SEVEN
I sit down at the fire and start eating the soup that was made by berrall hoping his words would help me understand. something that will help me gain some sense of knowing some sense of perception of what is happening to me.
Adam, I stopped him as he finally said my name correctly this time. However he didn't stop speaking continued on and he said many years ago I came to this earth as just a man like you. I did not know how or why but I knew I had something in me that was bigger than what this world has to offer. I snickered thinking of how massive he was when he transformed. My father was gone and I had been taken in by a very wise man. He was a mentor at the time he was a druid a man who had been around much longer than I have been. in my many years I do not understand why I was given this gift but I have learned to accept it I've learned to use it I've gained many powers.
Burrell looked me deep in the eyes and he said with compassion this is something that nobody chooses you are chosen. this power that flows through us is power from the earth there's power from the cosmos, it's given it is not taken. We all have access to this however it was lost to mankind long ago. you must understand I'm much older than you think to give you an idea I've been around since the days of the old earth. the power has been imbued in me with the tattoos that I have all over my body I have a connection to this world, this earth, to God. The tattoos like the stone you have gives me the ability to use this light. I have used this gift to help maintain and keep balance from the evil. The dark, the oppiste of the light is all around and constantly trying to over come the good.
It has been a lonely journey but with my friend falcor whom I met many years after I received my tattoos. Connected to the earth it is with these tattoos that I'm able to speak with animals I'm able to heal I'm able to use the core power that comes from Gaya. I'm able to guide it and use it in ways that only help those that don't know what the real world is. I'm here to protect them from that which they canot see. When I met falcor he was a mere cub his mother had left him he was alone scared had no idea what this world was but I felt connected as my power my druid sense my connection to the earth was a bear.
I first learned I was able to become a bear very quickly it is in my nature be ferocious, be something more be something that can attack and be scary at the time. there wasn't much I had seen in this world. I had seen a bear once and I watched him tear apart my father he shredded him to nothing. So in my head that was the animakl that terrified me so wanted to become this to envoke the fear into my enemies. I had mother Gaya spoke to me when my tattoos were completed
She said use the heart of the bear to help protect me and all my children.
that is when i became Barrell at this time I don't remember what my real name was anymore. In hundreds and hundreds of years roaming this world alone. I lose simple ways to communicate and loose perception from what you humans do on a daily basis. I was drawn to you because of the power that you now yield. You will need guidance your decisions as a human with your limited ability to understand what truly is going on outside of your own existence. Your mind has been polluted by years of ignorance and lies. The powers that are out there are larger than you can even fathom.
I woke up just a few days ago and heard a call for help. I believe it was gaya, however I haven’t spoke with her in millennia. I know you did not call me however the power you've been given is the power that I yield through my body. It is the power that needs guidance and you young one need to understand how important this is.
There is a man and I don't know if I can call him a man anymore I knew him when I was young but he has become something that I cannot understand or fathom the darkness has reached his soul the darkness is touched him in a way that has changed him so I am here now to help you because this man seeks what you now hold your influence is everything the influence you've been given the light as I call it is now a part of you you must surrender to any thoughts of things you knew as this world happens you must now stand tall and proud and use this power for you and those that want to take it. The faceless man his name was Kushim. He was much much older than me when I first met him and already at that time he had a small piece of humanity left in him. He did help to tattoo me and for a couple hundred years we had a few adventures. The last time we met he was completely consumed by the dark. His need for more power and control led him down a path that he cannot come back from. His mind is gone.
He has been gone for a long time I do not know where he went or why he disappeared but it seems the emergence of the light, the influence. He has awoke to take this power so he may finally take the power from mother gaya. He has amassed an army of truly crooked and broken beings. They follow him so they may rise and take the earth from the humans. I would say they are demons from hell itself distorted humn souls that after hundreds of years of torture and anguish they are angry and want to take back the beauty that this earth has and will stop at nothing to take what what they feel was taken from them.
