kinda short, but i´ll update tomorrow
Chapter 7: Bason, I really want it!
REN´S POV
So we lost the X-laws and Hao´s men. We are currently walking through the path that leads to the Patch village. We´ve been walking it for a couple of hours now and have entered a cave. It´s kind of a maze. To me, it´s obvious this is some sort of test. This must be the Great Spirits´s way of choosing the selected shamans for the next stage of the Tournament.
I can feel my excitement growing. Such a feeling of exhilaration has taken over my whole body that I can hardly focus on the way. I know we´re getting close, I can sense it. The passage keeps getting darker and it seems to never end, but I´m confident we just have to be patient, we´ll get there.
After several hours of walking and some complaining from the others, I finally see a bright light ahead where the path seems to end and a sensation of adrenaline overcomes me, and from what I can see at my sides, I´m not the only one. We hurry eagerly towards the light, get closer, the light nearly blinding to my eyes, get even closer, almost there…….
Strange visions come to my head, hallucinations. They look ancient. Somehow, I know I´m watching the past. It´s not quite like a movie, more like a very vivid dream, as though I´m part of it. Like I´m part of that past.
It´s like just a few seconds pass when I regain consciousness. But I wasn't unconscious at all. It´s as though I´ve been standing in the same spot all the time, but my vision has been centred somewhere else, inside of me.
But now I can see further on. I am in a strange place and I vaguely register very old houses in what looks like a small town. Somewhere in my mind, I get the fact that I must have reached the Patch village, but my eyes have only one focal point. My whole attention is on one thing right in front of me.
The Great Spirits. I can see millions and millions of souls united in one big entity. It doesn't have a very specific form and it changes shape constantly. It is a striking sight, beautiful. Completely mesmerizing. I can´t tore my eyes away. I don't recall ever feeling more fascinated with anything else in my life.
Totally enthralled, I can feel my eyes widening and my legs taking me nearer to this magnificent view. I make my way to a better place to see it properly. In no time, I climb a couple of buildings and get there. The wind hits my face, messing my hair, but my eyes stay wide open.
"Master" I distantly hear Bason calling "Is everything alright?"
"Yes, stay quiet, Bason" I murmur, standing there, observing this glorious perfection.
I stand there for more than an hour before I can actually speak properly "Wonderful" I tell Bason "So this is the Great Spirit" An instinctive smirk forms in my lips "Bason, I really want it!" I say vehemently.
Bason seems to have caught on to the big moment this is, because with a similar intensity, he responds "Yes, master"
Suddenly, I feel a hand softly touch my shoulder. I turn my head slightly to find Mariana smiling gently at me. I half smirk at her and she takes my hand. She walks to stand beside me and together, we watch the Great Spirit.
At this very moment, I feel a comprehension come to me. This is my moment. This is my opportunity. My chance has come. I just have to be prepared to risk it all, to do anything, to fight with everything I have. It is now or never. This is my moment.
