Chapter 8 - Chapter 6: Synchronization

As days pass on, she is able to feel the energy in the vicinity better and better as her string of subconscious thought seems to get stronger and more capable day by day. After a long time, she can finally identify different types of energy around her. She can't differentiate all of them properly but there seems to be one single energy that dominates all of them, be it with it's sheer quantity or quality.

This energy gives a unique perception of immeasurable depth to her. It has a soothing feeling of coldness but it is also warm and cosy at the same time. She can make out the way it moves as it flows through her, giving her a sense of calmness. However, she can also feel the unimaginable force of strength and rage hidden deep within. It's fluidity seems to urge her to go with it's flow, and when she tries resisting, she finds her energy being swept away by that force. Day by day, the energy gets accumulated inside of her and as it grows in amount, she finds herself more and more capable of discerning the mystical nature of this energy. It calls out to her to reach further and grasp its very essence, but she knows that she is nowhere near that stage.

One such day after repeating the same actions, she feels a change occurring to her and her energy. As the change occurs, she experiences a huge growth spurt accompanied by an unmatched amount of pain, threatening to destroy every inch of her body, inside and out. Her subconscious thought process shuts down as a defense mechanism to endure the inhumane pain. She doesn't know what had happened but when her thought process reboots, she basks in the amazing feeling of her overflowing strength.

She knows that she has grown, in every possible way. Her body seems to have physically developed with unique properties that she can use to attack and defend. She has no idea who/what she needs to harm or protect herself from but she welcomes these new strengths of hers. Her string of subconscious thought has also strengthened to the point that she is able to differentiate between all the different energy forms, elemental or non-elemental. She also finds that her body has been attuned to be better-suited for the fluid energy around her.

Slowly, she gets accustomed to her new body, it's strength and the increased perceptibility. As she explores her new abilities, she doesn't have much of a clue as to when they are to be used and for what situation. As, she has never been in contact with anyone or anything else except for the energy surrounding her, she doesn't have much experience with these things. Speaking of the energy surrounding her, she can feel the same energy that contributed to the development of her string of thought, but it is very miniscule in amount compared to other energy forms.

Believing that this energy seemed to be more beneficial to her, she tries to will the energy towards her. The energy however doesn't budge an inch. She tries in vain again and again, only to experience failure. She recharges her energy (metaphorical) seemingly out of nowhere and tries out various approaches to the problem. Yet, she can't seem to find any solution. She finally gives in and starts taking in other energy forms, but when she does, she also notices a tiny strand of the immovable energy being pulled along with the other energy forms.

Completely due to the instincts engrained in her, she managed to form a makeshift holding structure out of the other energy form and scooped up the strand of that specific energy form. She slowly brings it towards herself and succeeds in doing so. She doesn't feel any instantaneous change. Nonetheless, she repeats this process again and again. This seemed to prove useful as her thinking ability increases slowly, but surely. After what felt like eternity, her string of thought which has become a complicated nervous system of many such strings, a stream of memory hits her and she blacks out.

A monotonous male voice rings out in the background.
