Chapter 3 - ch 3 secret tunnel

"Did you know there would be currents? No, well you're in luck, because neither did I, but I was swimming, and one day I noticed that some of the anima seemed to be flowing in a specific direction. I was stuck here, so I began thinking to myself that I might as well go with the flow, and so I swam closer until I began getting pulled along, which takes us to where I am now getting dragged along by currents. I'm sure I should just give up hope, but part of me hopes this might be the way out of this god-forsaken place. While I was thinking about it, was there even a god?"

"Oh, sorry, where was I? I got a bit bored, so I took a nap. Oh, did I mention last time that I can sleep now without worrying about disappearing? Well, now that my anima is stored and not free-flowing, I'm fine to go to sleep, even if it does nothing but pass the time. Speaking of storage, it's been growing at such an astonishing rate that I'm actually a little afraid that I might pop like a water balloon because of a limit of some sort, so I came up with a new, bright idea: What if I make smaller storages with like releases so that if I ever reach my limit, I won't die, but for now, I'm going to wait and see where this takes me?"

"screw it let me try experimenting first meditate "

I started by entering a meditation stance, followed by pulling my awareness into myself following the channels to my core. As I like to call it, it feels as if I reenter the anima ocean. Using my focus, I attempt to assert control over my anima.

"damn it what am I doing wrong here it's like trying to push a large bag of bricks"

I made a couple of attempts, first by moving all the animation at the same time and then instantly failing. My second attempt was to move small parts, failing again. My last and final attempt was to infuse my focus, which partially worked. I was able to rotate it, but that was all.

"looks like I know what I'm practicing now"
