Evolution of Mortality
« on: August 27, 2012, 12:12:24 AM »
Deep in Deadspace, the uncharted, empty spaces between and past the galaxies of the universe, a large asteroid roughly ten miles diameter sits spinning slowly, a low-signature barrier hold in an atmosphere against the flat surface. Here a class was being held amongst the rock and ice, young men and women standing bare before their instructor, who stands similarly bare in the cold. He stood just over six feet tall, him and his students all covered in sweat. "Now that we have warmed our bodies and Weaves, it is time for you all, my brightest disciples, to learn the newest technique I have discovered. Open your Weaves, your minds, your spirits. Look within yourself, find the center of your Spirit, where your Spirit energy is made. There, you see a new source of power. The link between the worlds of the Living and the Spirits. That energy, is called Animorra by the Ancients. That is the energy that our spirits take from the Astral planes, and convert into the useable Spirit Energy you're all familiar with. This energy is powerful, mysterious, and unpredictable. It has a place in everything that exists in this world, natural things having far higher concentrations of it than the artificial. This energy can be used to fuse with the energy we Sierrensa use, temporarily fusing with our bodies and making us far, far more powerful than we would otherwise be." He says, arms out wide as the new energy begins to gather about him, shimmering in the air. He smiles at them all, pulling the energy into his body, into his Weave. Soon his body seems to pulse, his brilliant blue eyes widening as he gasps, more energy filling him through his breath. The students look on in awe, having not heard of anyone using the Astral's energy like this.

Within moments they could hear bone shifting, muscles rearranging and the sparks of powerful energies surging within him, his skin growing and turning a dark, stone-like color. He yells out, a long, feathered spear forming in his hand as large rosary beads, nearly half a foot in diameter, form floating around his neck and waist, large crackling blue sigils floating behind him. He stands before them once more, now nearly fifteen feet tall, eyes closed. His eyes open, the same brilliant, shining blue.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.
