Transformation of The Mind and Body

"So.. he's been like this the whole morning?" Thomas asked, "I just want to confirm, since it looks like he's…"

"Dead? I know, and he isn't even breathing," The blonde-haired female named Scarlett replied, "Even I'm not sure what happened.."

Nathan was lying on his bed, unconscious, and his veins were glowing a strange golden colour, and not only that, but his whole body was changing shape.

His bones were breaking apart into dust and reforming back again, this time strengthened and the process repeating again, his organs were absorbing and blood were absorbing the power that came from the lotus flower hidden inside his consciousness, and even his mind was changing.

His blood turned into a transparent, yellowish white colour, and even his heart was glowing and glistening with the power of Creation.

They couldn't even touch him, as they would immediately start to feel a burning sensation, so they just looked at the excruciating process Nathan was going through.

Luna was distressed, and she didn't even know what was happening to him, she was just hoping that he would survive.

"Luna.." Dean was also quite worried for Nathan, and knew that if Nathan was to meet his demise here, things would most certainly take a turn for the worse.

"We have to tell the instructor before we do anything rash," Athena said, "Since we all have the same reaction, I'm sure none of us know what's happening to him right now, it could be possible that he's slowly dying.."

"Yeah, the instructor should know what's happening to him, we should go get him quickly-"

"Wait," Scarlett said, "If I use my inner core energies to access his inner consciousness, I could find out what's wrong with him."

"You could something like that??"

"Then why didn't you say that in the first place?" Aiden questioned, he was concerned for Nathan, but other than that, he didn't think he had almost anything to do with this situation, so he decided to refrain from speaking too much.

"I might've realised what was truly happening to this Nathan person, and if I'm right, then things could get very interesting." Scarlett said, "But, I'll have to use my ability to break down his mental fortitude, if that's the case."

Scarlett approached his bed, and put her palm on his head, and a few moments later, his body convulsed, and the amount of energy released was able to shake the entire building, but, in an instant, it stopped.

Her eyes closed, and she was able to enter Nathan's consciousness.

"Huh?"

She appeared inside a void, stars glistening all around her, yet she felt like she was stuck in place.

"Urgh…"

Scarlett thought breaking through Nathan's mental fortitude was surprising hard, which she found strange, and she was even more surprised to find out that his consciousness was far more complex than she would've first imagined.

She saw a river of golden drops flowing above her, which seemed to endlessly flow through this void, and that river was the home of many creatures, including those that she had never seen before.

She activated her ability, and wielded her katana gracefully, unleashing a powerful slash that could part clouds, however, in this space it could do nothing.

"Then, I'll have to try harder!" She yelled, and with her full force, she slashed again, and this time she was able to create a hole in this space.

"A tear? No, this tear in his consciousness was there from the start, somehow, I was able to widen a hole in this void, but this wasn't what I was aiming for.."

"If this continues on, the tear will grow bigger, and eventually.. but, this hole was bound to open up by itself.. so just where did it originate from?"

"I guess I need to root out the source of the problem then."

After carefully examining the tear, she entered, and she found herself in what could be called, a vortex of chaos.

Different energies from other planes of existence leaked into this space, and started to collide together inside this sea of unending chaos.

Remnants of powerful forces and influences have influenced this chaos world highly, turning it into a storm that normally nobody would be able to enter through normal means.

Unexpectedly, a strange force pulled her out before she got swept up in that whirlwind of distortion.

"I.. I almost got erased completely.." She gasped for air, completely terrified at what she just witnessed, "Just who is this Nathan guy?"

The strange energies were leaking out into Nathan's consciousness at a fast pace, and somehow, it was integrating itself with the Sea of Creation, turning it into a spiral of golden liquid, something that only those who have transcended could comprehend.

"I can't believe it.. the chaotic energy integrated into Nathan's consciousness.."

"If he wakes up, he'll be able to shake worlds to their cores. Unfortunately, he only has a 1% chance of actually surviving."

"The only way that I can help him, is by letting fate do the rest."

She left Nathan's consciousness, only the find the four of them, very much awaiting his awakening from his very torturous slumber.

"His condition seems to have stabilised, but, what happened to his physique? It looks like he trained for thousands of years, and.. that glowing mark on the center of his forehead, what is that?"

"I don't know, you tell me. Just what happened inside his consciousness?" Athena asked, "Has it gotten better?"

"No, instead, it somehow got worse."

"Worse!?! But how, he looks perfectly fine!"

They were all worried, but they showed that in very different ways.

"When I used my ability, Sword Tempers The Mind, it turned out that somehow, his consciousness contained a rift leading to a Sea of Chaos, which integrated into his own mind."

"He only has a slight chance of survival, spanning from 0.00001%, to 1%."

"I suggest that you tell the instructor so he can stabilise his condition before he eventually starts to convulse again, and put Nathan in a Cryo Chamber."

"I.. if Nathan doesn't survive, then.." Luna choked, she was by far the most worried out of all of them, no words could describe how close their relationship was before all this happened.

"Then, I'll go and get the instructor, you guys wait here," Thomas said, "Let's be patient, our friend wouldn't give up so easily."
