The fog was getting stuffy, and I felt like the Ape was lurking nearby. I called upon Fury into active state, and my Phoenix's slight glow allowed my vision to enhance. I sneaked from one statue to another.
I found a pot of something to drink(which didn't turn to stone) on an old-lady-statue's belt holder. I was thirsty, so I took a sip. It tasted like honey with caramel and chocolate, and warmed my entire body. I heard a 'JINGLE', and a rainbow aura glowed on me. I saw the Ape use his only stone finger to touch and freeze me. I fainted.
I woke up in what I guessed was a dream, where my surroundings had changed, and I was in the middle of a great big white nothingness. Normally, I'm so light in my dreams that I float and hover just off the ground, but here, I was just simply walking from Nowhere to Nowhere. A mirror appeared in front of me, and I saw someone... myself!... staring right back at me. My hair floated for a second, grew longer, changed style, then turned blue, and waved about, as if I was standing in a breeze(but I wasn't). My rough clothes - an old suit my mother forced me to wear - changed into jeans, a black t-shirt a jacket and sneakers. My dark-ish skin turned unusually (but handsomely) pale white. My eye color changed whenever and however I wanted. I felt much taller. But the weirdest thing was how I had a glowing mark, a Soulmark as a fact, and that to, one that can change form. And the rainbow aura and mark could appear or disappear at will. My new appearance (other than the aura and Soulmark) were all permanent.
I touched the mirror, but fell in...
I woke up to find out that my new looks and features from my dreams were all really real in reality and I was a statue. I saw a tattoo of a Phoenix on my left hand, meaning that Fury was safe with me. I decided to try call on my rainbow aura. As I did, a flash started for an instant as the stone on me faded. I used the memory ring and remembered the Stoneape's weakness: Mystic water, and that the Ape can create waves of fog, like the ones moving through the air right now. In fact, it was getting slippery to stand up properly. I called upon my 'Blue Trident' Martial Soul form. I stabbed it into the ground to stop my self from being blown away. It slowed down, and I took up my Trident and tried to pierce the fog. The Trident touched a statue, and then my eyes, hair and aura turned deep watery blue, as I (without trying to) subconsciously muttered a Soulcurse - `Aquamystic cloudfate'. Mystic Water started appearing out of thin air, enough for a bucket, and followed the tip of my Trident. I didn't want anyone to know who it was that had the Nectar and freed them, so I hid in the fog as I freed each of them by wetting them with the Mystic Water. They were many, and I knew now, they together could stop the Soul Beast. Anyways, The sun was about to set, so. I ran a small distance, changed my eye colour to my regular purple, got rid of my aura, commanded my Trident to become passive, hid my mark, changed my hair to light blue, called upon Fury, who enlarged to carry me home.
As punishment for returning home late ( as usual ), I was given a small bit of food and was locked in my own room, only allowed out tomorrow noon. I knew I would get locked in my room as I regularly do, so had already stashed away some food in advance under the floorboard. Well, I used this opportunity to look through the strange box.
Half an hour later later...
I've found many things within the box, such as some weaponry, armour, books, a note about the storage quantity of the box (it was small, but could store two-four sacks of nonliving objects), cultivational beneficial books and herbs, a jade soulguider storage belt, and the most important -> a trueform mask - when looking through the mask, you can see through illusions.
I still had a long time to go, and so started to cultivate my skill, and learn about my Martial Soul. I used two herbs to quicken the process. Next, I read through all the books, enhancing my IQ and knowledge. I learnt that a person with my 5power Martial Soul is born once in 5 millennia. I learnt that my Grandfather was Tang San - the God Contra. I practised the basics of how to defend myself and and grow strong in offense, agility, and Soulpower/Soulforce. I upgraded all my skills. I focused on learning the books of Dexter. I now understood about my power, and about my being the bearer of the 'Hellfire Heavenix' - the pet phoenix of mine which turned out to be an Ultra Beast. I wondered about the Legend of another world called Dextopia, the twinworld of Thraeta which together had once been called as Soul Land.
I was simply astounded by it all, about how lucky I was, just as fascinated as I as when reading the books of Dexter in... a place... sometime.
