Chapter 26 (Myriad Vision)

Seeing the world from another view was a truly wonderful experience.

This world was my new home, and with this, I took the first step in my long journey.

I could clearly see light Green color hue was going inside mother and Several color dots like Red, blue, dark green, brown were floating around and most of it was neutral whitish color mana.

[Little alan, you are getting naughty, whenever I leave you alone you go do this and that and now you fell and had such an injury what would happen if you had a serious injury.

I know you don't know what I am blabbering on and on, but I know you are my child I hope you understand how much I love and care for you, you are my everything, you understand this right]

Mother's eyes were wet and on her face was a smile, seeing her actions made me understand how selfish I was, it's not me alone now, I need to think about my family also before taking such actions of self-harm again. I secretly vowed inside my heart to never do anything that would bring tears to my parent's eyes.

Mother cuddled me in her embrace and slowly swung me like a cradle, I was still seeing various colors of mana but I was now beginning to feel exhausted, and with mother humming entering my ear, my eyes became heavy and I fell asleep exhausted but truly satisfied.

After a few Ticks, I again woke up and it was already Dawn, when I again opened my eyes, I was disappointed.

The world has returned to its normal boring colors, the air was again normal not filled with myriad colors, I soon realized that my vision returned to normal.

What was that phenomenon, was it a one-time thing, or was it some kind of hallucination I was having when mother was healing my wound.

I was confused, So I took a deep breath again calmed down my nerves, and started to retrace my steps.

Not be able to see colors. current situation.

Able to see myriad colors before sleep

Mother healing me causes me to detect mana inside me.

I completed my breathing exercises before fall.

Yes, I forget a small point there was a light pain in the area around my eyes before I started seeing all colors, what was that? I again concentrated around my eyes, closing my eyes I just focused on my eyes, I could feel like a little crawling feeling followed by pain, it was such a minute pain that I would not have noticed if not I was focusing on it.

As soon as I felt pain, I again opened my eyes, and the scene before me made me sigh in relief. I was able to see again in myriad colors.

I think I get it now, I was able to subconsciously somehow guide the mana in blood and that was the reason for this view... hmm... do all others can do the same... or am I special ... let's not dwell on that. But wait let's see, to remember the first spell I created, at least I think it's a spell, let's name it.

So I should call it .... Myriad Vision.

I continued using myriad vision to observe every nook and cranky I was able to see while being confined inside the pillow fortress that my mother built around me. I could see mana entering or flowing like a river from one window panel and exiting from another.

But suddenly I again felt that strange exhaustion that I felt before, I have already thought about that too, I know that I must be running out of mana, as I have a limited amount that I can store in my body and that might be the reason for exhaustion, and this implied that I have reached my limit. Without risking anything I again closed my eyes and when I opened it again they were back to normal as I expected, but this time when I tried to channel mana towards eyes, there was nothing there.

now that I think about it, my Breathing Excercise that I was planning to use to form or fill core was not necessarily a failure, when I was sleeping I should have recovered some mana without me knowing due to unconscious use of breathing exercises, but that took me like half-ray and the available use was like less than a quarter tick, so I need to figure out the perfect way to form a breath style.

I again went through all my experiences that I went through till no and also that I went through in past, all the hardships I went through all the rough battle I fought, all that I lost all that lead to the greater good, I was ready to sacrifice myself since I had nothing to lose, but it's not the same now, I can't breathe the same way I did in past, I can't live the same way I did in past, I have to live up to name bestowed upon me by my Mother and Papa.

"My breath should be Loud as Thunder and at the same time, it should be as quiet as a falling feather. It Should be Fast as Lightning and at the same time slow as a snail. It should maintain the balance between everything, it should be hot as fire and cool as Ice, it should be hard as a rock and soft as a cloud, it should be strict as Natures law and at the same time adaptable as air, it should possess everything and at the same time nothing."

Thinking about all the adventures I went through in my previous life, all the myriad things that I saw in my life, my experiences, my defeats, thousands of deaths, the birth of a child, darkest hours, brightest hopes, impossible turning into possible, this is what shaped me to who I was today and that is what my breath would be...

If I choose to have the same breath as in the past what would be the difference, I want to be better, I want to undo all wongs, I want to redeem myself, I want to be the best of me,...

Thus my breath will have not only my characteristics but all my experiences and all that will shape my breath... and my breath is what will be the first step to a better me.

It will be my Breathing Style, AlAN MARVERIC's Breath.

Slowly the breath style formulated, once a fast and turbulent wind was calm and peaceful now, it was like under the deep blanket of ice laid a hibernating Beast,

Once a sovereign who walked proudly in the heavens, now born as a lowly human, Took its first new breath that one day would shake thrones of gods and make demons shiver.
