A Hero Tale {Complete}

"You don't get it, do you," Nexus grunted, standing up and towering over Jenso, "Your friends are dead. Your world has overtaken by darkness. You are dead, and you are never going back. I'm here trying to help you deal with that, to achieve a power that will allow you to deal with that. It is for you, not for anyone else."

"Stressed," Nexus blurted, "It's almost like you've made no progress whatsoever. I'm starting to think I may not be able to teach you anything."

"You're still caught up on that. Jenso, you're dead. There are no fights to be had here in the afterlife, as it were," Nexus insisted, lowering his shoulders. "What are you training your abilities for?"

Nexus opened one of his eyes to glare at Jenso, but sighed and shook his head. "Having fun there?" He asked quietly.

~ Chapter IV ~

_{Months Later}

Months passed in Nexus' dream dimension, but nothing about the atmosphere changed. Jenso never got hungry, or thirsty, and the air was pure. Truly, it paralleled heaven. Jenso had made progress, or at least, Nexus had hoped so. He didn't spend much time talking to Jenso, save for a bit of advice here and there. The blue oaf spent most of his time meditating on his favorite patch of hills.

Nexus shrugged and walked off into the transparent fields, making his way towards the hilly landscape where he initially sat. "I'm going to meditate. Let me know if you need anything."

Nexus sighed and shrugged. "Hopefully you'll have an eternity to learn. I'm sure it will be an entertaining ride for the oncoming months. I would advise you teach yourself in stride. Rushing will net you nothing, remember that."

"Strength isn't everything. Even if you could get as strong as Rajaka, for example, you wouldn't be able to do much against somebody who has an absolutely infinite energy supply, the ability to regenerate in seconds, and immeasurable strength. You'll never be stronger than Rajaka, ever. That much is a fact. But that does not mean you cannot achieve peace. You're thinking too much about strength, and not enough about your mind, the way you think, and how you perceive things. you are still a child!"

"Wrong!" Nexus shouted, "No! You're already strong! You already have strength! You keep trying to push yourself in a direction that ends with your demise, every time! You're just pushing! Pushing! Pushing!! That isn't peaceful, that's suicidal!" Nexus ranted, waving his arms about.

"Hah, that's exactly what I'm trying to erase! You're so unsure of yourself- You don't even know how much potential you have, and won't acknowledge it, even when it's laid plainly before you. Now you're just being stupid!" Nexus mocked, stepping over and tapping Jenso in the side of the head with his open palm.

"When he was a boy, far weaker than more, Yzeira thought himself the most important, most powerful, and most intelligent being in the universe. Fast forward ten thousand years, and he still believes that. I'm hard pressed to disagree with him now, because he holds a power that cannot be matched, and has retained enough knowledge to shame any scholar in the multiverse. He knows true peace, as have I. Everyone in the Order can harness the peacful energy I'm speaking of, easily, because they believe themselves superior to all else. They however, have the flaw of lacking humility and grace. Even Yzeira. Balance is key, but we'll get to that later.."
