62 Chapter 62: Securing The Soul. (1/2)
The last of the shadowy figures died, peace was restored to the surrounding area and the only thing that could be heard was the weeping of a little girl.
Within the little house, Baraqiel sized up the hooded stranger that helped him take care of the intruders. The hooded man just stood there staring at Akeno with his forest green eyes,
Baraqiel too stops focusing on him, it was obvious that the hooded man was an ally seeing as he helped him protect his family...tried at least. Baraqiel approached Akeno kneeled before her, he was doing his best to not look at Shuri's body, afraid that the grief would overwhelm him, he would have time to grieve after calming his daughter.
”Akeno...”
”Stay away! It's your fault, they told it was your fault all this happened... because you are a fallen angel...because... I am the daughter of a fallen angel.”
Akeno unleashed al her emotions onto Baraqiel he was stupefied into submission as he couldn't reply and self-guilt started to fester within him as he heard his daughter's accusations.
”Leave me alone and don't ever show your face in front of me again!”
Mythander took this chance while they were both occupied, he stretched out his hand towards Shuri's direction and then made a grasping motion, as his hand formed a claw-like a form a wispy being could be seen caught in it that had a remarkable resemblance to Shuri, only that she was currently sleeping in his palm.
Mythander methodically and carefully weaved a sphere of manna around her as to make sure nothing could harm her and then he created a connection to her soul from his own and used it to share some of his soul energy with her so that she doesn't dissipate.
He then stored her within his own soul. Like this, she would be safe and it would be more convenient as they were sharing a soul connection, keeping up with her energy use as a soul was also very easy as she didn't even use a fraction of the energy Mythander's soul naturally created.
Having finished securing Shuri's soul Mythander lowered his hand just in time as he saw Baraqiel turn around to leave, grief could be seen deep inside of his eyes, bore a stoic face to hide the pain from showing to the outside as he left, passing Mythander in the process.
”Thank you”
Baraqiel said as he passed Mythander before quickly leaving. Now there was only Mythander and a grieving Akeno.
Seeing that Baraqiel has left she turned her face towards Mythander, he joyfully and smiling face was nowhere to be seen, her eyes now red and tears streamed unending from them.
”...”
”...”
They just kept staring at each other neither making a sound. Mythander walked forward until he was in front of Shuri and the Akeno who was still hugging her mother.
