I know Ampol told me to brace myself for the oncoming pain, this I could never prepare for. It felt as if I was submerged in molten metal and just when it felt like I could pull myself out, someone would dump more on me. I glanced over to see my soul energy and my entire soul was glowing bright white with gold. I could see my soul was expanding some. "Hang on John, we are almost there. There's going to be a final jolt." Ampol relayed. "Finish this!" John screamed. Bracing himself for the worst it all changed. He was no longer submerged in molten metal but was flying on the clouds. He never felt anything as bliss as this, almost as if he were an angel himself. Glancing over at his soul he could see that the orb had changed into a beating heart, allowing Ampol's bright white energy to pump into his soul. "What is this?" John asked. "You ripped your soul for me John, so I allowing my energy to flow into you. You will have all my abilities and power at your disposal. The heart will merge with yours in case of emergency. As you have given me new life I shall grant you with mine." Ampol responded. John decided to concentrate on Doren. John embraced the darkness with his anger, trying to spark a reaction from Doren. Bringing up all his dark memories of pain and loss, his rage flowed freely. Then he realized, he needed to push harder, he began remembering Samantha. John was seeing red and his rage was beyond control. "John, you need to stop. This is burning your soul!" Ampol shouted. John was too far gone, he couldn't hear Ampol's warning. "Doren, either wake up or we all are going to dissapear!" Ampol shouted to Doren's orb. No changes in the orb at all. "Dammit Doren! Wake up and see what he's doing!" Ampol yelled. No changes again. Ampol looked at John's soul and saw the blue turning black, like charred wood.
In an instant there was a flash of black like everything was sucked into the void. All the blackness in John's soul was sucked into the black orb, causing it to expand and reform. John lost his rage and fell to his knees. Looking over at his soul there was a black oval spiraling into itself at his left shoulder. Doren too has evolved. "Unlike Ampol, I can't purify your soul to transform. I needed raw power but you gave me too much to handle. I had to make it cycle back into itself. I apologize for making you go over the edge after you saved us." Doren said sincerely. "It's fine, I'm just glad you're back." John responded. "Yeah about that, what happened? It felt like the energy in me was drained out of me." Doren questioned. "Oh, King Tormen tried his hand at potion brewing. He whipped up a concoction that suppressed demonic energy. Good thing I had Ampol, he never saw the angelic power and when he did it was too late." John responded. "The king betrayed us, what are we going to do about that?" Doren questioned chuckling. "Oh I have an idea but want some input from you." John stated. "Ask away." Doren responded. "What ranking of demonic cities is Neet?" "Neet is in the top 10, when I was alive it was anyways. Recent events kinda make me lose contact." Doren answered. "Do you have anyone in mind to run this city?" John continued his questions. "I have someone in mind but their whereabouts are currently unknown." Doren responded. Several questions later, John had the intel he wanted. "John, I know this state is probably pure bliss, but you need to return to the world." Ampol responded. "Oh, I forgot all about that." John stated. John began pulling himself out of his deep meditation and opened his eyes to the world. It was unbelievable his body was transformed as well. His body was more toned, felt even lighter and his body felt more solid.
John glanced around to cave and noticed the guards staring at him in shock and fear. "Is there something wrong?" John asked. "You were releasing a bloodlust so dense our legs gave out. Just as quick as it hit it was gone and your body began to change. We are just shocked and taken back, excuse our actions." One of the guards stated. "You don't need to fear me, I was having an internal battle and came out on top. You have nothing to apologize for." John responded sincerely. "Change of plans while we're talking, you three need to return to the village and train everyday, I have a personal matter to attend. Advise the King of Bale that I may not return soon and to prepare for the worse." John commanded. "Yes sir." the guards responded. The guards quickly packed up and headed back to Bale without John. "Alright Doren, where's your Queen?" John questioned. "Just follow my power, she will always be pulling me to her." Doren responded happily.
