Kasai took another sip of tea, frowned as his tongue burned. Shaman was looking at him smiling. embarrassed. "I didn't come here just to thank you." he said, mustering his courage.
"I guessed." said Shaman, shaking his head. "Then why did you come?"
"I was wondering if I have a chance to get an education? Maybe you'll say I'm older. Honestly, I don't know how old I am. I just want to consider it if I have a chance to control my strength." Kasai swallowed involuntarily. There was a loud sound when he swallowed.
"I can't say it's not too late for education. It takes many years to control particles, and education almost always begins at the worst adolescence in early childhood. But your situation is different. Your consciousness is that of a baby even though you look like a grown man. That's why it's so easy to learn languages. At first I thought this was it. Yet you couldn't have learned to speak and read and write in as little as a month. I don't think your consciousness was completely blank. You didn't learn to speak and read all over again, Kasai. You remembered as the towns thought. Been here on this planet before And the fact that you can remember what you've learned in as little as a month is a sign that you have some control over your strength."
Kasai didn't know what to say. He felt a little embarrassed and stupid for not thinking about it before.
"If my consciousness is not completely empty and I have the ability to remember things by training, I want to take this chance." said Kasai thoughtfully.
cam shook his head. "Shamanic training may not be what you expected. You will spend most of your training thinking and listening to your inner world. I say this now because I don't want you to be disappointed."
"Everything is so new to me that I couldn't be disappointed even if I wanted to." said Kasai with an embarrassed smile.
"When the training starts, you will start living here with people who are tens of years younger than you biologically. I'm sure it will tire you out psychologically."
"It's okay. I can handle it. Please let me take this chance." Just as Kasai was about to bow before Kam, Kam stopped him.
"I didn't say I didn't accept you son, I'm just talking about challenges. challenges you have to be prepared for. Kids will find you weird. People will wonder what your strength is. Will you be honest with them?
"Something in the notebook is keeping me from doing this. I don't know when or why I wrote it, but it says that I must conserve my strength no matter what." said Kasai, averting her gaze.
"Did you know when you shared your power with me?"
"Yes. I felt compelled to trust you."
The shaman arose. He made his way to the box at the edge of the tent. He pulled out a thick book. He handed the book to Kasai. "I ask you to review this book. If nothing goes wrong, we will start training tomorrow." he said, smiling. Kasai returned his smile. He had a feeling he couldn't describe.
When he came out of the tent, he realized that he had a smile that he couldn't lose. He smashed through the growing grass, making the road clearer. It was afternoon, suddenly a dark cloud covered the sky. Mystical colors began to dominate the air. With the heavy rain that started in the blink of an eye, loud sounds began to come from the tent he left behind. He tucked the book into his suit.
Kasai tightened his steps. There was a rhythmic side to the raindrops that hit his skin. After crossing the path, the town came into view. slowed his steps.
When he arrived at the inn, his eyes sought the owner of the inn. was not around. he climbed the heavy stairs. His clothes were wet enough to stick to him. After changing his clothes, he sat on his bed. He got up when he thought of the book. He put it on top of the drawer when he was changing. the book was damp. He slowly ran his hand over the book. I liked the texture of the book. He opened the book gently..
"Before the winds and the waves and the stars there was a great pile of stones where the gods sat. the gods were everything; they were all at the same time clever and crazy and stupid and vain and childish. What you did didn't make much sense. one day they brought a nameless race out of the ash, a race they abused and used, a people driven far and wide by the madness of the gods. These nameless ones rose up and devoured the flesh of their creators. They spilled their blood to flood the land, brought screams that shook the trees forever, and cast their spirits into the sky to light the night."
Kasai was startled by what he read. He couldn't understand what he was reading. He had never considered the idea that the stars could be dead gods. Even if he thought about it, he couldn't remember. Kasai was excited about her education. He dropped the book because he couldn't pay attention to what he was reading. Tomorrow would be a new day for him.
