Ansem Report 17:

When you create life, you automatically create a heart. How can this be? I seek to know what causes it, the creation of a heart from nothing. If what I say is true, then the answer must be here, buried somewhere in the secret of life.

I have taken to my library in search of works by Drs Finklestein and Frankenstein, who are most familiar in this subject. According to them, the "secret" of life is merely electricity, or the element Lightning.

Theoretically, all elements are equal. But, even further investigation has brought to light something it seems even the Ancient Ones were careless enough to miss... Many of the elements, though hailed for their attractive magical appeal, are not true energies!

Light and darkness are not elements, so they mustn't be confused.

The chart below displays my understanding:

Lightning - electricity - energy
Fire - heat - energy
Air - matter
Wind - air - matter
Water - matter
Ice - water - matter
Metal - matter
Earth, stone - matter
Earth, nature - life(vibrancy) - mako - energy

Lightning.
Fire.
And Life.

Life is the end result, sparked by lightning; "the spark of life". So, Fire must be the key... Could there then be some hidden truth in the poet's conceptualization of the heart as a fiery inferno? I wonder...


A/N: For those of you who read the old AR16, I got some pretty good feedback from my little brother and rewrote the whole darn thing to "actually reveal something". And now I'm like, happy:-D

And about the theory itself, I'm probably going to insert one or two more reports in between this report and AR15(the one currently just before this) for organizational reasons, if nothing else... But it depends on how the next few reports I write turn out... Wish me luck! There is still much to say!

PS: Constructive feedback is much appreciated, but feel free to drop a comment if you still just liked it anyway. :-)
(side note: I take criticism well, so just do me the favor of a lifetime and speak your mind...c'ept no flamers, as is customery. b)


...some time later... Just so you know, I have now inserted a new Report before this.
