Shortly after the first cosmic ocean disappeared, not far away another ocean of amethyst-colored cosmic energy, equally large, repeated the same process as its predecessor, constantly compressing into a small point, whose surface looked like a galaxy with a mixture of amethyst and white colors.
After being compressed enough, one could see that its shape is similar to that of an egg, not to say that it is the same, only it would be one of the most beautiful eggs one could ever see, but unfortunately not for long, because after the compression was finished, it shot out and, whether by coincidence or fate, went in the same direction as its predecessor.
This phenomenon, unlike the previous one, was very strange, but just like in the previous case, only the truly powerful could feel something about it, only this time it generated a sense of alarm and urgency in some, but joy and excitement in others.
Well, the second phenomenon itself is not so rare, but when there are two in a row and other added circumstances is what makes it strange.
It was the omen that something big was about to happen, something that until now had only happened once before in all existence.
However, as strange as the phenomenon was, it was also curious since it seemed like a law or something bigger than the first thing that was formed again were the eyes.
In this case, penetrating light amethyst eyes with a vertical pupil of intense golden color from which emanated an unimaginable pressure that felt capable of destroying everything where its gaze passed, however, contrary to the pressure that was felt, from those eyes one can perceive a serene but very inquisitive presence.
—----------------------------------------?????????-------------------------------------------
For some reason I am locked inside something, although I could not say precisely what it is or where I am, and also to my dismay, I am just forming.
Why?
How am I able to be conscious at this early point in my creation?
I mean, I'm not complaining about being conscious during the process of my formation, but that doesn't mean it stops seeming strange to me to say the least.
It's still interesting to see how this thing forming me, it's slowly coming together and then Puff! there's something new that's mine.
...
My brain, it's pretty nice if I do say so myself.
And how do I know?
Well, it turns out that it's the first thing that formed, and I saw the whole process since I'm conscious and I don't have anything else to do, even so it was quite entertaining, but I still feel that strangeness throughout the whole process.
I must insist that seeing and also feeling how your body is forming little by little is quite bizarre.
Additionally, I don't know how big my body will be seeing how much of this substance there is, but I always have a feeling that it's more than it seems at first glance and it really has another function besides forming me.
—---------------------------------------?????????----------------------------------------
I have discovered 2 things.
The first is that I apparently had nothing to worry about, as my body has finished its formation, and there is about a little more than half of this substance left, although it had been dormant for a while.
And the second is that once the substance became active again, a part of the substance began to permeate my body and was slowly strengthening it. And the other part was heading to my head, so the mystery I had previously was solved and my previous intuition was right.
This energy (which is apparently the name of the thing I have been calling substance all this time), provides me with new information and knowledge as it enters my head.
For now, I will wait to see what happens once I finish absorbing all the information.
—----------------------------------------?????????---------------------------
Within the new information I have received, I have discovered something very intriguing, and that is time, which is a concept that I think is somewhat abstract if I had to describe it myself.
Since according to the knowledge I have, it is something fundamental, but that affects the myriad things in existence in different ways and forms.
And it seems that it entered into a certain category of beings that are affected by it, but the way in which these effects develop in this type of beings is very particular.
You see, I feel time, but in an exaggerated way, for what would be a few moments to me, for other beings it is a long time.
And that is not all, I know that every certain amount of time (quite long) I receive a type of strengthening, and every certain amount of time (quite short) I receive a different type of strengthening.
The first strengthening I receive is physical, every few years that I live my body becomes exponentially more powerful and resistant, but I must pass a type of test, and once I pass it in addition to the above, my life expectancy increases.
The second strengthening I receive is spiritual, and it is similar to the previous one, only in this case, every few years that I live my soul becomes percentage-wise more powerful and resistant, the only thing different in reference to the previous one is that I do not have to pass a type of test, it is only a small passive growth of my soul.
It is suddenly the level of growth that makes the times between the 2 types of strengthening so uneven, since the percentage that grows in my soul is quite small and constant, on the other hand the growth of my physical body is quite large.
—----------------------------------------?????????-------------------------------------------
Without much to do in this place, apart from absorbing the information that comes to my head, I have begun to try to understand all the knowledge I possess and the new one that is arriving.
At first nothing very significant happened, only by delving into certain more esoteric knowledge did I begin to notice the difference, but even then it was somewhat vague and confusing.
The biggest change I felt was when I combined the inspirations of the different types of knowledge.
Not only did I have a clearer mind, but also my thoughts flowed more freely and I could connect things more easily.
It is quite pleasant the feeling that it gave me to have my mind so clear but at the same time concentrated.
I realized that I was beginning to cultivate my own wisdom.
And contrary to what one might think, it is not just what it means, at least, in the higher level worlds it meant something else.
An intention.
It is similar to an intention of swords, sabers, spears, etc.
It is an intention related to knowledge.
And it is quite rare.
Since it is not something that most powerful beings go for, they prefer to cultivate other types of intentions, but just like the other types of intentions, wisdom has its good things.
The only thing I have discovered so far is that I can release an aura around me that allows inspirations to come more easily.
But this is only the embryonic stage of my wisdom.
I am quite excited to see what else I will be able to do in the future, so for the moment I will dedicate myself to cultivating it.
—----------------------------------------?????????-------------------------------------------
Since I decided to cultivate my wisdom, the first thing I did was review my foundations, that means that I have reviewed and delved deeper into all the knowledge I acquired previously. And I found something that I had overlooked and took for granted as something normal from the beginning of my existence.
Apparently the liquid energy that I thought was normal to be liquid, is not.
Only when compressed does energy become liquid, but even then it is not as dense as the energy around me.
Imagine my surprise when I realized how wrong I was, but even greater was when I discovered that the extreme state of compression that this dense liquid energy has is not only rare, but also unique.
But it is one of the most important requirements for the creation of very special beings.
The Primordials.
Yes, it is just as it sounds, I am a very special and unique being.
Well, more or less, since recently I have been able to perceive the presence of beings born from the same energy as me, some older and others of the same age.
Which gave me a small doubt, exactly what is my age?
It is very difficult for me to discern precisely my age, since it is very difficult to measure how long I have been here.
I may have been here a long time, or maybe not.
And well, the truth is that it doesn't really affect me to know it, so I won't dwell on it any further.
Getting back to the subject, I am the first of my race, which is normal in all primordials, we are the origin of the different races of existence, or at least the most powerful ones.
But I think my situation is a little more special, because apparently I feel incomplete.
It all started when I could perceive my brothers, between them I could feel a presence that attracted me in an extreme way, it's as if we were destined to be together from the beginning, and the scariest thing is that when I felt that we weren't together I began to feel incomplete and broken.
Now I don't dislike the feeling of longing and attraction since I can vaguely perceive that it is reciprocal. And I don't know if it's because of the distance or something else, but I can only vaguely feel it.
What really bothers me is that I feel like I realized it too late, because you see, it's not just a kind of physical attraction, it's something more spiritual.
I felt like my soul was becoming complete, I'm not saying that it wasn't before, but before I felt his presence I always felt incomplete in some way, as if a very important part was missing, but I associated it with the fact that I hadn't been born yet and there wasn't enough time. But that changed when I could feel his presence, I knew it at the same moment. HE was the part that was missing, I would only be complete once I was with him.
And the best thing is that this feeling of completeness grows stronger every moment.
What has calmed these intense emotions that I feel is the fact that miraculously he is not very far from me, and although I don't know the exact distance, I know that it is not very far.
Anyway, the way things are going he will be out soon, so I hope he can come see me even if I haven't left yet.
—----------------------------------------?????????-------------------------------------------
...
Well, he did come.
Somehow I could tell when he left, and I don't know if it's because of our connection but I felt that the first thing he did after leaving was to come in my direction.
I'm very happy that that was the first thing he did, I feel like I'm just as important to him as he is to me.
....
I really didn't have to wait long, before long he was here by my side.
I wonder if we can talk while I'm inside this place, he's been here by my side for a while now but since he hasn't said anything yet I'm not sure if it's possible or not.
For now I'll try to talk first and see what happens.
"Hello"
"....."
"Hello?"
"..."
"..."
Can't he hear me?
Or is this place interfering in some way?
...
Several similar questions were popping up in my mind when I heard him.
"Are you there?"
"Yes, here I am."
"Mmm, it's definitely weird."
"What's weird?"
"The way we're talking."
"I guess you couldn't hear me before."
"Right, but I guess you couldn't either."
"That means this place really causes some kind of interference or blockage."
"You mean the egg? Yes, most likely, although thinking about it, it's quite logical if you think about it."
"..."
"Are you still there?"
"Egg?"
"Mmm, did that surprise you?"
"Yes, I never really thought about where I was developing, but I never imagined it would be from an egg, especially considering the shape of my body."
"Hahaha, the same thing happened to me."
I was really surprised, because from what I've concluded, my shape is more similar to that of a species called a cat.
I mean, I know my species has the ability to transform into anything, but still.
Why wasn't this information in all this knowledge I'm gaining?
Was it not that important or was it for another reason?
"Anyway, this connection we have is really special"
"I totally agree with you on that, but I'd like to know what other qualities it has"
"Yes, it's very interesting, but there's no rush anyway, we'll have more than enough time once you get out"
The connection he was talking about was the means by which we were communicating.
At some point we both realized that we had some kind of spiritual thread that linked our souls, and when we tried to communicate without success, this seemingly illusory thread lit up.
And that's how we were able to start talking to each other.
Although it would be more accurate to say that we communicated through thoughts.
In this case it's different from the sound transmission that can be done once one reaches the realm of the nascent soul.
"How much longer do you have to go before you come out?"
"I estimate not much, the liquid energy is only about 1/10 of the half it was when my body finished forming"
"1/10, Mmm"
"What are you so thoughtful about"
"I was thinking about telling you about the soul world, seeing as how you almost absorbed all of the liquid energy"
"If you are talking about that, I know, but I feel like I am still lacking some information about it"
"It is something normal, because our soul world is something special, I also only realized it some time after I came out"
"What do you mean by special?"
"Which realm do you think you will be in once you are born?"
"In the realm of the soul world?"
"That is where the special is, once you are born you will enter the realm of minor conception"
"What!"
"It's just as you heard, our souls are very powerful and special, so they first have to be tempered enough so that they don't collapse when we open our soul world, since saying that it's immense is an understatement"
"I don't know what to say"
"Haha, don't worry, it's okay, but I suggest you try to take a look at it at least, I think your soul is tempered enough so that it won't collapse if you just go in and out quickly, but just in case I advise you not to stay inside for too long"
"Well, I'll try"
...
—----------------------------------------?????????-------------------------------------------
I'm speechless.
I tried to do what he told me, and opened my soul world in anticipation. And I can only say that he was quite right when he said that saying it's huge is an understatement.
It's literally a small world.
I know it sounds very obvious since the realm is called the soul world, but according to my knowledge it's not normally that big, the biggest a soul world can be when it opens is the size of a continent of a level 1 world.
Leaving aside its large size, it also has another quality that it shouldn't have, it's malleable.
I can literally change it however I want, and it won't affect it at all.
Unfortunately I was so absorbed in my soul world, that I forgot how long I had been inside, I only knew when I felt a great pressure on my soul.
The pain was awful, as if something huge fell on me and was crushing me. It was at that moment that I understood why we can only access our soul world when we are about to be born.
As robust as my soul might be, it still wasn't enough to bear the weight of my enormous soul world, but thank goodness that even if I couldn't stay inside for long yet, I could stay long enough to make some minor changes.
So for now while I finish absorbing all the information I'm missing, I'll make some minor changes to my soul world.
...
There was one important thing that also changed unlike when he wasn't here with me.
It was now possible to know the passage of time.
I don't know if it was because of some quality the egg had, but apart from blocking everything outside and inside, it distorted the senses which in turn made the perception of time distorted.
By the time I finished absorbing all the knowledge I was missing and my soul was tempered enough to be able to freely be in my soul world, 20 years had passed.
....
"I think I'm ready to go out now."
"Ok, I'll keep an eye out here."
As soon as I finished hearing his voice, I stretched gently and when I could feel the walls of the egg, I applied pressure until it started to ring.
Crack, Crack, Crack
"I'm finally out."
The first thing I felt was a strong blinding light that covered my eyes, but strangely it didn't affect me as much as I thought, I felt a kind of comfortable and relaxing warmth.
"Mmmmmm, I'm speechless, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."
As soon as I heard that deep voice, the first thing I thought was that it sounded really good to the ear, a little seductive I should say. So I turned in the direction of his voice.
Honestly, I was speechless too.
