"Before I died I sent my soul to you" the old man repeated slowly "for you to continue to live we must merge souls, because you have only a mortal soul, it will easily be broken by mine, which would kill you, if we merge, the my power,intelligence, and wisdom will go to you and you have a chance to live, but you must constantly cultivate so your soul doesn't shatter, when you gain enough power on your own, your soul will be stable."
"Mmh" Jack grunted, showing he understood what the old man was saying. "Now to get to your other questions, ones soul (of not mortal) doesn't start off black, as I said everyone gets a choice, those who choose the dark path their soul turns dark and sadly there is no going back."
"Ok then, let's do it then, let's merge" Jack said with a disbelieving humph. "You still don't believe this is real Eh, no matter when you wake up you'll be able to tell the difference, and whenever you have a question, form it in your head and the answer will come to you."
"So how do we do this?"
"Just stick out your hand and shake"
They both reached out their hands. Once they touched instantly Jacks chair started turning white, and the old mans started disappearing.
"Also"the old man said, his voice now distant " if you need help, invoke my name, GRAND MASTER ZIE'. Then everything went white.
