《Just a Dream (First Draft)》Chapter 9 - Calm
Advertisement
It has been a few days since I started my observations and testing. Right now I am sitting on a large rock on top of the mountain I had used all this time and watched the sunset.
It wasn't a view that great usually. Using my Auril on my eyes and the brain to increase the amount of details picked up and the amount of them processed changes that. It was a wonder what the human body can perceive but almost nobody could use it. ` I'm sure there are other power systems out there since mine exists. All I would need is to find and study them. `
It had taken a bit but I figured out how to zoom while using Auril. All it took was to shift the lenses of my eyes and now I could use it consciously. With that and increasing the processing power of the brain I am getting a stunning sunset in many shades of colors.
“ In the future I will need to find an animal and copy their eye structure. They definitely had a different view of the world. Can't wait to see everything and experience everything that one can and more. ”
It took some time but the sun set down over the mountain. With that as my signal I stood up and made my way home.
It didn't take me much time and I was home. Thanks to my Sphere of Perception being powered halfway I could perceive almost anything in a 30m radius around me. I saw my parents in the living room watching the TV and my little sister in her room upstairs.
Once inside I leave my bag in my room and take the plastic containers to clean them. Interestingly even when I used Auril to increase the efficiency of digestion there are still waste products created. ` Guess if the body does not like it, it won't take it. `
Going through the living room to the kitchen I hurriedly did my cleaning and was about to leave when mum called me.
“ Mir have you and Amila been in a fight. ” Interesting question. “ Fight? How did you come to that conclusion? ” I think I know where this is going. Ever since that day Amila has been avoiding me whenever possible when I come home and when I do see her she turns red like a tomato and bolts off.
“ Well lately, I have not seen you both in the same room at all and if I think about it, it is not hard to notice that it has gotten worse since that day Amila wanted to talk to you about something. ” Giving me a stare that asked for answers. “ I wonder what you guys talked about that brought this out. Whenever I talk to her about it, all she does is look down and stay silent and when I push for an answer she just turns red and bolts off. ”
Knew it was about that. “ Yes I have an idea what the problem is. ” She was still looking at me expecting an answer. “ It's a problem between us and should stay between us, so I don't want to involve you guys. I am sure we can figure it all out on our own. In fact, now since you have mentioned it, I should probably go talk to her. ” I turned around and left for upstairs. It was only after I left her vision that I stopped feeling a stare from her. It is truly interesting what one perceives when your senses are so strong and you can actually process what they tell you.

I have noticed that even without the SoP that I can feel whenever somebody places their vision on me. I think even normal humans can perceive it but they have a hard time noticing that detail consciously.
Anyway, making my way up the stairs I arrived in front of my sister's room and knocked on the door. I didn't say anything just knocked and waited for her to open it. When she did and noticed it was me she stood shocked for a second and quickly closed the door on me.
So I knocked again. “ Hey Amila. Can I come in? Mum has been worried about you so I have come to resolve the problem. ”
“ There is no need to bother yourself brother, there is no problem at all. ” Came the reply.
“ Mum seems to think otherwise and we can't have you run away whenever I approach you. ” I provided the course of this all and now for the finish. “ So how about I come in and we resolve all this. OK? ”
I gave her a minute to deliberate and again knocked on the door. This time she opened it wide enough for me to go in. Once inside I saw a normal room white room which was normal for us here. There was girl stuff here and there but nothing major. I looked around and noticed the chair by the desk and sat on it.
Once on it, I turned to her and she just stood there watching me. “ You can stare at me after you close the door. We don't want our parents to find out what we talked about. Do we? ”
Shaking her head she closed the door and went back to the bed and sat on it while staring at me. I looked at her and decided to be the one to initiate the conversation. “ So what is the problem? Why are you avoiding me to the point of worrying mother. ” I knew the problem 100% but I still asked for it. I wanted her to answer it.
“ I, I, I ” Looks like she still is not sure what to say. Best push her a bit for it. “ Yes, what is it? Be clear about it. ”
“ I, I figured out what you meant about the link and w,ww, what kind of emotions I sent over them. ”
When I came from the Void I did not want to relive a nice past as that would negate everything I had suffered and that would make it all turn into a Dream/Nightmare scenario. So I had decided to have my main awareness sleep while my physical body lived out Reality, and I had it influence reality around it to make it as close as possible to the past I had experienced even if it was a bad one.
Plan worked for the most part, but I did not expect what would happen if I had an accident at all. Somehow that urged my parents to have another child and if that was not enough the unconscious me never having any siblings influenced the physical me and had used a large amount of power on that fetus, and had influenced it to provide a good nudge in what direction it would develop.
Out of that developed a beautiful little sister which turned out to be way too pretty then should have been possible for my family's genetics normally. With black straight hair and green eyes and the body that would develop too, it made her a future goddess in terms of beauty.

Now comes the problem though. As she was influenced by my power and over the long timeframe of 16 years I had been unconsciously using some of my power to send her my feelings of love and the similar and due to that a Link was formed between us.
Due to its linked nature to go both ways she could also send feelings my way. Problem is she had no idea how or that there was something of that nature possible and when she had enough energy and enough desire to do that I had received them even if I was asleep, sort of.
Now comes the real crutch. Since she had no idea it was possible she did it unconsciously and there was only one desire an untrained girl in puberty could project that was strong enough. That means when she was exploring her female body, or better said when she was satisfying herself she sent the feelings she experienced my way.
` And if I was the thought of that imagination it only made it work easier. ` I smirked a bit. “ And what kind are they? I am really curious. ”
Seeing my smirk must have ticked her off as she swiftly grabbed a pillow and threw it at me all while screaming at me. “ IDIOT; IDIOT why are you making me think about it? ”
Catching it would have been easy but I let it hit me. Once I took it away and rested my vision back at her I saw her red face while she was looking down.
Sighing, I said to her. “ Look there is no need for you to be embarrassed. Its normal for a girl of you age to think about sex. Its natural human behavior. It's in our genetics. You can deny it however you like but it won't change Reality. So how about instead of brooding about it we work it through. ” This time i displayed a serious face. “ Is that OK with you. ”
Not seeing her react I projected a tiny part of my serious emotions through the link and she immediately felt it. This time noticing my seriousness that she would have no choice but to talk it through with me.
“ But, but brother I, I had been thinking about yyyy,you when I did it. Is that not a huge problem that should not even be thought of. ”
“ Why would that be a problem? ” I sighed and asked again. “ Tell me why is that a problem? ” This time she needed a bit to find an answer. “ But everybody says that it's bad to do that and even GOD said it was forbidden.”
` Bah Gods and their stupid religions. If it were up to them they would strip everything of a human about what it meant to be human just to worship them. `
“ Ignore the Gods in fact it would be good if you hated them more. At least I do. ”Projecting my displeasure in my voice I continued. “ Listen. It's best i explained it like this. ”
“ When we think of anything, where does that happen? In our head right. ” She nodded to that. “ Then tell me, to whom belongs that head of yours? ”
“ Umm, me? ” Hearing the correct answer I continue. “ Since it is in our head what does it matter what we do in it. In our thoughts we can do anything we can imagine. If you want to be a hero just imagine it. Want to destroy the world? Then think of it. ”
“ It is only when we try to realise our thoughts that problems appear. Do you understand what I mean? ” Not quite understanding it yet I continue. “ Look if you want to think of me in your thoughts then do it. I don't mind. You can do anything you want in them but if you want to make it reality then that would make problems appear. ”
Having a look of understanding she looked at me with a serious face.“ So does that mean others did it too. They just don't ever do it for real? Even you brother? ”
Nodding to that I confirmed it for her. “ Yes, even I do it. ”
“ For sss, sex too?” Nodding again I added with a smirk on my face. “ Yes, look. For as long as I have lived, I have imagined every girl I could have. From middle school to high school and even celebrities. As long as it was a pretty girl I had imagined her bouncing on my, cough, I mean I imagined I slept with them. ”
Seeing her face turn red again was quite fun when I almost mentioned them bouncing on my dick. Noticing she wants to ask me a question, I refocus on our conversation. “ And what about mmm, me. Have you ever, you know, thought about me. ” Hearing the question I knew I had to be very careful about how I answered.
“Sigh, Yes and No. No, I never did it consciously but about once a month when you satisfied yourself and when you had enough Life Essence, your emotions followed our Link and came to me and affected my Dreams. And you know how you can never control your dreams. They just do what they want. ” Saying it like that I told the truth and kind of extricated myself out of it too but to be honest her red face is truly beautiful so if she ever wanted a physical relationship I probably won't deny it. ` I think it's best if we stop it here. `
“ So has your problem been resolved or is there any more need for talks.” Unsure if she should shake her head or not, I ignored it. “ Either way let's stop here but seeing as our main problem still is not resolved tomorrow well will start working on it. ”
“ What? How? ”
“ That's easy, all we have to do is have you get back into control of yourself. Then even with the link there, no emotions would be sent unconsciously to either of us. Are you fine with that? ” Seeing her nod was all I needed.
“ Good go sleep early. Tomorrow morning you'll be going with me up the mountain. ”
With that left for her to process I leave. Once I was downstairs I found my mother and told her I had fixed it, sort off, and that we would be going on a trip tomorrow.
With that I dipped into my bed but my day had not ended yet. Once I was laying on it comfortably I ignited my Auril all over the body and used it to project an image of myself on it while pushing it out of me. Once it was outside my body and in my shape I sent my awareness into it. As tested before my awareness split. One for the physical body and one for the Auril body.
Playing with it a bit this time I tried to send my whole awareness to it. Immediately my physical side tuned out, but I could still feel it. Once in full control of the Auril body I went to the house wall and tried to see if I could penetrate it now in this form. Coming to it I touched it and immediately I could feel it like never before. It was as if I could see inside it its very structure and I did not mean the wall, I meant the material it was made off.
It took a few tries but once I pushed my WILL in with Auril to let me pass it kind of worked and I just slipped through it. Another medical appointment to my neighbors. In front of my first patient I immediately noticed a quirk of my new power.
“ It looks like Auril is a higher state of Life Essence or at least one kind of it. ” When I came into contact with their Life Essence it was as if the essence attuned to them meant nothing to me. I could directly control it all of it as if it belonged to me, at least if their WILL was not infused into it.
Out of curiosity I tried to see if I could convert it into Auril and I could but the ratio was about 10:1 quite high. ` But the problem is while I could probably take Life Essence with me as I had a fixed pool of Auril there was no need for it. `
“ Well, this changes some of my plans, though I could probably keep it and use it in an emergency. ” Happy with the new discovery I used the new Auril I got, though it was more like I took the Life Essence and my Auril kind of just increased instead of it being directly converted, and had it directly influence the biology of the patient. Unlike before where all I could do was place suggestions on how Life Essence influenced the body.
Directly healing them where they needed, I took my toll and without converting it went back to my body. Once there I stored the essence inside myself and went into dreamland.
A little sister training montage was awaiting me tomorrow.
