《My Only Lorelei》Chapter 7 - The Secret Mission
Advertisement
Without knowing where we were, I had decided to just follow Tal for now. There were no signs of Din or Mun anywhere.
I could tell Tal was beginning to panic as he would scratch his head furiously every few seconds while ushering curses.
“This is the lowest point of my life…”
He flapped the leg of his pants and his shirt, trying to get as much manure off his pants as possible without having to touch it.
Even though it was horrible of me, I found it amusing seeing him crawl out of the pile of manure while trying to avoid getting his hands dirty.
It took him a while but he managed to get out with his hands still clean.
We had landed on a farm, but it looked like Tal had no interest in talking to the owner.
And it would do no good for me to talk since only Din appeared to be able to see me so following him was the best option.
“How come every low point in my life, Mun is always in the center of it? It’s been years since you learned what your Wish was and you still can’t control it?”
He was kicking a rock as he was walking at this point.
“If I was a Spirit, I could probably master my Wish in less than a week. And mine wouldn’t be something lame like a teleport, I bet I could create anything just by thinking of it.”
Suddenly, his mood seemed a lot better.
“If I had a Wish like that, I wouldn’t need to listen to Cyen complain about how horrible my ideas are! Then, I could become the best engineer in the group! I mean, I already am the best, but that would definitely create no doubt about it.”

His mood dropped back down as he continued.
“But no… Mun had to be the one with the Wish. I’m just your average man who is led around by the women in his life…”
He sighed.
I listened to him complain for a while longer before we finally saw Mun.
Tal rushed forward towards Mun at the first sight of her.
I expected him to yell at her with all the complaining he was shouting to himself earlier, but he instead embraced her.
“Learn to control your Wish already, you idiot,” Tal said with a wavering voice.
Mun seemed surprised at first, but then held him.
“Did you miss me that much, big brother?”
Tal didn’t answer.
They stood while embraced for a while until Mun finally noticed.
“Tal? What is this stuff all over you?”
Ah, it all made sense now.
“Ewww—! Get off of me!”
Mun tried her hardest to push her brother off her, but it was no use.
“You can’t get away from me that easily!”
My opinion of this man was as low as it could get.
—While the two siblings were all covered in manure, they began their search for Din.
“Did you see where he landed?” Tal asked.
Mun, who was still sobbing, replied, “No… probably somewhere… this direction…”
After walking for a while, Tal broke the silence.
“The mission… was a failure, wasn’t it?”
A serious air took over the two as Tal spoke, “But because of the circumstances, we should be excused from all punishments, right?”
A sudden realization caused Mun to panic, “Y-y-yeah, how were we supposed to know all that stuff would happen. It didn’t even say anything about Katherine Morrison being a Spirit in the first place so Eliana probably didn’t know either.”

For some reason, the two of them looked very afraid. Something about failing a mission involving Katherine…
“I’m sure if Eliana knew that Katherine was a Spirit, then she probably wouldn’t have told us to assassinate her in the first place, right?”
Assassinate...Katherine?
“Y-yeah! There’s no way…”
Even though they just agreed with each other, neither one of them seemed sure.
“Do you think she’ll be mad we’re coming back empty handed?”
“Don’t be silly, Mun. We found out a lot more about Spirits thanks to Din so we can use that info as our way out of trouble.”
Tal tried to be optimistic, but then as he continued, he became depressed again.
“But then again, we pretty much knew everything he told us…”
“Anyways, what are we going to do with Din? It was your idea to rescue him, Tal. We could’ve at least saved our smoke for a future mission, now we’re all out.”
“I know, I know… but we couldn’t just leave him there. His friend died even though he was trying to protect her. If he had died there too, then that would’ve been just way too sad.”
They continued walking in silence.
I decided to keep their mission a secret from Din.

The Demonic Servant
When I first regained 'consciousness', I was but a broken being, my memories were mostly missing, and I was starving. As time passed, I survived by feeding on the souls of the deceased in this desolate hell, where only the dead live. And unfortunately, these dead are not the kind of dead that stays dead. Instead, they're mindless souls of all shapes, sizes and power whom roam this cursed home of mine. Name? I carry the names of millions upon millions of souls. Bob, Jerry, Askaram, Sara... Race? I devoured the souls of dragons, humans, devils and sentient rocks. As I lived... no, perhaps existed is a better world, I absorbed the memories, experiences, forbidden knowledge and devilish arts of many, many damned souls. After all, who could ever roam this forsaken land but the damned? Now, for the first time in eons, I am finally granted a sliver of hope. To escape this hell, I am willing to serve anyone. The question is, will they accept my servitude? [I don't own the cover. No idea who made it, just found it on google. Still, if you want me to remove it, just ask.]

Spirits of Eternity(A cultivation story based on spirits)
There are many after Liv, for what she can do. Spirits flock to her and help her, while the rest of the world captures them and uses their power with abandon. Liv set forth to find the truth behind her parents’ death, after their final message. After hearing their voice, Liv was offered a decision. Live safely, or be the best. Just like someone from the past, Liv decided to step towards strength. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), what is referred to as 'energy' here(for talking to spirits), and Dominion(for Aura). This is still a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcomed. This and my other work, Monsters as Men, are set in the same world. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
