--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOD’s POV

“The day is ending and we were supposed to fix everything tomorrow, but I changed the plan so they’ll have to know because they too are part of my plan. So now I’ll just have to go and gather the Elements and explain to them my plan now where are they? No matter I will just call out to them.”

ELEMENTS! Come forth!

One by the one the elements started to form in front of me as I stood there in the darkness waiting for them.

ELEMENTS : Why have you called us God?

I have called you here to discuss things that will happen. Tomorrow we will no longer be fixing the sphere ourselves and from this point on the sphere will be called World, and the name of this world will be AMARANTH. Are we clear?

ELEMENTS : Yes God. But why won’t we be fixing the world ourselves?

Technically you will be helping but you will not do the work yourselves, I will explain that later. As for the reason about us no longer doing the job of fixing the world itself I gave it to my creation, Adam. I know that you all know that I wanted to have a creature of my own and that is why I asked for this day. I talked to him awhile ago for I made him sentient like you, don’t worry I also made the other creatures sentient but not all and I did it randomly. So I gave him the task of fixing the world or rather putting things in place and maintain order. Your part is that you will be the ones to tell him about his mission as I want you to go and accompany him in his task.

ELEMENTS : But how will we do that? And accordingly what would he do for technically we are the ones who created the world with your help so as the creators with just one flick of our hands the mission is done. And if we go inside the world won’t we be leaving our current bodies? So who will maintain the world, as we do not want for God to do the entire job?

No need to fret as I have thought out about this plan. Indeed you will be leaving bodies but you can leave a bit of yourself to your body as you go and make it so that it will maintain the world and just go possess a creatures body of your liking, however as you have said since you are the strongest beings out there aside from me, you will be reverted to the most basic and lowest form of the creature of your choice, but as you possess a creature you will gain its knowledge, the instincts it follows furthermore as you possess a creature its potential for growth will be limitless as you are the origin of elements, don’t celebrate yet for your powers will be limited and you will only regain back your power as you grow and evolve like other creatures. Isn’t it fun? Now as my creations entertain me by giving me something to look forward to!

ELEMENTS : Yes God!

One last thing you all will not be going directly to Adam but you will wait for him to find you and where you will hiding will depend on you if you want to stick together and let him find you all at the same its your choice but if you want to go separate ways and make him find you one by one is also your choice. As for your forms after you possess a creature you will reverted to the most basic form, which is an EGG. If you choose the second option I will place a blessing on you so that you won’t be hatching until he finds you so as to make you grow alongside him and not without him.

So now you should go and find a creature to your liking and possess it you have a month to do so for after a month my blessing on him will be gone and I will inform him of you, and give him a bit of help, as he will be able to sense where you are, no matter how far or near you are from, but don’t worry as I will only let him sense your general location. Okay now go!

ELEMENTS : Thank you God! See ya!

“Go and enjoy your own world my creations.”

ELEMENTS’ POV

FIRE : God is really brilliant I love his ideas!

LIGHTNING : I agree, not only I but we all do.

VOID : So what’s your plan guys?

TIME : We have a month to do what God told us which is to find a creature to our liking and take its body as our own, since I am time itself, I can put a blessing on all of us for us not feel the time and just let a month pass as soon we possess a creatures body, we will be put into a state of sleep and will only wake up once Adam finds us.

DARKNESS : Great idea. Any of you have anything to say about us keeping company for Adam?

OTHER ELEMENTS : None.

DARKNESS : I do. I say we call him master and obey his every command for I believe that God intended for Adam to lead us.

LIGHT : I will have no complaints to your proposition, and firmly agree that what you said maybe the truth.

WATER : Indeed. Anything more we need to talk about?

EARTH : Except for us deciding if will be sticking together or not and our choice of creatures, none I guess?

WIND : Let’s decide by telling our chosen creatures, and pointing as to where we found it. We can all sense every creature here in this world so for now we will stay here and find our chosen creatures.

ALL ELEMENTS : The search is on!

After a while.

LIGHTNING : Found mine! Over there!

FIRE : Mine is over there.

WATER : Look over there there’s mine.

One by one all the elements pointed to different directions and decided they’ll split up.

ELEMENTS : This is it. Till we meet again!

Streaks of light with different colors flashed through the sky and arrived at different parts of the world. Each element possessing a creature then pillars of light rises up in to the sky lighting up the night, after the light disperses, from where it originated eggs could be seen lying there unmoving waiting for its master to find it.

ADAM’s POV

“So how should I do this? God told me I have a month to adapt to this environment and learn how to be strong in order to survive, but he did not tell me what to do. Guess I’ll just figure it out on my own.”

Having though of nothing, I decided that first thing I should do is to observe my environment, and its inhabitants. I kept walking trying to find any creature that I could find however I still could not find one, however I will not give up. I continued searching for God knows how long, when suddenly I tripped because of a protruding rock I did not see. At that point a realization came unto me, that I should have seen that rock effortlessly but wasn’t able to do so, as the things I was looking was different from it, this lead me to a conclusion that maybe they are in places where I could not see them. Hiding should be the first thing they do and the reason why I hadn’t seen any creature was because they were hidden. In my case I won’t need to hide as of the moment for I have God’s blessing as long as I do not will it that I be seen they will not be able to find me.

I sat down contemplating on what to do in order for me to see them. I sat there for awhile then thought of trying to focus only on one thing, I tried to only focus on my sense of hearing, and miraculously I was able to hear better, I then tried it on my eyes and unexpectedly I could see through a long distance not only that I could also differentiate living from non-living as what has God has told, they also created non-living things such as trees, rocks and all considered as non-living but he also explained to me that everything has an essence so maybe the concept of living and non-living is a bit broad.

Remembering Essence, another question popped in his mind.

“God said that I absorb energy ten times more than all the other creatures, but how? And where is this essence, how do I know if I am absorbing it? I don’t see anything different. I guess I will just have to practicing focusing more. I’m done with my eyes and ears, considering what God told me about my body, I still do not know how I look.”

I stood up and tried to find water as it will help me see what I really looked like. Upon arriving on a lake I stood beside the water and looked down. As I looked down I was mesmerized with how I looked. I was a bit small with slender but a bit toned arms and legs, a body that is well toned, pale white skin and pure white hair, that is a bit spiky but not messy (For a better Imagination think of Killua from Hunter X Hunter, as a 5yr old kid) and I was naked. So I decided to just stay there and do my concentration training. At first I had a hard time finding the best position for me to concentrate, then when I sat cross-legged, arms at rest on his legs, I found peace and was able to drift into a state I just discovered. A state like being asleep yet is awake, I tried to do things but he could not move so he decided to just dive a bit into that state and saw the inside of my own body, I tried to figure out things and what is the best thing to do. I entered into where in the future would be called as being one with nature, a state where one clears his mind and is able to feel everything around him, this is the discovery of Meditation.

I sat there unmoving, for quite a long time. Two weeks have passed since I started to concentrate. This type of training is time consuming but is the most worth it. In Amaranth the concept of time is as arranged by God as he wanted. In a day there are twenty-four hours half of it consists of Day while half it consists of Night. In a week there are seven days, a month there are five weeks, a year consists of fifteen months.

My training paid off as I discovered how to best train my body, and that is just to absorb Essence the more essence I absorb the stronger I become, and since God has so willingly made my body a natural essence absorber I devised my plan of training for the remaining days. Since two weeks has passed I still have three weeks before God’s blessing on me disappears, so I will absorb essence for two more weeks and on the last week I will go and try to learn the ways of the wild, learning and assimilating the creatures skills.

“From now on I will call these creatures as Beast as it sounds better than creatures, and possibly after encountering if not all of them then the most of them I will make a classification for them, naming each of them would be good too.”

The two weeks I planned for absorbing essence is now about to end and I am about to go hunt again but now I am far better and maybe I will be able to find them now. From my meditation I discovered that the best way to absorb essence is first to feel it, then will it to enter your body after entering the body fuse it to each part of your body, as it is fused it make the body parts stronger, more flexible and durable, and now I can even see it with my naked eyes God’s gifts for me are really splendid.

Now, let’s try looking for the beasts but first I’ll try to make up a few moves of my own so that if ever I will encounter danger I’ll be able to protect myself. I curled my fingers forming a fist then throw it into air then I tried to make motion where I throw my legs around either making a sweep of a push. I made variations with my punches and kicks, the directions, the height, the positions of each punch and kick. That took up at least three days for me to get used to it.

I finished up what I was doing and started hunting. This time I could feel my surroundings very well, and can determine where the beasts are. After a few hours I encountered my first beast but thanks to God’s Protection it was not able to sense me at all. I observed the somewhat furry type beast, it is bipedal like me but the thing is its wrist is surrounded by fire and on its head is not hair but fire, it is not bulky but is rather a bit lean but its muscles are toned, I decided to call this beast Fire Ape. I followed it as it walked through the forest then suddenly it sensed something and went into my direction!
