Chapter Twenty-Six: Law!
After I had finished getting dressed, I walked to the main part of the hut where Maya was sitting, looking as if we were waiting for something. “Have you noticed yet?” He asked calmly. “What? You mean the new muscles that suddenly just popped up?”I replied sarcastically. He was drinking from a cup; he slowly lifted it up, took a sip and then placed it back on the wooden table that was nearby. “Energy here is different from the energy from your world, I have heard that in other dimensions energy manifests into things such as electricity but you see, in this dimension the rules are different. Energy in your world is present here but there is also energy that is fuelled by will and the resolve of the user, this kind of energy forms in many different ways depending on the wish of the user. Some forms are more difficult than others but it all depends on the will of the user combined with the skill type and skill level. When you were asleep you willed your energy into being allowing it to course through your body, this caused your body to work of the energy you were providing so as you were sleeping your body was feeding of the energy and repairing itself and later on improving itself to meet your needs.” He took another sip of the drink and continued,” This kind of power when used in extreme cases can break the basic laws that govern this dimension if used correctly, bear in mind this is rare and takes a lot of skill to pull off, Arcani combined her skill, along with her will and knowledge to gain a high level of power instantly but only temporarily.”

I walked closer to him like a moth to a flame, in captivated by what I was hearing.” Are you saying I can do anything as long as I have enough will?” Maya was taking a sip as I was speaking but he instantly stopped and slammed his cup on the table,” No! Do you not understand what I am trying to say,” his sudden backlash was fierce but it as he continued it softened,”Arcani, a being so powerful used such power and still didn’t pull it off. There are consequences to everything we do. There are basic laws that are there to protect and maintain order. I am going to tell you some of them but you must never forget them or try to break them. Firstly, a being must never store more energy than their body can handle. Attempting to bring back or create life is forbidden. God candidates are not allowed to swap weapons, once you have received your weapon you are stuck with it and lastly you must always remember that there are consequences to every action.” I shook my head, trying to understand everything he had just told me. It took a while but I knew what he meant. Maya continued, “Will alone does not define your strength, do not think you are invincible just because you have determination, or factors and laws of this dimension must be accounted for, now go on.”

I walked away wondering what I had said wrong. He was so serious, all I wanted to know was why my body was like this but he had just lectured me. At least I now knew my limits as well as my do’s and don’t. I was sure there was much more to learn but Maya knew I was capable of discovering knowledge for myself.
