Out of the presented 'foods,' you figured staring with the little THINGS on the right would be a good idea.
It turns out that was a silly idea, since this food taste terrible! But when Ser Spicious gives you a worried look, you try to put on a strong face. "... Good food. Primordia joys it a lot!"
At this, Ser Spicious let's out a curious sound, full of mirth and energy. A 'laughing'. "I am sorry, Primordia. I do not mean to insult. Here, let me give you a lesson on nutrition."
As he explains the importance of 'grains' and 'proteins' and such, your mind hangs up on his previous sentiment. He was sorry for a laughter... An odd situation. Laughter is good, but sorry was for bad. You decide to put the issue to rest as Ser Spicious explains more about health foods. Something more pressing moves to the forefront of your mind. As Ser Spicious explains these new THINGS to you, in his home, in a community full of people, in a world of all THINGS, you feel...
Happy.
You've mastered the primary emotions!
Z...Z...Z..."Primordia..."
Her voice is the most melodious sound you've come across in your short existence, and still it strikes you with supreme awe. The words are strange to you, but you feel them land on your mind softly as a feather. She continues...
"All worlds have systems of elements unique to them. Yours is anomalous in that this 'Prophet' has accelerated the formation of 'Order' to a degree that he risks stagnating any further growth. Naturally, the opposing force of 'Darkness' has fought to the opposite ends: to destroy light. But if events are left without intervention, they will destroy themselves as well. The world will be in a purgatory of stagnation, or an abyss of nothing.
"But here are the underlying elements: Pathos, Logos, and Ethos. These three elements underlie all things in your world. You may know them as HEART, MIND, and SOUL, respectively. The 'Prophet' has seized or incarnates the essence of Pathos, of Heart, and faith. He sides with 'Light,' which spawns 'Order.' 'Darkness,' which spawns 'Chaos,' will inevitably fail against the supremacy of HEART.
"There is another being, the one of Logos and MIND, who is so inebriated with power that it eludes even our sight. We are unsure what side it is on, and while it may counterbalance the power of Pathos, it is unlikely.
"And we have the unclaimed power of Ethos, of SOUL and character. I will bestow this power upon you, Primordia, for you are the lone untouched creature that may guide the world on a safer path."
After the ethereal explanation, the angelic creature simply lays a hand upon you, and you feel an epic surge of inner strength course through you. For a moment, you feel things how they once were... the time before time... but the power diminishes quickly.
