"Every second counts, and any mistake has consequences. Especially in battle."
Since a few years ago Azar decided to cultivate a powerful feeling that destroyed many people's lives, drove many to success and glory, and corrupted even the lone pastors. This feeling was responsible for the birth of generations upon generations of humans.
Power could be taken from blodline, from the energy around, from wealth, connections, and information. But also from the mind, heart, emotions, and feelings.
And such a feeling, passion, to be more precise, was what Azar decided to cultivate like any other energy. This feeling had so much power, and so much wasted potential.
Because the energy contained by passion was actually the sexual energy with the power of creation, it had the ability to be transformed and used as any other inner energy. Mental energy, physical energy, healing energy, and offered an increase in strength when it was used.
When someone was aroused, and his sexual energy was stirred, the pain, cold weather, and other sensations, dimmed. That, because the sexual energy had the power to wake up all the energies in the body.
Because of its power and unknown potential, Azar chose to not only use that energy as the core for his purifying flame "Aves", but to cultivate it as one of his sources of power.
Few people are aware of the fact that the sexual energy, be it yang or yin, can be transported from the base of the spine to the crown chakra. Because of its potency and power of creation, this type of energy can expand the chakra pools and supply them with so much power.
That is the main reason why the priests and monks prefer to not have a life partner. They just follow their teachings, but few of them realize the boost in their energetic structure and fields. They harness so much energy instead of wasting it, and the result?
The result is that they reach a level where their energy merges with the body, and the natural way of feeding, changes. They can live without water and food because they arrive at the point where they can feed directly from the life energy around them.
But that's not all. The energy in their body is used for opening the superior chakras as well. This grants them the power of divination, seeing beyond the physical world, astral project and other abilities related to the seventh and sixth chakras.
Some of the life cultivators also reach this level over their lifetime. And something like opening the chakras, and not eating for a period of time, can be done by those who reach the level of an [Aikyam] as well. But not all the people receive the same abilities as their talents are different.
The colossal mistake that most of the men of god make, is that they focus only on the superior chakras. Totally neglecting the lower ones. The lower chakras have the role of keeping the individual grounded in the physical world and reality. They give power, and will, the ability to create, feel, utilize, and connect with the planet and nature. And also, the power to materialize their desires. The names of the chakras and their counting order isn't just a coincidence.
Azar was aware of those facts, and because he needed to live between humans, beasts, and dangers. He couldn't just focus on his superior, energetic centers. He wanted to enjoy the life and reality he lived in. And for that, all the energetic centers needed to be taken care of.
But the way of the monks wasn't for him, so how could he cultivate and increase his sexual energy without losing it? He found the answer in the [Cosmic Library]. The most reliable source of information that he had access to.
The creation energy is released outside the body in the moment of the orgasm. So in order to keep the energy inside the body, a rigorous training is required. By strengthening the pelvic muscles, the individual get control over his orgasmic moment. And by consciously controlling the energy flow, he/she can keep the energy inside the energetic centers, or release it in the body for expanding the meridians and increasing the overall quantity of inner energy.
By doing this, the body experiences some changes in the way of doing things. The results of playing with the energies from first and second chakras is that the individual gets an increase in his focus, physical energy and sexual drive. Those being said, the individual needs to interact more frequently with the opposite gender for exchanging the primordial energies and balancing his own.
In the act of love, a deep connection and a transfer of energy is realized between the partners. But if their energy levels aren't similar, the person with a weaker energy would get tired faster, while the person with a higher drive will remain unsatisfied.
That's the reason why some people need more partners or are unsatisfied in their marriage.
Azar spent a whole year alone in the middle of nowhere, and while he had the means to control, and channel, his yang energy in the other energetic centers, it wasn't sufficient.
He managed to control himself, but when the flame "Aves" erupted inside him, his self control vanished. Because he nurtured his yang for such a long time, the energy became strong enough to break his self control at irregular intervals or at external stimulus.
When he was forced to use the fire, his passion activated as well. After his previous interaction with Esfir, and the outburst of "Aves", Azar knew that he had to leave Elder Soviona's house as fast as possible. Not because of the old lady, but because of the presence of her tempting disciple.
"How can I help you, master?" asked Eno arriving after receiving Azar's telepathic message.
Azar breathed heavily, his muscles contracting without listening to his commands. The air around him was hot, his whole body burning, and his mind unable to enter a meditative state.
"Fight me," he said in a deep voice.
Eno bent his head to the side. "Are you in that period?"
Only from taking a look at his master's, not so good condition, Eno was able to understand the situation. It wasn't the first time that this situation happened, but it never happened in the time when Azar was with Zianne. At that time, he had her as the target of his passion.
"I'm in that fucking period, so come and give me a good beating."
Since Azar could transform his yang energy in other types of energies; such as healing, mental, physical, and inner energy, what he needed to do was consume, then replenish them.
"With pleasure." smiled Eno before turning into a black mist and heading towards the arena. He liked to fight and harm people, but always controlled himself and did that in moderation since he had to change his evil nature little by little.
Azar used his [Void Step] and vanished as well. He arrived faster then Eno, who became upset by the inferior speed of his technique. He's was better in many situations, and both were ranked as Supreme, but when he let his feelings free, this was the result.
The fact that he was still unable to control his negative feelings angered him even more. He felt empty and awful, his mind - tired by the feelings he had, yet he still needed to cope with the situation and move forward. He wanted his soul back.
"When you're ready," Eno said sadly.

Azar didn't respond. He stepped forward and appeared before his seneschal, aiming an energy infused fist at him. The punch connected with Eno's forearm and deviated from the initial trajectory, sending a burst of air in the near space. A low kick followed immediately after, and Eno jumped backwards to avoid it.
Not giving him time to relax, Azar followed short. The air seemed to move out of the way as he advanced, and the heat his body emitted could be felt from a distance.
Eno planted his feet on the ground, taking his stance and blocking his master's rapid attacks. The sky crackled as they clashed without holding back. Amidst the storm of punches, Eno managed to create himself an opening by grabbing Azar's hand. Sending a powerful hook that made even the air swirl around, he was sure that he could catch Azar unprepared.
And as Eno expected, while trying to block his punch, Azar was hit under the ribs by a terrific kick that created a loud explosion and moved him from the spot. The first attack was a faint, having all the qualities of a horrific strike, and Azar fell for it.
Turning around, Eno sent a spinning kick. The motion sending bursts of wind that lifted the dust from the arena. But the attack failed to hit its target as Azar retreated in time. Eno continued with a knee and as his opponent blocked, he sent his leg down, stepping on Azar's foot and blocking his movements.
"Yaa," Shouted Eno directing energy into his voice in order to shake his master's spirit and make him unable to move for a few seconds.
Azar was just annoyed by the sound attack as his spirit and mind were trained enough to resist. He contracted his muscles in an instant and with an impulse in his back foot, he sent a punch that almost teleported on Eno chest.
[ ACKNOWLEDGED! Speed burst technique
This is Azar's self created technique that uses the instant contraction of his muscles to discharge energy and create instantaneous, explosive speed. By sending an impulse in his supporting foot that travels through his body, engaging different groups of muscles, he is able to boost his speed and strength in an instant and for an instant.
The technique puts pressure on the body and extenuates the muscles. This is one of the reasons why Azar breathes with deep breaths from his diaphragm and keeps a relaxed attitude most of the time. Every cell in the fleshy body contains energy absorbed from air and water. By keeping his cells filled with energy, Azar is able to use the instant burst of speed whenever he needs to, have a faster recovering rate, and a higher regenerative capability. ]
Another punch connected with Eno's abdomen, forcing him to step back and lift his foot from Azar's.
Azar went immediately after his opponent, arm blurring as he forced Eno to eat a devastating uppercut that exploded on his chest and sent ripples of energy through all his body.
It was like a slap in the face that woke Eno to reality. Unleashing his power, the seneschal parried the next attacks and connected a solid hit on Azar's ribs before receiving a telegraphic punch straight in his figure.
The ring vibrated, the sky thundered and the wind blasted in every direction under their immense power. Their clashes generated shockwaves of energy that rippled away through the air and disintegrated only after smashing into the barrier of the arena.
Advancing suddenly, Eno slammed into Azar, destabilizing him and grabbing his arm. An elbow hit the latter's ribs and forced the air out of his lungs. Then, like a scythe, Eno's hand went horizontally and claimed Azar's legs. Forcing him to fall on the platform.
On the ground, Azar sent an impulse in his hand and propelled himself away, avoiding Eno's leg that smashed the area into peebles. The force used by the evil spirit was no joke, and showed that he didn't have any intentions of holding back.
When Azar landed, a good distance away, Eno was already there to welcome him with a kick. The former took it without any defense and was sent up in the air. Two more blurring kicks, carrying a heavy pressure that compressed even the air, smashed on Azar's body. This time, he wasn't going to just spit his saliva as a red liquid came out of his mouth.
Without a chance to retaliate, Azar received another hit in midair that slammed him into the ring. The place were he landed became the epicenter of multiple web cracks, thicker then a human's arm.
Eno pressed his foot on Azar's abdomen and grabbed his neck. The protective energy layer that covered the latter's body like a second skin was wavering, unable to fully block the damages received.
Drawing a semicircle in the air, Eno smashed his master on the ring once more. Azar chocked from the impact, the air forced out of his lungs. His blood coming in his head as his face became reddish like a tomato.
Eno raised him in the air and tried to punch him, but Azar was faster and landed a solid kick behind the former's head. Eno felt a sensation of dizziness as he lost the strength of his grip.
Azar acted rapidly, managing to free himself by striking the elbow joint of his opponent with the blade of his hand. Eno was bewildered for a second, but regained focus in time to block Azar's punch and twist his wrist in a strange manner.
"Aaahhh!"
Screaming from the pain, Azar hit the weak spot below Eno's clavicle and jumped back, increasing the distance.
"Was this necessary?" shouted Azar looking at his broken wrist.
"You asked for it," Eno replied shortly.
The groups of soldiers who supervised the area, remained watching the fight between their lords. It wasn't a rare sight to witness the eighth lords sparring with each other, but it was uncommon for the fights to be made from pure hand to hand combat.
The loud sounds and outbreaks of energies attracted more and more groups of people that came to watch and learn. It was a great idea to not place the arena inside the city, otherwise, who could sleep in peace with such display of power.
Azar blocked an incoming high kick, and dodged the following one. His stinging wrist stopping him from using his main, right hand, any further. His hand wasnt in functioning condition, but Eno suffered as well since his nerve was numb and unresponsive after Azar hit that weak spot.
Eno advanced, but was stopped by a kick that dug straight into his abdomen. The power forcing him to bent forward as spit dripped out from his open mouth. Azar followed with his knee, aiming at Eno's head.
However, Eno managed to dodge in time and hit the inner region of Azar's leg. Losing his balance when planting his foot on the ground, Azar couldn't block the next attack that hit him behind the knee, and fell forward. Eno kicked him like a meat ball, sending his master crushing on the barrier.
The barrier rippled, the impact shocking the spectators who didn't expect the fight to be so serious.
"Is this enough?" Eno asked loudly. He wasn't sure if he needed to continue or not.
"Yeah, I think I'm good," replied Azar getting up on his but and circulating his healing energy.
Noticing that the fight has ended, everyone watching from the sides left without daring to interrupt the recuperation of the lords. Eno was able to use his energy to heal himself, but because he wanted to help Azar, he went to be healed as well.
"Master, you hit like a lady," teased the seneschal smiling from ear to ear.
"If you ever meet one that hits like me, then you should never upset her," responded Azar, returning the smile.
. . .
In the eastern part of Rivero city, in a common, yet welcoming house, the floral perfume was accompanied by a sweet, singing voice. The walls of the house were covered by flowers, the furniture was minimal and there was a lot of free space.
The energy could circle unrestrained inside the house, perhaps that was the reason why the atmosphere was filled with an optimistic air. This was one of the houses given to the girls saved from slavery and prostitution that graduated the Rehabilitation Program and chose to become citizens of Rivero City.
[ ACKNOWLEDGED! Rehabilitation Program
The healing program for the people in need contains 3 stages.
A process of mental, spiritual and body cleaning that every person saved by the Midnight squads benefits from. The role of this step is to clear the mind, aura and all energetic structures of the people who went through different hardships such as abduction, slavery, prostitution, beating, etc.
A process of healing where the people start to accept, overcome and heal their minds, bodies and energetic structures. Most diseases, physical, or mental wounds are healed by specialists.
A reintegration process where the people learn to accept and see the good side of the world. They start to develope their hobbies, pick a carrier and path of evolution to specialize and walk on. ]
Reeya was such a girl. Saved from slavery almost three years ago, she found a reason to live and a new life in this place. Even though she was away from her family, she preferred to live in Rivero City from reasons known only by herself. Singing and feeding her flowers with energy, she emitted a warm and positive aura that attracted both people and animals.
Usually, she didn't had many guests daring to knock on her door at such hour, but now, she had someone. Stopping her work, she hurriedly grabber a pan and went to the door in silence. If it was one of her girlfriends, then it was fine, but if it was someone else...
She slowly looked through the small window in the door and sure enough, the person paying her a visit wasn't one of the girls. But not a dangerous person either, or was he one...
Without waiting another moment, Reeya opened the door and greeted her guest. "Azar, what a pleasant surprise," she welcomed him with a large smile.
Azar and Reeya knew each other and even spent some moments together before the former entered a relationship. After that, he didn't came to visit her too often, but the girl still had a good opinion about him. After all, he was one of the persons who saved and took care of her.
Azar just wandered around the city, without a goal or destination In mind, and only trying to calm himself as the fight didn't manage to fully subdue his condition. And he didn't want to experience anymore pain for the night.
Passing by Reeya's house, he felt a peaceful energy coming from inside, and since he knew the person living there, he thought of paying a visit after assuring that she was alone.
"Hi! Mmm . . . are you going to hit me with that?" he asked pointing at the pan in the girl's hand, not knowing if he did something that required another beating or not.
