There was a time when Akuaysun was a proud warrior, he could remember parts of it, back then, all those years ago. He had been a very successful man amongst the Myrian People, a skilled tracker and fighter, gifted as a tiger rider, and strong in every sense of the word. Many times his mother had said how she wished he would have been born a girl for he deserved all the praise of any woman. Taking deep breaths he focused on this time, remembering those days when he knew not of the things he knew now. Those were easier times, and though on the cusp of the great cataclysm he would trade all that he had to return to those simple days.
One skill that had brought him more honor then others was his deep knowledge of the self, and in turn his fortitude with Flux. It had originally been a skill developed by the great military force of the Suvan, something he had picked up from a retired soldier during his youth. The man, while old still moved and fought with the grace of any youth, and after seeing something in a young Akuaysun, agreed to teach the young man his secrets. The core of the personal magic was knowing your inner soul, channeling its energy into your movements and strikes to push them past their limits. It was through this thorough knowledge of self that one could manipulate their inner Djed and push their body beyond its normal boundaries after bypassing the normal physical inhibitors.
In those days Aku started and ended his day with meditation. He would reflect on all that had happened and all that needed to be done. The young Myrian would give his praise to Leth for all which he had been given and ask the moon god to bring him great strength. Then when his thoughts were clear and his mind was focused he would turn inward, seeking his inner peace and realigning his soul. While in this state he could sense the Djed that flowed through him, and made up his spirit. With practice he found he could manipulate and redirect it. It was through pure determination and self reliance that the man slowly formed an inner spiritual working of himself, and with it the focus to manipulate his inner powers.
Through his teachings from the old warrior, and his self practice Akuaysun eventually gained the understanding necessary to become a competent practitioner of Flux. He knew what levels his bodies Djed was supposed to be at, and how it reacted to different exercises. With time he found it easier to transfer this energy through this form while working by focusing upon it and rerouting it from areas he did not need. There was a time when he could lift incredible amounts of weight, move with the speed of the great jungle cats and deliver strikes with his bare flesh that would cause more damage then any weapon.
Indeed, it was Akuaysun’s hope to relive some of those memories and take from them the knowledge of his past lives. If he could focus, and once more find his inner peace then it was possible that once more he would be able to regain his former strength. For some reason in the coming days he felt he would need it.
