Hiraeth chapter 6: Yni

Hey guys I am sorry about all the grammatical and possible spellings mistakes I have made in here I wrote it in the middle of the night I will possibly read over it tomorrow to see if I can find some but for now enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The real challenge of solving a problem is not finding the solution to it but finding the end result it is preventing

Because knowing the right goal to reach is just as important as reaching the right goal

___________________________________________________________________________

“God, I made Ugo so mad what am I going to do about this?!”

*Sigh “I should just do whatever I can to help him solve his home problems and hope he forgives me for this”

*Now where is the best place to go to look for information*

*Hold on a moment, I can’t just go around and ask for information if Ysbryd found out about the hidden lake all the work would be for naught*

*But what can I do but just ask around?*

“ARGH! Why can’t there just be a simple solution to anything in life!”

*But I can’t just leave it alone now after I made such a high and mighty statement*

“!@#$ Frazzlin, dadgummit why did I have to act so high and mighty”

“Just because you have a little experience being bullied doesn’t mean you get how you can overcome systemic oppression. I’m such an idiot… now how am I going to solve this mess I’ve made?”

*Bump “Ouch, my butt I didn’t mean to fall down instead of sitting down”

Ugh *I know being angry about it isn’t helping me at all but I just don’t know what to do*

*Great now I am making excuses not just to others but to myself as well*

“I’ll just watch the sun set”

I watch the sun set slowly but surely. Closing my eyes I can’t help but feel a little bit anxious.

“What is going to happen to them if I do nothing?”

*Well I already know the answer to that question though*

“I watched it happen hundreds of times in the past. They’re just going to be isolated and hit until they are bored of it and leave them to suffer on their own”

*But here they will die the moment the Ynni lose their patience. Even though I know that I don’t dare to say it out loud because of them*

“It is completely dark now”

“Just like the setting sun, if I wait for too long it will be too late to do anything when it finally sets and I am losing time with every moment I spend doing nothing here”

“I can’t stay like this forever I’ll have to make a decision soon even though I know that”

*Why don’t I feel like doing anything? Actually now that I think about it my mood has been changing so rapidly ever since I came here to this new world. Hm would there be a reason for that or am I seeing too much in it?*

“Though I don’t want to wait too long before doing something but now that it is night I can’t really do anything”

*Although now that I think of it I have vaguely feeling this Yni for a while now and I think I might actually be able to use it like an echolocation, if I succeed I could go out in the night even though there is no sunlight*

*Well when I am like this I can’t really sleep anyways so I might as well try it out now*

“Ok first I have to empty my mind”

Breathe in, breathe out

Breathing in, breathing out

*Now focus and let out a pulse just like a loud yell*

“Ha!”

I feel a pulse of energy leave my body all around me and in the same moment I feel the surroundings.

“I can only feel about five steps away from me. I can’t really use that now it seems I have think this over again but I won’t give up on searching for clues tonight I just have to think of a new plan”

“Hm” I let out a low sound while sitting down to think of a way to see in the dark.

*Actually now that I think about it I talk an awful lot to myself don’t I? No no I have to focus right now*

“Sitting still in the middle of the night was not exactly my best idea, brr this is cold”

Well at least that woke me up. That is it, the Ynni are beings of Yni and even though they look translucent but you think of it if Ynni are visible and made of Yni that means Yni has to either reflect light or send out light.But being translucent they don’t reflect light so even though I didn’t notice it in the middle of the day I can make light with Yni.

“Now I just have to figure out how to make light with Yni, yeah right that isn’t going to be so easy”

Sigh “This is going to be an all nighter”

I am going to need a way to make light sooner or later in this place without lamps so if I can figure it now that is better than bumping into that problem later so I’ll have to push information gathering forwards to tomorrow or is it today I don’t know the time right now it might be after midnight?

First try: I gather Yni from all over my body and try to concentrate it in one place thinking that the difference between an Ynni and my echo is just the concentration. Well obviously that failed at the concentrating step.

*When talking to others I just let it flow out naturally but how do I actually manipulate that?*

*In all of my books you just had to imagine it but no way that works, not even muscles work by imagining them to do so why would something like this do?*

*I can’t see it, I can’t hear it so the only thing I can do is what I have been doing is feeling for Yni and see if I can notice something I can use*

Having finally found what I am supposed to do right now I start searching for a way to manipulate Yni.

I think the best way to search for a solution is systematically so I should focus on one thing at a time from down to the upper part of my body resting on the things I feel are peculiar.

Toe for toe I search for something peculiar while moving my way up my body I go from my toes to my feet to my soles through my legs into my knees over to my back and into my back when I take a break.

“I have searched all the way from my legs to my back and found nothing interesting but one hell a lot of muscle pain, I didn’t even know it was hurting that much. But even though I haven’t found anything interesting I have realized something, thinking about this. Yni is something new to me so looking over every part of this body I have known for 17 years is kind of pointless I would have noticed if something was different so maybe I should be focusing on something else”

There is only one thing new in my body to focus on and that is the slow river flowing through my body… that is so obvious why didn’t I think of that before: New thing Yni + new thing flowing like water through me = obviously the same.

If I was watching myself from somewhere I would surely facepalm at this sight.

“But now I have a clue I can do something now”

Saying that I start focusing on the flow of energy in my body and start experimenting.

Exercise 1: try to stop the energy flow at any point in my body.

I try to stop the energy at the most convenient place for me if I am going to explore, my hands. Strangely enough there is nothing to stop it with so why would it stop?

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

But if there is nothing to stop it with how is it flowing through my body then? Normally you’d stop it at the place it starts flowing from but where is that?

Thinking that I try to search through my body quickly before finding the place where everything is flowing through and from my stomach.

“If it comes from my body could it be a physical process? Then maybe it could be something really running through my body if I make a small wound then it would flow out with my blood I could try that out”

Wanting to make a small clean wound I am searching for something in my surrounding I can use because I am not going to be so stupid as to try and make a small wound by biting on my thumb that is just stupid you would crush it before it would start bleeding.

“Ah, a sharp stone here perfect!”

I make a small wound in my arm near the place I perceived my Yni to flow through and just as expected I found my Yni flowing out through the wound.

“So that means it is going through my body physically, but if that is true how did I send out that echo wave and how can others hear my thoughts through Medi Lydd then?”

“If they can hear me then it has to go out of my body somehow”

“Maybe if I try another echo and focus on where my energy is going out from I could figure it out”

I breathe slowly to calm my mind while trying to focus on my Yni as hard as I could before.

“HA!”

I send out the echo making the answer as clear as day.

*It goes right through my skin, but if it doesn’t leak out normally does that mean there are some kind of pores to let out my Yni?*

*If it works like that I could try to find and focus on how to control them*

With that thought in mind I trained until: “Ah, the sun it is morning already?”

“I didn’t even notice the time I took to figure out how to control these pores”

“But I really should stop calling them pores because I have no ideas what they are so what should I call them?”

“Well anything will do a name is not really that important anyways, I’ll just call them mandels… yeah my naming sense is still terrible like always seems like my mood changes haven’t affected that in the least”

*Yawn

Despite being as tired as I was I forced my body towards the lake of Ys-Bareths to gather information.

Having gained confidence from solving the mystery behind the flow of Yni in my body I decided to challenge the remaining question I had.

“Who is the best person to start searching for information?”

“... maybe I should just go there and see what I can find that feels like the best solution”

*That didn’t take very long, to lose my confidence that is. I could figure out the secret behind Yni flow but thinking of who to ask for information is too hard for me* Sigh

Moving towards Ys-Bareth I start looking around.

My mind comforted by a softly blowing breeze following the waving leaves and the trees swaying at the rythm of the wind.

Feeling the grass flowing with the wind touch my feet and the bright blue sky floating above I see the slow Ynni hiding in the shadows.

“See what do we have here, the human is walking alone out here damn if I was to decide we would have rid ourselves from this human the moment he came here. Why would Ysbryd leave him alone to do as he pleases he is ruining our wonderful land!”

“You think he is bad the Unicorns way worse, they’re really terrible trampling all over our land galloping over the plants poisoning the drinking water with their terrible smelly mouths”

“Well at least they are not like the Ezekiel they just leave their prey rotting everywhere that is just disgusting at least you can talk some sense into the human and Unicorns but the Ezekiel are just ugh”

“Even if you say you can talk some sense into the Unicorns they are so stubborn on drinking from our lake, why can’t they just go somewhere else this is ours. Why do we have to share with others!”

“Ysbryd really has to do something about this I don’t want to live together with these beasts nearby it is nauseating just thinking about that”

I just can’t keep on listening to this.

*I moved away because I just couldn’t bear to hear any more slandering of his name. But do they really hate everyone else so much? Well it’s time to figure it out because that is what I went out to do over here*

Thinking that I walked around until I heard some Ynni talking.

“There is some wonderful dew today don’t you think so?”

“Yes indeed, sadly the wind didn’t bring any good rain today so we are left with nothing but air moisture”

“Well we can always go bathe a bit in Ys-Bareth’s lake haha”

“Well lets just hope there are no beasts around”

“Oh, don’t worry we have been keeping them away wonderfully lately, almost none have been coming by to defile our sacred reservoir”

“Well that wasn’t awfully useful”

*Lets continue for a while I shouldn’t give up too quickly*

It didn’t take long before finding another conversation.

“These unicorns have been pestering us for way too fucking long damn cursed beasts”

“Ha! you haven’t even been here for half as long as me they are way worse than you think they are, stepping on OUR lands destroying whatever they please just because they are ‘hungry’ goddamn egotist and if that wasn’t enough already they also dare defile our woods!”

“Don’t even speak of defiling woods they are terrible, everywhere I go I find their vile yellow water it’s abhorrent”

“You’re dreaming, you thought that was the worst they’d do? Look at their excrement I’m not even speaking about the Yni it leaks even just the sight of that brown sickening mass of toxicity they spread, what depraved beasts would drop such a thing!”

“If that was the worst of it it could still be acceptable but oh god the attitude, disgusting self righteous ‘everyone deserves to live’ people it seriously revolts me to even think of it. As if any one of them deserves to have a place on this planet”

“Stop being so nice to them, just call them out on their all nicey social act it is bogus! They are just as bad as all the others the self centered wankstains. They should just be eaten by the Angrezi that would teach them a lesson”

“I can’t hold it in seeing the images these people are sending out, I wouldn’t wish upon anyone such an end”

Sadly I ended up vomiting after trying to hold it in the images kept on flashing through my mind of the unicorn… I don’t want to imagine it again.
