i smiled but shook her head. "No, it has nothing to do with the river." she replied.
"The River of Destiny is my core power. But we, Destiny Spirits, are a bit special, too."
"If you are one with the Spirit Essence, you already know where the spirits co from, don't you? You can tell they co from you right now."
Matt nodded at her. "That's right. I was talking to him, and I heard about several things. Does it have anything to do with that?" he asked, and she nodded.
"It was the Spirit Essence that tried to solve the problem of the Spirits of Destiny. We were just a spirit with trendous power, but we could only use it to see destiny. Our protection depended on others, so we occasionally died helplessly. We were the most pitiful kind of Spirit. And so our progenitor wanted to solve the problem in a different way."
"He ca up with a great idea then. To create spirits with exceptional and powerful abilities, with no attacking power because we cannot attack, but which could be used for defense and would be the most impeccable defense that could exist. Those spirits joined us through a spiritual bond, the deepest connection ever created.
Thanks to that, we now have how to defend ourselves." After saying this, she stopped before the river and grabbed so water. Then suddenly, a great spirit ca out of the water and manifested in front of her.
The Spirit was shaped like a giant whale, so it was gigantic and looked imposing.
i smiled, "That connection I have with this little beast. Though it cannot speak, its function is only to allow to have one more ability." She said, looking at Matt out of the corner of her eye.
After that, she suddenly moved, causing the huge whale to return to the water and pulling out another spirit residing there.
As soon as she did this, that other Spirit had the instinct to attack her. Since he had been pulled out of his ho, how could he not attack? But she raised her other hand to the beast and stared at it.
She imdiately activated that ability.
"Absorption." She said softly.
Imdiately, the Spirit marked as the target of her ability tried to move, but in a mont, a great amount of power ca out of him. The more seconds passed, the more power ca out until suddenly, the Spirit fell into the river, powerless.
"Its na is Absorption. No one dares to ss with because of this. Whenever that person attacks or has thoughts of doing so, I can activate my ability and absorb all his power. It doesn't matter if he is Spirit, human, vampire, or any race; if he is marked by my ability, he will lose all his power."
After saying this, she sent that stolen power back into the river, which took it upon itself to deliver it once again to that Spirit.
Matt was shocked when he saw this. "Absorption? That power you absorb, does it beco your power?" he asked.
She nodded. "Temporarily. We, spirits of destiny, are very limited. We are born with a fairly high base power and an incredibly high ntal power, but we can't grow anymore from there. That's why that power will belong to temporarily. Until I use it, I can return it to its original recipient or spread it around the world." He replied.
"I will be able to use that power?"
She nodded. "Thanks to the deep connection we have, you also have, to so extent, a contract with that whale. So it shouldn't be much different for you. Maybe you can use it better because, from the start, you're an attacker." Your next read is at m v|l-e'-
Matt frowned. 'Even if it's only temporarily, it's still a surprising buff. These spirits can beco so amazing it's scary.' Matt thought.
He never thought there would be soone capable of taking away soone else's power. That's pretty scary if you think about it carefully.
She smiled to see him thinking like that. "Well, don't worry. Only I have that power. My sister has another one, and we don't like to fight. Although I like adventures, I've never thought of trying to fight anyone. I'm only interested in understanding Destiny." She said, raising her hand gently towards the river before her.
"My function as an existence is to understand it and take care of it. I cannot break certain boundaries, but to so extent, I am a person who sees the future. It is because of that that I am not interested in anything current; I am only interested in knowing the future. And that future will eventually beco what I don't care about, for it will be the present.
As long as the world exists, my existence will remain locked in that infinite loop, where the present does not matter to except to gain more power and wisdom to understand the future." As she spoke, many spirits gathered around her.
They danced softly to the sound of her beautiful voice, which made everything in this world more colorful, even in Matt's eyes.
But Matt found that to be a curse rather than sothing to be proud of.
'She was born to see destiny, which ans seeing the future. Her very existence is based on worrying about that future that doesn't exist right now but which she knows will happen...' He sighed.
"I find your situation very pitiful." He said, and she smiled.
"Everyone says so. That we are slaves to destiny, but isn't that what we like? If we like sothing, we want to do it continuously."
Matt smiled. "In any existence, doing the sa thing a thousand tis becos monotonous. The situation becos monotonous, isn't it the sa for you?" he asked.
"No, I can do the sa thing many tis and never get bored if I like doing it. Seeing the destiny, isn't that my destiny?" she asked, and he smiled.
"That makes you a slave to destiny. But who says we're not? Maybe we're all slaves to destiny, after all." He asked and looked at her.
"Let ask you, you, as a spirit of destiny, have you ever seen soone break their own destiny? If soone dies young because soone made a mistake in killing them, does it count as breaking destiny? Or are they simply fulfilling one of several destinies they had?" he asked.
She stared at him for a brief mont. As soone who understands destiny better than anyone else, she understood what he was getting at.
