147 Dyons Back 3 (1/2)
With that, Ri began helping Dyon understand his soul manifestation. It wasn't that Dyon couldn't do this alone, it was just that he felt at ease bouncing his ideas off of Ri like they had done the first time they met.
He felt like a weight had been lifted off of his heart. Although the death of Ms. Everdeen still hurt him deeply, and he still hated himself for allowing the orphans to go through what they went through, Dyon had only allowed himself to sink that deeply into a depressed state for a clear purpose. With that purpose fulfilled, he immediately pulled himself out… whether it was by will, or thinking of his close friends like Ri, or his love with Madeleine.
If Dyon was one to so easily fall into a depression, he would have long since given up. He was practically raised by his mother because his father spent so much time away from home. In fact, all Dyon knew about his dad was that he was an unyielding man… one who put duty above almost everything else. So, when Dyon lost his mother, he already felt lost. And yet, his dad was there to instill an iron will in him. An iron will that stayed even after even his dad left him too…
Dyon fought through adversity… it wasn't that he believed he could never truly slip into a state like that… but, he felt that, at least for now, he could fight it off. He could smile. He could make those around him feel better. And then, he could get revenge.
Suddenly, Ri's voice snapped him out of his stupor, ”I have a feeling that your manifestation is pretty straight forward… well, your pagoda at least.”
Dyon nodded, ”I originally thought I learned sword will so quickly because my manifestation would be a sword…”
”right, but instead, your manifestation is a literal weapon's hall… I doubt there's a weapon that exists you can't learn quickly…” Ri's voice held a faint amount of jealousy. This manifestation was truly too good, and yet she still hadn't gotten hers yet.
Dyon, sensing Ri's mood comforted her, ”what's the use in learning so many weapons? I can only use one at a time anyway.”
Ri flicked his forehead, ”idiot. Don't say stupid things to comfort me. I know you must already be aware of how important this could be.
Weapon's aren't limited to offensive types… well, more accurately, a weapon's hall isn't limited to offensive type items.”
Dyon nodded as Ri continued.
”you have access to shields, and support weapons as well. In fact, I'm getting the faint feeling that what you manifest from your weapon's hall is based on your imagination rather than the restriction of your manifestation… truly unfair…” Ri pouted.
Dyon rubbed her head, ”don't be like that, I may not know much, but I do know that if you're still struggling with your manifestation even with the pill I gave you… your manifestation might surpass mine.”
Ri waved Dyon's hand away, ”yea, yea, yea.”
”in addition to supporting your understanding of weapons, it seems like your pagoda actually manifests weapons depending on your soul level too.”
With a wave of his hand, Dyon's humanoid manifestation disappeared and a white light charged out of the pagodas door and into his hand.
