Azure moves them deeper into the temple, near one of the statues.
"The fifth in the chain is the Sound Chakra, located in the throat. It deals with truth and is blocked by lies... the ones we tell ourselves."

"....What are you telling me here?....Must I clear myself of my lies in order to pass this barrier before me Azure?..."
*Nekage looked onwards away from Azure*
"Hmph..."
*Nekage closed his eyes tilting his head downwards. In his mind, Nekage was once more looking what lies were believed of him, and casting a small glance their way. It seemed like Nekage was passing these tests with ease. In honesty, because of how emotionless Nekage seemed and all, it made it all the more easy. He wasnt cheating or lying about passing the other tests of clearing, he was mearly just passing them with little to no resistance. Nekage remained silent as he stood before Azure before opening his eyes once more*
"....I only speak my truth to others....To others if they may seem like lies, well then I am sorry for them...."

"Yes, you must never lie about your own nature, you must accept who you truly are."
~Time passed.~
After opening the Sound Chakra, Azure had brought them out of the temple through the other entrance to sit on a ledge overlooking the clouds and some mountaintops below. The sun shown across from them as it was setting to the horizon.
"The sixth pool of energy is the Light Chakra, located in the center of the forehead. It deals with insight and is blocked by illusion. The greatest illusion of this world, is the illusion of separation. Things you think that are separate and different, are actually one and the same.
We are all one people, but we live as if divided.
Even the separation of the elements is an illusion. If you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one. Multiple parts of the same whole. Even metal is a part of earth that has been purified and refined."

"...Hmph....so all is one, huh?....
*Nekage glared at Azure for a moment before looking back at the small body of water before him*
"...If funny when you think about it in some senses....But I see what I must do in order to progress...."
*Nekage once again began to meditate to himself as he went to once more acknowledge the illusion of the world being one. It was no longer a world of diversity. When Nekage looked more into it, Azure was actually right. Not that it mattered to Nekage. The only point he saw in this entire exercise was to master his Angelic abilities, and to raise even higher in Gaioh then he already had*

~Time passed.~
After opening the Light Chakra they continued to the very top of the mountain, which wasn't far as the temple was on the top. The sun had set and the stars were the brightest they have ever been. The two sat on an almost smooth platform, the top of the building's roof. A stone stairwell wounded around it from the path on the mountain that they opened the Light Chakra. A small shrine dedicated to the deities above sat near one edge, the North Star shining above it.
"Once you open this last chakra, you will have complete control and awareness of your true angel form. And you will be able to move in and out of it at will. The Thought Chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy and is blocked by earthly attachments. Meditate on what attaches you to this world."

"...The only thing I care of right now is....my life on this earth....."
*Nekage glared at the last remaining obstacle in his way. However, there was one thing that made Nekage unsure about this whole affair before him. Azure claimed complete and total control of his angelic powers and all, but the thing was, Nekage's angelic form and powers were different from others and Azure's angel. While Azure's angel was one of peace and protection, Nekage's was one that pledged destruction, and self power. The question was, would breaking Nekage's current bond with his angelic form be worth it or not? Nekage as usual when he contemplated thing before him remained silent*
".........."
*Nekage reached forward and and closed his eyes as he made his final decision. If he was to gain power, then it meant he would have to make more sacrifices. It wasn't just this fact though, it was also the fact that he knew that Azure whom was on the light side of affairs wouldn't go and mislead his own shinobi. Still though...Nekage was unsure as to what would come forth from this. Would his power and skills rise once more to an all new lvl? Or would Nekage be completely lost to his dark angelic form? It was time that the dice was thrown to decide Nekage's fate as he stepped forwards, releasing his earthly attachment to the earth that stood below his feet.....*

In the mind, darkness takes hold.
A shadow engulfed the form of Nekage and carried it into the sky. He saw himself in a star-studded field, as if he was in space. There were no planets near him, no landmarks, he was all alone in the void of space.
A pathway formed in front of him. It illuminated as if a trail of a star, leading outward into the void towards a shimmering, prominent star.

*Nekage's face made him look as if he was in a daze. He lifted his head up slowly as he looked at the road that laid before him. Gently floating down, and regaining his physical functions again, Nekage began to trot down the open star lighted path that lay before him, not saying a word as the tired shinobi walked. It was odd....to actually see an expression on his face in this void of darkness*

As he approached the light, it began to dim and vanish. In its place, like a creature born from an egg, a figure that looked like Nekage appeared. Two dark raven's wings extended from his back and flared wide. His hands were holding a swirling orb of dark energies, his eyes glowed. He descended to the end of the bridge of light, the swirling orb placing itself at the end of Nekage's path.

*Nekage walked his path without stopping. It was almost as if nothing there was catching him off guard. The only thing that caused him to look up with his almost dazed eyes was the image of the dark clone that stood before him and placed the orb down. It was odd, in various images and meditation that Nekage had had, this was a first for him to see his angelic powers in that form. An almost identical clone of Nekage, shape and form. But his skin, a blackish blue hue almost as if of the very darkness around him. His eyes, a total change. They pierced the darkness like the very stars around him. Without the wings on his back, it seemed as if he would just fade into darkness with the rest of the background. This didnt stop Nekage though. He nvr once faltered. He kept moving forward to reach the dark form before him. As he finally came to face with the object before him, Nekage stood still as he looked on at it exhausted. Without much thought to it, Nekage reached out to take hold of the orb in his hands*

Strangely, the closer he got to it, the larger the shadowed form became. Eventually, Nekage had to strain his neck up to see the creature's face as he stood at the edge of the path. The sphere was huge, more than twice his height across. Placed on the end of the path like a portal, a font of power.

*As Nekage looked up at the being of his inner angelic powers, his expression suddenly changed from the one of a tired human, to that of the expressionless expression that Nekage normally wore, with a hint of anger in his brow*
"....Hmph...."
*Nekage took his final step forwards in front of the large orb like portal, and thrusting his left arm out in front of him as if he attempted to push aside the colossal before him*
"....Out of my way...."

The being just looked down at Nekage, but didn't move. However, Nekage's hand began to pass through the outer layer of the sphere, pulling him in. He felt incalculable energy course through him as he was pulled into the orb.

"Darkness...." *Nekage stirred, feeling cold stone below him. Pushing himself up into a sitting position, Nekage's hand rubbed against his forhead, as he felt a sudden pang of pain run through it as if he had a major hangover*
"Ahh......Where...."
*Adjusting his eyes, Nekage looked at his surroundings unsure as to what had happened, or where he was. Looking to his right, Nekage spotted a small fire that burned with a figure sitting besides it*
"......"
*Nekage took his blk coat that lay on the ground below him, and pulled it over his shoulder to rest the fur lining against his neck once more*
