beside you, you just need to open your eyes. ADAM : Oh (He opens his eyes). God what am I? GOD : I still haven¡¯t decided on what you are, but you probably have something you to call yourself. ADAM : I don¡¯t have any ideas. Im sorry God. GOD : How about an AETHEREAL? ADAM : Okay so my name is Adam, I am an Aethereal. GOD : You understand well. It seems I gave you just the right abilities however right now comparing you to the other creatures I made; you are weaker in terms of power. So I will give you another set of abilities but before I give you that I will explain to you how this sphere works. ADAM : So you call this place a Sphere? GOD : Now that you mention it, I guess sphere is a bit not right. Got a suggestion Adam? ADAM : How about ¡°World¡±? GOD : Perfect! Good job Adam. ADAM : But that doesn¡¯t like a name God just something to generalize the spheres. GOD : Good! Good! You really are intelligent! I am impressed. ¡± As expected of my creation one who is born from me and is a part of me, I¡¯ll have to praise myself for being intelligent because Adam my creation HAHA!¡± GOD : So what name do you suggest for this World? ADAM : What do you think of the name ¡°AMARANTH¡±? GOD : It¡¯s good. I like it so this world will be called AMARANTH. We are straying off the things I should be telling you, before we get strayed more than what we need to, now I shall explain to you like I said you need more abilities to cope up. I will give you the ability ASSIMILATE this skill will make you be able to copy or learn anything you see, feel and experience however there is a limit as to what you can copy, yes it is possible to copy everything but not everything you copy can be perfectly executed by you it would also depend on your own level of ability, it can also be affected by your understanding of it. As an Aethereal you will be given a skill called IMMUNITY and absorb energy ten times than other creatures. And as I said awhile ago you already have abilities like EVOLUTION which makes you able to change as you reach a certain state or growth however the change will always make you better. You also have GOD¡¯S WISDOM and GOD¡¯S EYES. Yes GOD¡¯S WISDOM is the reason why you are intelligent and can comprehend easily while GOD¡¯S EYES give you vision to be able to follow anything whether slow or fast even during the night and also can help you identify things that you see, however since we just finished creating things yesterday not everything is named as we also let the creatures themselves do their own thing and make variations of their own. So any questions? ¡°You also have GOD¡¯S STRENGTH however right now you cannot use it, it will now depend on you whether you will be able to completely use it or not.¡± ADAM : God, what is IMMUNITY? GOD : IMMUNITY is a state where one is impervious to something. This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. ADAM : What am I immune to God? GOD : You¡¯ll know once you get the task I am giving you. ADAM : I understand, what is this task God? GOD : I will tell you once you are up to it, but for now I¡¯ll explain a few things. ADAM : Will the task be difficult? GOD : Pretty much so I expect that you will accept it and do your best to fulfill it. ¡°Everything is in chaos, and I want you to fix it. I can¡¯t tell you that I intended to fix things tomorrow on the seventh day however it seems it will be more fun like this. Give me a good show to watch Adam my creation. I¡¯ll tell the elements later of my plan and I know they will also like it.¡± ADAM : I will do my best God! GOD : Okay remember what I tell first thing you should remember since you are still just newborn and your body is still developing I will give you protection for now until I can determine that you can now protect your body then that¡¯s the only time I will lift my protection on you, understood? ADAM : Is this place dangerous? GOD : Yes, everything is in chaos, creatures are fighting each other some are fighting for territory some are just fighting for the fun of it, there are other fighting just because they want to feel superior and just wants to make the weak suffer however using the concept of weakness, you are at present the utter symbol of weakness as you are the weakest right now of all the creations, but do not worry that is only for now. Once you learn to use your abilities the might of a superior being, a creation that surpasses any other creation will be displayed. ADAM : I think I know now what God wants me to do, and I too think that this is interesting. GOD : As expected of you Adam. ¡°Ha! This is really getting interesting! Perfect!¡± GOD : Okay now I will explain to you the second thing you should remember, every place is infested with creatures however this creatures are different from you, as we have planned it to randomly designate life to them. Some creatures are sentient like you but is not the same as you for you are the only Aethereal while some are mindless ones that do not think and just follow instinct. You still following Adam? ADAM : Yes God. GOD : Good for the third thing, all creatures have their elements. ADAM : God what is an element? GOD : Oh I haven¡¯t told you how the World works, as I kept straying off the topic, anyways the world was created by Me and the Elements. The Elements are my first creations beings of Pure power, now what should I call this power? Let¡¯s just say that this power is called ESSENCE, they are different powers that are keeping the world intact and the ones that gave life to it, however the creatures are all My creations. The World works like this, I¡¯ll explain to you that the world works as a SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST where strength is what matters. There are nine elements as of present, and who knows you might just discover one, they are FIRE,WATER,EARTH,WIND,LIGHTNING they are the Primary Elements next are LIGHT,DARKNESS,VOID, and TIME and they are the Secondary Elements. Each creature will have its own element so there can be creatures of the same species but has different element and different species with the same element. ADAM : It¡¯s a bit complicated but I do understand it. By the way God what element do I have? GOD : What element do you have? I did not give you any element but I believe you will discover what your element is as you grow because I made you be able to align to any element and as you evolve you may even be granted the capacity to have all the elements. ADAM : Cool! Such a blessing thank you so much God. GOD : Oh its nothing, just stay safe and become strong. I have to go now but before I go here. (Snaps a finger) GOD : I have made you be unable to be felt by the other creatures for about a month but if you so wish to be engage in a fight you can just will yourself to be seen and felt but when engaged you cannot regain that state you will only be able that state again if you are no longer engaged in any conflict. ADAM : Thanks God! GOD : I¡¯ll be going now. ADAM : Bye God! ¡°So let¡¯s start! This will be interesting I wonder what kind of creatures I will meet. Only one way to find out and that¡¯s to go find them and meet them personally! I hope I will meet sentient ones perhaps I will learn a thing or two from them¡± Chapter Two : The Start Author¡¯s Notes : Been busy with student life a friend got hospitalized so had to visit and school chose me as representative to be interviewed for its accreditation however here is Chapter Two! Chapter One was finished quite awhile just didn¡¯t have time to put it on RR. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOD¡¯s POV ¡°The day is ending and we were supposed to fix everything tomorrow, but I changed the plan so they¡¯ll have to know because they too are part of my plan. So now I¡¯ll just have to go and gather the Elements and explain to them my plan now where are they? No matter I will just call out to them.¡± ELEMENTS! Come forth! One by the one the elements started to form in front of me as I stood there in the darkness waiting for them. ELEMENTS : Why have you called us God? I have called you here to discuss things that will happen. Tomorrow we will no longer be fixing the sphere ourselves and from this point on the sphere will be called World, and the name of this world will be AMARANTH. Are we clear? ELEMENTS : Yes God. But why won¡¯t we be fixing the world ourselves? Technically you will be helping but you will not do the work yourselves, I will explain that later. As for the reason about us no longer doing the job of fixing the world itself I gave it to my creation, Adam. I know that you all know that I wanted to have a creature of my own and that is why I asked for this day. I talked to him awhile ago for I made him sentient like you, don¡¯t worry I also made the other creatures sentient but not all and I did it randomly. So I gave him the task of fixing the world or rather putting things in place and maintain order. Your part is that you will be the ones to tell him about his mission as I want you to go and accompany him in his task. ELEMENTS : But how will we do that? And accordingly what would he do for technically we are the ones who created the world with your help so as the creators with just one flick of our hands the mission is done. And if we go inside the world won¡¯t we be leaving our current bodies? So who will maintain the world, as we do not want for God to do the entire job? No need to fret as I have thought out about this plan. Indeed you will be leaving bodies but you can leave a bit of yourself to your body as you go and make it so that it will maintain the world and just go possess a creatures body of your liking, however as you have said since you are the strongest beings out there aside from me, you will be reverted to the most basic and lowest form of the creature of your choice, but as you possess a creature you will gain its knowledge, the instincts it follows furthermore as you possess a creature its potential for growth will be limitless as you are the origin of elements, don¡¯t celebrate yet for your powers will be limited and you will only regain back your power as you grow and evolve like other creatures. Isn¡¯t it fun? Now as my creations entertain me by giving me something to look forward to! ELEMENTS : Yes God! One last thing you all will not be going directly to Adam but you will wait for him to find you and where you will hiding will depend on you if you want to stick together and let him find you all at the same its your choice but if you want to go separate ways and make him find you one by one is also your choice. As for your forms after you possess a creature you will reverted to the most basic form, which is an EGG. If you choose the second option I will place a blessing on you so that you won¡¯t be hatching until he finds you so as to make you grow alongside him and not without him. So now you should go and find a creature to your liking and possess it you have a month to do so for after a month my blessing on him will be gone and I will inform him of you, and give him a bit of help, as he will be able to sense where you are, no matter how far or near you are from, but don¡¯t worry as I will only let him sense your general location. Okay now go! ELEMENTS : Thank you God! See ya! ¡°Go and enjoy your own world my creations.¡± ELEMENTS¡¯ POV FIRE : God is really brilliant I love his ideas! LIGHTNING : I agree, not only I but we all do. VOID : So what¡¯s your plan guys? TIME : We have a month to do what God told us which is to find a creature to our liking and take its body as our own, since I am time itself, I can put a blessing on all of us for us not feel the time and just let a month pass as soon we possess a creatures body, we will be put into a state of sleep and will only wake up once Adam finds us. DARKNESS : Great idea. Any of you have anything to say about us keeping company for Adam? OTHER ELEMENTS : None. DARKNESS : I do. I say we call him master and obey his every command for I believe that God intended for Adam to lead us. LIGHT : I will have no complaints to your proposition, and firmly agree that what you said maybe the truth. WATER : Indeed. Anything more we need to talk about? EARTH : Except for us deciding if will be sticking together or not and our choice of creatures, none I guess? WIND : Let¡¯s decide by telling our chosen creatures, and pointing as to where we found it. We can all sense every creature here in this world so for now we will stay here and find our chosen creatures. ALL ELEMENTS : The search is on! After a while. LIGHTNING : Found mine! Over there! FIRE : Mine is over there. WATER : Look over there there¡¯s mine. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. One by one all the elements pointed to different directions and decided they¡¯ll split up. ELEMENTS : This is it. Till we meet again! Streaks of light with different colors flashed through the sky and arrived at different parts of the world. Each element possessing a creature then pillars of light rises up in to the sky lighting up the night, after the light disperses, from where it originated eggs could be seen lying there unmoving waiting for its master to find it. ADAM¡¯s POV ¡°So how should I do this? God told me I have a month to adapt to this environment and learn how to be strong in order to survive, but he did not tell me what to do. Guess I¡¯ll just figure it out on my own.¡± Having though of nothing, I decided that first thing I should do is to observe my environment, and its inhabitants. I kept walking trying to find any creature that I could find however I still could not find one, however I will not give up. I continued searching for God knows how long, when suddenly I tripped because of a protruding rock I did not see. At that point a realization came unto me, that I should have seen that rock effortlessly but wasn¡¯t able to do so, as the things I was looking was different from it, this lead me to a conclusion that maybe they are in places where I could not see them. Hiding should be the first thing they do and the reason why I hadn¡¯t seen any creature was because they were hidden. In my case I won¡¯t need to hide as of the moment for I have God¡¯s blessing as long as I do not will it that I be seen they will not be able to find me. I sat down contemplating on what to do in order for me to see them. I sat there for awhile then thought of trying to focus only on one thing, I tried to only focus on my sense of hearing, and miraculously I was able to hear better, I then tried it on my eyes and unexpectedly I could see through a long distance not only that I could also differentiate living from non-living as what has God has told, they also created non-living things such as trees, rocks and all considered as non-living but he also explained to me that everything has an essence so maybe the concept of living and non-living is a bit broad. Remembering Essence, another question popped in his mind. ¡°God said that I absorb energy ten times more than all the other creatures, but how? And where is this essence, how do I know if I am absorbing it? I don¡¯t see anything different. I guess I will just have to practicing focusing more. I¡¯m done with my eyes and ears, considering what God told me about my body, I still do not know how I look.¡± I stood up and tried to find water as it will help me see what I really looked like. Upon arriving on a lake I stood beside the water and looked down. As I looked down I was mesmerized with how I looked. I was a bit small with slender but a bit toned arms and legs, a body that is well toned, pale white skin and pure white hair, that is a bit spiky but not messy (For a better Imagination think of Killua from Hunter X Hunter, as a 5yr old kid) and I was naked. So I decided to just stay there and do my concentration training. At first I had a hard time finding the best position for me to concentrate, then when I sat cross-legged, arms at rest on his legs, I found peace and was able to drift into a state I just discovered. A state like being asleep yet is awake, I tried to do things but he could not move so he decided to just dive a bit into that state and saw the inside of my own body, I tried to figure out things and what is the best thing to do. I entered into where in the future would be called as being one with nature, a state where one clears his mind and is able to feel everything around him, this is the discovery of Meditation. I sat there unmoving, for quite a long time. Two weeks have passed since I started to concentrate. This type of training is time consuming but is the most worth it. In Amaranth the concept of time is as arranged by God as he wanted. In a day there are twenty-four hours half of it consists of Day while half it consists of Night. In a week there are seven days, a month there are five weeks, a year consists of fifteen months. My training paid off as I discovered how to best train my body, and that is just to absorb Essence the more essence I absorb the stronger I become, and since God has so willingly made my body a natural essence absorber I devised my plan of training for the remaining days. Since two weeks has passed I still have three weeks before God¡¯s blessing on me disappears, so I will absorb essence for two more weeks and on the last week I will go and try to learn the ways of the wild, learning and assimilating the creatures skills. ¡°From now on I will call these creatures as Beast as it sounds better than creatures, and possibly after encountering if not all of them then the most of them I will make a classification for them, naming each of them would be good too.¡± The two weeks I planned for absorbing essence is now about to end and I am about to go hunt again but now I am far better and maybe I will be able to find them now. From my meditation I discovered that the best way to absorb essence is first to feel it, then will it to enter your body after entering the body fuse it to each part of your body, as it is fused it make the body parts stronger, more flexible and durable, and now I can even see it with my naked eyes God¡¯s gifts for me are really splendid. Now, let¡¯s try looking for the beasts but first I¡¯ll try to make up a few moves of my own so that if ever I will encounter danger I¡¯ll be able to protect myself. I curled my fingers forming a fist then throw it into air then I tried to make motion where I throw my legs around either making a sweep of a push. I made variations with my punches and kicks, the directions, the height, the positions of each punch and kick. That took up at least three days for me to get used to it. I finished up what I was doing and started hunting. This time I could feel my surroundings very well, and can determine where the beasts are. After a few hours I encountered my first beast but thanks to God¡¯s Protection it was not able to sense me at all. I observed the somewhat furry type beast, it is bipedal like me but the thing is its wrist is surrounded by fire and on its head is not hair but fire, it is not bulky but is rather a bit lean but its muscles are toned, I decided to call this beast Fire Ape. I followed it as it walked through the forest then suddenly it sensed something and went into my direction!
