Chapter 252 Lilith

I dropped down with Eve, however my consideration stored getting drawn to the storm that raged like nothing I had ever seen earlier than. I knew this place was inside the large storm identified on Earth because the Pink Eye however seeing the clouds whipping round was like watching them in fast-forward. It was unusual, to say the least.

“What’s that?” I requested, and Eve turned to take a look at me.

“That’s the storm that our world revolves round. It’s known as the Nice Pink Eye, and it has been right here for so long as anybody can keep in mind. It’s only a storm brought on by the planet’s climate system, however it is usually the supply of our energy,” Eve defined, and I frowned. n/.o(-V()E)-l/-B)-1/.n

“What do you imply?” I requested, and Eve turned again to take a look at the storm.

“The Nice Pink Eye is the supply of our energy. It’s what offers us our lengthy life, our energy, and our talents. Additionally it is what offers us our connection to the divine,” Eve defined, and I frowned.

“What do you imply by the divine?” I requested, and Eve turned again to take a look at me.

“The Nice Pink Eye is claimed to be the attention of the creator. It’s stated that whoever can management the Nice Pink Eye can management complete planets. However that’s only a legend,” Eve defined, and I frowned.

“So, this eye is sort of a god?” I requested, and Eve nodded her head.

“In a approach, sure. However it isn’t a god that we worship. It’s extra like a pressure that we revere. It’s the supply of our energy, and we owe our allegiance to it,” Eve defined, and I frowned.

“So, you might be saying that this eye is what offers you your lengthy life, your energy, and your talents?” I requested, and Eve nodded her head.

“Sure, however it is usually a double-edged sword. The longer we reside, the extra energy the Nice Pink Eye takes from us. It’s stated that someday, the Nice Pink Eye will devour us all,” Eve defined, and I frowned.

“So, the Nice Pink Eye is sort of a god that you just worship, however it is usually a pressure that takes away your energy and will ultimately kill you?” I requested, and Eve nodded her head.

“Sure, however it’s a worth that we’re prepared to pay. The Nice Pink Eye is the supply of our energy, and with out it, we’d be nothing,” Eve defined, and I frowned.

“So, you might be saying that the Nice Pink Eye is the supply of your energy, however it is usually a pressure that takes away your energy and will ultimately kill you. Is that appropriate?” I requested, and Eve nodded her head.

“Sure, that’s appropriate. Now, come, we should go,” Eve stated, and I frowned as I adopted her down to an enormous dome that was white with traces of gold working down it.

There was one thing about what she had stated that made me uneasy, however I could not fairly place it. Perhaps it was simply the truth that they had been worshipping one thing that might ultimately kill them. Or perhaps it was one thing else completely. I did not know, however I might have to consider it later. For now, I needed to concentrate on the duty at hand.

Eve led me into a big room that had a lady floating in the course of it. The girl was lovely with lengthy white hair and silver eyes. She was carrying a skin-tight go well with just like Eve’s and my very own, however hers was blue and white.

“That is your coach and trainer, Lilith. She would be the one who trains you for the subsequent 12 months,” Eve stated, and I frowned.

“Why aren’t you coaching me?” I requested, and Eve shook her head.

“I’m not sturdy sufficient to coach you. Lilith is the one one who is powerful sufficient to coach you. Now, I need to go. Lilith will handle you from right here,” Eve stated, after which she circled and began to stroll away. The doorway we entered by closed behind Eve, and I turned to face the draconic girl that floated within the heart of the room watching me.

“Hey, my title is Lilith. I will probably be your coach and trainer for the subsequent 12 months. Please comply with me,” Lilith stated, after which she circled and began to drift away.

I frowned as I adopted behind her. That was abrupt, and I did not know what to anticipate from this 12 months, however I must take advantage of it. I wanted to get stronger, and this was the easiest way to do it.

I used to be taken to the middle of the dome, and it seemed a lot larger from the surface, however there was one thing unusual about it. There have been gold orbs a few foot extensive masking the complete inside the place. The ground was additionally product of what seemed like a transparent crystal.

“What is that this place?” I requested as I seemed round, and Lilith floated over to one of many orbs.

“That is the central coaching room. It’s the place you can be spending most of your time for the subsequent 12 months,” Lilith defined, and I frowned.

“What is that this place for?” I requested, and Lilith turned to take a look at me.

“That is the place you can be coaching your physique and thoughts to manage your powers. The orbs across the room are known as Energy Orbs. They are going to enable you to focus and management your powers. The ground is product of a particular crystal that can assist to soak up your energy and stop you from harming your self or others. Now, please stand within the heart of the room,” Lilith defined, and I did as I used to be bid.

I stood within the heart of the room, and Lilith floated over to me earlier than gesturing to the ground. The ground began to glow, and I felt my ft begin to sink into the ground. I attempted to maneuver, however I could not. It was like my ft had been glued to the ground.

“What’s going on?” I requested, and Lilith turned to take a look at me.

“The ground is absorbing your energy. It’s to forestall you from harming your self or others. Now, I would like you to focus your energy in your proper hand and attempt to punch the Energy Orb in entrance of you,” Lilith defined, and I frowned.

I did as I used to be bid, and I targeted my energy into my proper hand earlier than throwing a punch on the Energy Orb. The Orb glowed for a second earlier than shattering, and I used to be blasted again by a pressure that I could not see. I hit the group of the gold balls arduous earlier than sliding to the ground.

“What the hell was that?” I requested as I pushed myself up off the ground and rubbed my sore hand. It felt like I had simply hit a brick wall.

“That was your energy. The Energy Orbs are designed that can assist you focus and management your energy. Now, attempt it once more,” Lilith stated, and I frowned as I received again into place.

This time, I targeted my energy on my proper hand earlier than throwing a punch on the Energy Orb. The Orb glowed for a second however did not shatter. I used to be nonetheless blasted again once more, however my hand did not harm almost as a lot because it did earlier than.

“Good, you might be progressing. Now, attempt it once more,” Lilith stated, and I frowned as I received again into place.

I took in a deep breath and tried to heart myself earlier than I targeted my energy into my proper hand and threw a punch on the Energy Orb. The Orb did not glow and did not shatter. I used to be nonetheless blasted again. This time, I did not hit something, and I floated within the air for a second earlier than dropping again right down to the ground.

“What occurred?” I requested as I received again into place.

Lilith smiled at me. “You lastly managed your energy sufficient to not shatter the Orb,” Lilith defined, and my eyes widened in shock.

So, that was what it took? Management? However how was I supposed to manage one thing that I could not even see?

“This is not how my energy works, so I do not perceive how I’m supposed to manage one thing that I am unable to really management. How do I try this?” I requested in confusion. I had been making an attempt, however every time I received blasted again, it was like my complete physique and cell had been hit with the blast.

“For this reason you need to be taught management. It’s the solely approach that it is possible for you to to make use of your energy with out harming your self or others. Now, attempt it once more,” Lilith stated, and I took in a deep breath earlier than making an attempt once more.

I attempted for hours, however it doesn’t matter what I did, I could not management my energy. It was like making an attempt to manage the wind. Regardless of how arduous I attempted, I could not do it. Finally, Lilith known as a halt to the coaching for the day, and I used to be taken again to my room, the place I used to be left alone. I felt abused, and I had a headache that I ought to have been capable of remedy, but it surely simply would not go away.

I flopped again down into the mattress and immediately relaxed because the therapeutic properties Eve had talked about. I assume this was the explanation for it. The harm the Energy Orbs had completed to me had rocked my physique in the course of the coaching, however this go well with prevented me from remodeling. I had additionally tried one thing issues, however every time, I simply received the facility focusing to random locations in my physique. I did not assume that these individuals had been evil, however this go well with did put me in a precarious place. What in the event that they determined to make use of me as a weapon? I may destroy complete planets if I needed to…

The thought made me sick to my abdomen, and I pressured myself to settle down. There was no level in worrying about issues that will or could not occur. I wanted to concentrate on the right here and now, and that was coaching to manage my energy in order that I did not harm anybody. With that thought in thoughts, I lastly fell right into a deep sleep.
