>Meditate.
Also, analyze (Or Introspect, if we've the time and freedom of thought, since that seemed to be a way to better realize and appreciate one's abilities based off of previous Introspection) our growth since the beginning of this mess, recalling how we started and our current abilities that we DO know about? (Not looking for a list of Skills/Stances/Moves, we could just reference the first post for that. I'm talking about a more general sense.)
>Let's not go so far as meditating in the middle of all this, rather, just consider a moment. As well, contemplate how our many allies have helped us through all this, in a more absrtract fashion, to see if there's anything other than face value that can be see there.
> You let your Qi flow freely and
center yourself.
> You can feel yourself close to a realisation, a truth unimaginable beyond a locked door just outside your reach in a lightless room. You can sense the door's presence, an unnatural sensation in your mind, a foreign intrusion that has concealed the truth from you and, no doubt, many others.
> You feel a strange taste on your lips as you push against this barrier, a taste that you can only describe, as though in a fevered dream and in the ramblings of a madman, as
violet.
> Even though you have begun to comprehend the nature of the alien thing in your mind, you cannot yet fight it, for it lies in the deepest reaches, the very core of your being that makes you what you are. Only by surpassing your very self can you break free of shackles you never even knew existed.
> You turn away from the barrier and look in a different direction. You do not know what it is you are looking for, but you know that it is there,
there where the Qi flows and replenishes is an
existence whose age carries the weight of a mountain and whose capacity for
power can contain the entire world's rivers.
> You feel
yourself in this
existence, polished to near-perfection and, as the Qi flows, more and more perfect still, slowly, slowly - this
existence has no doubt been nourished and reinforced by your Qi ever since you began fighting.
> Yet the last touches are the still the hardest - only a perfectly-centred stream of Qi can polish the
existence to completion. Only by achieving the impossible can you awaken this power.
> You recall, when you touched Youmu deeply, deeper than any mortal could to heal her, you felt a similar
existence, still quiet and dormant.
> You recall a similar, but subtly different sensation in Meiling's heart.
> Anything else?
