So to push through my disturbing phone please support.}
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Golden rays filtered through the canopy, dappling the ground with warmth. Prime sat cross-legged in the crater at the mountain's edge, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth. He closed his eyes, breathing deeply, feeling the pulse of the world around him.
The Solar Eclipse sword beside him, its surface shimmering as if it held a heartbeat of its own. Prime who held the sword was running the Power of the Sun Fruit he just ate not long ago, and now he sought to understand its depths.
Each breath in brought a rush of warmth, and with each breath out, he focused on the flow of energy within him but didn't realize that it was getting late.
Diana who has been training with her reaper close by broke the calm.
"Hey, Prime! You still meditating? The sun's down it will be getting dark and cold soon"
With a slow exhale, he cracked an eye open, catching her silhouette against the fiery horizon. She who seems to be sweating from are training and practice with her reaper.
"Just trying to tap into more knowledge of my power," he called back, a smile tugging at his lips. "I didn't know it was even getting so late, It feels like the sun is alive inside me. I can almost feel its light, I feel so warm I didn't realize it getting colder I can't feel any cold right now"
Diana paused, leaning on her weapon. "You're going to be unstoppable. Just ate the fruit some hours ago and you are already immune to cold! Just imagine it you will be called Prime, the master of the Sun!"
He chuckled, shaking his head. "I still have a lot to learn. It's not just about power; it's control. I need to be ready."
She swung her reaper, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp whoosh. "You're already so stronge and you are still getting stronger no need to be all worked up! We'll sail and dominate the seas together, right?"
"Right," he said, feeling warmth spread through him—not just from his powers but from her unwavering belief. "But I need to master this before we set sail."
"Just don't get lost in thought and forget time. Come on, let's go back to the village!"
With that, she started walked straight to the village. Prime watched her, and started following behind.
As they where going down the mountain they came across 2 bears fighting. Diana and Prime stopped not wanting to draw the bear attention the stood a little distance away.
"Do we have to fight both of them because we can't wait for them to stop fighting it's getting dark" Diana said to Prime, who now walked a little forward,
"Yeah you are right, don't worry let me take care of it!" Prime replied then started closing his eyes again, allowing the sounds of the bears fighting to fade. Focusing inward, he summoned the warmth of the sun. Energy surged through him from his core to his palm, golden light flickering at his fingertips.
'Well let's see if I can do this technic' "Whoa!" he exclaimed, eyes snapping open.
A beam of sunlight erupted, shooting into the sky. "Did you see that?"
Diana who was going for the reaper on her waist stopped mid-way, eyes wide. "You just… blasted a beam of light! That's incredible!"
"Yeah, but I lost control for a second." Prime frowned, the thrill of power quickly shadowed by caution. "If I can't harness this, it could be dangerous."
"Then you will have to practicing more! You've got this!" Diana encouraged Prime
He nodded, emboldened by her encouragement. "Alright. Let's see if I can focus it better."
Prime closed his eyes again, centering himself. He visualized the sun, its warmth, its brilliance. The light within him pulsed in response, and he reached out, shaping it with his will.
"Come on, come on…" he murmured, feeling the energy coil like a spring.
With a deep breath, he thrust his hands forward. This time, a controlled beam shot out—not wild and erratic but focused and steady straight through the bears.
"YES! I worked perfectly" he shouted, adrenaline flooding his veins.
Diana jumped, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "That was amazing! You're getting better so fast!"
"Thanks!" He grinned, the thrill still coursing through him. "But I need to keep pushing."
"That was some quick improvement you really are a genius!" Diana said walking up to Prime who is now close to the dead body of the bears.
"So how are we going to carry both bears back to the village?" Prime asked after a little chuckle."it seems I will have to throw both on my back."
"I can help you with carrying one of the bears" Diana said while walking over to Prime.
He bent down to carry the 2 stacked bears, but he heard a whimper. !! Standing back up he looked around, while Diana who wasn't paying attention was puzzled.
"What's up why are you looking around?" Diana asked while also looking around. "I heard something... Like a little whisper of maybe a animal, a little one." Prime replied Diana.
"Really!" She asked."But what type of animal?."
"I don't know?" He said shrugging, then it crossed his mind. "Wait, I think it's a little bear" he said rubbing his imaginary beard like he solved a big mystery. "Look around for any cave or hole a little bear can hide himself."
Immediately he and Diana started looking around, Prime who heard the whimper look towards the side it came from.
Looking around for like 30 seconds Prime finally located the little bear. "Found it, come over here Diane" he shouted over to Diana
She came over looking at the little cave and see a defenseless little bear, with tears in his eyes seems to be looking for his mother.
"What a cute little bear where is his mother?" Diana asked looking around. "Well Diane I think we killed his mother over there" Prime said pointing to the place where he killed those 2 bears.
"What really so one of them is his mother." Diana said shocked since she didn't think a female would be fighting so furiously she thought both bears where males. "And also those bears where killed by you what do you mean by we?"
"Well we are in this together, aren't we?" He said rubbing his hair while looking at Diana.
"Now instead of pointing fingers on who killed who, let's carry this little bear and get going it's getting dark okay"
"You want to take the bear? How are you going to take care of it?" Diana asked clearly irritated by Prime antics.
"Don't give me that look of course I can take care of him or do you want him to die in this jungle after all it's a defenseless little bear and could get preyed on by any one so carry him let's get going, I have to go carry those 2 bears big dead bodies." He replied while walking back to were the dead bears are, while Diana had no choice but to follow him with the little bear at hand.
The little bear seems to want to protect but was just too weak and small, Diana was holding him properly.
While Prime arrived at the site were the bears died, he bent and raised both bears up to his shoulder "Damn this bears are heavy"
"Well you will have to deal with that since you were the one who killed them because you could have just chased them away" Diana said just walking pass him going down the mountain.
"Hey wait! Diane you can't just leave me like this, don't be so angry It was just over excitement in testing my new Powers ok!?" He said to Diana who just keeps walking away and only murmured "then just keeps that excitement in carry those bear with no help or support "
"Diana! Wait!!" In a hurry so she wouldn't leave him stranded here he started jogging because he couldn't run with 2 bears on his shoulder....
In the forest of the mountain A girl and a little bear cold be seen walking through it, while a boy carrying 2 dead bears was following right behind.
Diana who was walking at a fast pace while holding the little bear increased her speed even more after see the end of the forest, but unknown to her a massive snake was lurking in the shadow of the tree at the entrance for any unsuspecting prey.
Just as she reached the entrance the snake strikes going straight for Diana's head, Prime at the back saw the snake's head coming and reacted.
"Diane look out" He immediately raised his arm sending a Sun Beem straight at the snakes head and the dead bear on his shoulder rolled down to his arm making him stop the Beem and getting buried by the bodys of the bears.
Prime Immediately started trying to get back up thinking the power on the attack was not enough, he manages to raise his head and draged out his arm facing the direction of the snake only to see it laying at the head of Diana headlessly and Diana just stood in shock then as soon as she got back to her sense took of running out of the forest.
"?!?!" Prime was just laying on the floor with bears on top of him dumbfounded "I'm sure I just saved her life right?!" Prime asked himself, the he got up carried the dead bears and took off running after her as quick as he can while dragging the bears also.
Making it out of the forest and seeing Diana in front of him Prime dropped to his knees, panting. "That was exhausting."
"I almost died in there" Diana said still in disbelief.
"Yeah, but I saved you" he admitted, feeling the weight of what good have just happened "If I can do this on the seas, have each other's backs then we'll make it far"
Snapping out of the shock,"Let's keep training!" she said, determination and unwillingness in her eyes "We can't let anything stop us! I want to get stronger too to cover your back like you covered mine."
"Together then," he promised, with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah" she replied with a little smile
They continued their walk to The village as sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple.
As night fell and they just finished selling the dead bears, Diana glanced at the sky, then the little bear who's eyes twinkling like diamonds. "We should probably head home, huh?"
"Yeah, we've pushed hard today."
"Let's get some food! I'm starving!"
"Same."
They walked side by side, going to a shop to eat while eating they talked and narrating what they feel like the future future holds and different jokes and myth, laughter ringing in the night.
"Do you think the seas will be as crazy as they say?" Diana asked, her voice softer now.
Prime nodded, his mind racing with possibilities. "Yeah I think so. But we'll face whatever comes our way."
"I can't wait!"
As they finished eating and walking out of the restaurant, the familiar scents of home enveloped them. Prime's heart swelled with gratitude. This place had been his sanctuary, his foundation. But soon, he would leave it behind.
"Hey, Prime?"
"Yeah?"
"Promise me we'll always watch each other's backs out there."
"Always," he vowed, his gaze steady.
"You've got my word."
They parted ways at their homes with Diana taking the little bear because she can take care of him better than Prime could, anticipation thrumming in the air.

[ 1 year later]
After long and hard training this fine morning, the sun rose with a brilliant glow, illuminating the village in golden light. Prime could be seen packed his belongings with care, each item a reminder of his stay on this island he now call home. He glanced at the ECLIPSE SWORD, a lingering warmth still radiating from it.
"Today's the day," he murmured to himself, excitement bubbling within him.
As he stepped outside, he could feel the energy of the village, the promise of adventure beckoning him.
Diana appeared, her arms laden with supplies. "Got everything?"
"Almost," he replied, tossing a few final items into his bag. "Ready to sail?"
"More than ready!" She flashed a grin, determination sparking in her eyes. "Let's make it an adventure to remember!"
"Alright then let me call Grizzly Jace over here." "JACE!!!" "COME OVER HERE WE ARE GOING TO SHIP NOW"
"GRRRO!" Walking out from the back with a little Bambu on his mouth wearing a Blue pants and Red t-shirt like a boss.
"So what have you been doing at the back?" Prime asked.
"GRRRO RO RO GRO" Jace the 1 year old bear replied.
"Oh really you were saying goodbye to you animal friends over there"
"GRRRO RO"
"Alright hope it's alright with you setting sail we us?"
"GRROOOO"
"Okay then let's get going"
So Prime, Diana and Jace started making there way to shore. On their way they met a lot of people waving them goodbye even their Sensei came.
Koushirou approached them, his expression serious yet warm. "Prime, Diana, little Jace."
"Hey, Koushirou- sensei!" Prime called, wiping his brow.
"Greetings Sensei" Diana greeted.
"GROO" Jace said.
"I wanted to speak with you before you leave."
"Sure, what's up?"
He stepped closer, concern etching his features. "Take care of each other out there. The seas can be dangerous."
Diana nodded, her expression earnest. "We will. We're ready for it."
Koushirou's gaze softened as he looked at Diana. "I trust you both. But remember, you are not just fighting for yourselves; you're fighting for each other."
"Always," Prime affirmed, feeling the weight of those words.
Koushirou handed Diana a round shield, polished and sturdy. "This will protect you. It's durable, and I've infused it with some of my family's special metal."
"Thank you Sensei!" she exclaimed, holding it close.
"Stay sharp, and come back stronger."
With a nod, Koushirou stepped back, a proud smile gracing his lips.
As they made their way to their little ship, the anticipation hung thick in the air. The sea shimmered invitingly, the horizon stretching endlessly before them.
"Ready?" Prime asked, heart racing.
"Let's do this!"
"GRROOOO"
They climbed aboard, the vessel rocking gently with the waves.
Prime took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the world shift beneath him. This was it—the beginning of their journey.
"Here we go!" he shouted, pushing the sails to catch the wind.
The ship surged forward, slicing through the water, and as they sailed away from Shimotsuki Village, the thrill of adventure filled the air.
"Look out, world!" Prime laughed, arms wide as the wind tousled his hair. "Here we come!"
Diana laughed alongside him, her voice bright and full of hope. "Together!"
"GRROO!" Jace said with spackling eyes.
And with that, they embarked on a journey that would take them into the depths of the unknown, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The sun hung high, a promise of brighter days, and together, they would chase their dreams across the vast seas.
