If this statue right in front of me was the one the villagers made in tanks of Bu, then could I have gone back in time one hundred years ago? But this doesn’t seem right, and how could the world still look mostly the same one hundred years ago? The park I went to was two hundred years old so I wouldn’t be so surprised, and my school was one hundred and one, so it would make sense that it was still there, but the house I was in the village, how was that there? Also, if I did go back in time, can I possibly change history? Maybe this is what that Lyrebird meant, that I could change the world, this doesn’t make any sense.
“Hey Isabelle, I’m going to the mountains so I’ll be back in a bit.”
“Why the mountains?” I didn’t answer because I was busy running but there was still something to test, my body feels more buff than before, so even things that my other consciousness gets, I get when I tap into the other world, or hundred years ago. I arrived at the mountain and I tried moving the mountain like I did hundred years ago, and the first inch I moved was nothing. I tried the lava again, and that was also fairly easy, but one thing I didn’t understand was why Bu told me to get fire, at the time I was busy thinking about if I should go back or not but now I have more time to think. Why fire? He did say something about me already having lava, which was an extension of earth, like metal was, so I guess that means I can have multiple or just two ki uses, that was unlikely, and even just having two ki uses was a new thing to me. As far as I know, right now I’m the only person to have two ki uses in history, and the only reason the villagers didn’t seem surprised hundred years back was probably because they already knew I could do this since Bu was basically friends with the entire village. Bu also seemed affirmative that I could learn fire, which maybe I could but that might get rid of what I have right now, but Bu wasn’t the brightest either so I couldn’t trust it if he said that I could have every ki use in the world, but as of right now, I think I have to tell Isabelle about my situation and what I can do when I can snap. I slowly walked away from the mountain thinking about what this snapping thing is. I got back to the village gates when I traced it all back down to the grandpa I helped on the streets, What kind of guy is he? How did that grandpa know that he could give me this ability? Did he test it out once before? My thoughts were quickly interrupted by a sweet,
“Where were you? I looked all over the village!”
“I did say I was going to the mountains…” She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out, she said something but the most I could hear was,
“I care…” Then her face turned red and she excused herself back to the place she was staying in. Now, where was I? Right, about the grandpa, if he did try this before, then there's one more person who can have two ki uses and can change history, but now back to fire, maybe I should go back now, after all, the world was apparently smaller years ago. Speaking of which, how was it smaller? Was it even smaller? No more questions, for now, I snapped, nausea hit me and I was in some fire village next to a volcano. Oh yeah, Bu never really gave me any instructions like the bird did, but I saw something out of the corner of my eye, It’s the bird! I ran towards it and it spoke in its deep voice,
“So it seems you found me again! However, I didn’t say anything, how did you know I was here? Anyways you must have some questions, I’ll answer a few of them so your journey isn’t in vain.”
“What is this world? Is it a different world or is this just one hundred years ago?”
“It is both, it does not make sense because it is too complicated for your little mortal mind to comprehend.”
“Well then, explain.”
“This is one hundred years ago but it is also a different world, as you might have noticed, this world is smaller, that is because you have gone back in time but because time manipulation is hard to use, it shrunk the world.”
“Ok, then how come I can have two ki uses? Can I have more than two? What’s my limit?”
“You can have more than one ki use because we simply made you so, yes you can have more than two, and your limit does not exist. We make everyone with a purpose, and because your destiny is special, as long as you can learn the ki use properly, you can keep it.”
“Ok, and who is “We” you keep talking about?”
“I cannot answer this.”
“If my purpose is special, then what is my purpose?”
“You will find out with wisdom and help from others, but a mortal's purpose is not something to be told, I shall leave now.” With that, he flew away. This made me have more questions but one thing was for sure, if I had no limits to what I can do, then I should learn what’s right in front of me. Finding a good fire master was hard, but I found a blacksmith, who was old and wrinkly and always wore a cloak, sure it was a fire hazard but I guess that's his thing, but when I saw him make his weapons, his fire was precise.
“Sir, this is well out of the blue but could you help me learn fire ki use?”
“Hmm, why would I do that when you’re perfectly capable of doing this on your own? Welcome to our village, we don’t help around here.” This was a waste of time but I couldn’t get the whole idea of me being able to do it on my own of my mind. I guess the idea of this was to see if I was worthy of teaching and since it’s similar to lava, I might be able to prove that I wasn’t just another boy among the other boys he’d seen. I heated my arms and moved the heat to my hand, unlike making lava, I put no pressure on. With this, I lighted my hands and this caused a small fire to come out of my hand, I was happy with it but I guess this wasn’t strong enough for him because nothing’s good for him, this quickly turned into rage and I turned my fire green, skipping yellow, I was shocked but you should’ve seen the old blacksmiths face.
