Chapter 14 - Arc 1-chapter 13-empathy

_a recording from the archaic records will now be played_

-remember this , friend of mine , for it will be useful in the future : if you tell a bird to nest in an oak but guide him towards a birch , telling him that is an oak , he will now think that those are oaks for the rest of his life , until something enormous happens of course, same goes for emotions, so please do not hate those who do bad or "evil" , for they all deserve absolution in the end , but for the same principle try and teach them love and guide them to the truth

-is this my purpose?

-purpose… that word is a blessing and at the same time a curse… no this is not your purpose my friend , this is OUR purpose , and now we pass it onto you

-ill do it, i'll become the all absolving deity they need , even if they don't deserve it , even if it will be hard and there's a slight chance of failure i promise i will put my all

-thank you, friend

_the scene between a little kid with white hair and , his back turned , and a white dressed and masked individual fades away… the archaic records will now close _

-welcome , aspect of the predator

-i think you misunderstood my aspect is oblivion I don't… oh wait does it have to do with this thingy that pops up every time i eat ?

-it does

-ooooooooh

_ both him and Yakko sat down to listen as a kid would listen to a teacher , then started giving scratchies to Yakko while listening (because yakko put his head ok his lap ) _

-i was informed about your birth a while ago but didn't think this time it would've been different

-this time?

-yes ,this time , for you are one of many , but apparently the only surviving one from the experiment

-so who did it?

-i do not know

-why did they do it?

-i do not know

-who ordered them to do it?

-i do not know

-what am i here for?

-that i know

-well thanks

-i have been ordered by the god of fire and forge , Hephaestus , to aid the "aspect of the predator" which would be the result of the experiment, but i was not allowed questions so i do feel sorry for you, predator

-oh don't , you really are not at fault , demigod of fire

-the only detail i do know is the fact that my mission is to teach you about Uni and some combat basics

-got it , get ready for sleep yakko

-who said i would be doing theory first? Get up and get ready

_Oblivion got completely annihilated, and i mean completely. Salamander's tail was way to fast for him and his fire skills to strong , even if he said they were weak ones . The fire lizard wiped the floor of his lair with him , and i mean that oblivion could not fight back or even react at all _

-there's an issue

-what

-you appear to have been born with no talent at all

-oh

-your reaction time is slower than a sleeping ape , your technique as simple as the color of the sky and mostly your observation skill just simply does not exist

-so I'm doomed basically?

-no

-no that is not the case, for no one is doomed truly

-and how is that?

-because effort and willpower exists, and those , if put into use, can surpass even the most talented . However this needs time and patience

-can't i just use my predator system to eat someone with talent and obtain it myself?

-talent is not a skill, for you are to be born with it or not to be born with it

-and apparently i am not

-that seems not to be the case

-…

-may i ask , young one , what is your purpose?

-survive? I don't really have one

-then let me tell you this : if in the arc of one year you do not manage to be strong enough to cut down my tail, i will oblite you from existence , and wherever you may run or hide i will come find you in a time too short for even you to notice

_our poor guy was in shock . He had just recieved the bad news about his talent and now this? But he didn't care because he was confident in his ability to keep going no matter what, now backed from what salamander said about good will put to good use._

-now then before you go off its time to explain to you how the world works

-yay…

_salamander then explained the basics of UNI to oblivion, but added_

-however past a determined level of UNI power one is able to evolve past its limits and access the successive world

-got it

-but

-yes young one?

-who gave us this power

-let me tell you a story, one that is considered to be fiction by mortals but is known as history to the ones smart enough to understand : at one point there was only one god ,bigger than a whole universe , however this giant felt so lonely , so lonely , that he decided to make himself some company ; he took parts of himself and shaped them like little spheres , which then with the elements he knew of , coloured. After some time of creating here and there , he noticed some sounds coming from his colorful creations, that, was the birth of mortal lives , which the giant was very fond of and loved to play with, giving them gifts like magic and superpowers, so they could have fun with and without him. But the giant realized that by using himself as a material to build more and more was going to ,eventually ,bring him to an end , so he decided to make his last creation beings as powerful as one element of which he controlled , in order for the mortals to have someone to guide them to greatness and tranquility, and that was the birth of the gods, which he made with similar to emotions to them so that they could empathize with mortals and understand their situations. Then the god finally started its eternal rest, and the gods decided to use the last bit of creation power left from their father to give mortals one last gift: UNI . This was so that every mortal could ,past one point , become itself a god.

_ Yakko and Oblivion left, now ready for the hell of a year that was to await them _
