He had to make himself into a meal.
Noah sighed lightly. He craned his neck to one side until it clicked, and then to the other, and rolled his shoulders once, and was ready to get started, because of course that was the method!
|Of course, something like that alone might be too hard to conceptualize. So.|
|Wrap your entire existence in whatever nature your Provenance holds. And while you do so, communicate with your surroundings how you WANT to be consumed. How you are giving yourself away for something grander and greater than yourself.|
|Provenance offered away is one of the easiest ways to get the attention of a Gu of a similar type in THE Chrysalis.|
|But even then, you could be doing that for years and never be picked up. The Chrysalis is not short on meals.|
|Which is where I come in. I have been there before. So I can form a tether from you to THE Chrysalis. You are the bait, and I am the fishing line, connecting you to the jaws of whatever Gu decides to consume you and pull you across.|
|Ready?|
|Imagine you are appetizing and grand. And then say the words...|
|I am filled with determination.|
Noah’s eyes pulsed as he got ready!
He drew his Provenance Essence up out of the depth of himself and let it out, and it came out as waves of blue-gold light that rolled off his skin and rose and wrapped him, layer over layer, until he stood inside a cloud of his own making with ninety suns burning above it!
He envisioned himself as the most appetizing meal in existence. He put his whole will into it, and he told the surroundings without words that here was a Provenance, self-generated, freely offered, given away for something grander!
THE Provenance of THE Human Dreamer pulsed!
Waves of endless dreams poured out of him and joined the cloud, dreams of everything he had ever been and everything he had decided to become, and they wound through the blue-gold light until the whole of it shimmered with the soft heavy quality of a thing that is more than half asleep and entirely awake at once!
And Noah said the words.
"I am filled with determination!"
HUUM!
Brilliance pulsed across the whole Realm!
And out of the ring came a sound Noah had heard once before and had hoped not to hear again.
|Haha! Did you really say the words ’I am filled with determination’?|
"..."
|You actually do not need to say that shit! Haha!|
"..."
Noah stood inside his cloud of offered Provenance and dreams, appetizing and grand, and said absolutely nothing at all.
|Alright, alright. I will get serious and tether you.|
The ring on his finger went hot!
|Be ready. Once you are eaten, you will appear in the belly of a Gu related to your Provenance.|
|I hope it is a common Gu that does not metabolize you instantly.|
...!
