12 Numba 12

Inside of the mad titan Cronos, one could see what seemed like an endless forest, this endless forest was also rich as well in minerals, in one of the numerous caves which could be found one could see Leonardo sitting just behind a waterfall in a small cave.

Leonardo was sitting in one of the many rocks protruding from the cave was closing his eyes, meditating, meanwhile doing this he didn't make a single noise being the only thing which one could hear was the echo of the waterfall inside of the cave.

Being completely focused on himself, Leonardo was sitting silently being completely entranced by the sound of the current of water falling towards the rock and the lake below, hearing every single one of the drops fall Leonardo then started hearing other things.

From the distant sound of the wind howling to the sound of rocks crackling with each other on the nearby waterfall, Leonardo was hearing everything around him, but that was it, he was only hearing nothing else nothing more.

Leonardo knowing this stood calm, going back to hear the waterfall, this time Leonardo zoned out, putting his entire concentration on the waterfall, at first Leonardo was once again able to hear all the drops of water fall towards the lake making a drowned sound, but Leonardo soon enough started being able to feel a somewhat refreshing feeling on his mouth, his dry fingers felt as if they were wet, Leonardo was able to feel the droplets of water hitting his skin as if he was just below it.

Following that Leonardo suddenly felt a cold breeze around his body, passing by every part of his body, being followed by the sour taste of mud invading his mouth, also feeling it pass through his body, inserting inside on his skin just like it was trying to protect Leonardo.

That was not everything as he felt a strong and cold sensation taking shape on his lungs which suddenly felt much stronger than ever, expanding to every bone in Leonardo which even though had a chilly sensation, Leonardo didn't budge.

Following that Leonardo suddenly felt how a burning sensation appeared inside of him, passing through all his veins, but even though the feeling was hot it wasn't unpleasant, instead, it felt warm as if it was trying to make a balance between the cool feeling of both air and water.

Being also to recognize something growing through the small cave, roots started growing around him, making their branches surround different parts of the body of Leonardo being mostly on the forehead.

Being too immersed in the current changes his own body was passing through Leonardo didn't feel the sudden marks that started appearing just in his back, which was hidden by the same pajamas he had been wearing for years.

Slowly but surely Leonardo started to feel a connection to the things happening around him, instead of feeling or hearing it this time Leonardo simply knew what was happening around him, he had awakened what seemed a sixth sense.

Soon enough out of nowhere, pitch black lines started appearing on the back of Leonardo which started forming slowly but surely, making a total of 6 small circles which were connected by black lines with each other, suddenly the lines started glowing and rotating in a very high speed making a glowing circle on the back of Leonardo.

Suddenly from the glowing circle just like if it was water a sudden black glow also appeared taking up half of the circle, the glowing circle was now the symbol of yin and yang which slowly but surely started being absorbed by the body of Leonardo.

meanwhile, these was happening the elements which were revolving from in or out of Leonardo started to gather and condense themselves on small spheres of light that were different from each other.

finishing the process one by one the small spheres started fusing with the glowing symbol making the process of fusion much slower and careful, now being able of feeling the energy on his back.

Sweating a bit, Leonardo remained calm waiting patiently for the symbol to integrate with himself, even though the process couldn't be called pleasant, it wasn't unbearable, making the process even though long, manageable.

Finally feeling that the energy had finally mixed with himself Leonardo took a big breath, understanding that the process was finally over Leonardo simply sat there resting on the rock with both hands on it as well, just before he could do anything else a voice sounded beside him.

Oogway: so you finally did it, huh? took you a goddamn while.

Leonardo: shaddap, you're just jealous because of how incredible I am.

Said Leonardo meanwhile opening his eyes showing how in both of his eyes, the pupils had taken the form of the martial art symbol which disappeared the moment Leonardo blinked his eyes, feeling his own changes a small smirk reached the face of Leonardo which was accompanied by the grip of one of his hands.

Leonardo silently felt the overflowing power inside of him, Oogway didn't say anything looking at Leonardo, simply looking at him while using the rocky surface of the cave to maintain his balance.

Oogway: well, seems like the moment has arrived, you can no longer stay inside of Cronos anymore, you're too powerful for that.

Leonardo: haaah, how much time can I stay here without Cronos knowing anything?

Oogway: a little bit more than two weeks.

Hearing that Leonardo didn't say anything instead simply looked at Oogway, cutting the distance between the two of them in a flash Leonardo with a rarely seen smile asked Oogway in a confident voice.

Leonardo: well if we got so much time why don't we use it a little bit, sometimes is better to take a little break.

Hearing the happy mood Leonardo had, Oogway couldn't help but chuckle a bit but soon enough nodded meanwhile saying.

Oogway: sure, either way, I don't have anything else to do.

Hearing that Leonardo didn't say anything else instead simply started walking towards the direction, which the house he had been living for years stood in that direction, meanwhile walking Leonardo seemed to feel every plant they passed through with curious eyes.
