How terrifying it is to change a man’s heart?
The answer is very terrifying.
Then how terrifying it is to not only change his heart but also his mind, personality and very core? Erasing him and putting sothing different in its stead? Making him a completely different person while that ended result is fully aware and conscious about it?
This is also very terrifying.
But what is more terrifying is that man thanking you for transforming his life to sothing better while you are aware of the cruel process you just put him through. It is like reprograming a person’s mind completely... no room for going back or reverting to old habits, changing his heart way beyond anything achievable.
It made shiver in fear.
I know I was acting high and mighty but seeing sothing, feeling it and understanding what it is are completely different stories from just planning for it and getting ready ntally.
I just created a new human in the place of another human and it beca very grateful to . I removed all the hatred towards magic and changed it into admiration and wonder, all the evil into a good well, all the hate into guilt and all treachery into loyalty.
The man that walked in was not the man that walked out.
This was a power mortals shouldn’t possess and I shouldn’t abuse yet it will beco a full ability I can use freely one day.
How terrifying!
It took quite a while to put my head in peace with it and erase all the evidence of my actions. Now Jarl Korir is a new man who will serve Winterhold as a proper Jarl and I will keep my eye on him for the coming few days.
"Why are you so worried?" A voice asked .
I looked back to Alina and sighed.
"Nothing. Just worries of work."
"You are normally not worried of anything."
"... Normally. I am just scared of what might I beco."
"You? Jon Dare?"
"Heh! It is just... things used to be simple. I am good, evildoers are bad, there are lines one shouldn’t cross, I knew I would cross them soday but... it is just that they are really scary. Once you cross these lines, realize what you are capable of and see the outco of your actions... it all feels unsettling."
Alina raised her brows and looked around. She checked that there is no one around us in my office and removed her [Fire Keeper Mask].
"I see that you are troubled, darling. Co here."
She pulled my head and took in a hug.
"You are not a bad person. Maybe a little villain but you are not evil."
"... Yeah." Her logic was a bit confusing.
She let go and looked at .
"You are literally the guy who ca from another world and will slay dragons in the future. I an you shouldn’t be scared just that you got more powerful."
"Hey, don’t use my excuses against ."
"Hehe." She laughed sweetly and looked at again.
"Both you and I know that there are not just excuses. You said it yourself, the first requirent in Cultivating the Essence Energy is to have a strong heart, you are Jon Dare, how can you be scared?"
I felt like her words hit the spot and I smiled wryly. There were many things in this world that I am ready for or I thought I was until I experienced it. The feeling was strange.
And it kept getting stranger for so reason.
"Eeeh... Jon."
I was not sure what this feeling is but Winterhold was rather bright today.
"Jon!"
"Oh, sorry. Yes."
"You are... getting... red?" Alina said sothing strange.
"Excuse ?!"
"You are becoming red? Like... look at your skin for Kyne’s sake."
I looked at my palm and...
"Why am I red?"
Alina touched but she retreated her hand right away.
"Hot!"
"Thanks."
"NO! You are hot."
"Clearly."
"I an your temperature."
"...... Ahaaa!"
I am hot indeed.
I stood up from my chair and opened the window for so fresh cold air to co in but I didn’t get any cooler.
"Alina, I think my Magicka is causing this. It is not moving properly and I can’t use it right. I am about to break through the [Iron Bone Stage]." I understood what was happening in an instant.
As Alina said, ditation is about the heart. Once my heart cald down, I was in a proper condition for a breakthrough and my Magicka started acting up on its own.
"Wh- What should we do?" She asked in worry.
"Teleport sowhere with a lot of snow."
"Yes."
She held my hand and cast a spell, the view around change and I could tell that we are in the snowfield southeast to Winterhold. I sat down right away and started to ditate in the snow.
I could feel Alina sensing my temperature every now and then while piling ice around . Her action seed organized and calculated to not disturb my ditation.
The feeling of a breakthrough was getting nearer and nearer but still taking forever. This was all because of the excessively strong blessing that dear Uncle Sheo bestowed on .
[Blessing of the Mad Champion] was basically similar to the Redguard racial power [Adrenalin Rush] and the Argonian racial power [Histskin] Just similar to the blessing of the All-Maker [Root of Power] that is similar to the Altr racial power [Highborn].
I estimated that a major breakthrough was near after I got that blessing and it is happening right now.
Not sure how much ti passed, my temperature was really rising and I felt that the [Dragon Fra Realm] characteristic of refining the body was functioning to its best, the target of refining this ti was my skin and muscles. The snow around started lting and getting piled by Alina until I felt I was there.
The heat on my skin started to beco unbearable and my clothes started to burn but finally, it all ca down. I was about to wrap it up and open my eyes but I felt that there were still more energies trapped in my core that could be converted to Essence Energy and I kept going further.
My body heated once again but it was not like Major Breakthrough and the heat died down quickly, after so ti it happened one more ti and the heat died down once again. I have advanced three levels in the new stage.
It was then when my rapid growth in strength died down and my ditation returned to its normal speed.
"Wow!"
I opened my eyes and felt very amazing. In front of was a fairy in a red dress ditating in the middle of the snow while floating in the air.
"Show off!"
Alina always liked to ditate while floating. She says that being touched by anything hinders her consecration.
I was about to stand up and check my body but I saw Jull not far from us also sitting in ditation with an orb golden energy being ford between her hands.
"Another show off."
Jull prefers to concentrate the Essence Energy outside her body before absorbing it. Her movents are neat and artistic in my opinion.
Each one of us has his own thod of ’Walking the Way’ and can be said that our unique thod of special ditation is our signature and no one in the world understand it better than us. Normal mages also ditate to increase their Magicka but it is no way near effective like our thod. Maybe the mysterious masters in the [Psijic Order] can be the only ones that can surprise with a unique ditation technique that has sothing to do with the spiritual Essence Energy but I highly doubt it. If they have a thod of ’Walking the Way’ like I do, Mannimarco wouldn’t have chosen to beco a Necromancer for the sake of Immortality.
"You are up?" A voice called for .
"Yes, Alina. You too it seems, any good news?" I said.
"Yes, a breakthrough. I am now at Level 6, Iron Bone Stage." She said while smiling.
"Good job. Congratulations."
"You too, what is your level by now?"
"Level 3 in the new stage, didn’t na it yet."
"Hehe, what are the characteristics?"
"See for yourself?" I said and undid my shirt showing her my skin and muscles.
Alina put her hands on and felt my body carefully. Her brows twitched and she started to touch in every place.
"Tsk." She then clicked her tongue.
"Oi, what’s with that?"
"Jon... no no no, you are good, you are way too good. You managed to make of all people feel envious!"
"What do you an?"
"Look at your skin." She said and glared at as if she will tear a hole through , "It beca stronger and smoother, even your feature beca more handso than before. That skin is making sick with jealousy."
It indeed was the case but was it that good? I don’t feel any difference.
She took out a small dagger and tried to cut my palm but the dagger did nothing.
"You skin is smooth and hard as Jade. How can you think girls won’t be jealous? Humph!" She said.
"Fine fine, be train as hard as you can to reach my level, at least you know what to expect now." I said and patted her head.
"Yeah, just called it the [Jade Skin Stage] and be done with it."
"Yes, my lady. I will do as you wish."
Still, I think her skin is way smoother than mine, I an she is Alina after all.
"So how long passed since I started training?"
"Three days."
"Good, this rapid progress I had lately requires a lot of stabilization. And what did I miss during the past days?"
"Jull said that the small tournant in the casino is over the teams heading to the High King’s Tournant are decided. The Junior Tokens that we had this year are five, one for our company, one for the College, three for local teams. As for the Senior Tokens then we got only two, one is decided for a local team and the other one is with us, I decided to give it to our best warriors in the [Dare Security] if they are interested."
"Good call. How is Jarl Korir?"
"He is doing fine. He is really as you said, a new man. He started to work on the paper you readied for him and a new ’Guard Captain’ was appointed from our ranks. The recruitnt for guards was issued and the [Dare Security] will hand over the places that aren’t part of our company. So people were a bit hostile towards the Jarl but the air around him and his attitude are starting to gain him so popularity among the new locals."
"Good, this is really good news. I can now cut my workload by half but still, I will keep him monitored by [Team 0]. I may have changed his heart but not his soul."
"Jullanar said she that too. She has already put people around him from [Team 0] as a security detail. They will keep you updated."
"Having one-ninth of Skyrim at our pocket!" I said mocking.
"And doing a Goddamn good job keeping it running." Alina assured .
"Thanks." I said and rembered sothing important. "Hey, Jarl Korir and I discussed sothing once I was done with him and reached an agreent, we prepared sothing for you."
"For ?"
"Yes, let’s go see him."
I walked Alina to the Jarl’s longhouse, this thing I had in mind was the last piece in making sure my kingdom remain intact.
