Chapter 132. The Fifth.
Yo. A picturesque waterfall in the Earth Kingdom, located near a small unnamed village.
"This place will definitely suit us," I announced to the others, finding the atmosphere here perfect for opening the fifth chakra. According to Guru Patik, the environment around you is just as important. Of course, it's different for everyone, so it's worth figuring out what truly brings peace to your soul.
"I guess being born in the Northern Water Tribe wasn't for nothing..." The gentle sound of water cascading from a small height gave me more confidence for the upcoming confrontation.
"There's no convincing you, is there?" Driya asked humbly. She still hasn't given up trying to stop me. Logically, she understands it makes me stronger, but emotionally, she can't help worrying about me.
"I can't let my daughter outdo me! What kind of example would I be setting?" I tried to lighten the tense atmosphere. "Hey! I need your faith in me now more than ever!" I continued with feigned indignation. To myself, I once again thanked fate, the cosmos, or the gods who sent me to this world. Without it, would I have met my beloved women and built a real family?
"I believe in Father!" I never doubted Selin. Unable to resist, I pulled her into my arms. Because of her rapid growth, I never fully enjoyed her chubby cheeks, and now she's already a heart-stealing beauty. But in my heart, she'll always be my little girl.
"I also believe in... my love," Gaia said the last word with considerable embarrassment. At first, her main goal was simply to have a child with me, but now she's more than willing to join our family.
"Oh, come on," Driya muttered, catching apologetic glances from Selin and Gaia. As far as I could tell, they were supposed to support Driya, but things turned out a bit differently...
Spending more time with my loved ones, I filled myself with positive energy, preparing to overcome the new limit. Sitting on a large rock directly in front of the small waterfall, I began repeating Guru Patik's words in my mind.
"My spirit is strong... My will is unyielding!" At that moment, my voice took on a soul-vibrating tone. Thanks to the Guru, I finally understood the principle behind his mystical speeches, which helped Aang and Selin master all seven chakras in an instant. I don't know if it will help, but it's worth trying. Guru Patik isn't much help in this—he says he tried to assist someone else on the path of the body years ago. The outcome was tragic; his voice was considered external interference, doubling the challenge for the person.
My own voice probably won't count as interference. It's still worth trying, so I continued filling my throat and vocal cords with life energy. Maybe when the real process begins, I won't have time for self-hypnosis...
