"Thank Lady Parvati..." Aadityapal collapsed on the ground and sighed.
Ashoka turned to Alex, "Brother, what is this about?"
Alex didn't respond directly and instead asked another question, "Ashoka, do you know of any methods a mortal could use to manipulate others through their mannerisms, and even vocal tone?"
Ashoka seemed rather stricken-aback by this unexpected question and pondered a bit over it.
He then gave Alex a rather conclusive reply, "Usually, I would doubt it to be divine aid, but no god under the jurisdiction of Lady Parvati would dare use their powers for these intents, so I believe it to be a spell of an Asura family."
'Asuras?' Alex was unfamiliar with the meaning of it, but the word seemed to roughly mean 'Demigod'.
"Why would an Asura grant such powers to a mortal?" Alex was still a bit puzzled.
Ashoka seemed to have reasoning of his own and stood up.
He leaned on the trunk of a large tree behind him and cleared his throat.
