This emotion sharing thing with the kid is bothersome.
Why should I suffer for his weak body?
But well, I guess being able to feel his pain was the only thing that stopped me from crippling the boy, which indeed equated to crippling myself.
He was howling incessantly for several minutes now, I was kind of angry but let it slide, I knew my strength was too overwhelming for him. Luckily, it was just a fracture in his arm but ohh man, this brat isn't shutting down! What pissed me more was that he was laughing frantically in between his wails, can't blame him though, it was his first time witnessing a god's power, but if he could laugh then why not stop ripping my ears apart first?
"You are a god all right." He said out loud, more to himself than to me. Can't say I didn't like the genuine compliment though.
Even I was surprised, to see that although I was weakened, I was still leaps and bounds above these humans. That saves me the trouble of being worried about this boy's safety all the time
But there are peop-beings here I saw when I first arrived, they are still stronger, far stronger even if I weren't restraining myself, but it seems this boy hasn't even heard of them so they are most probably detached, not bothering about these bug's affairs either. They were true monsters.
That leaves me to the matter at hand.
[Boy, you are too weak as of now. You'll have to strengthen your body or else my powers are all for naught. No point using a strength that will end up destroying you and in turn me.]
[Yeah, I know but what exactly am I supposed to do to make it easy for a "god" to use all his strength?] His tone reeked of sarcasm, especially when he emphasized on the god part.
[Yeah, yeah. I know I have to tell your shell of a brain every single thing. You'll have to do body conditioning every day both physical and mental. You should start by five hours physical training followed by two hours of meditation everyday.]
[What? My brain may be a shell, but don't you realize with that mighty one of yours that human body has limits!?]
[I fully do and that is why I am asking you to start with mere five-two regime. Let me tell you kid, you are going to wish you hadn't met me and resent yourself for craving power but in the end, you will have strength far more than you had hoped to achieve.]
I had to say, this kid was resilient for his age, other than the fact that his body couldn't bear my presence, it was his mind that was hindering me from taking over his body. I know he'll pull through.
It was only after our little princess calmed down that we were able to take a closer look at the phoenix that was twittering near the boy's face.
I didn't know how it came here and whether it was alone or was there a whole den somewhere. They are strong beings, and their intelligence must be on par with this brat if not more but they were only found in the holy forest, in heavens, to the best of my knowledge.
Knowing how it came here can help me find my way back up but the thing is that it is most probably abandoned. Tracking a phoenix was difficult even for angels with their heightened senses. There was no way it's parents just let me find this little one out when they weren't showing up themselves.
Incidentally, the best part of it all wasn't that I was stronger than I had expected, or that we found a phoenix, it was the state of the boy after he had seen me and damn, I couldn't remember the last time I laughed so profoundly as I did seeing him questioning his very existence.
