Since the trip to Odym was a few weeks long, Raiden had gotten closer to Walker, gaining a better idea about Walker's personality. He was a true pacifist, with no trace of violence within himself. This was evident when the group encountered pirates three times during their journey. Each time, the pirates were swiftly defeated, but Walker insisted on keeping them alive, taking the opportunity to preach about changing their ways.

 

He also taught Cary how to recharge her energy from the Blue Lantern Battery. This proved helpful, especially given Cary's age, as she tended to lose energy quickly. She even assisted Raiden and Walker in defeating pirates at one point.

 

After about a month and a half, Raiden and his friends finally reached Odym. The planet was breathtaking, with lush landscapes and an ethereal atmosphere. The feeling Raiden got from it, however, raised his suspicions.

 

"This place… it's beautiful," said Kori.

 

"And here I thought Karna was a green planet. This place is amazing. Even the feeling I get from it, something isn't right," said Raiden.

 

"What is it, Brother Raiden?" asked Cary.

 

"It's just that… the same way you charged my power back on the ship, I feel so energized. It's like… hold on, THRONE OF HEROES!"

 

'I am Saber, name's Mordred. Huh? You again? At least tell me there's a fight this time?'

 

'Unfortunately not. This is only to test how long I can maintain the transformation.'

 

'Huh? Does that even matter? You can barely hold on for five mint—WAIT A MINUTE! Yo, this is crazy.'

 

'What?'

 

'This energy! It's like you have infinite energy. Your body keeps regenerating it from that planet's blue energy! Holy crap, you can keep our transformation for years at this rate. You just have to remain close to that planet!'

 

"Woah!"

 

"Hmm, Sir Raiden, I don't believe you have shown me your power before. It would seem you can transform into a woman? A strong one at that. Is there something worrying you?" spoke Saint Walker.

 

"Yeah, I can transform into different things. That doesn't matter now, Walker. This planet, does it contain the Blue Lanterns?" said Raiden.

 

The ship was close to landing, so they already let the autopilot handle it.

 

"Yes, our base of operations is here. Even the main battery of the Blue Lantern Corps is here," spoke Saint Walker.

 

"So, the Blue Lantern's power, is it the same as the Green Lantern? Or is it different? Because, for some reason, I keep receiving power from it. It's like it's filling me with energy," said Raiden.

 

With a bit of shock on his face, Saint Walker asked, "You receive energy from it?"

 

"Yeah, first it was Cary that charged me up back on Vega, but here, it's like this planet is making me stronger. Shit, I could destroy planets at this rate and not lose energy."

 

"Hmmm, I have no idea. I believe our guardian Ganthet would know more about this. It's quite strange. Our ring is meant to empower other rings, not normal mages," answered Saint Walker.

 

"Well, I'm nothing but normal. Trust me on that. Let's go see your friend, Walker."

 

"Indeed."

 

The ship landed as the door opened up to the beautiful planet of Odym.

 

"Welcome to our home, Odym!" said Saint Walker.

As Walker spoke those words, a group of individuals descended from the skies, landing close. Two were diminutive figures, resembling small humanoids with blue skin, large blue eyes, and wearing simple robes. The third was a very peculiar Elephant man – a blue-skinned humanoid with an elephant-like head. He possessed large, floppy ears, a trunk, and tusks, giving him the appearance of an anthropomorphic elephant.

 

"Welcome, allies of the emotional spectrum! I am Ganthet, Guardian of the Blue Lantern and its progenitor. My purpose is to guide this world towards a tranquil existence. And as for you, young one, you have become a part of our corps—an unprecedented honor as our first female member. The sole female presence among us is Sister Sayd, though she does not bear the mantle of a Lantern." spoke Ganthet.

 

Sayd stepped forward and added, "My name is Sayd. It's truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance, especially yours, young one. The Blue Lantern Corps is in its infancy, and every new member is embraced with open hearts. Welcome, dear child."

"Hoho! Greetings, dear friends! I am Brother Warth, and you may call me by that name. It brings me great joy to meet each and every one of you. May hope illuminate our paths together, young ones!" spoke Brother Warth

 

"Hello, my name is Raiden Kagawa. I'm human, lost, and trying to find my way home. This is Kori; she is a Tamaranian. And this young one is Cary; she is your newest member. She is young, so I expect you to treat her as such. Her mother entrusted her to me, and I will watch out for her training with you all. If I sense that you aren't treating her well, I will take her away. Trust me when I say this, but I don't care if our entire corps is my enemy," warned Raiden, his words carrying a hint of a warning.

 

The other members of the Blue Lantern Corps simply smiled, realizing that he was indeed serious. However, they were confident that they would treat Cary well, understanding that there was no corps more peaceful and down-to-earth than the Blue Lanterns.

 

"Hello, I'm Koriand'r; you can call me Kori, though," said Kori as she introduced herself.

 

"Hi…I'm Caryand'r, but you can call me Cary as well… I'm glad to meet you all," spoke Cary, a bit embarrassed.

 

"Please, do join us. Follow along, and we shall guide you to our modest sanctuary, where you're welcome to reside as we mentor young Cary. Perhaps both of you might consider participating in her training. Our exercises not only sharpen the mind but also cultivate a genuine sense of hope within." Spoke Ganthet.

 

"Sure, why not? I don't mind training with you all, but I'd also like to discuss some things with you, Guardian Ganthet," said Raiden.

 

"Indeed, I shall converse with you in private as well, dear Raiden." Said Ganthet.

The group proceeded to follow the Blue Lanterns, eager to explore the new environment and embrace the training that awaited them.

"Ah, Young Raiden, it appears you, a mortal, have found yourself astray in the celestial expanse of the Vega Star System. Your explicit mention of Hal Jordan suggests a past affiliation. Alas, I lack the means to commune with Hal for verification, yet knowledge of his true identity was a guarded secret among the Green Lanterns. Your acquaintance with his private appellation hints at a closeness, indeed." spoke Ganthet.

 

"Yeah, I wouldn't say close; we just worked together somewhat. Anyways, what I wanted to discuss was the blue energy of hope. What is its purpose?" said Raiden.

 

"The overarching concept behind the Blue Lantern Corps lies in fortifying the prowess of the Green Lanterns. The synergy between the Green and Blue wielders yields a formidable force. While initially tailored to enhance the Green Lantern Corps, it should not astonish you if the Blue Ring holds the potential to amplify other rings. Therefore, Cary's empowerment of you should not be a source of surprise." spoke Ganthet.

 

"Guardian Ganthet, I am not a Lantern. I have zero connection to the emotional spectrum," said Raiden.

 

"That is... inconceivable. I perceive within you a resonance, a saturation of our essence. Such a manifestation is exclusive to those who wield the might of the emotional spectrum, an energy beyond ordinary bounds." spoke Ganthet in shock.

 

"Nope, I'm simply a mage, I guess. I think I got the general idea. My body, for some reason, converts your energy to Mana for me, Sound Crazy right ?" said Raiden.

 

"Indeed, it verges on the realm of madness. The implication suggests your corporeal form possesses the uncanny capability to decipher and harmonize with the intricate energies of the emotional spectrum. Such a feat eludes even the divine entities themselves!" said Ganthet.

 

"You'd be surprised at how many times I heard someone say something impossible regarding what I can do. Regardless of the matter, how long will Cary's training take? I'd like to go home as soon as possible," said Raiden.

 

"One must not hasten into endeavors, young Raiden. If you seek to impart upon Cary the wisdom to safeguard herself and embrace unfettered existence, patience is the key. A measured approach will yield a more profound understanding and enduring foundation." said Ganthet.

 

"I know, I know. I'll take this as an opportunity to train, I guess. Using your power, I'll get to know many servants and strengthen myself," said Raiden

….

And Just like that, two Years had passed, Raiden's Training with the Blue lanterns Yielded a some shocking Results
