Atlas remained motionless, staring at the faint particles that had begun to appear around him, visible even without his vision.
Curiosity overtook him as he sat up, observing the floating particles intently. His hand reached out, and as he touched them, the particles shifted, their flow disturbed by his movements.
Every time he waved his hand, they swirled and altered their paths, some drifting aimlessly in the air while others rose steadily upward.
Elemental particles!
Recognition dawned on him. These were the same particles that every Awakener would eventually sense during the early stages of gaining affinity with Mana. However, those particles were usually pale white, representing pure Mana.
What Atlas was seeing now was different. These were elemental particles, each one tied to a specific element in nature, their colors distinct and vibrant.
