82 Chapter 82 (1/2)
”All I feel is warmth running through me.” Aerwyn replied.
”That's what it feels like to use mana, master. Whatever this darkness is, it's like every centimeter is made of pure, infinite energy. It's amazing~” Erit announced in a giddy tone.
”Another thing Tylin failed to inform me of...” As Aerwyn grumbled about Tylin, the bubble-like tendrils snapped along the soul stings causing Aerwyn to release a pained gasp.
”Are you ok, master?” Rin asked with a concerned voice.
”You guys didn't feel that?” Aerwyn asked as the bubble-like tendrils receded, leaving all four souls looking much like his only far smaller.
”...Feel what?”
”Ugh, why is it that I'm the only one that suffers?” Aerwyn groaned in frustration.
”A true ruler bears the sadness and joy of their subjects, master.” Erit haughtily proclaimed.
”If you knew how it felt, you wouldn't be spouting such nonsense, miss 'i want everything'.”
”It's probably because we don't feel pain unless we want to.” Ren chimed in as Erit scoffed defensively.
”Huh? Is that true? I didn't know that... In fact, there's a lot I don't know about. Like what you guys can and can't do...” Aerwyn trailed off as he gazed towards Erit's soul.
”Huh? Why are you staring, master? This little spider is a maiden, such an intense gaze will cause my little knees to buckle in anticipation~.”
”Master! Be nice to Erit. She's a lady!” Rin cried out words that we're undoubtedly learned from spending too much time with Erit.
”She's joking Rin... You're a floating orb. You don't have knees, nor I, eyes. How can you even tell that I'm looking at you?”
”I'd recognize a lus-”
”Um, master? Isn't there a battle going on right now?” Teek interjected before Erit could finish.
”Time is slower in here, that's why all the other souls appear to be frozen. Whatever brought us here isn't finished yet, else we would be able to leave.”
”What other souls?” Ren asked.
”The souls of the other undead and fallen, what do you mean?... Wait, can you not see them?”
”All I can see is our souls and masters. Everything else is shrouded in a sea of darkness.”
”Hmm, I suppose that means you didn't gain the ability to see souls simply by being here. Did you guys feel anything else that might explain why you're here?”
”I feel full! Like I just ate a yummy fat lok all by myself.” Rin happily announced.
”I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant, dumb Rin. That doesn't help us at all.” Ren scolded.
”Don't pick on me, Ren! I'm just trying to help master.”
”Then don't say useless things all the time.”
”Teek, what about you?” Aerwyn asked, ignoring the two bickering brexil cats.
