this hell hole had nearly wiped me out like six times already, I'd only been here for what I could only guess was a short time, but then again I didn't have any way to tell.
the sky was always dark here, it was really pushing my ability to spot things as danger lurked seemingly in every corner.
sweat was constantly dripping from my forehead as I didn't dare risk changing my form, it seemed that things here knew when I would be vulnerable, risking my life just to no longer have a human form on a whim was not how I wanted to die here.
I slowly scooted out from under and cautiously picked myself off the ground as I eyed the dead creature I'd been using for cover, I had to sleep somehow.
I silenced my breathing as my head moved side to side, checking to see if I could spot any potential dangers.
[Congrats on surviving 3wks!]
I hate that woman.

primal babysitter pov.....
how is this little shit still alive?!
I had to close my mouth with my hand I was so surprised, I sent him into one of my most dangerous domains, and he's surviving?!
when nature herself gave me the job of watching over and directing her soldiers she told me that only one of them could die, I hoped to get that out of the way with this one, but no.
THIS BASTARD IS STILL ALIVE!
he'd gone three weeks and not once has his life been in serious mortal danger, DAMMIT!
I slammed my hands onto the desk, startling the other pirmals, their training halting as they looked at me.
"he's surpassed all of you, again."(primal baby sitter)
looks of shock on all the girls faces as they looked at each other with expressions of being impressed.
"by how much?"(lya)
"twenty thousand."(primal baby sitter)
Ty and Jyn nearly passed put at the mention of just how far ahead he had gotten.
Vyde and Dyso High fived while lya and Wydo tried to look as normal as possible, the news had effected all of them.
"why aren't we training like he is?"(lya)
I took a second to think about it, it was a good question.
"because we can only afford to lose one primal, he also has a history of surviving things."(primal baby sitter)
they seemed to accept my answer, good.
I resumed watching him, he was currently I a fight against one of my strongest monsters, a flame serpent who's only weakness is its eyes, I was surprised by how he fought, it seemed like he was slowly learning and adapting to constant combat, his ability to find weak spots and weaknesses only improving as my curiosity grew about just how far I could push him, how far could I jump his growth?
---
flames scorched my side as I yelled out in pain amd jumped to my side.
the snake narrowed its eyes at me and coiled, ready to strike again.
my own eyes narrowed as time seemed to slow, it's strike coming at me extremely slowly, I moved my body out of the way as it's eyes glowed, following me.
ITS EYES! OF COURSE!
with the slow effects still in place for the snake and the rest of the world, my body moved at its normal pace, my hand breaking through its eye.
before it could recoil I moved to its other eye, repeating the same stab, both eyes now just empty bleeding holes.
it's screeches of pain serenading my ears as a sick smile twisted its way onto my face.
[passive evolving senses has evolved into combat senses- temporarily see time as slowed, speed increased, better danger detection, dark vision improved, better situation analysis]
I ignored the message as I let my eyes wander over the serpents body an excitement growing as my bloodlust soared.
the snake seemed to sense it, backing away and coiling defensively, no longer aggressive as it cowered within itself.
you're mine fucker.
with explosive speed I moved towards it, my hand reaching out as claws of metal extended from my fingers, piercing the creatures head and allowing my entire arm to pass through, the claws sticking out the other side of its head as its body spammed for a few seconds, it's flames dying out.
my claws retracted as I removed my arm, shaking its blood from it once free.
[passive bio metal unlocked- gain the ability to grow and create metal from your body, as strong as you are, limited by available blood in body]
Sweeeeet.

primal baby sitter pov...
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"(primal baby sitter)
all the other pirmals dropped their weapons and halted their training as they gave me a frustrated look, the night sky stars illuminating their annoyance.
"sorry."(primal baby sitter)
I sat myself back down in my seat as I spun in my chair, returning my attention to the wispy window I had into the world I sent Syn to.
his body was becoming more and more combat ready, his senses adapting to his environment.
if I bring him back later there could be disastrous consequences, no one could control him!
with haste I waved my hand, the portal ripping open, Syns dirtied and battered frame stepping through, muscles bulging and rippling ad his eyes glowed, his aura even more intense than last time.
"put me back!"(syn)
with fear and immedkatw submission to the higher power I waved him back, the portal vanishing as I fell to the floor, my knees quivering as my life finished flashing before my eyes.
let's let him continue for a bit longer, he clearly wants to, what's the harm?
I knew i was kidding myself, he was more a monster than these six will ever be, I'm more concerned with the stat boost hell bring along once he's finished, will they be able to handle it?
primals at a certain point share power, its a two way street since they share life force, and since there's a set number of them it's a closed system, meaning they can stagnate pretty easily, apparently this kid didn't get the damn memo, how the hell is he progressing so fast in a closed system, there's no new energy to introduce.
is he creating his own? is this an open system?
is it because he has the essence of destruction?
is that even possible? it must be....... I mean in nature there's balance, two sides of a coin that equal each other, he's able to clear energy to make room for some since Syn is the essence of destruction, tearing down the old to make way for the new.
same goes for the other pirmals, they possess essences that serve purposes in nature.
Jyn is fear, the essence that ensures survival.
Vyde is dominance, making sure the best survive and pass on strength.
Dyso is the hunt, making sure enough prey is hunted to keep balance, to make sure there's not too many.
Lya is life, the balance for destruction, or in his most common, death.
Ty is the cycle, making sure things continue in the natural order, an acceptance almost.
wydo is the animal instinct itself, pure primality at its core.
each and every one lf these plays a role in nature, a role that she allowed others to be in possession of, she has much more roles but these key ones have to be continued on tje daily, and they are, through the primals life force being in this universe, without them nature would return to the near death state I had to save her from with these souls.
one being doesn't have the power to control all of these forces for long, at least not with their health intact, that's why I laugh at these gods who wish to be master of all, there's a reason gods are incredibly specialized for one purpose or essence.
cpuld Syn become the first primal to become a god?
