LEGEND-The Birth of the New Path Part-1

Aavesh woke up again in the Ruined Temple, But this time he was used to the side effects- He did not check his heart now for he knew what was happening, it was this very knowledge about this world made him feel a new sense of control over his situation.

Eon's bewildered voice sounded out in his head,

"Aavesh you actually... ripped your own heart out?"

"Yes"

He replied back quite plainly to it.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Eon spoke in an uncertain tone,

"You have changed Aavesh-"

Aavesh smirked as he spoke,

"What? Not Funny or Goofy enough for you?"

Eon replied back thoughtfully,

" A bit of that but you feel... more serious now"

As Aavesh dusted off his clothes, he calmly replied,

"There is time to be everything and anything, Now is the Time to be Serious"

"...Right"

As the Heart Demons were going to come now, Aavesh suddenly had an idea on how to stave them off temporarily,

"Eon- Can You affect this world through me to a certain degree?"

"Yes... I can, I have been doing that- Remember the first time you jumped through the hole, I managed to cloak it temporarily- Wait wait wait- That was only a small scale change, the cost of mental pain to you was negligible "

"But I want to do large scale"

"Aavesh, My Dear Friend, My COMRADE, WHY DO YOU KEEP HAVING THESE DEATHWISHES?!"

"Eon You gotta chill buddy- explain to me, if say hypothetically - we use the Blood and Bone Sea to restrain them- How much mental pain would I have to endure?"

"..."

"Come On Tell Me Fast, Those Maniacs are probably rushing to our location Eon!"

"It would be reaching the limits of ability of Normal Humans to feel Pain"

"Is that it? Do it Eon!"

"You..."

Eon Was speechless at this shameless reply. For Fuck's sake it would reach Human Limits! It would not be regular Pain at all! Fine!

Eon Gritted his teeth and channeled a Mother Lode of Power through Aavesh.

Aavesh suddenly felt a massive BOOM! on his Head, His Nose began to bleed and his eyes began to let out tears of blood as he knelt down into a crouch position. His whole body trembled as he tasted the 'pain' that reached mortal limits.

He grit his teeth as his facial expression contorted and twisted hideously. The Nerves around his Body Became completely taut as they could be seen across his face.

This Pain came from the depths of his mind- like a massive burden had been forced onto his consciousness- But Aavesh did not pass out- He used the Pain to remain awake as the energy erupting from him began to fully change the world.

He was like a weak conduit in the Channeling of Energy.

*BOOOM

*WHOOOOSH

The 3 Heart Demons who were rushing towards the ruined temple- suddenly felt an ominous Energy emanating from it and swept them all way with no resistance into the Blood and Bones Sea. Three Blood Bone Whirlpools began to form around the 3 Heart Demons- separating their existence from each other.

They cursed wildly as they were engulfed in the whirlpools

These Whirlpools now acted as the Prison to hold each Heart Demon in- for now.

As soon as they were locked in, Eon immediately stopped channeling his power into Aavesh and Aavesh collapsed down with deep labored breaths- Luckily he did not lose consciousness this time. Aavesh then slowly got up as he wiped the blood on his face using his clothes and sat down breathing deeply to relax his strained nerves.

"N-Nott -too-o-baaddd-Eoonn"

"I warned against this but you..."

Aavesh took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment to regain full focus on the situation,

"Hufff Huff Huff... Ok I'm Good for now- How long will this Imprisonment last Eon?"

Aavesh asked an important question now

"4 hours give or Take"

"Shall we focus on that Mythic Power Now Eon- I have always wanted to fully know about its potential apart from the half-baked explanation you gave me-"

"I Did NOT!-"

Aavesh chuckled as he tried to lighten the Painful after-effects of that channeling with jokes- atleast his mind relaxed more when he teased Eon. He quickly placated him, before Eon would have another Meltdown.

"Chill Eon, I'm kidding, Tell me how to cultivate it and what Powers to expect?"

"I swear Aavesh, after we get out I WILL TORTURE YOU WITH TRAINING FOR CRACKING JOKES AT MY TORTURED SELF'S EXPENSE!"

"Fine, Not that I was going to avoid the Training anyway"

Eon took a deep breath to calm his mental state- This kid was becoming a bit too bold lately in taking risks! He could not really understand why Aavesh had changed like this- Was it due to the Heart Demons or the Deaths he suffered at their hands? Maybe Both? Who could really tell anyway...

Aavesh was still waiting for his response patiently. Eon shook his head and spoke in Aavesh's mind,

"The Method is a form of an Oath, Mental Mantle Break and A Minor Cosmic Tribulation- Every Step in this Path is crucial and can not be taken Lightly"

"Everyone born into a Realm has a Mantle within them- it is usually considered crucial for conventional Mythic Power- It is like a template on which you can mold the most Basic Form of Mythic Power!"

"Infact you can view your Mantle easily in this Mental Tribulation- It is the Invisible Lens between Mythic Power and Your Soul, it has always been there Aavesh- The soul uses it to attract Mythic Power"

"- Think of it like this, your soul is the Potter, the Nature of Your Mythic Power is the Pottery Wheel and The Mantle is the Clay while the Raw Mythic Power is Water- The Mantle is the Greatest Shackle due to it fully restricting certain changes made by the soul after the Molding Process of the Mythic Power- Therefore Once It is done, there is no going Back, You must Build on the Foundation Laid by You"

"Although there are Methods that cleverly help you alter your Mythic Power- But there are certain Pre Requisites for those methods- Unfortunately, you don't qualify for usage of those methods due to your condition-"

"Your Mantle takes the form of something crucial to you- Let us see it first, Aavesh close your eyes and think of that one object that you have always found odd- let it show on you! This Object is an incredible anomaly - its something you always felt in your instinct - at the core of your Personality!"

*SSSSS

Aavesh did as Eon Told him to and tried to feel his inner Mantle, A Mantle could take any Form but what was his? He let his instincts run wild for a bit and he felt an incredibly odd sensation to his face, like something random had been suddenly placed on him.

But he was quick to realize.

A White-colored Spectacles appeared on his face- So this Spectacles was his Mantle? But he sensed something off about it. It seemed to be lifeless, as if something had placed a terrible curse that removed its ability to attract Mythic Power to its Wielder.

*POOF

It disappeared as quickly as it came.

"So we have seen your Mantle Now"

"You will have to break your mantle to cultivate Mythic Power, Not only that You will have to take the OATH as Well"

Aavesh asked curiously," What Oath are you talking about Eon?"

"It is an Unordinary Oath Aavesh- Let me explain"
