章節 114: Chapter 117
Spirit bending was a concept that the human race thought they had great mastery in. But what they didn't know was that spirit bending was so much more then they had knowledge of.
'Dragon, what do you know of spirit bending?' Vaatu had become a voice inside Dragon's head. Since the two had merged, Vaatu became almost like a natural barrier around Dragon's soul. He was present inside Dragon and would act independently if someone targeted Dragon's soul.
"Not much at all. Nothing concrete." Dragon sat with closed eyes.
'Well, it is also known as energy bending. In fact, many names exist for what essentially is the same thing. Spirit bending is revolves around manipulating cosmic energy. This is an energy that is needed in the creation of anything. So that means it exists everywhere, and it always has and always will.' Vaatu said.
"hm, so it's not energy bound to this worlds spirit dimension. Interesting. Does it have a limit?" Cosmic energy, for example, is what the bridge between worlds and universes are made out of. Dragon uses a very specific energy stream every time he travels. And the stream is entirely made out of cosmic energy.
'No, the reason spirit bending is so weak here is that the humans aren't powerful enough to manipulate it to a greater extent. And that is where you come in. You have an energy supply so massive it rivals that of an entire world. Meaning manipulating cosmic energy will be easy for you.'
'Easy to sustain it you mean? I still have to master it.' When Dragon erased his abilities, he erased abilities like instant mastery. This is why completely mastering air bending took him two years. And also since he wasn't born in this world, it took him longer to adapt to how these people live.
Bending is about personality as much as it is about moving your hand. A free spirit will make air bending easier, while a will of steel and a stubborn mind makes for a great earth bender. And when Dragon came here, he had no defined personality like they have here. He also didn't think as these people do.
'Correct. You are picking up this rather quickly. And now that you merged with me, you already have a strong connection to the cosmic energy. And if you can tap into that you can practically live in the spirit world since it is entirely made out of cosmic energy.'
'I understand. So where do I start?'
'Cosmic energy is everywhere. Start to meditate, and try and sense a different kind of energy in the air. Not an element like you have been doing, but also not completely unlike it. The elements are cosmic energy. But what you need to tap into is the energy inside the elements. The energy between the elements, and in the ground, and everywhere. Look for it, and when you find it, the real training can finally begin.' Vaatu said in a malevolent tone of voice. His tone made everything he said sound like a command.
"No reason to delay this any longer." Dragon said out loud. He started doing breathing exercises designed to help him clear his mind.
He was sitting still in that position for a long time. He spread out his aura and consciousness as far as possible. He tried to enhance the feeling of when he connected with the elements, in the hope of finding that purer cosmic energy.
Finally, Dragon started to feel new and powerful energy around him. It was much purer than anything that he had encountered before. If a fire was red energy and the water was blue, and all other elements had a colour. Then cosmic energy was colourless. But in a weird way, it was also the only energy in colour.
'Vaatu, the connection with cosmic energy is established. I can feel it inside me and all around me.' Dragon opened up his eyes and now he could see different kinds of energies in the air. His eyes had evolved and he could also see the truth of this prison world.
'Good. Now what you are experiencing is what the humans call The All-seeing eye. It's the ability to look at the truth of anything. With your new eyes, you can identify the Avatar with just one look. You can look into any object or person and see their true self. The higher your mastery is, the more you will see.' Vattu's malevolent voice rang out inside of his head.
'I can see the barrier to this world. It's some kind of illusion. I better get to learning spirit bending if I ever want to leave this world.' Dragon closed his eyes and just focused on strengthening his connection to the cosmic energy.
'I will go to sleep for a while. Wake me up when your connection is fully stable.' Vaatu's voice sounded like it drifted far away into the distance. And all that was left was complete and utter silence around Dragon as he meditated.
And hours passed with no movement from Dragon, not a single twitch from his fingers, to his toes. He sat with closed eyes, perfectly still without disturbing the sand he sat upon. His body was weightless, but it sat there solid as a mountain.
Dragon was perfectly still, the ground under him was perfectly still. But all around him, the elements were in a constant motion. The ocean was covered in huge waves, and the wind increased in speed every second. The sun's rays started to give off heat finally, like they had never done previously. Even the sand on this island was rotating and sand particales filled the sky. And with the wind acting up, the two elements combined and created a minitature sand storm with Dragon in the middle of it.
For days the elements raged around him with Dragon completely unaware that any of it was going on. For days, Dragon had been in deep sleep meditation, and without him noticing, Vaatu's connection to his soul strengthened and Dragon revieved benefit after benefit. All of this happened without Dragon or Vaatu realizing, since they were both in different forms of deep sleep.
