Chapter 22 - Chapter 21

I sighed, now I had to diagnose the problem. Was it the vessel?

Would it be possible if I Use my soul as the vessel?

Would that be strong enough to handle the energy?

Or would I Need a more flexible vessel?

It's akin to how fishes adapted to higher pressures at the bottom of the sea. Their bodies were lighter, boneless compared to their neighbors in the top of the sea.

A lighter vessel?

"Hey what are you up to?" A girlish voice surprised me!

"Ahh!" I cried out!I I looked around, she's directly behind me! I sneakily hid the evidence away, "W-What do you want!"

I took a closer look at her. She was Jewish with chocolate brown hazel eyes, and curly flowing black hair, she had a tad baby fat on her cheeks and eyes that seemed to hunger with curiosity.

Her cheeks were lined with tiny freckles that tipped across her nose "Who are you?" she asked back, "and what are you up to! I asked first!" She pointed at me, she looked a year older than me.

"I'm not telling you unless you tell me what you're doing here first"

A frown showed on her face, "You're weird and no fun"

I can't believe this! I forgot! It's impossible to negotiate with a child.

"M-My name is Uriel" I started out,

Her lips cracked into a pleasant smile. "My name is Julia, What are you doing here?"

"I came out here to walk"

"I'm here to play a game!" she responded, "Want to play with me?"

"N-No thanks , I'm busy right now"

A pouty frown appeared on her face again. Her eyes drooped, her eyebrows furrowed and a few wrinkles can be seen on the bridge of her slightly tanned skin.

"What are you busy about?"

"Why are you so curious' I asked her back

"I just am!" her smile was as fervent as the summer sun, "Actually I need help from you! If you're not super super busy I heard something that got my interest.::

She paused and her eyes suddenly had the predatory fervor of a panther about to pounce on their prey. That hidden intent that a Panther reveals right before springing. "I heard a few words! Grahthul Sathul Something? What does it mean!"

Wait, something is up! I felt it in my bones! I had to stay safe here, I closed my eyes, and began to peek into her consciousness.
