116 Unwilling Teacher, Unwanted Student Part 2 (2/2)

\”Why in the world did you do that\”

\”You don't have to worry about that. Alright I'm done with you, so you can go home now\”. Zane said as he began to shew Desmond away.

\”You can't let your student go out like that he'll draw to much attention. He just had a bounty placed on him at least show him how to suppress his soul\”. Seraphine said while eating some of the spilled food on the table.

\”Surpress my soul why would I need to do that\” Desmond asked with a bit of confusion.

\”You may not have noticed, but your soul is far to overbearing for normal people to handel. Your spiritual energy is leaking out, so much people might mistakenly think your trying to kill them. Every shift in your emotion is clear to read. Its northing to us, but to others you can clearly see its a problem\”.

Desmond nodded his head in understanding. His spiritual energy made Desmond stand out like a lion in a pack of rabbits. Every shift in his emotion scared those rabbits away, but would also attract other much more dangerous predators.

\”Uhh ... fine it shouldn't take long anyway\” Zane uttered. Desmond wasn't like other people he had great control of his spirit since the beginning. In addition to Desmond's magical practice Teaching Desmond how to suppress his spirit only took 10 minutes.

Desmond's body was like a water basin with many wholes. Zane only Directed Desmond on how to plug the wholes and keep the energy deep inside him. The instructions made Desmond appear just as he usually did. It even altered his eyes back to their normal color.

For Desmond to surpress his spirit he had to constantly focus on it which forced Desmond to split his attention. The act caused Desmond's mind to be constrained which limited the amount of things that he could do. If Desmond wanted to cast magic while suppressing his spirit he would have to do it slowly or give up on concealment entirely to fight effectively.

\”There now you can go\”

Abruptly Zane flicked his finger conjuring a huge gust of wind that picked Desmond up and began to carry him away.

\”Wait I'm not finished asking questions and there's still people hunting me down\”.

Though the time they spent together was short Zane was tired of hearing Desmond's voice. Coldy he responded by saying, \”I don't care\”.

Then Zane whisked Desmond away past many large corridors decorated with items from Seraphine and Ragnars travels. Towards a room containing an active star gate of which Desmond was thrown inside. The star gate teleported Desmond back to the Hunter's Bazaar where he was flung outside of onto the door.

Desmond picked himself up off of the floor and wanted to immediately shout insults at Zane, but his focus was on a suitcase that was flying quickly at him. By ducking away Desmond was able to avoid being hit by the large suitcase. Believing that the suitcase was for him Desmond walked over to inspect it.

The suitcase was normal with nothing fancy about it. The only thing that stood out was a note attached to the side of it that said,\” Mystic items effective range is 150 -200 meters, must bury before usage. Use as soon as possible to defend against enemy detections. P.S do not tell anyone about star gate its obviously illegal to have\”.

After reading the note Desmond looked inside the suitcase to find the golden seven treasure incense burner. It was placed in the middle of the suitcase surrounded by compact dirt. Desmond quickly closed the suitcase again, so no one would see then he let out a drained sigh.

\”I've lost, so much in just a few days but I've also gained much in return. The truth about Immortality, the value of my soul, and wills. Every single bit of this knowledge is priceless to me I have such a wondrous opportunity, yet I've been complacent. I can not let this go on I must reach the pinnacle of magic\”.

When Desmond finished gearing himself up for an epic training montage the headline of a newspaper under his feet caught his eye. Desmond read the article briefly before tearing it to shreds.

\”I was just recently captured to be sacrificed, blown up, had a bounty placed on me. Then I had to sell my soul for magic. Right after all that I now find out a war is on the horizon. This is just great, just fucking great. Why did no one tell me?\”.

On The Surface of The Moon

Zane was seated in his original spot while playing with Desmond's soul in his hand. Seraphine and Ragnar were seated next to him relaxing when Zane suddenly spoke.

\”How long do we have to keep playing these games with that thing. It belongs in a bottle inside my lab. This tiny bit of its soul is barely enough to satisfy my needs for now\”.

Seraphine responded by saying, \”You must hold on you saw what the relic showed us. The pillar of light he generates is immense. I have seen very few like his in the world. You know my relic only shows opportunity of my actions and the opportunity those around me represent. The last time we followed the pillars light we gained unimaginable wealth. If I knew more about what his pillar signified then we wouldn't have to play games with him\”.

\”Yes I know, but its not like that relic is all powerful. Everything is subject to change by forces out side of our control\”.

Seraphine nodded in agreement then replied, \”if his pillar ever grows dim then he would have exhausted his usefulness then we would just have to kill him and divide up his soul. For now we just have to wait and see we've already connected our fates with his as per planed. You just have to not go overboard with the experimenting\”.

Zane snicked then said, \”sure i'll restrain my self, but you need to get your shit together and get some acting lessons\”.

Seraphine had a displeased look on her face while she asked Zane what he ment.

\”Your telling me you did that on purpose? Remember when you said you don't kill for pleasure only money. If he spent more then 5 minutes alone with you he would know that was a lie immediately. Your more blood thirsty then me and Ragnar\”.

Seraphine's eyebrow twiched then she furiously replied, \”Don't question my acting methods the only reason no one can tell if your acting or not is because you don't have to change your an asshole all day around\”.

\”I'm a saint compared to you\”

\”After everything that you've done you have the gull to call yourself a saint\”

\”Yes because unlike you I didn't leave my entire race to die\”.

Zane's words truck a powerful blow to Seraphine making her feel the sting of her past. But Seraphine was not to be messed with she mobilized the full might of a rank 3 and directed her killing intent towards Zane. Zane was not scared off he did the same. Both of their auras clashed resulting in sparks generating and the sound of explosions. The ground and table broke apart while the air in the room swished around violently.

Zane stood up from his seat ready to fight, but Seraphine didn't move instead she lifted up her hand that healed two beating hearts in it. Zane screeched and roared at Seraphine for what she done along with all the other creatures in his coat.

\”lets revisit that question I asked you before. How many of your hearts can I rip out before you realize you can't touch me? With the first strike I took two, but what about the next?.

\”Your not even fast its that stupid special ability of yours which is the problem\”

\”Oh do you really think I can't kick your ass without it?\”.

Seraphine's words were met with the hungry glare of hundred of beasts inside of Zane's coat. Moments before Seraphine and Zane were about to fight Ragnar stepped in to defuse the situation.

\”That's enough from the both of you everyone in this room is a terrible person that can not be redeemed in anyway. If you under stand that then stop fighting because its almost time for mechanical heart to start and i'm not going to have your fighting get between me and my show\”.

Having Ragnar angrily defuse the situation to save his show killed the mood making both Seraphine and Zane not want to fight.

\”I'm not going to get caught up in someone elses war, so I'm leaving early. But before I go Ragnar I need you to do something since your going to fight in the war\”.

Ragnar a bit suspicious asked \”what is it?\”

Zane replied, \”Say hello to Nester Vargas for me\”.
