Capítulo 8: Mind

The white room was completely filled with small translucent orbs in the air. They were giving off a light rainbow color. Some of them were touching Leo's skin, producing a warm fuzzy sensation, as if he was home. He felt propelled to touch one of these orbs in front of him.

He poked at one of the orbs, and it started floating away because of his force. Now knowing that he could touch them, he decided to try and hold one of them. He grabbed one of the orbs and brought it to his face so he could see it. The orb quickly melted into his hand while he was looking.

Leo thought about what he had to do next. He assumed that he was looking at some form of magic. So now he would have to somehow gather that magic in his mind to make a star. So he tried to recollect the technique the tome inserted into his mind.

"I have to try and call out to the orbs and try to get them to gather around me. And then I have to... absorb them?" He recited out of his mind.

He guessed that the absorption was the melting of the orbs, so he started 'calling out' to the orbs. He thought for a while about how to call the orbs and decided to experiment. Since he was dealing with magic, he didn't know what to do initially. Eventually, he decided to just visualize the magic orbs floating toward him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the orbs were closer to him than before and more densely packed. Since there was a positive change, he knew he was going in the right direction. He kept the thought in his mind and soon started noticing that his body was warming up. The orbs were getting absorbed automatically into his body.

Soon, he became aware of the magic in his body. He was able to move it in his body, but he didn't know where to store it. After getting them close, he recalled the next step from his memory - storing it in his mind.

He just decided to direct the power toward his head to see what happens. The power started circulating around his brain, and he suddenly felt more aware of what was happening to him. It heightened his senses by a little bit. It was noticeable though.

However, he didn't know what mind meant. Even though the magic was right there, he didn't know where to find the place to store it. The mind was not the same as the brain, after all. He opened his eyes and let go of control over the magic in his body.

Since he was starting to grow tired and didn't know what step to take next, he decided to stop meditating anymore. He had absorbed the magic power but didn't know where to store it. After deciding to take a break, he stopped forcing his mind to think about magic and let go. He found himself in the same white room, but the magic orbs were all gone.

But there was one new addition to the room. A door. He saw a door on one wall of the room that had appeared. The door was also white, with a golden door handle. It was extremely simple, and the door almost merged into the rest of the wall. It seemed like it was also made of the same material as the wall - pure, solid light.

He was very intrigued. The mysterious white space was already puzzling to him, but this made him even more curious about what the space was.

He walked towards the door and opened it. When he looked back, the door that he walked through had disappeared. However, he was less concerned with what he saw. He was more interested in what he couldn't.

"Wow."

He stepped forward into a field of grass. There was nothing for miles on all sides except grass. He knew it was grass, but it was not green in color. In fact, he just knew what was around him, but couldn't see anything. All he could see was pitch black, so he didn't know what color the grass was.

But Leo wasn't bothered about something like the grass. He was looking up at the sky. It was devoid of any stars like he would normally see. There was no light source, yet he knew exactly what was in his surroundings.

A thought flashed through his mind. He looked up at the sky. What if the sky was what he was supposed to fill up with stars? What if he was currently in his mind? He still had control over the magic in his body. He tried to bring it outside his body.

The magic came out immediately. But instead of orbs, it came out as a single cloud of rainbow light emitting magic. It was a cloud the size of a basketball, but it lit up the area around him. While it didn't affect his ability to see, it made the place more vibrant. The grass that the light was shining on was green compared to the rest.

Leo let go of control over the magic cloud. It slowly floated into the sky, and it stopped until it looked minuscule in size to him. The light that it emitted was so low the darkness had covered it up. He only knew his cloud was up in the sky but he could barely see it.

He didn't know what to do, so he decided to go back to the white room. But he didn't know how he was supposed to do that. The door had disappeared when he entered. All of a sudden, a door appeared in front of him. He stepped back initially due to the shock but immediately entered it.

He found himself back in the white room like normal. The door that led to where he had just visited was still there, right behind him. He looked closer at the white door. It had a golden engraving.

"Leo"
