8 chapter 8

Xin walk toward the mirror without hesitation and full of excitement, then he looked around with a grin pasted on his face and trembling by the excitement, he will finally begin to cultivate and obtaining his own martial soul, since he saw his father's soul and his mother's soul. (he saw his mother's 2 week after seeing the one from his father, it was a flower, a red rose, beautiful but wich can defend herself with her thorns, like his mother)

Then he turned his head toward the adult beside him with an eager look on his face.

«You just need to want to see your self and asking it in your head while looking toward the mirror, then it wil begin. »

Xin acted like instructed with a smile which would have make the inhabitant of Earth the Cheschire cat.

Suddenly, everything became dark and after a couple of seconds a little white flame began to apparate in front of Xin in the same place of the mirror, it was as if it was always here but we just take the veil which block our eyes. After a few seconds, a trendemous noise could be heard all around the mysterious place surprising Xin, it was as if a huge and mounstruous beast growl, waken by Xin when he came in this dark space.

Then a firefly began to grow before him, from a firefly it became a ball of flame, from the ball it take the size of a hill, from a hill it became a mountain and from a mountain it became a white sun so dazzling the Xin need to protect his eyes with his hand to countinue looking.

-« Hello Xin, how are you? » Said the White sun

-« Fine thank you, but where are you ? » asked Xin with a voice full of curiosity, it was strange that someone talk to him as if he was in his head, especially if he was already inside thanks to the mirror.

It was understanble with all the things that happens in a few moments.

-« In front of you Xin, we are in your head like you imagined. I am your martial soul, the sum of your memories, your personality and your soul. In fact I am also your subconscious so now will be the first and last time we will be able to talk together » said the voice with a laughter, it seem to be amused by the turn of events.

-« You seem to be pretty well informed of this situation. » said Xin toward the flame.

-« Remember, I am you subconscious and your soul, so I am a fusion of all the memories you have, those you remember or not, the cerebral capacity you don't use, and your System. So I have a formidable understanding and calculative capability because you can say that I use all your potential in this moment, but it came with a price, despite the accelerate time here it will not be long or you can suffer from severe neurological damage, a normal human wasn't born for this influx of informations and comprehanding them.

You don't have better question ? It is not everyday that you can talk to your brain. »

-« What martial soul are you? » asked Xin in excitement.

-« I am a simple cell.» said the flame with a voice full of joy, we can hear the grin he should be made if he had a mouth.

-« A cell. » said Xin with frown until a revelation struck him.

It was surprising for him, a sudden flame appeared before him and became a sun, everything point to the idea that his martial soul was a fire type, not a simple cell.

-« It seem you don't understood why I look like this while I am a cell. » said the flame after "seeing" the face of Xin and by beeing him he naturally know what he thinks obviously.

«I am a cell but don't understimate a cell, the cell is the base of life, there exist living organisms solely composed of a single cell, you can say that I am a physical symbole of life, the flame of life. It is why I am like this.»

«But what can I do ? » asked Xin. He know he doesn't have much time left so it wasn't the time to laze around, he need to be the lost prepared.

«Don't forget, evrything that live is composed by cells, cells can become anythings, they can change and adapt to anythings, don't forget, it mmay be the weakest soul ever existing but it is also the most promising, you understand now ? » answered the sun.

« Then it struck Xin, evrything in the world is balanced and everything has a cost, his was a weak strengh, we can even said that he don't have any, but for this weakness he gain a strengh, the strengh of evolution, a good exemple of this fact is the idea of darwin, he can adapt to what he confront, to what he need. The soul don't have a foundation like a strong body but he can can creat his own, the largest and strongest he could ever imagine.

Then the world around Xin and the firefly began to disintegrate.

-« It's time to leave now. » said the flame which disappear in bubble of light which enter the body of Xin in a dazzling flash.

Suddenly, Xin returned in front of the mirror as fast as it disappeared a few minutes ago with a boy in front of it full of reflexions, he know that he just began to grasp the full potentiel of his soul but it was already promising for the futur if he don't die before he can develop.

Then he check his status to know what changed, and it bring him joy to see that it really changed with his awakening.
