Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis blinked a couple of times in surprise. "So, my original body is already gone?"

His father nodded.

"Huh," Gravis said, "this feels kind of weird. I don't really feel any different."

"Yes, because your body isn't you," his father said. "Same thing with a beast body. Didn't you say once that you are you, and that won't change, no matter how much you change?"

Gravis was a bit surprised about that. "I said that?" he asked.

"Yes, after you talked to some boy about the death of the other green bird," his father said.

Gravis scratched his chin in thought. That phrase actually sounded way too philosophical for his personality. Usually, he wasn't a fan of philosophical stuff since it didn't change reality. Apparently, his mind had been in a weird place at the time if he said something like that.

"I think you're right. It's weird having my own words thrown at me," Gravis said with a little bit of embarrassment.

"I thought it was a good phrase," his father said.

"Might be," Gravis answered. "By the way, what body will I enter?" Gravis asked.

"It depends on someone's path of cultivation," his father said. "You, obviously, have an affinity towards lightning, so you will enter a body that also has an affinity towards lightning. Lightning is a peculiar affinity in regards to beasts. It's rarer than the other elements."

"Additionally, most beasts with lightning affinity only get that later in their lives. Though, which body you enter depends on luck," his father said, "so, be prepared for a bad one."

Gravis sighed. "Luck again, huh?" he commented. "Then, wouldn't that be putting everything on one card? The body could be useless or unsuited for fighting."
