[Prelude] Amazonian Heart: For Whose Sake?

“Is getting stronger the battle or is it learning to deal with those you leave behind? I wonder honestly which direction this world is going, war is on the horizon that battle couldn’t have been the end of it. All I can do is get stronger to keep him in check, and to live with myself. Which is why I fight, was it the sun and the moon that really inspired ancient civilization, then this blade is what inspires me, which is why there is only one path left, to get stronger; to rise from the depths and be born again.”

Page had been talking to himself again. In the middle of the jungle which had gotten overgrown long ago places that humanity had forgotten about. The amazon which once held mighty warriors, he stood in their homeland looking up at the moon with a distant expression. The stars blotted out by light pollution and yet he seemed transfixed by the sky, by the stark beauty of it how the light didn’t blot out the dark. It was hard to explain but, he felt like for the first time in 500 odd years his blade was driven by something other than a writhing perpetual hatred for the hollows which on that day had taken everything from him. His eyes took in the world again almost like he was looking at it for the first time again. He enjoyed the feeling but he came so far into the middle of absolutely no-where for a specific reason. Which was as that this far out there was a very slim chance of damaging any civilization, as sure he could fix the landscape as he found out while fighting yako grim. Yet there was something he couldn’t fix, the loss of human life once someone died he lacked the potential to bring them back.

So with a reckless streak page had the still unfamiliar sensation of energy roaring through his body as the ure sphere and link both kicked in, heightening his senses and augmenting his natural affinity for lightning. Then as his body became illuminated in the darkness of the night, raw electricity in its purest state began to rise off his body. With an audible crackle the volts of energy seemed to dance arcing from one spot to another, the dark shadows cast by blinding light lost in the dark depths of the forest. Page had then lifted his hand up a blindingly bright small orb forming on the tip of his index finger, using the power post and enhanced control granted by the URE Link Interface+ URE Sphere to create a immensely powerful outward expanding force, to have released it in a pulsating wave a blinding flash of light and electricity which caused the ground to buckle and erupt within a half mile detonating exploding and being pushed away by the shockwave. Fragments of tree and rubble spewing high into the sky like a miniature mushroom cloud.

He paused to marvel at the increase in power granted by only two devices. It was certainly a surprise to him, he had wanted to get stronger and he had. It was astounding and yet he thought ’I still must keep getting stronger I am useful to no one as I am right now.’ and slowly lowered down to the ground touching down on his toes a slight ring of dust billowing out from the wind he’d generate by distorting and manipulating the electrons in the atoms themselves, and then he’d have slowly closed his eyes using his incredibly sensitivity to electronic frequencies to spread his focus out across the forest. His mind picking up with help from the URE link, anything from the wild jungle cats to the insects which crawled against the ground, or even the birds in the sky within a reasonable distance. He could feel the electrons which made them up, of course it was hard to do keeping his attention in such a spread out state took concentration but, he felt a small tinge of guilt for what he was about to do. That he was about to use them to test something out, it kind of made a lump form in his throat so he’d have said softly.

”Sorry for what I’m about to do, if I don’t test things out I won’t know what happens..”

Gathering about his wits he’d then have focused on running a thin trail of electricity between every single electronic frequency or living entity within a vague radius of 2 miles, linking each electric source the nervous systems of each one. He had focused in and tried to link each one together in essence he had made the animals his eyes and ears although the strain brought a light sweat across his brow. It was hard to keep that many living entities linked by will alone but it was also disorienting all those conflicting perspectives of the same thing the vision and senses of the tiniest bug to the big predators of the jungle had at the moment been linked and he was gathering rough information putting together a primitive understanding at best on how the ecosystem worked. The crude method was far from perfect however, he could feel the pain of animals dying left and right from electrical / neuro overload. He had severed the link then, as the data he collected was probably enough that he would be able to work with it.

Opening his eyes then all he did was let out a slight breath sitting in the crater like clearing and looking up at the pristine sky. Certainly page hoped the racket would get some attention but you never knew what exactly would happen, so he’d have leaned back some and took the brief time of peace to relax and recover, since really he didn’t know what was going to happen from here on out. All he knew was that the future was unknown and he waited with baited breath to actually see with his own eyes, what the future would bring.
