Life is fickle, I´ve had heard that all my life, the first time I went to a funeral that phrase came to my mind, then I died, and I experienced it by myself in body and soul, this being the third iteration I truly understood the severity of this words.
The mean lizard did nothing but feed me strange foods, worms, insects, metallic birds and any kind of animal any sane human would avoid eating at all cost, he feed them to me, an innocent 2 springs old new born.
- [Punny human, though I don´t understand the values of your kind, I do understand your biology, to explode your growth potential you must eat, for you this may see disgusting, but any pure elf or dragonewt would kill for what you have]
*Puke*
- [Look, even your wastes look healthy and strong as an Orc, stop wasting substance and eat to your fill]
Hours, days, and weeks gone by, thanks to the {Will} of the librarian, I could learn all kinds of languages, the local languages of nearby kingdoms, elfish, rune scripting, dwarf symbols, and the language all the books in the library were written on, Aurelian, what the librarian said to be the first language.
My body developed fast, making each and every one of my muscles feel pain as if I was constantly be pulled by all directions, my physical appearance looked alike to a 5 spring old, but in reality, only 1 spring have gone by…
The mean lizard didn´t waste this time, he taught me various concepts all awoken should learned.
- [Since the day I found you I've said many words you shouldn´t be able to understand but feel a strong connection to, now that you are able to handle the most important languages, I'll teach you what any proper awoken should learn, what is {Aura}{Will} and what and awakened really is…]
- [First off, {Aura}, Aura is the wave that connects the sentient from the non-sentient, think of it as a superior form of energy, an Awakened power depends on how much aura they can handle.
Aura is the form in which you express your {Will} to the world, one will have Aura even if they don't have a {Will}, but they wont have a {Will} if they don't have aura, don't be mistaken, some objects will possesses Aura, but it is more similar to an after effect of long use, or the awoken leave a part of his {Will} on the object, that's how Legendary artifacts are made, normal artifacts are only a set of instructions so Aura can flow more easily, but it does not have a true Will of its own, like the difference between an Undead and a corpse]
"If any scientist learned something like this, he must go crazy and explained how many laws something like that will break, just the laws of thermodynamics are screaming in pain…"
- [Now, moving on, {Wills}, Wills are the representation of an individual's journey, if it lived, it has a will, people, beast, objects and even locations have the chance of developing Will. Wills are the experiences of their users, they use Aura to fuel themselves and through wills, an individual can change their appearance, their environment, etc., This are classified in {Ethereal}, {Matereal} and {Zereal}.
Ethereal will chance or interact with a concept of the world, example, if your will is Love, you may have the ability to charm a target, or the Will of Revenge will make so if fighting an enemy who the user has grudge against, you´ll become invincible.
Matereal wills are those who interact with an aspect of the world, anything that has been, is or will be a part of the world, like nature, rain, and fire, there can different wills using the same foundation, like a rain Will, and Ethereal rain would make anyone surrounding the user feel despair, whilst the Matereal Will would summon a literal rain.
Finally, some of the rarest and most powerful ones, Zereal wills are the laws of the world, they directly modify a fundamental law of the world, such as gravity, magnetism, time, space, and some variations can impose new laws, they vary and go from imposing a certain rule such as, no yellow object can enter this room, to changing the maximum speed an object can move]
¨…, how…, whoever made this world is crazy, everyone is crazy, am I crazy…¨
- *Cough*, Excuse me mister librarian, what kind of will do you have?
- [That's why I should´ve teach you manners before Aura, if you ask that same question to someone else it would be the same as asking if you could borrow their heads, the majority of awakened keep their Wills a secret, they go as far as training Aura to accomplish the same as their will just to avoid using it]
- but you didn´t answer my question…
- [You see to have a strong head, and that's why I like you, I just hope your head doesn't roll on the ground someday, sorry Aron, I cannot tell you what kind of will I possess, what I can tell you is the type of my will]
-I'm grateful librarian, and that will be?...
- [I'm a Ethereal, Aron, many would sacrifice for that piece of words, even my apostles do not know that]
- I.. I .. I do not know how to repay librarians kindness
- [Your existence is enough Aron, you may understand the miracle you are, and how fortunate you and I are to meet each other…]
Thus, many years passed by, and now an 8 springs old Aron, was welcomed to the world…
***
- [Aron, 6 springs have passed since our first meeting…]
- I know lizard, tomorrow it would be the anniversary, to think I started as an abandoned infant in the middle of a mountain…
- yet, I do not understand, why do you insist so much in letting me go? I do not understand, while I´ve dreamed of exploring the world, I do not understand why do you wish to let go your first disciple so soon, I'm yet to awaken you know.
- [That's why Aron, the only way to live is to live, you will never develop your full potential if you spend your lifespan stuck in 4 walls, even if those walls contain the knowledge of the world…]
*Sigh*
- [Before you go, I have a parting gift for you, take this]- The lizard, using telekinesis gave Aron a heavy book, it was heavy, it had hardcover book, rather small compared to the rest of tomes inside the library.
- [This book was of a powerful sage who as a parting gift before leaving and funding an empire, left me one of his artifacts, with a drop of blood, this book will be bound to you, I has an infinite number of pages and I imprinted some books that you may need, but they have special requirements to read, I don't want you to die to some fool experiment, now, lend me a drop of blood, and done]
- Thank you, Librarian, if I ever have the opportunity, I'll repay everything you have done to me
- [I don't hope so, if I ever need help the world would probably burn to the ground]
- ha-ha, funny lizard, being so far from the sun must have done something to your lizard brain. – whilst the two were joking, they were bitter inside, both wanted to be together some more time
- Bye, Hamustra
- [So long, Aron]
- I hope to…
- …[see you again]
