Finally, I decided to kill my curiosity and decide against asking stupid questions

hey, they did not try to poke holes in bizarre false stories why should I?

A piercing whistle sounded from somewhere, shocking me I barely refrained from jumping up to my feet.

A moment later, a creature straight out of my nightmare blinked into existence near Ester

"your tea mistress," it said in a soft voice in a language I could hardly recognise

it was uncanny understanding a language you haven't heard before in your life

"thank you, Balthazar," Ester said smiling kindly towards the creature before she looked back at me

"it appears that you've had your fill monk why don't you rest and sleep before we continue our little chat in the morning"

at that Ester nodded her head towards Anabella, who promptly got up and beckoned me to follow her

even though I felt a little hungry I had lost my appetite by that bizarre imagery

I need answers and Silver was the only one who could give them to me

in my absent mindedness of thinking and pondering my mind wandered away

and I did not notice it when we entered another small cosy room that had a bed and a small desk of drawers with a circular dirty mirror

without thinking I just went to the bed, I did not acknowledge Anabella as I drifted into sleep immediately as I lay on the soft mattress

I slowly felt my body relax and calm down, my mind became peaceful and I started falling asleep.............

when I woke up I found myself in a dark room that had no window and light could be seen through some cracks in the walls but I couldn't tell if it was daylight or dusk

I got up to look for a bathroom but as I opened it the four lights flooded into the small room and I froze at the sight of myself in the mirror,

I had never been in the presence of something I thought was human before but looking at myself now I couldn't help myself.

"Oh, My God....." I whispered quietly as I ran my hands over my face,

I was completely covered in tattoos,

I had scars across my body but now they were gone, the tattoos covered every inch of my face in intricate lines and designs I did not recognise,

My clothes covered most of the runes on my body save those that crawled along with my hands, up to my neck, and to just below my hairline. They reminded me of my scars more than anything

they looked as though they were drawn on with a sharp knife or brush with a thin tip I could not tell they made any sense, they were strange and different

how long I stayed in that position I do not know nor care to remember,

When I finally calmed down I looked again at my reflection

and there was no longer anything to recognize,

"Good you are awake" Silver suddenly spoke up

causing me to jump slightly but this only caused another loud noise as my shoulder collided against the side of the wall,

"Silver" I growled in my mind as I found my bearing

"I need some answers," I told him angry

suddenly his illusionary figure appeared before as

he merely nodded in approval before he started to speak "I am glad you have awoken because it will be wise if you listen carefully"

I nodded slightly in response before I waited for Silver's explanation

"do you remember the pool and what happened in it?"

I gave a slight nod and silver continued to say

"That day your entire body was baptised in the million year ice water, the melted and recorded your mortal body into a spiritual one,

but we underestimated the ice water as it began to tear you apart moments after it entered you and since you did not have the necessary skill to guide that water in your body,

Lord Erebus decided to aid you and while he created spiritual vein channels in your body he also decided to ain't your very soul in divine runes using his own blood and divinity,

causing you to be reborn with a divine spiritual body as you have noticed you are like a newborn baby with smooth skin and no hair in your body.

if you want further explanation you should enter your inner soul to see its changes

and as for the question how did you get here that was done by two Dark apostles who for some reason knocked you out and sent you through a spatial portal that landed you in the Fae realm,

and not just that they fate bonded you to that small child who was in the arms when you woke and don't know anything about that horrible, horrible cat"

I stood there speechless trying to digest the load of information dumped at me

"What is my divine spiritual body? where are Lord Erebus and lady Tong? what are dark apostles? what is a Fate bond and why did they do that to the poor baby?"

I asked all these questions in a single breath as I eagerly waited for the answers

, Silver simply smiled at me before he answered my questions

"I will start with fate bond which is, in essence, a soul link between two parties."

" the fate bond is unique because it causes the two parties to be linked not just through the soul but also by fate in other words both the party and the link have ties and links to each other as well as the bond allows two different people to share a life course"

"what does it mean?" I asked feeling confused

Sliver face palmed himself and grumbled

"stupid child"

"in stupid people's terms, it means you and her ate now connected in such a way that whatever happens to you she will always be there, imagine an annoying daughter who will never leave you alone"

just my luck

" Dark apostles are men and women that are blessed by dark energy gods to corrupt and destroy this world why they would do this to you is beyond me"

"and Lord Erebus is dead as he used everything he had to create your current body, those designs are not just tattoos but runes imbued with the divine essence that has transformed you into a demigod as for lady Tong I have no idea where she is all I know she did not die when the runners finally crumbled"

"what about the spiritual body?"

Silver let out a growl

"look into your body and soul you fool"

I instantly sat down cross-legged and then began to chant.

As I began to concentrate and look deeper than I had ever concentrated in my life,

my eyes glowed a brilliant red colour as a golden black aura surrounded my body

this was new

then the world around me changed

Sudden isn’t a strong enough word for the transition. The transition might be too strong a word as well. I was sitting in the room, and then I was not.

There wasn’t a step or a blink or a pop to mark the movement.

I had just stayed still while the world changed around me.

I was overcome by a horrible sensation of not having moved.

The sickening lurch that should accompany a sudden unexpected shift in position was uncomfortably absent, and it left a hollow void in its place.

Each of my senses, in their turn, agreed that I was not at all where I had been, that I had somehow gotten there in an entirely improper manner, and that they were ardent in their opposition to the whole affair.

The place I found himself appeared to be the lake from my soul world but now it was different

I was standing on a small island no bigger than a lawn tennis court right in the middle there was a green spacious tree under which my soul sat cross legend while a white marble was spinning right in the centre of my soul body

the beautiful white had been replaced by an angry red glaring sun and the eater of the lake had completely turned black and a small laughing buddha state was floating on the surface of the water circling the small island

as far I could see there was only water there was no other land in sight.

I closely looked at the soul body which was sitting under the tree it was me but completely made out of some white substance that instants a blue black light I could same red tattoos in the figure along with its bone structs and a nervous system

that appeared similar to mine

It was so weird to see such an oddity in real life as it looked almost exactly as I pictured my own soul to be like but it felt more like a mirage than a real soul;

After staring at the strange soul I heard footsteps approaching

I turned around to see silver who was approaching me as he walked on the lake water,

his appearance was strange as he floated on the water without feet and his feet looked like tiny legs that grew out of his ankles as they moved on their own.

He looked even more bizarre than my soul

in a blink of an eye, he was standing next to me

"so are you ready to know what abilities you have along with what you can learn"

I simply nodded

silver looked at me and also nodded he began to walk toward my soul form

"As you can see your soul and soul body has changed, and our training has resulted in you learning some unorthodox ways,"

"this first method," he said as pointed toward the red sun "is your mind root through your mind root you gained three forms of powers one are called sympathy magic and the other is called runes casting and the last one is mind's eye"

"Sympathy magic as you have had experience is the magic conversion you convert your energy in your case soul force into an elemental form that resembles an emotion such as anger, fear, sorrow, joy, love, pride, peace,

compassion or kindness to name a few each emotion allows you to morph the energy into an elemental form such that joy is an emotion that resonates with fire, fear with colonies or ice, anger with lightning, love with nature, peace with water and pride with air these few of the examples that form the basis of sympathy magic"

sooner gave flight pause and gave a nod of understanding he continued

"the second ability Rune casting is much more diverse, each thing in this multiverse has a name a true name that makes the world who they are such why certain fired are hot while others are cold why one soil fertile why one is not, rune casting is an art of creation form that allows one to create symbols or rather names of universal laws such rune of destruction, the rune of creation, the rune of crumbling, the rune of opening, rune of hiding, rune of changing, the rune of life are a few examples, normally a normal rune mage learns for a year if not decade before he can imitate the known rune on canvas which can be anything from a piece of paper to celestial jade and once he becomes master in that area he then learns how to decipher the names of power and draws them on runic talisman objects, but you are a walking anomaly you did not learn any names or real runes, you just use random scribbles, symbols or glyphs and imbued them with your will and emotions converting them into things of power, I have never seen such a thing. Even the great sigil masters and rune God in the great planes can’t do it as you can, even they take hours if not days to make a runic spell

but you just lick a random letter, will it act as you want and then power it through your emotions you don't even use your soul force not to mention you draw it on air not even on a medium

That is high-level archaloisian magic, and you just do it like it is nothing

if I didn't know any better I would have considered you to be an archaloisian survivor"

by the end, Silver was huffing and puffing like he ran a marathon as he stood there breathing heavily

"then there is your other anomaly your mind's eye, it is not peculiar on its own, everyone has one but few rarely use it is generally only good for three things, one it provides perception beyond ordinary sight, two it gives the person the ability to Manipulate the etheric phenomenon aura energy that revolves around a person or object and three it allows you to see and enter the world river but your dose not stop at that, it gives you the ability to form runes in your mind which was considered impossible, along with your soul sight that bears the secret of a person in front without them knowing about it might I add and to top it all your mind's eye allows you to harness your will and emotions"

I listened intently to every single word the Dude's ranting and slowly but surely comprehension began to dawn in my brain,

he then explained what a mind's eye was and told me that the mind's eye is the ability of the soul that can use the energies around them to control their environment or create things from nothing.

It allows the user to control the natural world and even influence its elements, it can even affect time itself.

He then explained how we could control our body through the mind's eye, how we could control the energy around us using the mind's eye.

"And then there is your pure soul, that has some been dusted before nascent soul and without a tribulation, it is a complete replacement of a spiritual root and defies the heavenly laws that allow one to cultivate not to mention you have already formed a false soul core that somehow is completely merged with your soul and contains a broken driven spark of the law of darkness, that means all you have to is cultivate and your soul will automatically without any barrier will enter Nascent divinity realm without any aid and your body which was reforged by a million year old ice water is fully a tuned with your soul and will grow along with it using the soul force to advance"

Silver was by was angrily hoping as he began to shout out

"Not to mention the divine rune drawn your soul by a good who used is own divine blood essence and vitality to do so, allows you access to abilities I even don't know about"

" and this monstrosity" Silver pointed to a golden orchid flower blooming in the corner of the islands that I had missed

" transforms every type of energy into the pure soul force"

"And this bald donkey" he angrily pointed at the floating laughing Budget statute

" Freely gives you every chant, scripture and song of faith and power to you, and you don't even understand what that even means along with with the very tree of life and death as your immortal heart"

" and me your personal weapon locker room gives the axe of destruction" he turned into a danish axe

"the mask of deceit" then he turned into a mask that had Latin words written on the back

"And the Ring of fortune" then transformed into a silver bangle floating into the air

and then he transformed back into the small boy I knew of

"Do you have any idea how lucky you are you Spoilt, rotten, foolish, ungrateful child"

With those last words, the Guy took off in a sprint

He was soon gone as quickly as he came, but his departure left the feeling that there was still another person myself in this place; the wind blew hard against the lake shores as if to blow me away; as if trying to push me out.

and I found myself once back in the room with Anabella shaking me

"Come on monk, breakfast is ready," she said and then left me alone in the darkroom alone with my chaotic thoughts
