23 Preparing to Form a Core (2/2)
Ania noticed the boy but only smiled when she realized that he was just like Dioro, obsessed with cultivation. Both of them cultivated into the night and soon Oli felt asleep. With a smile on her face, she got up and walked over to her son. He was too big now to easily carry without waking him, so instead, she laid down next to him to enjoy a good night's sleep.

Morning came and went as most of the gorillas returned to their cultivation. Some left to gather fruits or berries for the entire clan and save those cultivating some more time.
Oli woke up extra early and waited for the sunrise so that he could make his way to Trada's cave. He arrived right on time and was again told to enter before getting a chance to ask himself.
Trada was still in her bed with her wings wrapped around the egg.
What shocked Oli was the formation that was laid out across the floor. It was huge, covering almost one-fourth of the cave floor. It was already covered by purple and black flames that lit up the entire cave.
The pattern looked like a stack of three shapes, with a star as a base, a triangle that pointed down between the bottom two ends of the star, and a small circle in the middle of it all. Oli showed his excitement as he ran to the center of the inner circle and began the energy circulation exercise.
Trada was at a loss for words because Oli had already started to do everything he needed without further guidance. For the time being Trada didn't need to do anything, so she rested and waited for Oli to ask a question in case he needed help understanding something.
Oli understood how the exercise worked thanks to his experience with soul exercises, so it didn't take long for Oli to begin feeling the essence of the world around him. He could particularly feel the untapped energy within the earth and how the energy was unmovable while resting yet unstoppable when in motion. That's what Oli focused on, feeling the earth and increasing his sensitivity to its limits.

He also felt something strange and almost inexplicable from the world around him. This type of energy was scarce yet no amount of earth essence or any other essence type was able to block it out. It gave off the feeling of superiority as if that kind of energy was above the rest and unable to be stopped.
Oli peeked at the sleeping Trada and decided to ask her later. He then began to try and circulate the earth essence around him, as well as the mystery essence since Oli felt it would be a waste to not cultivate another essence type if given the chance.
The day passed by slowly and Oli's control over essence progressed a lot thanks to the formation. As night approached, Oli let out a deep breath and bowed to the still sleeping Trada before he went back to his mom for a quick meal of some fruit and some much-needed sleep.
