So...This was death. It didn't feel so bad. just me. My mind. All the thoughts that make up me. Faintly held together by a container i couldnt see or feel. I just knew it was. Trying not to panick from a lack of control, A lack of understanding. Da Fuck? a lack of a body. Thinking was vibrating my thoughts, which shook the container. Which felt like it might break at any minute. Before i could start the process of panicking and shutting up all over again a light in the distance fastly approached all that was left of me. O no! No! No! No! Going into the light was bad. But the light was coming towards me. Feeling stupid for not taking my second life more seriously. I should have become a trader or something. Imersed in darkness like a mote of nothingness about to be exposed by an uncaring and vividly stark streak of light I couldnt move. There was nothing to be done. O shit! That thing was gonna smash me into thought particles. So this was the end. in the end? Downsome and filled with bitterness Wreathed in panick i began to notice the light was in fact a large feiry bird. With a trail of flames billowing behind it. It struck me, leaving everything in flames. I became flames. A sea of never-ending inferno. constantly shifting, changing shapes becoming nothing then forming into the bird then a child and then nothing. Over and over. I gave up trying to keep track of what was going on. Plus I was becoming sleepy. I think it was time for a nap. Drowsiness engulf me in entirety. I woke up in a familiar bed. My favorite shirt and comfortable skivies covered my body. Next to me was a boxum redhead, I could tell who it was by the scant locks of fiery hair leaking from under the covers. Also one of ass cheeks wasn't covered. A circular birth mark was clearly displayed. Lost in thought trying to remember the last time I was in bed with this particular chicken. My body moved on its own and I started to groom and prepare myself for the day. washed myself, grabbed new clothing Got dressed, kicked out my bopper from last night and stood in front of the mirror. All of this convinced me of the fact I was reliving a memory indeed. Instead of time traveling. As my dark brown eyes starred at my reflection A Reddish chocolate skinned man stared back with slightly stocky build leaning towards a little out of shape. I was handsome dark haired, high cheekbones Full lips, large piercing eyes. I was a perfect mix of both parents who went on a vacation like four years ago. As soon I was grown. Never to return. They sent me a letter saying they settled somewhere safe don't try to find them. Sounds like my dad. I think 🤔 they loved me. Maybe I was just to needy growing up. Well the heart only grows fonder. Taking a second, approximately. I went from pearing into myself to find my center the core of all I was. the spark of divine The seed of consciousness. It actually wasn't in the mind. it resided in the heart of all places. After finding it. My minds eye became active. It used to feel impossible to find the minds eye. After a long time of practice it was instantaneous. it only seemed to take a long time as I got to experience the whole thing internally. My mindeye plunged into the castle floor at my feet It was like I could see on a molecular level Gaining information in vsiual spectrum of the exact composition of the stone at my feet. Peering close enough I could see a faint brown haze rising up from what made up the individual stones in the floor. Instead of taking the essence of earth from the stones which was like building blocks holding the matter in place and shape of a stone. I created my own with the same frequency of the stone yet I added visual tweaks making it appear as if I wore green glass. I also added micro filaments of iron from one of many ingots I had lying around. Altogether creating a stunning suit of armor that appeared to be stained glass spikes the shoulders I summoned the weapons previously Making it look qs though they apparently just appeared. Fashioned to my liking a large powerful shiled i couold hide my whole body behind And a sharp giant crystalline zhuhander type sword I like to flail around when i was low on force or inbetween magic kill. As i knew what day it was I wasnt surprised when alarms and shouts cascaded through the air A Calls to arms were broadcasted Knights and soldiers along with some of the able amassed armed , righteous and angry. All hostiles were quickly rutted from the streets while a the battle took place outside the walls Where i was stationed High on the walls i conguled and pecked at the forced of earth tucked deep within the sky. I kept plucking and pulling not at first successful While dodging aerial beast. Swatting the ones that strayed to close to me. Some of them were unreasonable big yet when their bodies struck the huge sheet of metal with a crystalline portion i used as a viewport. The shield seemed to magneticly cling to tbe palisades. Feeding all impact energy back into the wall of stone and timbers. That hath stood for centuries. They bounced backwards. Repulsed falling to their deep while half the time unconscious. Other times they fell at my feet. A simple stump enforced by the earth to the skull did the trick or i dropped the edge of my heavy sword on them. I finally caught the what i was searching for. In a mental net of small swath of stones that floated free in space were gathered. My mental waves enfused and entangled with the space rocks. Just like that i yanked them down. Adjusting the trejectories as they fell I just knew what to do After practice i had perfected it. Under the protection of my brainwaves The 6 or so rocks gained heat and exceleration With out losing alot of mass. Becoming deathly threats soon to cascade unto the earth Directed with an unbreakable will and a dangerous level of determination. A horde of creatures made up of many amalgemations and outright abominations battered at the walls. Roared like thunder and sruged like the waves at the walls. Clambering for destruction. Hungering to rip the flesh of the inocent and the defenseless. They would never know that death would arrive in breathes Only the ony sesitive to heat and pressure were able to brace themselves. My brain waves involoped the Meteors. Guided violence on a massive scale Fell and cleansed the filth knowed as monster's. I obviously didnt kill them all of my own in one strike. But it obliterated alot of them. We abandoned the walls and took the fight to them Mostly drained of forced. My brainwaves felt weak. I stumbled a little when i touched down But the earth had already started to nourish me again. Filling my tanks. Soon i wouldn't be drained Ready to do more epic shit. With very basic but brutal fighting style i pushed deep into the enemy offensive Gathering up all the first responders along Chopping up crocksters (crocodilemen) and apemen And my favorite Marmedukes Wolfish-feline crossbreeds that were sometimes hard to kill but really good to eat. A massive four legged lizard the size of a stallion Breathed lasers while a group of poison spewing warthogs protected its flanks. I could see the lizard inhaling for a breathe attack. I braced for impact It struck hard pushing my feet deep into the earth My shield and body inched backwards under the assualt the shield grew from hot to cherry red- just as i started to give in, feeling unable block which would leave all those following me into battle vulnerable to lazer blast. It would look weak. Something i couldnt stand weakness. I was a hero! Through the cracked crystal in my shield i seen the Status of the lizard. It couldn't rapid fire the laser beam. Looking exhausted. But gathering to strike again While the warthogs with red eyes and acid breath Seem to grin. Also smiling just more grimly more a grimace I rushed in like a fool in love I just have the scense to be behind a shield My zhuhander thrust out like a Lance Intent on spearing through all fleshy obstructions If it bleeds like i bleed Then it dies The sword hammer through warhogs Acid spewed and dripped The feet of the strong and the unafraid Followed close behind Acid ate through my body armor As i took the brunt for the men behind me I stood of the precipice So they may strike With out fear of heights or vertigo Claws bathed in the same power it seemed to spew struck down on the shield rupturing it. Not entirely but i still threw it away Aimed at a warthogs about to get a comrade killed. All this time i had not thought of my best friend and often sparring mate. Jordy. Just as strong as me if not more skilled. Because this was something being relived i knew if i could really changed things i would have ran to him and stood together with my true brother at arms. To the last. Not find him bleeding out unable to speak. A look of horror for me not even fear of what happens next for him. As my career ended. Instead of wailing over the past. I channeled the force of a montain into my blade Slicing the lizard clear from mouth to ass.
