A smile overtook Rhitta's face. She finally tapped into her synergy base.

  "Both of you were right, it does feel like a calm lake," said Rhitta as she let out a slight smile.

  "Since Rhosa has already reached the next step, I'll tell you the same thing Rhitta. Pretend like the synergy base that you're feeling is water inside of a glass being held in your hand. Try to rotate it just like you would rotate that glass and create a whirlpool," Aniya said this as she was surprised on how fast the girl's were picking up on synergy. They were talented indeed.

  Rhitta inhaled deeply then exhaled slowly. She immersed herself in trying to rotate her synergy base.

  Aniya started thinking to herself, once they learned how to consistently rotate their synergy base then they should be able to learn their beginning abilities. When you learn to rotate your synergy base, you gain abilities, which are linked to your personality and the type of person that you are. Therefore, nobody in this world is born with all of the same abilities, it's impossible as every person is different. Although people will often share multiple abilities, history has never recorded 2 alive and different beings with the same exact abilities.

  Minutes passed when suddenly, an aura started to slightly manifest from Rhitta. It was extremely faint but Aniya was able to feel it. It felt warm, it felt caring, it felt angelic. Aniya expected to feel an aura similar to this but for it to feel exactly like this took her by surprise.

  The aura slowly grew more and more to the point where it was close to the same amount of Aura as Rhosa.

  "I will tell you again like I told Rhosa, alternate between spinning your synergy base from slow to fast. It will allow you to get used to rotating your base from slow to fast. After a few minutes of doing that, stop rotating your base and then try to rotate it again. It will help you learn to rotate it in an instant. Eventually you will rotate it at will and subconsciously like most people do".

  Rhitta understood and began to follow her instructions. She began to slow down the rotation and then speed it up. She alternated between that for minutes and then stopped the rotation. Just like Rhosa, when she tried to rotate it again, it started off slow and she sped it up.

  This was normal for beginners so it wasn't a big deal. When you first learn to rotate your synergy base, going from a halted motion to a fast rotation was hard to do in an instant. After minutes of repeating those same steps, it was time to move on.

  Aniya took a deep breath. The training for learning to harness synergy was done and it was vastly easier and shorter than she expected. Most people would take days to tap into their base, much less rotate it and these two girls did it within hours. This was the talent of their bloodline.

  "Since you both were able to tap into your base and rotate your synergy, I will go more into the concept of synergy. I've already introduced tapping into it and rotating it and I will go more into detail".

  "First, your synergy base is what you first felt, it was that calm lake we talked about. Your synergy base is what holds the amount of synergy that you have. Someone like me, has a much bigger synergy base than the both of you. Your synergy base grows bigger and bigger the stronger you become and allows you to store even more synergy due to the increase in size".

  "Now when it comes to battles, the outcome is usually decided by who can rotate their synergy the fastest. The faster you rotate it, the more power you output. Your synergy is linked to your power, speed and how durable you are. The faster you rotate it means you can put out more power, move faster and take more damage. However, don't take this information as in, rotating your synergy base faster against someone with a far bigger synergy base than you grants you a victory and I will explain more on that in a minute".

  "Now when it comes to abilities, you should have already seen the abilities within your mind. When you learn to harness the power of synergy, the abilities that you obtain are engraved into your mind and your soul as well as the way to use said abilities."

  This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  "To go more into the concept of abilities, the three abilities you start off with are related to the biggest emotion you have when you enter the first awakening For example a person who is cold hearted and has a cold personality at the moment of entering will likely have ice related abilities or other abilities related to "cold". Not every person will start off with the same abilities even if they have similar emotions. This may be a lot to take in but this is just the very basics compared to what i am about to say next."

  "The next set of information we will go over is the seven awakenings. The seven awakenings are different levels of synergy. When you first learn your abilities, that is the moment you enter the first awakening and the first awakening is simply the ability to harness and use synergy. To enter a higher awakening, you must learn to understand yourself, become enlightened on who you really are and gaining true insight on the world and how it operates while becoming stronger. It's much deeper than that so I'll give an explanation at a later time when you are accustomed to the basics. To go back on what I said earlier, this is where it comes into play. A being in the first awakening can rotate their synergy base at its maximum speed and will almost always still be weaker than a being in the second awakening. For example, if my synergy base can hold 7 apples and Rhosa's base can only hold 2 apples, 2 is extremely smaller than 7 so the difference in power is massive. No matter how fast you rotate it, it won't let you reach the level of someone massively beyond your power".

  "On the contrary, it's not impossible to beat someone in a higher awakening. There are items, weapons and other factors of influence that can let you contend with someone in a higher awakening. So while not impossible, it's extremely hard and nearly impossible".

  "You can also learn the personality of someone from feeling their aura. A key factor into getting into higher awakenings is gaining insight. Gaining insight on who you are and insight on the world down to its very core. This is by experiencing the world, being in life-or-death battles and learning to deeply understand everything. This is a great way on how to master abilities and improve upon them to the point where they evolve".

  "Not everyone will be able to awaken to higher awakenings. The highest recorded awakening is the 4th awakening and that is achieved by the seven leaders of the seven sanctuaries. They are called the Seven Suns and are the strongest known people in the world".

  "With each higher awakening, it is believed that you obtain a new ability. The ability you obtain in a higher awakening surpasses the abilities you have in your lower awakenings but it also greatly boosts the potency of your previous abilities and sometimes, evolve them. When you reach a higher awakening, your synergy base grows greatly and you can store much more synergy. Remember this, a being in a higher awakening can almost always suppress a being in a lower awakening".

  "The last thing I will teach you about the awakenings is a law from the heavens. This law was placed on humans to prevent them from reaching higher awakenings. This is called tribulation. When you reach a higher awakening, you must pass a tribulation. Many people have died from tribulation. Humans are meant to die by this tribulation. That is why when one passes a tribulation, they are given a great reward which is an excess amount of synergy that is absorbed into their synergy base making them even stronger and leading them into the next awakening".

  "If we ever see a person reach a higher awakening, we can watch them so you can understand what you will have to go through to get stronger. I'm currently in the second awakening just like your mother and we both passed the first tribulation. It is really a life or death situation".

  "Back to the both of you, I would at least like to know what your abilities are that you obtained in the first awakening".

  Aniya had a smile on her face and sparkly eyes as she said the last part. Although this probably wouldn't beneficial for any of them unless they go on missions, she loved seeing the abilities of people.

  Rhitta let out a smile and motion her hands in front of her as if she was about to cup them but they were inches away from each other. Suddenly a small orb appeared between her almost-cupped hands, this orb gradually grew larger and larger until it enveloped her. It looked as if she was inside of a bubble.

  Rhosa walked towards her and slapped it which sent ripples across the entire bubble.

  "Ahh so it's basically a shield? That makes sense, the nature of a shield is to protect something, so with you wanting to protect people like your mother and disliking violence, it makes sense that one of your abilities is a shield. How about you Rhosa?" Aniya eyes were sparkling. She's seen shield users before so this wasn't shocking to her but it was still satisfying seeing this ability and how it was related to Rhitta's personality.

  "Are you sure? I don't want to destroy anything," responded Rhosa with a worried look.

  "It's fine, this building is very durable so it can withstand strong attacks." Aniya analyzed that if Rhosa was saying this, it's because an ability that she has must be pretty potent.

  Rhitta held out her hand with the palm facing a wall in the distance. A small red ball started to manifest and slightly grew until suddenly it burst and turned into a destructive red beam of synergy. The beam of synergy shot directly towards the wall making contact with it, leaving a small cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, you were able to see a small indention in the wall where the beam struck.

  Both Aniya's and Rhitta's eyes widened. This was nothing new to Aniya but to have an ability like this in the first awakening is surprising. Aniya's eyes sparkled so bright and she let out a gigantic smile.

  "You guys are amazing. More, more, more, I need to see more!!" Screamed Aniya. Rhosa and Rhitta were able to tell that she was really enjoying this.

  Suddenly, everything shook...

  As the girl's were showcasing their abilities, everything started to shake. Is something big and catastrophic about to happen!?
