Eternity Foxx: The Rise To Eternal Knowledge

If I leave the grapes in the bag, they can grow. I noticed something like that with the apple, and the box.

If I put the apple in the box when I read. It"s goes back to how it was before I ate it.

I didn"t need to eat much to to stay awake.

If I didn"t eat i would just get slow, and sleepy. No one really eats much here. I"m not sure if we need to. Sometimes i don"t eat for awhile, but I never fade away.

I think I"m going to head over to the gate soon. I want to meet with Mikhail, and negotiate.

I left my area, and started towards the gate. I should be there in no time. I have to think of a good way to call him out. Let"s see if I can reach the gate in one step today. At most I want to make it in three steps.

(Brief step forward in time, and s.p.a.ce. At this time, one step with his wings. Is the equivalent of two miles in distance.)

As it is now I can make it in three to four steps. I"m pushing it going for a one step travel, but... I can"t grow doing the same things. I have to try new things to grow.

With my first step, I held on to the air with my wings. Something I picked up from watching Mikhail. He always held them for a second when he took off. It created such a brush of air. That it moved everything around him.

From practice I learned that you have to grab the air itself. Curl your wings, and let the feathers feel the air. When you have the direct of flow coming from it. Curl your feathers around that flow. Then hold them against it.

That makes it build up under the wings themselves. When you add the force that you can create from this to the force of ones stepping power. You can cause a ma.s.sive pushing force that will send you in any direction with great speed.

Apply that to a sharp spread of the wings, and you can hold that speed. Letting your body feel the air flow, and lowering the shoulders. Allows you to increase that speed for a short while.

Mikhail has four sets of wings to use. I bet he is really fast when he wants to be. I bet I can get faster then he does. After he teaches me how to use them better that is.

I"m going to let more air build up this time. Allow it to flow until I can"t hold it anymore. If I keep letting go when i feel them shaking. I can"t grow anymore from that point. I have to go until it hurts me, and maybe even further.

The air began to build up under my wings. I lowered my body to create less s.p.a.ce between me, and the land. The air was starting so get a new flow now. The land started to move in the same flow as the air. This is it, I have to go further then this.

My wings started to shake, and my feet did too. My back was getting stiff from fighting the force. I have to apply pressure with my legs to stay in place. my clothing is even flowing with the air now.

I closed my eyes to bare the pain. When I did that The King"s voice spoke to me.

"Are you that weak? Is this really a limit for you?"

I had to laugh at that one. He has the ability to p.i.s.s me off, and help me at the same time.

"If all you"re here for is to test me. Then let me show you that I actually find your test fun."

I had to give Him some trouble to return the trouble He gave me. I don"t know why I do that with Him, but I think He likes it this way.

"This is not my limit, and I always go further then what I have before. I make my own limits!"

I have to fucos past this pain. I refuse to let Him test me without a fight. Then again, I don"t think He wants me to just take whatever He sends me. Fair trade is a law afterall...

All of a sudden it was as if I could feel the land also. Like it was trying to hold me back. No, I was holding me back by thinking I need the land! I have to rely on me, and not the land.

With that thought all the pain was gone. I could now feel the air was not just building up under my wings. It was building up around me now. The flow under me was in one direction. While the flow around me was in another. It"s like the flow under me is eating the flow around me.

Focus on the flow under me, and if I"m right. It will control the flow around me. I believe the curl in my wings can control the flow under me. So I adjusted it to an area that lined up with my back, and shoulders equally.

The flow under me became more stable, and the flow around me became calm. Just then the flow under me got faster, and pulled in way more air. This must be why Mikhail causes such a force. He really does grab the air itself.

Now! This is the point that I have to control!

"My limit you say? I"m sure you"re watching, and that you"re going to go away. Before you leave me, look at what i say to a limit!"

After nothing happened to me from that shout. Which was a surprise since He sometimes does things to show me I"m wrong in what I say to Him. I guess the old man really does like our negotiations.

I pushed off from my position. I was moving so fast I couldn"t keep up with myself. I had no idea how far I had moved just yet. Then it happened, and I found out just how far.

(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!)

I had moved so far that I ran right I to the gate itself. I hit the thing so hard it made the loudest sound. I noticed it was coming, but not in time to stop myself.

By the time I looked up, and could see clearly. There was at least eight Angels, and Mikhail himself standing there over me.

"So did you figure hitting the gate as hard as possible would force me out? Did it seem like a better idea then calling me afraid to get my attention?"

Mikhail said while laughing at me, but this time I didn"t mind it. I was laughing at myself.

"No, I was trying to get here in just one step. I wanted to test my limitations with speed."

"Your Father came to me, and tested my limit. I tested His test, and that guy doesn"t let anything go does He?" I said while laughing, and rubbing my head.

"He is pretty good at teaching you a lesson!" He shouted threw his laughter.

We both laughed for a bit before Mikhail helped me up.

"I bet your Father saw that coming, and that"s why He didn"t stop me."

I stood to my feet, and cleaned myself off. I don"t mind the land being on me, but it doesn"t look good. I dont know why, but I always want to be looked at in a good way with Mikhail.

He can be an annoying Angel, but I can"t help wanting to meet with him. Mikhail became my first friend in all of this. He actually accepted me, and wanted to spend time with me as much as I did with him.

"So it"s time for a hunt Mikhail!"

I"m about to set the negotiating terms, and even if he doesnt accept. I will have something he wants. That means he will come around sooner or later.

"First we have to settle our negotiations from last time. Are you ready to negotiate?"

He will take my offer I just know it!

"Yes I am my friend. What is it that you want to ask of me in return for your lessons?"

Oh yeah! Now it"s time I get something out of him, and show him that I have things he doesn"t. That should make him more interested, and keep him wanting to meet with me.

"I want you to teach me how to fight like you guys do! I want to learn how to get stronger on the battlefield."

He laughed at me pretty hard. I didn"t know why he was laughing, and that got to me.

"What f.u.c.k is so funny?!"

He shook his head at me.

"I accept your terms!"

He shouted happily, and reached out his hand. I reached out mine, and the negotiating was done.

"Now that that"s finished. I was waiting until the right time to get to spend time with you."

He was still laughing at me.

"I was going to teach you how to fight while teaching you how to fly. I can"t call myself a good teacher if I don"t teach you all that comes with flying!"

He said with such a smile on his face. It did p.i.s.s me off, but that"s just like my luck. Always quick to get to something, but never really taking the time to look at it. I should start doing that more. I might grow even faster then I do now if I study things more.

"a.s.shole, why didn"t you say that before?"

I noticed then that he was carrying a bag like mine now. Did he do that to be like me?

"I did not say anything because it was an act of charity. Charity is when you do something for someone without wanting any trade."

"The value in charity is it helps someone, whom may help someone at sometime. It is also valuable because it makes all parties feel good."

So charity is what you do when you want to help, but do not want a trade. What is traded is the feelings, and lessons in charity. That"s not that hard to get, and I think I already do that.

"Does charity have to do with righteousness?"

They kind of sound the same to me. If they are, then maybe that"s why my righteousness is growing fast. I"m doing things that are righteousness themselves.

"Charity is a righteous act indeed. It is however, it"s own condition of the "Angelic Creed.""

What is the "Angelic Creed?" s.h.i.t, what is a "Creed?"

"I don"t understand the "Angelic Creed" thing too well. Can you educate me on this?"

He nodded his head, and waved the other Angels away.

"I will educate you on it in due time, but for now we have a hunt to go on."

"We have things to teach each other on this hunt as well. Let us focus on that for now."

I agree, too much learning can hurt, and confuse someone. You need to take breaks so that you learn without harming yourself.

"Agreed! Let us get ready for the hunt."

We started to go on our hunt. I taught him how to hold back his light first. Then we went for our hunt. When it was over he taught me how to properly use my wings size. I wasn"t very good at it at first.

You have to use the same ability I used to take off. You have to do it over and over again. You need to control the force, and amount of air you use when you do. There are more things to it, but that"s good enough for now.

We continued to meet like this for awhile. I got much better at fighting like he does. He always wins in battle when we practice, but I get my hits. I am great at flying now, and I have even taught him some things about it.

My fighting is improving, but so is his. I"m learning all kind of new words, and things from him. We have grown very close in this short time. He taught me what a friend is. Not just with his words, but also his actions.
