The Mind

The human mind operates in mysterious and complex ways. It has the power to motivate and inspire, but it can also be a source of excuses and self-limitations. The mind's potential is vast, only constrained by the limitations of the body and the mental state of the individual.

Madame Althea said, she had a stern gaze it revealed that she could see into a person's very soul and read what they were thinking she continued "But one must remember, the only true limit to a person's mind is themselves,"she said her face grew one of gloom then added "but there are ways when even the mind wants to limit it self in your case this is called ptsd"

"...it has been sometime now after i was discharged from the hospital i have felt fine but after the training started i would have sudden panic attacks and i would even see people faces covered with that of a clowns mask , at first i wasn't bothered by this i knew that the clowns were powerful but from theses people i felt like i was safe not in danger in away , my body would still shake from time to time after seeing a clown's mask " Alex said he looked at his palms they were covered in sweat Alex looked pale it was like he was trying to not remember something Althea opened her mouth to speak

"..when you were in a coma you would have a sudden outburst your body would shake, it was like seeing someone experience a grave nightmare that they cannot escape so i looked deep into your soul and what i saw was pure hell so i locked those memories away"Madame Althea said

"i know this already that's kinda the point of me coming here every day.." Alex said in frustration

"you need to know this stuff so that i don't forget, besides during these past few days you have grew accustomed to these memories , but in case i have to check up on your mental state every now and then" Madame Althea replied, the two talked for two hours they went back and forth over and over again when she started to see that time was up Alex got up from his sit then he went to the front door of the shop there he saw Aaliyah she was wearing a black windbreaker with a cream shirt and some jeans with a simple pair of shoes her hair was in a messy bun

"guess like the two of you are done .. im gonna go in now, see ya some other time " Aaliyah smiled then walked by Alex she then went to the back where Alex once was

...

Alex was in a newer house it was clean and there were lights the fridge was filled with food and the bathroom had flowing hot water he looked at himself in the mirror he could see that he was building up a little muscle. he took a shower after he was finished he went to the living room there was a large box on the oak wood coffee table the box read"from leo" Alex took a deep breath then opened the box

the inside of the box had a black orb inside Alex recognised it to be one of those floating machines that could send holograms

there was a button on the top Alex pushed it then a voice appeared

[please fill out a name ]

Alex thought for a few seconds then he typed in

[Alexander]

the orb glowed a faint blue then it showed a hologram of Leo wearing a black and white suite Bargi was also there he had a rose in his mouth they were doing a weird pose

"the hell are they doing?" Alex said bells voice echoed through Alex's head

{they were still worried about you so they must have done this for you...even thought this wouldn't really do anything} Bell said aries voice then echoed through his head she said

[It's the thought that counts beside they look.... like i said it's the thought that counts] Alex chuckled he face curled up into a smile then he thought i wonder if that future that Bell showed me will come through..' Alex's dry chuckle turned to a sloom look he turned his gaze to the gift he thought am i ever gonna regain my memories?' he asked himself

...

Alex grabbed a mat then sat down he then took the Lotus position as aries had told him

"what do i do now?" Alex asked the voices Aries didn't reply for a while then she said

[clear your mind of all the things that bother you] she said her voice was calm and natural alex felt a gentle tingle down his back it filled him with energy and joy.Alex felt more realex he felt like the weight of the entire world had disappeared in that moment he wanted to open his eyes buy he had stopped himself , a bright light started to surround him it made him feel energetic it was like his battery were being refilled being near this energy ,Alex wanted to feel this energy he reached out his arms to touch it but he couldn't the energy just faded from his hand [good you connected with the atmosphere ether , in my opinion it's not the best thing to do but your at a low level so you need it , now pull the ether to your core].

Alex tried what Aries said but the outcome was negative bell then gave a suggestion{think of the ether around you of fragments that need to be put together} Alex thought for a moment' why would i think of them as fragments? unless...they could be broken pieces to a puzzle and to put them together i have to place them into my core...' Alex then tried Bells suggestion he thought of the fragments as puzzles and the core was were the puzzles need to go it worked Alex felt a huge sense of relief he didn't want to stop he did this for ten minutes.

alex chest started to tighten it felt like someone was trying to take out his heart [Alex stop!] yelled Aries her voice was of anger [Alex what the hell were you thinking you could have exploded your core] Aries said bell added in{you need to know that there are limits to the things you can do i know you want to get stronger but don't sacrifice yourself for that} bell said his voice was tinged with that of sadness aries added in[we are all wretched beings searching for strength even if that strength is stolen or borrowed from something else even if it means making a deal with the devil himself humans and gods themself are that desperate for power] Aries said but she seemed sad after she said this 'could what she said be related to her past?'.

"..sorry i won't do that again so don't worry" Alex said he opened his eyes then go up off the mat then went to bed he calmed all of his thoughts down then he finally manged to sleep, the dream was very strange the ground was covered in greens even the city it self Alex looked at the old broken down buildings they held the bodies of the dead

BOOM! alex heard a large sound that came from the distance the sky darkened ashes fell from the sky Alex say the red flag of lumani Alex was horrified at the scene he ran the opposite direction afraid of what made the explosion he ended up running to the city square he had never been there.

he saw a large tree there sat a lady covered in greens she wore them as a bikini her skin was of a pale green her hair was of a lime green her face were filled with many holes, the holes moved around just looking at the holes made him felt like he was losing it in the tree there were sacks they looked to be the size of a single person.

BOOM!

BAM!

a man with darkened skin held a scythe in hand he wore an armor covered in a rusty black color his hair were locked every time he swinged the scythe it damaged every nearby building Alex didn't get to see the person he was fighting in that moment he was pulled out of that dream.
