"Who was that?" Asked Ignis after the man disappeared, she didn't like to see Yunan twisting facts and sound like he was lying, so she directed her hatred on the man because she thought he was the root of the problem. Yunan thought for a moment before answering "probably someone who actually knows the old man, that or it was someone who wanted to get his hands on the divinity of the old man". The conclusion wasn't hard to reach especially from the annoyed look the man left with, either way Yunan knew it was safest to stay within the picket fence.
The three continued to play for a while but were still conscious about the possible danger that lurked around this place. After spending a few exhausting hours, three took a rest by the hammock, Yunan, sleepless as he was decided to practice a long forgotten book in his possession, Apotheosis, the contents of the book were not something Yunan could have practiced, ordinarily that is, however, now, at this moment, Yunan was in a world practically made from the power of emotions, so Yunan decided to try and refine that power but instead of condensing a new shard of divinity he could use it to strengthen himself and his pets or the other shards of divinity.
According to the book and its author Apophis, emotions were raw energy tainted by the nature of emotion, that power was something the creator god himself bestowed upon sentient beings, the power to shape destiny and fate. The raw unprocessed power of emotions was too overwhelming that is why it is hard to refine it from inside one' self, the only option was the ambient power spread out and diluted by applying good or evil intent on it.
Good emotions are easy to absorb, they require a firm heart and a mind with a conscious, as for evil emotions, they were the simplest and easiest to absorb, there was no requirement to absorb them, thus one who has a mild nature can absorb both, yet most just focus on one or the other, faith users focus on the positive emotion of belief and the evildoers focus on the various negative emotions, which leads to the next problem those who focus on faith lose the ability to use the negative emotions and those who focus on evil lose the ability to absorb positive emotions, and with absolute good and absolute evil comes a warped sense of justice that can not be left to roam the world freely.
To get past this problem one must absorb both sides of the figurative coin equally, if one could absorb them simultaneously, it would be preferred, thus, one can escape the influence of the absorbed emotions on themselves. Yunan followed the instructions in the book and slowly started to absorb bits of emotional energy from the surrounding area, it went on for so long since he started meditation and his pets had woke up from their naps but did not disturb him.
When Yunan opened his eyes after absorbing the first bits of energy he was told the two pets should return to their bodies, they were not originally from here and did not have a dream divinity, they could stay this long without harm because they were connected to Yunan's soul itself, that connection protected them for as long as they stayed but they did not want to push it to its limits, it was best to come back later than risk any danger now, Yunan sent away his pets and then started to read the second volume of the book.
It was about refining the gathered energy and using it to empower the body and the mind, creating the shard required great control that can only be acquired through endless practice, and Yunan was only thinking about using the energy to strengthen himself and had no intention to create a divinity, therefore, there were no downsides for him to take his time learning to purify the power of emotions. After reading intently for a few more hours he closed the book and started to refine the bit of emotional energy he had collected, he took his sweet time applying the purification steps to ensure that no mistake was possible.
"That is the wrong way to do it, too slow, too late and too small". Those words sounded as soon as Yunan finished the purification process, he had yet to absorb the purified energy when he heard those words. Strangely the same man with a snake for a crown had returned, this time there was no annoyance in his tone or his eyes.
"And you know that because..?" Asked Yunan, the man was right, Yunan was taking his sweet time, he was not doing anything wrong but the process itself should have been different, he should perform the gathering, the purification and absorption at the same time, Yunan did separated the steps to make sure he had a basic grasp on the methods before doing it the correct way.
"You are using my own technique, i thought that damnedest Yggdrasil destroyed all the records i left behind when she painted me as a demon, still, i would have to say for a beginner like you to go this far is quite the achievement" said the man before jumping above the picket fence and landing on the hammock in a trained fashion. When the man got close, Yunan could feel the divinity inside him, after some thought, he explained himself.
"This is my first time trying your technique, demon Apophis, i am trying to get a feel for each process and succeed in performing it without a hitch, then i would try to perform everything at once only when i know i can perform all three perfectly". Yunan closed his eyes and started to absorb the refined energy stored inside him. Apophis nodded his head and started swinging in his hammock, leaving Yunan alone, he did not want to disrupt the boy who was using his own self-made technique.
