/ Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 84 Infernal Prison Dimension X : Khan
But the body is also a cage, a trap that dulls our true senses, it is why most spirit Kings spend years, dozens to hundreds, to thousands to millions meditating or sleeping trying to unravel the secrets of the universe. In a nutshell spirit Kings achieve the greatest of all feats when they're disconnected from their mortal coil, and no feat could be greater or more beautiful than the birth of a spirit Kings first spirit. The very foundation and base for his future spirits!}
ANCIENT TEACHINGS OF THE FIRST SPIRIT KING
When Alex opened his eyes, he was within his mantle, Ébié and Nezha's gates were wide open, and he could hear their voices as they conversed over him. He got up to a sitting position as they ceased their discussion, Alex wondered what it was they were talking about.
"Looks like your awake, good! There are somethings that you need to know, to prepare you for your next step." Alex blinked his eyes at sound of Nezha's voice, he was still a little out of sorts, but he could understand what was being said. Alex looked around and noticed a ball of light on his chest, it was pulsing, very much in a manner that was akin to a heartbeat.
"Don't panic! Your embryonic spirit is being born, you have to connect to it and create a pact, then it would be fully revealed and it's connection to you will give it a physical form in the real world."
Alex was confused, Nezha never really explained how he would contract his embryonic spirit, and right now it was happening! He was completely caught off guard, he didn't know the first thing to do, and all Nezha was doing was giving orders without clear instructions.
"Can't you see you're confusing him! Master an Embryonic spirit is born when a spirit king finds a location of power or experiences a moment of spiritual enlightenment. The spirit born is not necessarily tied to the location of power , but rather by fate and the universe itself. But this only regards to a spirit king, for spirits that are born, they're always born at the embryonic stage, which is more like a cocoon for them. Only after a certain amount of time would they make the jump to the proper rank they're meant to be.
Be that as it may, to birth this spirit, you need to see it with your anima, combine The power of your soul, mind and body and connect with it. Because right now all it has is a spirit and soul, it's mind is no yet formed, neither does it have a body, it is up to you to give it such by connecting with it...you have to name it!"
Not that her explanation made anything easier for Alex, but Ébié was more helpful than Nezha. Alex would prefer to do this later, considering the last thing he remembers was falling into a hole with the ashes and burnt bodies of over a dozen Naga following after him, but if doing this would get him out here as fast as possible and back to his friends, then he would put all of his focus on it.
Alex crossed his legs and calmed his breathing, he didn't know the first thing about combining his soul, mind and spirit to manifest his anima, but basically his anima is his consciousness. Cultivators use that a lot to check their bodies, so it shouldn't be too hard, to use...…hopefully.
Alex moved his focus to the sphere of light on his chest, it was tiny, about the size of baseball, but to Alex it felt like it had the weight of a twenty ton rock, but that was just a perception. He wasn't really feeling the weight, but his mind made him perceive it as so. A sliver of his Anima touched the sphere, and it bounced back, causing him a bit of a headache.
Alex was confused, but nevertheless he tired again, and the same thing happened, and again and again with absolutely no luck or success, until all he had was an incredibly fierce pounding headache. He heard rustling, almost as if someone was about to say something, but then silence, they wanted to help, but it seems this part was something he had to do on his own. Alex calmed himself down, trying his best to ignore the droning in his head as he spread his Anima around the sphere.
This time he chose a gentle approach, he caressed the sphere like it was an egg, then softly poked and prodded at it, until suddenly there was no Sphere, only a weird looking weasel, hedgehog, dog like creature. It was obviously still a baby, because it was so tiny, it floated about with it's eyes closed and a thin coating of pink fluid was on it. Its body was slick with those fluids, giving it a look as if it has just been born, which technically is also true.
There was a cool breeze being blown around, and it seemed centered around the creature. It's tail was twice as long as it's body, and it's fur was similar to that of a hedgehog. There were no sharp spikes, but the hair stood on end in large clusters, making it seem like the spines of a hedgehog. It had the face of a dog, like a cute little puppy, and on it's legs, there were tiny nubs that glinted.
There was a connection to it, but it was quite faint, Alex heard Nezha's breathing, and it was getting really frantic. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he couldn't until Alex was done with the entire process. Alex looked at the seemingly dead creature, because as beautiful as it looked, it wasn't breathing or showing any signs of life. And then he gave it a name.
"Khan!" and then Nezha cursed out loud.
"FUCK!"
But whatever the reason for his curses, Alex couldn't focus on that at the moment as the creature's eyes snapped open, and all Alex could see was only blackness. An inky soul swallowing blackness that only had one person in it's sight, and that was Alex. Whatever Wind that was holding the creature aloft disappeared and Alex had to quickly stretch forth his hands to catch it, the palm size creature whined a bit with it's pup like voice, when suddenly a screen showed up in front of Alex.
• SPIRIT NAME: Khan
• SPIRIT RACE: Kamaitachi
• SPIRIT RANK: Embryonic
• SPIRIT SCHOOL: N/A
• SPIRIT SKILLS: (Wind Coat: Level 1)
"It's a bloody Kamaitachi, those things are as bloodthirsty and as evil as one would get in a spirit. Sure it looks cute now, but wait until it gets to the soldier rank and starts mastering the skills from it's schools. They're malevolent spirits Alex, bad omens to say the least. Usually spirit Kings get spirits that compliment their character and attitude or make up for their shortcomings in behaviors and mettle. This thing would cause a lot of problems for you." Nezha said with a bitter tone in his voice, however Ébié had something to say.
"No spirit is born good or bad, sure this one would be a bit temperamental, but a spirit grows based on the training it's master gives it. What you're citing is just public opinion, just because Kaimatachis as a whole are known as bad omens, doesn't mean his would be the same. So stop giving and causing unnecessary fears hot-head and give us some valuable information!
As a spirit I was created by the mantle, I've never been to any of the spirit worlds, or know much about the intricacies of the creatures there. So tell us more about this new friend of ours." Nezha obviously wanted to argue, but looking at the expectant look on Alex's face as he cradled the innocent looking spirit, Nezha gave in.
"Kaimatachis are born of the wind element, however this very tiny things that don't grow larger than a weasel, are tri-school spirits. They're usually created or born from an aspect of grief or death, or bad luck. They have control over the wind, drain life force from people, lay bleeding curses with their bite and can not be touched or felt by mortals, however it can interfere with the mortal world.
It's schools are Manifestation; for it's control over wind, Apparition; for being a freaking half ghost and sucking life force, and mind sight; for it's Astounding ability to lay curses on someone with a bite and even in some cases steal luck. It's a bad, bad omen. Either way it's core will only fully settle once it gets to the soldier realm, that's when all of it's powers would be revealed and can be properly trained.
But since it's the foundation of your spirits, the only kind of spirits you can make a pact with, has to have the same school as it does. So you can never have a pact with a spirit with a divination school, not even if it's a duo-school, tri-school or quad-school. As long as it has divination abilities, your anima will reject it. You're stuck with it and the effects of it's bad luck forever. The worst part is, Kaimatachis are more animals, very evil animals so you won't ever be having an intelligent conversation with it! Humph!"
And then they didn't hear his voice again, but Alex really didn't care about the whole bad omen charade. He was worried though, but not about the whole bad luck and whatnot, Khan looked really frail, Alex hoped the spirit wasn't sick or anything. But either way, Alex had gotten his first spirit pact that wasn't made with his mantle, and this little guy in front of him was going be doing great things along with his master, Alex could feel it.
