“Why does mana in the world react with our body to produce only a particular elental essence? Why cannot one wield all the elents? Why does the percentage of elental affinity one has matter?
“Why is thunder superior to fire if both are just a subsidiary of the world’s mana? ” Oogway asked Ronan , as he wanted to invoke curiosity in the young one’s mind , as he paused to let Ronan process these questions for a bit before continuing as he said
” When a human child is born , that is considered the best ti to asure his/ her talent and elental affinity… why is that the case?
it is because the world’s mana had not yet reacted with their bodies hence traces of other elents will not be present in the bodies.
Humans develop elental affinity in their mother’s womb itself during the third trister as that is the ti when they form their dantian.
The dantian is a small organ that is connected to the spinal cord at the very end of the human body , just above the prostate gland.
Every species that can weild mana must have a dantian in their body , as it is the gift of lord Shiva that allows races to beco elental users.
The DNA in one’s body defines the characteristic of the dantian , which is nothing more than a filter for the world’s mana..
The dantian is the heart of the mana circuit , as the worlds mana absorbed in one’s mana circuit is pumped through to the dantian before being absorbed into the bloodstream , which is why humans are born with a peculiar elental affinity , as their dantian naturally filters out the world’s mana to only let a specific elental affinity pass through into the bloodstream.
The percentage ratio in which the dantian filters the world’s mana is the elental affinity that the crystal shows you , as 40% fire 40% water etc.
Do you understand this concept till this point boy? ” .
Ronan was lost in the profoundness of the revelations that he had just heard , as chanakya who was sitting beside him looked even more dazed than he was , as both of them forgot that Oogway even existed for a mont as they tried to process the information they had just gotten.
It was only after Oogway coughed twice did they break out of their stupor and ask him to continue.
Oogway sighed as he said ” However the dantian is not alone in determining one’s elental affinity , it’s their entire being that evolves from birth to adapt to the dantian.
This is the reason why by dantian transplant one cannot change their elental affinity , and why you are not hunted since birth for your superior elent.
Which is because , the blood vessels , the organs and the heart , every fibre of an elental users being is designed to be in accordance with that elent , as the body as a whole is a smooth machine with many interconnected parts.
replace one , and it will never run the sa again , which is why one is stuck with the elental affinity they are born with”.
What Oogway was basically trying to say was that not only Ronan’s dantian , his blood vessels his heart , every organ in his body was designed to handle 95% thunder and 5% fire essence flowing through the blood , as no other essence would be permitted in any other ratio in his body.
Understanding this concept Ronan nodded in acknowledgent and signalled for Oogway to continue.
Oogway said ” That is about the origins of elental affinity , now let’s talk about the nature of elents , and why so are stronger than the other.
This is because of the fact that so elents are closer to the true nature of mana than the other .
Mana is the energy that creates and mana is the energy that destroys. Lord Shiva himself wields pure mana , as the world itself is pure fuel for his needs.
Following closely behind are the forbidden elents , that have nearly the sa constitution as mana , except for the part that gives life.
They are forces of destruction , similar to what lord Shiva wields himself when he enters a rage.
Under the bright blue heavens , no elent can counter the power of the forbidden elents , which is why their users are so feared and killed on sight. As letting them live was basically akin to raising a tiger as a roommate. Bound to end badly.
Next are the superior elents having a 70% nature similar to pure mana , boasting incredible strength.
Clans with superior elent bloodlines have usually risen to form great empires and even today command respect throughout Everlon.
Coming below them are the four basic elents at 50% , followed by inferior elents at 20% , which only leave the variants .
Variants are elental affinities that don’t fall under these categories and have wierd and unique properties. However never has there been a variant in the history of Everlon with a mana sync rate of over 50% , as all variants are basically Inferior elent users or only slightly better than them.”.
Explaining this much , Oogway spat so blood from his mouth , as although Ronan and chanakaya were unaware , he was actually trying to supress the presence of the forbidden elent within Ronan’s blood to atleast buy him a few years ti to grow in peace.
Currently the forbidden energy in his blood was on the cusp of breaking through and leaking out and was incredibly taxing to supress.
Life force was the only energy that could counter the destructiveness of golden thunder as Oogway had to sacrifice centuries of his life to only buy a few years ti for Ronan .
This was a selfless sacrifice on Oogways part , as Ronan’s pureness moved his heart to make this choice.
Noone had told him to do Ronan this favour , the one favour that he owed chanakya was already being paid back by the knowledge he imparted to Ronan . However even then he chose to do this favour for Ronan , as seeing the kid Oogway found a trace of hope in his heart.
A hope that maybe , this kid could one day bring order to this accursed world by standing at the very peak of it.
Having lived for 100,000 years Oogway had seen it all , yet throughout history he could only na 2 individuals that were even remotely comparable to Ronan Draco. Both of them his progenitors , who used their powers for evil.
However both of them had pitch black souls corrupt with the devil’s influence damned to burn in hell for the rest of eternity. However Ronan was different.
The continent still felt the effects of the two great sinners , even after centuries had passed since their death , and none of it was good.
However if Ronan would soday righteously stand at the peak of the world , just what kind of a continent would he create with his purity?
would he create a utopia for everyone and usher in a new golden age for mankind? or would he turn evil just like his ancestors?
Although Oogway did not know the answer to that question , he knew that if he did not do this kid this favour , he would never find out .
Hopefully his dreams would soday co true ….
