my shoulder was yanked backwards, my body spinning as I got ready to punch someone, standing down once I got a view of them.
the other primals, except all of them were now girls.......what the fuck?!
"we need to talk."(lya)
I nodded, no shit we need talk!
"as you've noticed were.....different..."(ty) the previous leviathan said.
"so what happened was-"(wydo) said, interrupted by me putting my hand up, signaling for them to stop talking.
"you were all reincarnated into this, weren't you?"(syn)
each and every single one of them nodded, giving a questioning look in my direction.
"we didn't know if you were reincarnated or not."(vyde)
I nodded as well, I understood now, each and every single primal was a soul dragged from other worlds, or world.
"so....where you guys from?"(dyso)
the awkward tension seemed to break as the small talk started.
"I'm from earth."(syn)
a look of shock from the others, wait......were we all from earth?!
"you're all from earth aren't you?"(syn)
a murmur of confirmation from the six of them.
"greetings children."(woman) said, completely out of nowhere.
we all turned to face the voice as the same woman who changed my race and real body was now in front of all of us.
"start explaining."(syn)[in primal] my aggression peaking from behind my words.
she backed up a bit before calming, taking a breath for composure sake.
"it was tasked to me to find seven worthy souls to inhabit the life-force of nature itself, to become its avatars, its enforcers, its emissaries."(woman)
I tried to find a hole to poke at to dismantle the story but given everything that happened so far in my life this was basically one of the things that made total sense, in a weird way.
again even I was surprised by how much sense this made to me, is that even possible?
well it is now.
I shrugged and accepted it, completely unaware of the woman trying to talk to me until she shook me by the shoulders after what had to have been a few minutes.
"PAY ATTENTION ASSHOLE!"(woman)
"huh?....oh...wait...you were talking?!"(syn)
she face palmed, groaning in frustration.
"don't kill a primal don't kill a primal don't kill a primal."(woman)
the other primals gave me a look of 'seriously?'
hey I can't help the fact that my attention span is only as long as I'm interested in something, I'm trying, ok?
"ARGGHHH YOU ASS! PAY ATTENTION WHEN IM SPEAKING!"(woman)
"ok."(syn)
the other pirmals backed away as if they were afraid of what would happen next, maybe I should pay attention.
"I want to strangle this thing!"(woman) half yelled through grit teeth.
she took a breath before she spoke again, her voice much calmer.
"as I was saying-(darts and aggressive glance my way)- now that you're all strong enough you will be responsible for a different region."(woman)
I raised my hand like I did back I school.
"(sigh) what?!"(woman)
I stopped myself from laughing.
"I don't do responsibility well."(syn)
she groaned and threw her head back, cursing at someone in the sky loudly.
"of course you don't!"(woman)
"well if you can't handle responsibility then I have the perfect job for you!"(woman)
my eyes lit up with excitement at the words perfect job.
"since you won't control a region you need to be more powerful than your...sisters here."(woman)
apparently it was even weird for her.
"so more powerful huh?"(syn)
she nodded quickly, something wasn't adding up here.
"just go through this portal here and your training will begin, make sure not to leave until your power literally hurts you to use."(woman)
my full focus immediately was drawn to her.
"I'm sorry what?!"(syn)
"you need to he so strong that using too much of your power will kill you."(woman) said with a sick grin.
"yeah.....totally....."(syn)
with extreme hesitation and caution I poked my foot through the portal, something grabbed and yanked, HARD.
I yelled in surprise as I felt my body pass through the portal, an odd sensation numbing me before I felt the full effects of wherever I was, an immediate weakness.
[stats lowered to half]
fuck.
