"Hm? Who is speaking?" Asked Alfonso.
"M—m-me sir" Said the trembling voice.
Alfonso looked at the sides but didn't see anything, the voice was almost like a child voice, maybe a ten or twelve years old boy, however, the voice seemed very nervous.
"maybe…" Although it was impossible, he had seen many impossible things so far so he looked at the small python at his side.
"You are the one talking, little fellow?" Asked Alfonso.
The python nodded.
"That-tha-that's right sir, my name is Drakini, is-is-is my pleasure to meet you" Said the python alias Drakini.
"Drakini, nice too meet you, not need to be so formal, my name is Alfonso, Alfonso Lockheart" Said Alfonso while giving a small smile.
Alfonso was actually enjoying this small conversation, after all, he hadn't talk too anyone for days, well apart for the stupid brat (That's how Alfonso is now calling the titan, father of gods, Chronos.).
"Drakini, how come you are here?" Asked Alfonso.
"We-well I was born here, I don't have a lot of memories, went I became conscience, I was already here, the only thing I knew was my name and that I shouldn't get close to the crippled god" Said Drakini.
"The crippled god?" Asked Alfonso.
"Th-th-the god that had one arm and one leg, now tha I see , where is he?" Asked Drakini confused by looking at the sides.
"Oh, him" Said Alfonso while some bitterness.
"He just went to attend some business, he wont come any time soon" Said Alfonso.
"Si-si-sir knows the great god!?" Asked Drakini with admiration.
"Yeah, more that I will like though" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso didn't want to think of the stupid brat so he put his thoughts aside.
"Anyway Drakini, it seems that you were quite hungry" Said Alfonso.
The little python became a little red while lowering its head.
"It-it-its as you say sir, since I was little, I have been eating the essence of the god, however, I can only eat one or two per month since I can't clearly see them I can only perceive them, that's why I usually sleep all the time, however, just a while ago, I woke up because I felt the presence of the essence of the gods coming near me, that's was went I saw you sir, excuse my rudeness" Said Drakini while lowering its head.
"Essence of the god?" Asked Alfonso.
"Ye-ye-yeah, what are you are eating sir it's the essence of the god, in other words, the soul of the god" Said Drakini.
"The soul of Chronos, you gotta be kid-…mmm? Soul…force… wait a minute!" Suddenly Alfonso sat down starling Drakini.
"That's right how did I forget such a value information, all this time, I have neglected an important piece of information, the particle!" Though Alfonso.
"If the particle is part of the soul of Chronos… lets called it soul energy… if the soul energy it's the one rotating, then the only possible force that could interact with soul energy its soul force! However, what is soul force? Well, lets put it in this way, lets assume that the soul energy it's a lake, this lake it's connected to an ocean, however, if it wants to move, then they need a 'route' right? That's went the soul force enter in action, the soul force it's the bridge between the soul force and the 'sun of time', of course, the bridge works in both ways" Though Alfonso.
"okay let's assume that, then lets make an hypothesis, I have been eating the soul energy of Chronos however, there is a limit of how much I can absorb, why is that? That is because I can't see the particles, I can only see them if my left eye is open, this is the key word, open, why I am seeing? I am seeing the soul world with my eye left? Usually the soul energy cant be seen, however, my left eye let me see it, in other words, my left eye is the connection between me and the soul world, after I closed it, the connection is cut and I can enter the soul world anymore… Okay, then, what if… I could perceived the soul world without opening my eye? Can I do it?" Though Alfonso.
He tried to remember the connections between him and the soul world.
"I have been interacting with the soul world since I came to this world…yes… I have! But I didn't notice… shadowless…mark of the hunter… this abilities are connected to the soul world but, I didn't have the necessity to know about the soul world because I only needed the system to make use of them, however… this time the legacy of Chronos isn't part of the system, so I cant just use it, I need to learn it on my own. Okay lets first use my abilities, Mark of the hunter!" Said Alfonso while using the ability of Artemis, mark of the hunter on Drakini.
This time however, he didn't just let the marks appear, he tried to felt the process. Alfonso was fascinated.
Alfonso felt that red particles were suddenly merging in his eye, the red particles were really similar at the green particles, the particles however, didn't move, after they assemble in his eyes, Alfonso felt it for the first time.
"My soul energy!"
Alfonso felt his soul energy, suddenly connecting the red particles with something, then the particles started to move, just like the green ones, in a parabolical orbit, what was amazing is that all of the particles were moving at the same time, after the particles agglomerate on Alfonso's eyes, the red spots appeared on Drakini's body, the ability was complete.
"Fascinating" Said Alfonso.
Drakini was a little confused since he didn't know what was he has been doing since a while ago. Alfonso disactivated mark of the hunter.
"I can feel my soul energy"
Alfonso could felt his soul energy, it was a white like he was covered in a white mantle, Alfonso had to concentrate really hard to felt his soul energy, he also noticed that the white mantle wasn't completely white, so parts were green.
"Maybe its because I have been absorbing part of Chronos's soul?" Though Alfonso.
Suddenly, the hungry became more intense, Alfonso tried to felt the particles, however, even with all he has done, he couldn't felt the soul energy of Chronos.
Alfonso was a little frustrated, however, the hungry was intense so he opened his green eye and saw the green particles floating, however, this time, the particles were doing something courius, they seemed to be attracted towards Alfonso, until now the particles just floated there moving on its own, however, this time , the particles were slowly moving towards Alfonso, he opened his mouth and the particles entered by their own, Alfonso felt satisfied, just as he was about to close his eye, he remember something and grabbed a couple of particles, after that, he closed his eye.
"Heard you go Drakini" Said Alfonso while giving five particles to Drakini.
"Si-si-sir, Are you sure!? Said Drakini while drooling.
"Just grabbed them, you have help me a lot, thanks" Said Alfonso.
Drakini happily eat them, and the both of them, man and snake, laid down on the sand while touching their stomachs.
"Chronos said that a portal will open on its own went I comprehend the concept of stagnation, but I don't really know what he meant by that" Though Alfonso.
"Drakini, ready for another round?" Asked Alfonso after some time.
"Can-can-can I have more?" Asked Drakini with enthusiasm.
"Sure, just keep me company" Said Alfonso with a soft smile.
After that, both snake and human began their "banquet" .
