Passing through the portal had a profound effect on David's body. His unconscious state was a necessity for the changes to take place, for his heritage to come to fruition. Once he crossed over all of the power he was capable of merged with his aura, his essence of life, he would become a new man, a new person, one capable of things limited solely by imagination. His body changed as well, he was a muscular and well toned freak of nature back on Earth due to his workout regimen, but on Eldorath his fitness was subpar, his body accommodated that as well. His muscles grew more dense, enhancing his strength, giving him greater speed, and growing his endurance by more then ten fold. He would look nearly the same, but when he awoke David would feel like a new man, the changes instantaneous.<br/><br/>The water was a rude awakening, his eyes flashed open as Leara spoke to him.<b>"What in the actual fuck? That is no way to treat the man who just saved your ass."</b>He said with a hint of anger in his voice. Overall he was glad to be awake though, the changes were noticeable. David expected to be sore, hurt from the crash, his head at least from the impact of the airbag, but there was nothing. No twinges of pain as he moved his limbs, no mark from the impact on his forehead when he touched his hand to it. This was all very strange.<b>"I feel somehow, different."</b>He stated as he made his way to his feet. She was right, he didn't want her carrying him, his legs were craving exercise at this point, despite all the running he had done back on Earth.<br/><br/>He looked out along the path, listened to the nature around them, it was familiar and at the same time it was not. The colors were far more vibrant, the shades of green in the trees and shrubs popped out more, and green was far from the only color. There were shades of pink, purple, red, and blue in the tree line. It was a menagerie of amazing. The sound of the frog, or what he assumed was a frog, croaking in the distance appeared more sharp and crisp as well. This new world was amazing.<b>"Lead the way my warrior friend."</b>He stated in a more friendly tone and manner. If they really did have that long of a jaunt ahead of them then it was definitely imperative that they get going. He knew nothing of the area, the terrain was all foreign to him. His Ford Explorer a mess at the tree, but it was useless now, the path was not wide enough for the vehicle, and he noticed that with the way the front end was all smashed up that it would likely not work very well anyways.<br/><br/>David would follow Leara along the path, gazing in awe and wonder at the new sights and sounds. Nothing really seemed to frighten him, not with knowing that Leara was with him. Her fierce fighting skills were amazing to have witnessed, even if it had been limited to throwing a spear, it was still more than he had ever seen. He didn't know much of what to talk about along the walk, leaning on Leara to strike up a conversation. He didn't want to appear to be the pestering type and ask a lot of annoying questions. He knew if the roles were reversed he would hate that, it would be excruciating. He knew that in due time he would get an education, if Leara was correct then they would have to bring him up to speed, so he remained patient, figuring things, such as his training and education, would come in due time now.
