《The Aria Chronicles》Mystical

“It is harder than I had thought,” I muttered. Weaving four soul strings together is quite harder. I had to weave them in a consistent symmetry without making any mistake.
I first thought it would be quite easy since I had just had to bread them, but no, it is not easy at least when you are trying it the first time and stressing about the limited time you have.
After failing repeatedly, I started to take deep breaths and empties my mind of all the distracting thoughts. Just as I did that, I again took the four soul strings from the spindle and started to weave them together genty.
This time there was no hurry in my movements; everything is easy and relaxed as the weaving continues. With a calm mind, I started to take one right step after another, not making every even a single mistake.
“Yes!”
I shouted when I perfectly weaved four strings together, making them strong. Earlier I had wasted nearly half an hour but was not able to weave the string, but with a calm mind, I was able to do it in just five minutes.
Which is quite surprising as I thought it would take at least fifteen minutes to weave one string but looks like I was wrong and I am quite happy about as with such speed, I became very sure that that all the soul strings to two spindles would be weaveed completely
I again calmed my excited heart and took a couple of deep breaths before I started weaving the strings again, and I weaved this one without making any mistake.
Time passed by, and I continue to weave one string after another. As I created more strings, my speed of weaving them kept increasing till, and I was able to bread all the forty-eight soul strings into twelve strong strings within forty-five minutes.

My conscious space now had only twelve strings, but these twelve strings are at least six-time stronger than the previous string.
“It had reached its limit,” I said when I looked at strings, my soul energy was quite pure, and creating such powerful soul strings had put quite a pressure on the spindle.
This low-level Soul method could only be used by me in the Baron Level when I became Viscount, and my soul ability would receive an upgrade. The spindle would completely collapse under the pressure without me doing anything.
‘Now that I had crested the strings, it is time to test them.’ I said in my mind as I finally took out the shield-like Telekinesis Artifact from my storage. It has been a while since I had used my telekinesis Artifact.
Buzz!
It buzzed when I activated it, and next moment with my intention, Nine thin knives came out of it and energy released from in circular fashion with the physical shield as its center.
Soon I got a human-size shield that had covered my whole body, and unlike before this time, I did not feel even a tiny bit of strain when I was increasing its size, it all went very smoothly.
With the second level of the Tower, my soul energy reservoir got bigger and purer. Now I had no problem with using Grade 2 Soul Artifact.
I could even be able to activate the Grade 3 Soul Artifact without any problem, but I will not be able to use them for a long time as they require an immense amount of soul energy.
I looked at the shield for a while before I turned to small thin knives that were floating in front of me. With the intention, I had activated both of the runic enchantments on knives that made them more threatening instantly.

After activating the enchantment, I started to perform many practicing maneuvers that Isabell had taught me. I first tried the simple ones before I started to move toward the complicated ones and found that I was able to do all of them quite perfectly.
Which is quite surprising as I was not able to perform the difficult ones. It looks like various things I've done these past few days have improved my control unconsciously, and of course, there are strong strings that help me have perfect control over my artifact.
I was just trying different maneuvers to get used to the new soul strings when suddenly the scene of Celestials bodies orbiting that humongous moon came to my mind, and I unconsciously started to move my knives as those Celestial Bodies moved around the Moon.
Gasp!
It was unconscious action at first, the scene was too overwhelming even so much time, it had affected me, but some time later, when I came to myself and saw what was happening around me, I got entranced and continued.
The knives are revolving around me; each knife has its rhythm and direction, the only thing common about them are them being revolving around me, these tiny knives looking fishes are swimming around me in a slow and enchanting manner.
When I first looked at them, I also thought the speed of the knives was slow, but when I looked at them carefully, I found these knives' speed is extremely fast, and if they are not performing these particular movements, they would be blurring to the eyes.
But strangely, despite their slow very fast movement, they seemed very slow, slow to the degree that each detail of them could be seen with the eyes.
There is some mystical quality involved in their movements, and making their swift movements seemed very slow, and I was to comprehend that mystical quality.
I am very sure that if I can comprehend this mystical quality, then my combat strength would sour even more. It would be able to change my combat style forever.
It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I had accidentally opened the window of that Mystic, and now I have to gain this Mystical Quality.
When I saw that celestial scene, I thought it would be great for my combat power if I can gain something from it, but I had never expected it to turn out so useful that it would be able to give me an absolute edge in combat.
I continue to observe that Mystical quality, and while doing that, I also started to remember Celestial Bodies Orbit to comprehend it better. As such, time passed, and finally, after some time, I understood something, and it is not fleeting, understanding up real understanding.
As I understood this amazing Mystical Quality, the movement of the knife in front of me became even clearer, but their speed even faster. I now feel like that Humongous moon in the protection of the Celestials Bodies, anything that came in between them would be destroyed.
I am pretty sure that now if any average Viscount entered the three-meter range of mind, that viscount would get saddled with numerous holes before he had a chance even to launch an attack.
Creak…
I was relishing in the joy of comprehending such Mystical things when I heard the familiar creaking sound of the cave door, and my expression became serious.
It is time.

The Cyclical Nature of Time
A girl’s life ends unexpectedly early, or so it would seem. Instead of eternal nothingness, she wakes up in an empty valley with no clue how she got there. Taking her predicament in stride, she sets out to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, the first couple of people she meets aren’t much help. They claim they haven’t heard of electricity and dress as if they were on a break from their job at a Viking-themed amusement park. MC is a somewhat normal girl. She's pragmatic and not very angsty. The story is tagged with anti-hero, but to be clear, she is not a villain. She does good if she can, she just isn't morally motivated to do so. The story starts out smelling of fantasy but will eventually shift towards sci-fi. It contains some supernatural elements and has a strong lead, but it is not your usual power trip. Expect a story that takes its time, but not to the point where entire chapters are spent on mindless chit-chat. I’m not into that. This is my first serious attempt at writing and I've learnt a lot writing this. Unfortunately, that shows. Chapter 1-10 is slow and rather pointless. Things get better, but it is not until chapter 25 or so that I began understanding how to structure chapters and to make them support the larger story. I publish about 3000 words a week (every sunday) but I write about 10000 words a week. Sticking to that pace, which is easy, the last chapter will be out by July.
