Chapter 10 Soul Puppet 1 (1/2)

”How did you know that they would follow me?” Lenia's voice was wavering, she had after all just witnessed her master end the lives of three men in mere seconds.

Although she didn't want to feel fear for the one who created her, her voice nonetheless was still shaky. She couldn't tell what he was thinking especially as his face was now covered in cloth. There was so much she had yet to understand but for the first time she felt slightly anxious towards the unknown.

”I was watching you.”

Lenia looked inquisitively at her master. She didn't understand what he meant by saying that?

'Was he following me without me knowing it? She asked herself.'

”I don't understand….”

She wanted to say more but couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. The walls of the small room felt like they were enclosing her within their suffocating embrace. Her very soul seemed to beat to the drum of her overworked heart. It was as if her entire being would burst from her chest. That was the power of the ability that her master had used, 'Banshee's Wail.'

”Yes, it would be confusing to you. I was watching you, although not physically but with my soul. It is an ability I possess, 'Astral Projection.' With it I can propel my soul out of my body and observe the physical realm through your senses.”

'Such an ability, wait does that mean he could see everything I did!?'

She suddenly became very nervous and she struggled to keep her embarrassment in check.

”Master, were you able to see everything?”

'I really hope not! How embarrassing! Did I do anything to bring him shame? I didn't get lost and followed his directions perfectly but I was followed so easily...'

”Yes, I saw everything. I was with you the entire way.”

Lenia's face turned almost beet red at his response. She could no longer keep her embarrassment from creeping up to her face. She could barely bring herself to look at her master.

'Is he disappointed with me?'

The young woman immediately got down on her knees and bowed, hoping he would be merciful but her master only seemed to look at her with confusion.

”Please master, please forgive me. This shame I have brought upon you is unbearable! If my life will wash this stain from me then take it, I beg of you!”

Lenia began to hysterically beg, not to keep her life but just for his forgiveness. Her master tried to speak but couldn't get a word in. He didn't quite understand the reasons for her hysterical breakdown and was a little out of sorts that she would so quickly offer her life.

”Enough!”

Without being given a chance to speak, he finally yelled at her over her words which caused her to shrink back in fear while still prostrating herself.

”Lenia, stand up, there is no need for you to beg for forgiveness on the floor and don't ever offer your life up like that again! You did nothing wrong. All was according to my plans. Even that bracelet you found was taken into consideration. I knew very well you were hiding it from me and what it meant. I allowed you to carry it with you to the marketplace and I watched every one of your actions.”

His words seemed to have calmed her down enough that she could now stand.

”You aren't angry with me?”

He derisively snorted at her ridiculous antics but stopped himself and remembered that she was still developing. Her ignorance was understandable.

”I am not angry with you Lenia, you have done exactly as I hoped you would. You brought these men to me.”

She wished he would explain more because she had no idea what was going on. However, not wanting to look the fool she kept her mouth closed. If her master wished to explain himself he would and if not, then she must do the best she could to understand his plans.

”Watch and learn.”
