Bridge william opens his hands "let's start this, i want you to do it in a few days, it will not be easy"
I roll my eyes. Of course.
"What i need to do?" I ask him.
"Before we start what do you know?" He keeps his hands out.
"That there are three unique abilites, the enanching one, the special ability where everyone has a different one and the third i don't know, ah and that we all have a core, expect for me" i say putting two fingers out.
"That's a good base, those as you said are special abilities so they are not the fundamental of your awakening" he starts moving his hands "the core itself is, it is the source of those abilites and it helps you see and complete the world, what you see right now is an uncomplete version, a human version" it seems he is speaking to himself more than me "as you develop more and more you will be able to see with god eyes, the truth, but for now just know that your perception of the world will change"
"What I'll see?" I ask.
"You'll see, right now you have to open your core to this world, so that the other core doesn't kill you, to do that there are various method, hundreds and hundreds but what there is in common between all of them is" he puts one finger up "attention".
Attention... "Attention of what?"
"This is it, attention of everything, nothing and anything" a fervant look in his face "the only way to comprehend god and the path he wants us to take is to bring attention to our and other people life's, of the world, of everything, only by attention your core can see a glimpse of the real world and then" he creates a ball with his hands and expand it "open it"
Very theatrical.
"I still don't understand how to do it" i say frankly. I can understand the concept but it is too general.
"Yes this is the general theory then there are ways, people on the edge of death, people seeing a loved one dying, someone looking at a person and understanding him for the first time, it can be small stuff or big stuff, as i said it varies too much" he sits down "but we created vaiable paths that can help you, come on sit down"
I sit down "what i have to do?" I ask in trepidation. No more getting sick please.
He chuckles "there are a few you can choose from but i will shorten it for you, first of all you can be tortured until you open up but i will not let the prole use this method"
Thank god, a little tremble goes through my body. Rat man?
"The second method is to put you in a room with nothing, for days, weeks, months or even years until you awaken but there isn't that much time, the same for meditation or methods using time" he puts three fingers up "the third one is too make you see the power of a god or the true world, it might kill you but if it doesn't it will probably open your core"
"Probably?" I ask on reflex.
"Yes, there is no guarantee, if there was a guarantee there would be only people with the true eye and no normal human anymore."
Make sense, still do i really have to do it? I put my hand on my face. Shit i really put myself in this situation, why it is so complicated to go home.
I look up to Bridge William.
"If there is no other way then i will do it" the smell of the blood from the shirt enters my nose "but how would i look or feel the power of a true god?"
Do they even exist? Or it is just someone with powers so strong that seems to be a god?
Bridge William smiles "this is where i tell you the third special ability" his cold blue eyes sharp as ever "this is a little misleading, it isn't really a third power but more like a cluster of many different types of abilities or phenomena, this is not the special ability that you take from your soul core but they are abilities that you take directly from god or other special forces" Bridge William head not in this world right now, like he is thinking of something else. "They are the most dangerous ones, both for the one defending from them and the one having them, you loose your mind slowly"
So your first unique ability comes from yourself or the core and the other one from external forces.
"But how do we do this? And how do we find someone that has this power?" Im curious about the power but damn I don't want to feel it.
"For the how it isn't your concern until it happens for the who..." He smiles "you have it front of you"
you?!
"Really?"
"Why do you think they call me Bridge William" at first i thought it was your surname.
"The bridge that connects to god" i say in realization.
He closes his eyes and puts his hands on his abdomen "may i be able to take on the path"
Yeah bro don't act all rightful, you are happy as shit that i said it.
"So, can i ask what power do you have?" It should be a great secret, but im the prole so...
He opens his eyes "it's better to not know, you will feel it and see it so it isn't like im kepping it a secret from you but trust me, it's better to not know in detail" this time he is serious, his cold eyes emanating a different aura.
"Alright, sorry i asked" are you bipolar?
"You don't have to say sorry" he gets up "clean yourself, don't present yourself like that, I don't exactly know what happened but Alfred told me enough, if you survive you will have to do way less grotesque things when attacked"
I hope so. I nod and get up. Now that i think about it why did we sit down.
"Get ready Tomh, it will not be easy"
I pull my shirt a little. I could still walk out, but where? I don't have home, family, friends, I don't even know this world. I clinch my fist. There is no other way.
