The whole area was much more vibrate with colors in the night light. Gold absorbed it all into her being. She heard Joon, but did not look at her hands. Instead she grabbed, held and stared at Joon's hand. She could see his energy, '... correction, energies', she thought. Joon possessed multiple energies within his form. The words escaped from her mouth, "But how?"
Joon heard but ignored her question. He automatically new what she was referring to, but he lived a well explored life, and felt no need to explain himself to anyone. He reasoned, 'No explanations were needed when you live to the fullest.' He may not have been as pure and monotone as her energy, but that was part of his journey and his character.
"Look at your hands", Joon repeated to break the silence. He withdrew is hand from hers, and held them up to her face. Gold finally looked and saw her own energy flow. It moved in waves and patterns familiar to her, but his flow interested her more. She recognized her old self from below the surface in the molten patterns. It was comforting and the revelation made her smile.
By interacting so closely with Joon energy her eyes evolved. They were now like the most powerful microscopes that never existed. She could focus down to the atoms level and watch the elements of this world interact. They repulsed and attracted so quickly. It was like watching tadpoles at play, zipping around the water, but on a much larger scale. The volume tadpole moving around was overwhelming, yet organized in nature. All the atoms contained in different organelles were interacting and not becoming part of one another. There was a level rigidness to this plane that allowed for more complicated systems of interacting to be set in place that just would not work back home. Everyone was not just leveling up to a new energy state. They had different states happen within them at all times. Not like Joon. His was levels were unique. There were two or three distinct energies separate from his dwelling in him, mix in and not all at the same time. It was almost like they were fighting to be freed or maybe just be seen. Gold pondered if Joon meant for her to see that part.
Joon could not help but notice her, after he started. After he sensed her presence, he migrated through the water from deep inside the cavern days ago. He watched her mold herself in little ways. Then observed and listen as she formed a voice and made inquires. He had never seen an element's evolution process after they ascended to the surface before. She was a new experience in his jaded world. Gold was light in the darkness, and he had become a moth. The idea amused the dragon.
