17 Crystal ball (2/2)
So, all I have to do is reach the 10th line It sounds easy enough. As I look into the ball I see a white light in the center showing my affinity for magic. ”Yes, this is so cool let me check white means I have an affinity with nothing”.
Desmond became shocked by this since the other colors were all aligned with something. Red meant fire, Blue meant water, cyan meant ice, Black meant dark, Green meant plant, and there were a whole bunch others as well. Most people had a mixed affinity for things it was rare to have only one affinity let alone none.
”That stupid old man why doesn't this body have an affinity to anything? Does this mean I can't practice Magic? He got a bit worried then his gaze landed in another line of text. Stating having no Affinity is neither good nor bad it meant you could absorb any elemental particle in the air without suffering backlash but, you will never be as strong as someone who has an affinity for the said element or absorbs it as quickly or efficiently.
”Think the Lord I can sill practice Magic” as he was worried about his chances if practice magic the small white light finally moved. It expanded passing the first line and second before stopping at the third.
You have got to be kidding me only up to the third line does this mean I will never get to be like that guy who blew up that building? ”No, wait something else is happening there are bubbles”. Looking over to the plaque again he realizes the bubbles are very bad.
You got to be kidding me why must there be bubbles? This meant that my spirit was damaged but when could my spirit have possibly been ... oh right. I dove into that old man's spirit and exploded didn't I but, I feel completely fine.
A strong spirit is very important for someone to cast magic it helps control the spells and attract elemental particles toward you. If someone tried to cast a spell while their spirit is damaged they have a large chance to blow themselves up. They even wrote the warning in big bold text for the blind and the stupid.
Could that have been the problem that magi said had? To be able to look at someone and know that they have a problem with their soul instantly its just so cool.
”Well, that's disappointing but, how could my soul be injured without me knowing?” Desmond took his handoff the crystal ball dove into his body focusing fully on his soul, changing what he saw into complete darkness. He was inside his body checking his spirit for any abnormalities.
”So that's the problem” his soul was the size of a fist again since he did not need to use his soul threads anymore to keep his body stitched but, he saw small cracks on his spirit so small they could easily have gone unnoticed.
That not good how am I gonna repair my soul? If I don't fix this I'll never be able to perform magic ... Yes, that's right I can just eat another soul. I can't take humans that will cause many problems, do they have something small I can kill like a chicken? There has got to be some less threatening animals out there.

As Desmond left the park in dissatisfaction he headed towards the closest bookstore he could find it was he got lucky and the store was fairly close to the park. There were a lot of stores close to the park it appeared to him areas like this are considered good real estate. The brick buildings were getting taller and nicer in this area.
Before the tallest building he had been only two stories tall here, it's about 3 or 4. He could see some really tall ones in the distance about 10 stories or more but he was too far for him to walk over there just to look at a few buildings plus he didn't care, his world had the same thing by the dozen. The insane wall they built was more interesting to him than that.
...
Making my way toward the store I saw a sign that read Hunter's Bizarre it was a peculiar name for a book store. The store had big glass pane windows stacked with books in front of it with what looked like a logo of werewolf grasping the moon it was an interesting design choice.
