faes felt a pull on her soul and her energy which was drained began getting filled again.
she felt her soul into her sea of consciousness and then another presence. a warm presence that decreased the pain.
faes opened her eyes and found herself in her sea of consciousness on her floating purple platform and then saw what was happening. the platform that was covered with stars was being covered with a purple black fire that was slowly eating it up, but there was her purple blue fire that was fighting the evil fire stopping it from advancing.
near her platform was a white platform on which was kai smiling at her though his platform was burning with a white flame.
"what is this? what is going on?" faes asked when she noticed the red golden thread binding her and kai together.
"this is the true form of compensation. you are fighting it currently and sealing it within yourself to convert it into one of your powers; as for this red thread, it is red string of fate. the prophecy the world knows is slightly altered, the real prophecy states that the person who was like me, transmigrated to save the world and shares the other part of me would be awakened and together the two would save the world making it one again.
you are my soulmate.
the other method i told you about is to tame the compensation, though it would test you from time to time it would also provide you with the power that no one can ever imagine. follow me and be one with that thing." kai spoke
faes could understand and feel kai, she knew what he was doing and copied him soon the red black fire turned completely black, it began eating at her purple fire mixing with it turning darker until it covered the complete purple platform she was on.
the black fire turned the platform black and then entered her soul strengthening it.
faes finally understood what kai was speaking about as she felt the black fire strengthening not only her soul but her body too, burning it and regrowing it into a new form. she finally let go allowing the black fire to consume her body though in her supervision.
....
the stone table that was originally white began glowing but the glow slowly turned black making others wonder if something went wrong.
"what is happening?" blake asked as the whole stone turned black except the array carved on the stone table which was glowing purple and white.
"please be safe sister faes!" sky could feel faes life and felt it growing stronger slowly but changing at the same time.
"sister faes!" sky gasped as she felt their bond which allowed her to share faes intense emotions and senses joining their lives together, weakening.
"what is wrong?" alicia asked worried but sky didn't reply she closed her eyes and focused on their bond.
the bond which had weakened seem to change, it did not change in activity then it meant that faes was the one who changed.
though the bond sky felt the life force of faes which had weakened turn stronger than before and finally relaxed. their bond turned into a thick thread and finally she felt faes again properly.
"sister faes!" sky exclaimed through the bond and faes sent her reassurance in return telling her that she was fine and would be out soon.
"she is fine" sky opened her eyes and smiled at the glowing stone as it began cracking and opening up.
faes who was inside the stone table covered in a liquid originally was now laying in an empty place the liquid had turned solid sticking to her body and giving her a evil look.
"faes!"
faes opened her eyes and glanced around at everyone before smiling
"I'm fine, though a bath would sound great at this time"
but others didn't smile except sky who jumped around the table looking at faes excitedly from all directions.
the cause of their silence was faes, naturally.
her black hair was same, even her eyes were the same gray they used to be. but her pale skin had turned paler and clearer, covered with some black runes on her neck right below her face, on her wrists, waist and ankles. there was also some glowing single runes on her gallabela, and on either side of her eyes giving her a devilish look.
not to mention the strange mark was still present over her heart with mystic fog castle and the blood stone which was currently visible despite nightlight hanging from her neck, her watch and rings which were still over her body were also shining brightly.
at that time kai appeared, he was different from before though, he was like the time faes and sky first met him, transparent with a bluish white glow surrounding him, though this time there were various white runes all over his body similar to faes.
"faes, i won't be able to stay in mystic fog castle for a time, you need to hurry and find another one of the fragments. until then you know where to find me" kai spoke in a grave tone and kissed faes on her lips lightly;
faes nodded in understanding before kai vanished.
"what was that? what happened to lord kailial?" augustus finally came out of his shock seeing kai vanish
"kai you all met was just one of his soul fragments" faes spoke as she climbed out of the stone table and smiled.
"let me bath first, then i would take you out of mystic fog castle. it's almost time for the servants to make a choice anyways" faes grinned as she went into the bathroom leaving everyone stunned and wondering what happened to faes.
"there is nothing wrong with sister faes, it's just that she would be needing blood soon" sky grinned as she clapped her hands together "good thing there are a bunch of humans ready for slaughter!"
