The Gathering of Incarnations
Aside from watching the current incarnation's adventures, the incarnations could occasionally fight one another.
In the beginning, those battles had been tremendously exciting.
Imagine fighting someone who possessed the same soul as yourself but had developed completely different techniques, experiences, and combat instincts.
It had been fascinating.
At least in the beginning.
But after fighting one another countless times across an eternity, things had changed.
They knew each other's movements.
They knew each other's habits.
They knew which techniques would be used under certain circumstances.
They knew how their opponents would react to feints.
They knew how they would counter certain attacks.
Even the most spectacular battles eventually became predictable.
The incarnations had reached the point where fighting one another was similar to reading a book whose ending they already knew.
There was only one exception.
The first incarnation.
