Chapter 7 - night embrace

Only moon light fears not the night, as it invades lands, because it is night which birth it and it's the shadows that guide her. Only moonlight adorned Saito room keeping darkness out. Too bad night is going away and along with it's moonlight too must say goodbye.

jack walks into saito room looks at him and with a quite voice to prevent saito from jumping up scares calls him "master wake up it's time"

" mm oh jack yeah I'm awake, could you please turn on the light please so I can get ready" answer back Saito with a half sleep mood.

at the last comment jack remains silent looking for the best words to not hurt saito mood but his is bestest by saito next words.

" sorry jack I forgot, I'm just not use to being blind every time I wake up I look for the light"

" ok I'm going to practice astral form let's hope my hypothesis is correct I really need more helpers." saito moves to the balcony with the help of jack and sits in a yoga position and starts to relax his body.

' how do I detached my self from this world, think, ok most master state that one must create a dot on our minds and just focus on that dot and try to ignore everything else.'

And so he did since only darkness is what he could see he creates a white dot in the center of darkness with out loosing any concentration.

" master "

" ahh jack, didn't I told not to distracted me while practicing" answer saito feeling dissatisfied since he was feeling some sort of energy entering his brain but the feeling was too small to replicate.

" master it's already night and you skip breakfast, lunch, and almost dinner I didn't want you to get sick so I had to woke you up master".

" wait night I thought only couple of hours had passed, I think it effective but I'm probably going to need more time to actually feel something" thinking for a while saito stands up lift his right hand " jack could you guide me to dinner table"

This was the routine that saito would follow eat, sleep, and cultivate. While saito cultivated jack continue to fix the castle, the walls were painted, the window fix, and all of the broken furniture that could not be fix was remove. After two months, of fixing and cultivating the changes became apparent. The castle no longer look like a murder place, instead it look classic, and gothic. The castle was only missing a couple of gargoyles give that vibe. if saito could see the castle he would question jack if he was planning this look all along. inside the castle was no different, old furniture decorate every room, old Knight armors guarded the entrance to the hall and the throne room and chandelier lighted the hall. the people of this realm would use spirit stones to light the night, but jack decide to use candle to continue with the spooky vibe, since neither him or saito needed light to move around.

Saito in the other hand was happy finally, he made an advancement on soul power. after two months of hard work he finally open his third eye with it could be able to project his astral form. with his third eye open he was able to see some form of objects but only a meter away and for a few seconds. He was correct the only way recuperate and expand soul power it was to keep the astral form for as long as possible which for saito now was only ten minutes a day. However, that was enough to have enough soul power to do one more golem.

' whom should I create, I need a head maid but powerful and also a monster to keep everyone away from me' thought saito as he was seated on a sofa . ' Lilith she was thought to be the first human demon, ex -wife to Adam and ancient goddess to the Sumerian, but she did had that eating kids problem, mmmm, who else' continue saito ' I know Metis, she was turn into a fly by Zeus for fear of his future son and daughter, however she was know for her wisdom and for being a trickster that only Prometheus could match but not beat. I need wisdom and someone to fool my enemies but not get fool so I will called you Metis.' Saito reaches for his necklace and pulls one of the Mana cores, moves on drop some blood on it, and release his soul power into the Mana engrave core. ' think create the best image and take my desire wisdom come , feeling his soul been drain like before saito yells " Metis come I choose you" and saito passed out.

"mas.... mas.......master ..... master are you ok" saito starts to move his head trying to get up only to be push back down and force to lay his head of two soft tight of a women.

" master how are you feeling" ask a women with a worry voice

" I'm okay I just use too much soul power, so you must be Metis, can I see you " ask saito with a tired face.

" yes master you can see my image, but I'm not the Metis from your world, I'm just a golem create on the image of Metis sorry master"

" it's ok don't worry" reassure saito.

Metis moved her hand to saito head and just like jack she closer eyes sending a image of her to saito.

saito again so image of the person that invaded his darkness, but this time it was a women or sort of. she was 5' 7" black curly hair like those from Greece falled down to her hips, nothing was wrong from her legs, all the way to her torso until you get to her upper back. Where wings like that of a fly rested on her back, her head look normal except for her eyes, three pairs of eyes each moving horizontal in a 65 degree incline could be seen, all of her eyes had what look like a constellation of bright stars. by looking at her eyes you get the feeling that you are looking on the eyes of a ancient Titan that knows everything that has, is, and will happen.

" am I beautiful" ask Metis with a shy voice

" yes " answer saito subconsciously however after understanding what he try to hide his face deeper on Metis tight only to cause another embarrassing moment.

"master to bed or you won't be allowed to cultivate for a month" said jack while staring at saito, then he moved his eye sight from saito to Metis and continue, " Metis do not spoil the master, he needs to sleep to recuperate, you wouldnt want to be responsible if anything goes wrong Metis" finish jack with a icy tone.

" enough I have to go to rest and today I do feel more tire so I take my leave" answer saito with a commanding tone as he gets up. then he moves to the edge of the sofa and starts counting as he move through the hall stops at the door and moves counting again in another direction as he exit the hall.

Saito enters his room and moves to his bed where he undressed, and enters his bed. he doesn't know why today it feels different, it always does at some point of the month it would just feel cold, like if he was missing someone dear to him. He just couldn't understand who. tiredness took over and he falls sleep, inside and outside darkness prevail, as tonight no moonlight decided to not come. Tonight darkness covers the lands and embrace saito as he sleep hoping to bring a good night dream.
