ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART

Adam was, an interesting person. Demonica certainly treated him like a friend, and he had a very passionate heart in his chest. A very strong, driving goal to make humanity evolve. To keep them relevant. Surprisingly similar to Caanan's goal, now she thought about it. Ulv was meant to be the cornerstone of a new race of humans that would take centre stage in their world. But, he went about it the wrong way and Mirja killed him to death. And that was the rub, wasn't it? The idea that Adam's goals could corrupt him into something darker.

The desire to see one's race become better was a pervasive desire, and one could quickly lose sight of all others in the attempt. Focusing on making your race relevant, you might sacrifice the relevance of others and not even notice it. One's desires and one's actions could come apart, and while you saw nothing, you become a beast. That was what Ulv was doing here. Having called Adam to her home so they could have more of a personal conversation than standing on the docks, Ulv wanted to give her support to Demonica's friend. But also give her oversight, so he did not stray without knowing. Maybe he never would, but it was better to have something you never use than merely trust and hope. And be let down in the end.

In the mind of Adam, things were moving swiftly as far as visualizing his goals and ambitions into reality. With the downfall of the Monsuta, the death of an old self was had with his connections he had to that project. From the ashes of its destruction brought about a painful birth of a new ego within himself that was maturing, blossoming and birthing new life into the planet through his desire to force mankind to see it's potential to evolve, progress and create new growth within themselves and the world that they inhabit.

Ergo, it was of no coincidence that his paths eventually crossed with Ulv and the likes of Minatumi City. There were many different spirits to visit across the globe, and it was within this gathering of people that a potent force of beings was assembling together. Allying themselves with one another seemed beneficial as both groups had no desire to go out of their way to make new enemies when the depths of the world was already consumed with war. Thus, Adam saw no reason to decline Ulv's invitation to storm forth into her home.

So, with a mere waltzing of his whim, The Eden Leader walked through the doors of The Resolve Flame's residence, looked her dead in the eye with his blood gaze and waved:

"Already had the place heated up and ready for me to go? How considerate~"

There was a coy tone heard in the passing words of Adam, but that was his sly little trait since he was always a vain little bastard. if nothing else, however, it showed he was in a decent enough mood to make this not an utter borefest. After all, there was no sense in being around someone who was prone to making the atmosphere feel utterly garbage. So, to that end, he gave a roll his shoulders, marched further in and kicked himself up on the couch as he glanced back over at the host.

"So, what do I owe the pleasure of this encounter? I don't believe much in random meetings. There is always a reason or why as to why spirits meet in this world. Does it sound like a lot of new age bullshit? Sure, but I believe my bullshit."

With a chuckle, the male continued on.

"Or at least, I better believe it. We live in a world of devils, angels, and gods; so we may as well believe in the unseen ability of the supernatural to work in mysterious ways. Ya'd be fuckin' braindead to ignore it at this point, wouldn't you agree?"

ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART

"Well, I am really hot. So, I generally warm the place up wherever I go" Ulv was, as Ulv was. A flirt with everything that came into range. Passion unbridled did that sort of thing, so it was no surprise, or shouldn't be, at least. She followed him to the couch, and then listened to him talk while preparing some tea and light snacks for the two. The idea of Predestination on the world was an interesting one, and when you had people like Ulv who could manifest anything the other person desired, people like Mana who was just nuts, and then Truth and Deveta around, there was certainly enough power in it. So she brought the tea and snacks to the couch and sat next to Adam.

"It's a very solid theory. But, no spirits or Gods have ordained this meeting, just me calling you. Demonica seems to like you, and I like Demonica. She is a close friend of mine. So I decided to put my hand in and help you with your goals. They are very noble goals, and I like to help noble goals, especially when it helps my friends" Ulv, who generally sat or stood pretty stoically while talking and maintained eye contact, stood up, and turned to him.

"But such goals can be dangerous. When you look to one's race, it can become easy to make excuses on what you do to others to get where you want" Ulv would gently pace, but there was a feel that the house watched Adam even as Ulv's eyes were not on him. "It can start slowly, but will proceed surely. At first, you want your race to prosper, and then it turns to making sure other races do not, so yours can get further. Excuses grow, as empathy dims. And in the end, you grow to be a supremacist, without even realising you'd left the path" Ulv would finish her pacing, and return to the couch where Adam sat, putting a hand on his.

"So that will be the second part of my aid to you. To ensure that all are treated fairly by you. Your goals are great and your passion is something I admire. So I don't want to see you go down anywhere that will lead you to be opposed any more than you need to be"

"You invite a boy over to your house and give him an open invitation like that? Careful now, you might give these raging hormones of mine mixed signals there."

With a raise of his right eyebrow, The Eden Leader flirted right back as he wasn't typically one to shy away from lascivious behaviorisms himself. After all, the man was about as giddy, hyperactive and excitable as could be. So it was no surprise that his carnal drive was through the roof when he wanted it to be. Of course, he didn't let it blind him from his goals, either. Subjugating and controlling that sexual energy allowed him to create such wonderful things into existence.

So it's why his mind soon drifted back to the subject at hand as she started mentioning the reasons as to why the two were meeting in this rather modest adobe. As the stream of conscious thought flowed from the mouth of Ulv, it was apparent there was a general interest in him from the connections the woman had with Demonica. This then meant to Adam that he at least had a leg up in her perceptions of him as most people tend to network with those they are already tethered and attached to. It is why, in return, he nodded his head, smiled and gave a thumbs up to the first bit of dialogue which Ulv uttered out to him.

Of course, however, there were always caveats to these things. As when she started mentioning how these ambitious goals could consume the spirits of man to do dangerous things, Adam knew that the whole essence of this shelter of hers was observing every little move and breath he took. Yet, in spite of that, he could only let out a chuckle as she was a little bit late to be giving him this spiel. Far too late, in fact. Recalling his time in the Monsuta brought back visions of death, destruction, blood, and mayhem. All of this heartache started from assuming that it was better to force aggressive change on the world to otherwise develop mankind's potential.

So, as she started to give him warnings as to the path he was on, Adam could only shake his head as if he had already heard this line before and he knew he needed to speak up about his experiences at this point if she wanted to otherwise get a clue as to where he was at in this point in his life.

"I ain't got a problem killing people if I need to, but you are a bit too late to say that. During my time in the Monsuta, I was everything you more or less feared."

With his blood gaze now fixated solely on Ulv, he continued with a sense of bold confidence; indicating that he was indeed not afraid to speak the wrongs he had committed in the past:

"I've got a lot of blood on my hands from the shit I've done, but I have no desire to live that life anymore. Eden's Evolution is only interested in one thing: the betterment of those who call this tribe their home. We want to be able to give humans a place in this world, to develop their potential and mark a place for us in this existence."

There was then a pause before Adam took a moment to consider his words carefully before proceeding.

"We could go down the route of taking Force Feedback's approach of wanting to wipe out all other races, but that's impossible and not what I want. Competition is what keeps us on our feet, after all. So, instead of being the world's enemy, I just want to be able to use the kickass powers at my disposal to fuck things up in a more positive way. I ain't gotta go down the fruity-ass route of becoming some cheesy hero, but I do want to re-do some wrongs if only to shut my conscious up."

Then, Adam leaned in closer to Ulv and asked her this simple inquiry:

"So, the bigger question is this: what would it take for you to believe and trust in that vision that I have?"

More flirting. If Ulv hadn't taken this conversation in a serious direction, Ulv would return it till he backed down with a blush or they went to her comfortable bed to put the money where the mouth was. Among other things being put in mouths.
"I can relate to having blood on your hands" Ulv commented, sipping her tea and thinking softly. It was time for more truth, and she needed to make sure that her well crafted facade didn't get in the way of that. "The problem is not the killing. It's the twisting of one's perception as to what necessary means. Not saying you are, not saying you will ever be. But I like having things out in the open, so telling you now means that my support is not duplicitous in any way. Monsuta in general was a different way of doing things. I tried to help them and I failed, so I put that part of my life behind me. If you have put that part of your life behind you as well, then we will say no more on the subject"

After that, muscular arms brought Adam into a sidelean hug! Her muscles were firm but comfortable, the power inherent in them far more towards the benevolent feel of protection than any danger. Her warm skin was like a fire in the middle of winter, and she generally extruded a soft, matriarchal comfort.
"Nothing at all. I believe in your dream, and I trust you'll go down it the right way. Few things can be hidden from me when spoken about, which is why I like to talk to people. Experience had taught you the lessons I hoped to ease you into, but it didn't cripple you, and instead drove you to a new path with greater understanding. That is all I needed to hear. All I needed to feel" Ulv would then let Adam go and stand again, clearly a woman of vibrant and plentiful energy at this point.

"You may count me as an ally, Adam. And everything I have to teach is yours to learn, as it is to everyone who is part of your tribe. And if you wish, I can invite you to my network. An emphatic connection of people who want to see the world progress into a brighter world. It synergies very well with other things I can do, and will put you in touch with people that can help your goals"

"Truth smells the truth. The intuitive nature of humankind has a knack for sniffing out bullshit. That's part of the reason I'm so casual and relaxed: I have nothing to hide and lay my intentions out in the air for all to bask in."

That was the first reply which Adam had towards Ulv's observations of him. It was true to him because you could tell by his smiles, loosened muscles, and jovial tone that there wasn't much he had to fear from anyone on this planet. To him: he had already lost everything and been beaten down, so the only way to go is upwards to the skies of success as far as he was concerned.

"And don't concern yourself with the Monsuta. Of course, it fucking sucked to fail, but I figure it happened for a reason. It gave the catalyst for The Eden Of Evolution to take off and I'm happy with that."

Of course, before Adam could continue on with more of what he wanted to say, the Eden Leader was snatched into a hug by the muscular woman. And from this intimate interaction, the feelings of a warm summer day oozed over the body of the male. He could feel every tendon, muscle, and bone which were filled with the utmost of love behind them. Perhaps Ulv wouldn't call it that, but he didn't care much. The depth of her soul possessed a lot of lust for life and this lone human could sniff it out as if it were a blossoming ready to be thoroughly enjoyed with its sweet scents.

At the same time, the base of his own drive of sensuality flowing through the base of his body. It is why Adam began to brush the bare skin of his leg against Ulv's as he pulled her in closer to himself to get a feeling for her soft, warm bosom. In this way of touch, The Eden Leader cared not how frisky he was since the woman was aware of what she was getting herself into at this point as he made himself comfortable. With the male's heartbeat increasing from the excitement of everything going to his head, the pulsation of loving aura furthered in the atmosphere around him as a gold aura bled forth from the body of Adam as he cracked a jovial grin in response to Ulv's comments.

"Nah, I totally cried like a bitch after everything went up smoked. But, I licked my fangs, got over it and decided not to waste everything I built like a real stubborn bastard. So if nothing else, that pain is what brought us both together right now."

Of course, once Adam stuck to ya, he stuck to ya just like glue. So, despite her letting him go, he positioned himself to sit rather nicely on her lap as he cupped her chin with his right hand and continued to engage with her; not really being one to care much for another's personal space.

"Then you are an ally of Eden's Evolution because we both willed to be into existence."

There was then a pause before he inquired about that network of hers:

"I'd need more details about the network before I join it. I'm certain we can produce a telepathic link through my Chi being used as the medium to connect our body's. So let's make things more interesting, shall we?"

Then, a sly grin crept across his face. Since, in a matter of moments, the male's lips radiated a blazing warmth of golden energy before he pressed their blazing hot glow across the woman's lush lips. In that way, the physical contact between the two initiated the bond needed to otherwise set-up their own personal network of thought. By doing this, she could transmit knowledge more easily into Adam's mind so that he could review the information at his leisure.

"By all means: share what you have to give~"

"Getting on with your life doesn't mean not being bothered. It means not letting that bother be your entire life" Ulv told him. He was quite a cute Onbaa - Japanese monster of sorts that clung to your back and never let go - as he clung to her even after she let go and stood up. But, Ulv's powerful body was not one that was at all bothered by the minor addition of Adam's slim frame. And so let him hang there. Finally, after some more flirting, he even came up and gave her a kiss, which connected the two minds together. Or rather, the some-eight minds, as Ulv shared her mental space quite sparsely.

'Wahoo! New people!'
'Calm down, Iko'
'Impossible. She doesn't do calm'
'Then we shall exhaust her! Bring her to me, Hvit!'

"Sorry for the cacophony. I got a lot of spirits these days" Ulv apologised, and then managed to stuff everyone down enough to send him the information he needed about her Resolve Flame, the Network in which it powered, as well as her Tulpa powers, The Wind, Touki and her Martial Skills. Because if she was going to be teaching people, then might as well teach them everything she could.

And after he got all of that in his head, she gave a smirk.
"So, you wanna go see my bedroom, or are you just a flirty guy and don't want to follow through?"
'Time for Wolf Sex!'
'Mmm, if you insist~'
'Can you two not go one day without that?'
'They can if they are too exhausted to have Wolf Sex!'

".....so, we have a visitor."

There was a lone female voice which echoed in the mind of Adam once the two had successfully linked their consciousness together. Given the unity between the two at the moment, it was rather apparent that this was the feminine half of humanity: Eve. Adam represented the masculine half and together they both carried the vessel which was The Eden Leader's body. This feminine aspect of himself was a voice which otherwise kept him grounded, balanced and loved when there was no love to be found in such a barren and war scorned planet.

"You aren't the only one with a couple of voices in their head."

A coy chuckle echoed in the mind of Adam as the likes of Eve became visible to Mirja. As within the corners of his mind did mist of honey, rose and lush green hues of energy flow all around them. These were the energies of his heart and mind beginning to assemble in a whirlwind of evolutionary power. So it is to this end that both he and Eve started to digest the information which was being broken down into their collective mind. And it is then that they came to the resolution which Ulv was befitting to join them in summing forth the Heart Of Humanity.

The Nation Grows! Ezgif-4-d6a6c9547a00

[In the spoiler below is the Heart Of Humanity]

Spoiler:

"I'm sure you know what this is here, correct. If you decide to infuse your powers into this heart of ours, you will be one of seven people to otherwise join us in uniting humanity. So feel free to infuse the network into this thing instead."

With a soft sigh, the body of Adam relaxed as from out of his soul came a burning red heart. It was filled to the brim with potent energy which radiated a sense of determination as sparks of white electricity surged around it. This was the medium which was meant to be shared among them as any who were a part of this small network could utilize and share their collective might with one another should they be marked as a person worthy of being part of humanity's hive.

"It certainly will help us if you were to make this as potent as you could. If you were to seal portions of your energy that could be refueled into it, I can see us making great usage of it if we should face some absurdly strong force."

Of course, Adam's original voice picked up on the other voices in the head of Ulv were uttering out. So, he could only give a shit-eating grin back as well and respond to them with this:

"Oh, we'll handle that after this~ Don't worry."

Sun Jun 23, 2019 4:25 pm

ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART

'But we are the best voices!'
'Hard to disagree with that one'
'No one being is better than any other. All have their own traits'
'The only way to see who is best, is to fight! Come, voices, Tuku will have you all!'

Ulv heard the people in her head getting over excited at the new people that had come to say hello, and just smiled. They were certainly a diverse and enthusiastic bunch. But, outside of the self-contained conversation, Ulv was more focused on the heart in front of her. She could infuse it with all her might and give Adam power so vast it could scarcely be comprehended. But, was that the right thing to do? Would that help? Could he even handle it?
"There is a lot to me. I generally keep things around two to five percent so others are comfortable. To give it you all at once might kill you. Might induce Superhuman Psychosis. Might do nothing as it bottlenecks. I shall give you a part of my Resolve Flame now, and slowly seed you with the rest of it as time goes on. So you can get used to the new things and grow into them, rather than just dumping power more vast than the Seven Seas on you right away"

Reaching out to cup the heart, Ulv then poured twenty percent of her Resolve Flame into the heart. While not a great number, the scale of the power sealed within it was still something fierce, and so to be dropped with all of it at once, would not do much good.
"Be careful with that. When your passion boils, it can become an actual flame. And depending on the power of said passion, that flame can burn hot. Other than that, I added my tricks in there as well. It will reinforce any Tulpa you make, if you can make one just from what I gave you mentally, and can teleport anyone, including yourself, here to Minatumi Harbour if you need to escape sharpish. You can also activate Minatumi's defenses with it"

Memories would start to fall into the mind of Ulv Auber. These would be of a day two years ago where the likes of Adam was utilizing his own evolutionary powers to otherwise aide Tsubasa in his own development. In this vision, she would see Adam outright taking the brunt of Tsubasa's energy into his blade so that he could harness his essence to unlock a new transformation for the shinigami. In the process, he was charred, burnt and cemented into the earth; but despite the immense pain and injury, the male stood up and stabbed Tsubasa before falling for a few days slumber afterward.

What was the point of showing this memory? Simple: Adam's body could sustain the power of a 0-2 presence if it so needed to. It was not his first time dealing with larger than life forces in this world, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. If anything, The Eden Leader had only grown stronger as he learned to tap into the prowess of the planet around them to protect and shield him where his own limitations certainly capped him.

So, to that end, he'd clarify and add on to her words:

"My body would be in bad shape, but I'd live. Luckily, I don't want it in my body. The Heart Of Humanity is something that exists outside of myself and infusing energy into that is akin to sealing it within a non-living object."

What? Did she take him for an idiot? Of course he wasn't gonna ask her to hit his precious little body with it.

"But by all means, feel free to give what you can to it."

There was then a laugh echoed out of his mouth as he could certainly feel the raw willpower behind it. It caused the heart to begin to thump with a loud roar, fill with flames and begin to pulsate the ground around them as it devoured the contents of Ulv's essence into it's being. This was a vital process as it had been given the consent to create the bond between two so that they could indeed swap their collective abilities for the greater good of their ambitions.

"Besides, this cute face of mine would have been melted a long time ago if the will within myself couldn't handle the bullshit this world will through at you. It's not gonna break me."

At that moment, it seemed as if the sun itself was burning behind the eyes of Adam. The aura of his energy shifted as if the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of humans were screaming, roaring and fluttering about in the room around them as his whole body screamed an essence of determination. The male was recalling the many times he had been left for the dead, the people/possessions he had lost, the ambitions held within his heart and the belief that he was here for something greater than himself. All of these things were mixing into a spiritual inferno which made the atmosphere which generated within himself feel vaster than the power which his body was capable of producing.

"So I thank you for your contribution to this project and you can be assured the investment will be well worth your time. In exchange, you may feel free to use the resources in my network as well, Ulv."

Once that was said and done in the most sincere voice he could use, the powers swelled down before he gave a sincere sigh and looked back at Ulv:

"....we done here? Or shall we move on to those other affairs those voices were talking about?"
