Beast Evolution Forge

When Vell opened his eyes, a few hours had passed, 'guess i was more hurt than i thought.' He slowly rose to his feet, looking around and noticing that Jia was asleep while yenna was practicing her mana control.

'she is very determined, guess i should also start, can be slacking off now.' He got up, stretching his body and letting out a long sigh. He sat back down and began concentrating on his breathing, as he did that, his mind slowly began cutting off everything from the outside, this was the zone.

He dug deep within him, scanning everything trying to find this power but he couldn't find anything which was weird. He continued looking, minutes passed but still nothing. He stopped to catch his breath, his face looking annoyed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'shit, just where the hell is it? At this rate the days will be up without any progress, I cant let this power consume me....consume? it couldn't be...' He entered the zone again, searching but this time he scanned the outside of his body and spotted energy faster than expected.

'crap...the source of the energy....is me?' The words of the figure flashed in his mind, 'could this be what he meant, my true self?' He continued analysing this energy until he stopped at the symbols on his hand. 'A seal? strange...if there is a seal then why is the energy still around?' He could feel a strange energy from these circles, an energy so pure that it did not resonate with him.

'could it be.....that dream of being wasn't a dream? just who the hell was I?....well, for now let's just try and control this power.'

He reached out with his mind, trying to touch the energy that was emanating from his body. It was like a living thing, swirling around him, responding to his thoughts. He could feel it, sense its power, but he couldn't control it. It was wild, untamed, and it seemed to be mocking him, taunting him with its presence.

"Damn it," he muttered, frustration creeping into his voice. "I can feel it, but I can't grasp it."

He closed his eyes, trying to focus again, but the more he tried, the more elusive the energy became. It was like trying to catch smoke with his hands. He could see it, feel it, but it slipped through his fingers every time.

"Human?" a voice interrupted his concentration. He opened his eyes to see Jia standing a few feet away, her eyes filled with curiosity. "I can feel that evil energy, are you trying to control it? cause it doesn't seem to be going well."

"Hahh, yeah, its a lot harder than I expected, sorry if i disturbed yourself."

She stared at him and suddenly got annoyed, "tch, what's with this sad pathetic look you have on, i was beginning to respect you because of our spar, thinking you are a true warrior but this....this sight is just pitiful." She walked away, arms crossed and whispering to herself in annoyance.

'what's her problem?' He turned his attention back to Yenna, who was still meditating, her mana gently swirling around her like a soft breeze. She was so focused, so serene, and it made him wonder how she managed to maintain such composure in the face of his mana...she couldn't, she was struggling even though she was far.

Taking a deep breath, he tried a different approach. Instead of forcing control over the energy, he decided to observe it. Let it flow. If the energy was wild, maybe understanding its patterns would give him a way in. He focused, watching as the energy coiled and twisted around him like a living thing. It was chaotic, yet there was an odd rhythm to it, a pulse that felt... familiar.

'ok, i got the pattern down, now let's take the big step.'

He matched his breathing to the pulse of the energy, letting his own rhythm fall in line with its chaotic dance. Slowly, he began to notice the energy calming, its movements less erratic. The mocking presence he had felt earlier softened, almost as if it was acknowledging his effort.

He reached out with his mind again, but this time, instead of grasping at it, he simply guided it. The energy flowed through him, obeying his will, moving in patterns that he had once thought impossible. It was still wild, still untamed, but now it was under his control, at least to some extent.

A sense of triumph washed over him, "You are mine now fucker, not more causing trouble from you." He pushed himself up in the air, flipping and than landing gracefully. "And my cores are open again, should i test it out." He wound up a punch, concentrating and gathering this new power in his fist.

'hoho, this is scary.' He thought, his hands trembling, barely containing the power. He held his breath and punched with all his might, his form was not bad but the attack never when through. 'eh-' His body was sent flying at high speed, crashing into the wall.

Jia looked at him in confusion, "what's the human doing this time?" She began slowly walking over until a kick almost connected with her face. She jumped back, seeing Yenna standing in her way, her eyes furious and power pulsing around her body.

"what did you do to him?" Her hands twitch and her head was tilted like a feline looking at its prey.

"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't do anything." She glanced at Vell, who was groaning and trying to peel himself out of the wall. "Looks like your 'genius' human here just punched himself into oblivion."

"Don't lie to me! His energy shouldn't have reacted like that unless someone tampered with it. Why else would he lose control so suddenly?"

Jia raised her hands in mock surrender, though her tone remained sharp. "Whoa, chill, mana girl. I didn't touch him. Maybe he's just too dumb to handle his own power."

Her anger was over the edge now and she leaped at Jia, fury in her eyes.
