Elven Legacy

Deep within the void was a lone soul wandering aimlessly with no direction in mind, the souls appearance was pure white, making it stand out untainted in the void full of darkness. As the soul continued to wander through the void for who knows how many years, as time within the void is ever chaotic, in a blink of an eye centuries could pass or time could even stop altogether.

Somehow or someway, the lone souls consciousness stirred awake, when the souls consciousness awoke Its reaction was quite unnatural, but then again a mortal souls consciousness shouldn have awoken without a body to anchor itself to in the first place.

Why can I see anything? Where am I, wait, why can I feel my hands or feet!? What are hands and feet, and whats happening? I can remember anything, ugh, memories, what are memories?…… Who am I, what am I?

As the soul was going through what seemed like an identity crisis for some time, it managed to reign in its panicking emotions after a while and calmed down. With the soul now calm, it finally tried to figure out its situation, and most importantly how to survive.

I need to calm down, panicking about my origins won solve anything right now, I can figure that out later. Right now I need to try and survive, because wherever I am currently feels dangerous, as if I might die? I don even know what the word ”die ” means, but from how Im feeling, Im going to assume its bad.

Now that the soul has an objective, it does its best at trying to figure out what its situation is, but even after spending days, the soul hasn come to find anything that could help him. Although the souls efforts were futile, it had an unnaturally strong will, and it persisted on with its endeavors, day after day, week after week it continued until finally, something changed.

What is this? I can sense it everywhere, and it feels comfortable.

What the soul didn know is it had managed to awaken an ability that shouldn be possible for a mortal soul to use, and said ability allowed the user to see or sense its surroundings through non-conventional methods. What the soul had managed to sense through its ability is a form of energy called Qi, Origin Qi to be exact, and Qi is the very foundation of everything in existence.

As the soul was quite curious about what it sensed, it followed its instincts and tried to absorb the Qi, luckily the soul didn manage to do that as Origin Qi is the purest and strongest form of Qi, and if the soul managed to absorb even just a wisp of Qi as it is now, it would explode instantly. But even though the soul hadn managed to absorb the Qi, just having its soul bathed in Origin Qi had given itself tremendous benefits, and that special ability is one of them.

Now that I can finally sense my surroundings, what do I? The only thing I can sense is this comfortable thing thats everywhere.

Now that the soul has finally accomplished sensing its surroundings after months of persisting, its now confused about what it should do next. So the soul just continues drifting aimlessly, while it constantly tries expanding its sensing range, after many months something finally changed in this void of utter darkness that has plagued the soul in confusion.

*Ba-dump* *Crack*

With the noise that sounded like a drum, a crack formed on the edge of the darkness, allowing small amounts of light to sneak through. Nothing happened for a while before another drum noise echoed across the darkness, causing the previous crack to grow in size and spread off into branches.

*Ba-dump* *Crack*

This time the drum sound came quicker than last time and caused new but smaller cracks to form around the edge of the darkness while still causing the first crack to grow slightly in size.

*Ba-dump* *Crack*

Again, even quicker than before as it enlarged the already existing cracks, now with enough light peaking through the cracks our soul has finally been given enough light
