Potential

Developing Greater Star Power


 Mike had vanished from the tutor's and everyone's filed of view as he focused on a portal he had made inside of his house. Stepping from the grass to the wooden floor of his home he walked towards his lab. His thoughts on how he would achieve a feat as what he had been set forth to do.

Walking down the staircase he thought on the connection he had with the Druid Star of Autumn which he and all other druids shared. It being the Star of Compassion,Nature, and survival . These were common things any druid or beast-folk knew of

He went over reading of the energy he'd collected with his devices, while they were no where near as good as some of the things Doctor created, he was no slouch when it came to machines himself , again learning anything and everything he could to better his chances of survival and growth.

As that thought crossed his mind he paused and smiled. He began getting materials and a fashioning some small devices to collect energy from the druid star to amplify it's effects. He took this outside and began setting up the magical circle to enhance his meditation focus which was accomplished with bit of nature runes along with nature like scented candles he lit around the circle. On the outside ht stations the small receivers to collect and direct the start's energy into the center of the circle.

He could see the barely visible aura of the circle as it absorbed part of the star's energy. The nature runes amplifying it's serene like essence . He closed his eyes as he walked into the ring. His body reacting to the high amounts of energy. The feeling was a bit uncomfortable but not painful, thought it seemed his body wasn't made to handle this much of the star's energy. He however trudged forward and sat down in the center.

He had to force his breathing to steady. He began focusing on utilizing the stars power like normal, letting it guide him but this was different. It felt more like this energy was a dam that had broken, like he couldn't get it under his sway. His instincts telling him to fight it or run away. But he resisted and sat there, focusing on his breathing, trying to let his mind sink into a deep state of meditation.

Slowly his he lost feeling to his body. Being constantly bathed in the energy of the Star, he felt something calling towards him, pulling him towards something hidden. Trying his best to sync with it, he slowly found himself floating through a deep and old forest. For some reason he understood he was seeing something ancient and primal.

The vision had him watching over a Bear like beast-folk that was covered in deep grey fur. The man seeming to be surviving off the land , nature seemed to bend to his will, where he stepped, small flowers bloomed, the grass became greener. For some reason Mike understood this was the first Druid that had existed. The energy he produced seemed beyond what he'd had ever imagined someone could hold, the natural energy they produced seemed almost stronger then the few Sage-like animals he had met in his travel.

 He watched the life of the druid, and the ritual to the stars that he performed, the offerings of sweets and meats to the star by method of pyre offerings. The oddest part was the way the druid communed with the spirits, something he himself hadn't seemed to grasp. It felt odd seeing things about his kind that he had no knowledge of, he wondered if any of the elders even knew this.

As the Vision was fading he felt the energy he'd been immersed in. He felt his body had acclimated to the levels of, he couldn't really tell if he'd become any stronger but he felt more in tune with it. His breathing having become less of a labor and came naturally.  He found himself coming to.

He felt oddly right. Getting up he began picking up the materials and machines he'd put out. As the night came he had made a feast for himself, but put half of it onto a pyre. He lit it and began mimicing the dance he had seen the original Druid perform. Not really step for step as that wasn't what was important as much as just following what came naturally. Just listening to the song Nature produced and dancing to it instinctively.

By the end of the dance and feast he slept, and for the first time in what felt like ages he slept peacefully, as if a part of him that had been lost had been found in this small journey of self-discovery.
