I touched the book and immediately a bright red light appeared. I used my hands to block the red light. "Master, I missed you," a deep voice muttered. Scarlett smiled and flew over to him. The red light resided and I saw standing in front of me was a turquoise serpent. This serpent changed forms and he appeared in front of me in his human form. He had turquoise hair and dark black eyes. He seemed to be wearing very old-fashioned clothes. As I was looking at me, I could tell he was judging me as well.
"Xiuhcoatl I missed you too," she smiled weakly. "Master why are you so weak," he asked. "It's because I used too much energy to return. To be precise, my return is going against the wishes of the higher Gods. Unlike me everyone wants Skylar to return. I refuse to listen to what their plan is for me. So I used some forbidden powers to return to the Theodo kingdom. Using forbidden magic is gonna affect my body, hence I'm quite weak right now," she explained. She didn't tell me about this...
"Wait why does the Gods want Skylar to return?" Xiuhcoat asked. "Because Casimir Akuma is going to return. The higher Gods have made it so that Skylar will rebirth in the hope that she can stop Casimir. I never understood their relationship but I believed that Casimir had something for her. During the big war, he willingly lets himself be sealed by Skylar," she explained.
"Wait so who is Casimir Akuma?" I asked. "A devil. Someone who will ruin Theodo kingdom if he returns. Killing and sealing Casimir Akuma is the only thing Skylar and I agreed on," she explained. This explanation was kinda useless. It was as if she said something but didn't explain. But I suppose I can look into it myself.
"Master, would you help Skylar?" asked Xiuhcoatl. She scoffed and uttered, "Of course I won't. This time Skylar returns it because she needs to kill Casimir forever not just seal him. The Gods allowed Skylar to return and not me. They believed that without me Skylar could kill him herself. So, of course, I won't help her. Skylar already knows I have returned, we all have returned,".
She looked at me and stated, "Relax if we find all of my soul beats I will still be able to send you home,". I suppose this is one of the reasons I was worried about her. But there is some sort of friendship between me and Scarlett. I mean she spends 24/7 with me. It's hard to not have any sort of friendship. "I was worried for you," I mumbled. She looked at me and mouthed, "Sure,".
"Master, how can I help you?" Xiuhcoatl asked. "Can you please give me back the magic I left with you?" she asked. "Sure, but if I do that I will disappear. I won't be able to help you anymore," he mumbled. "If you make a contract with Eveline and then give me my powers back then you won't disappear," explained Scarlett. "What's your relationship with Eveline?" Xiuhcoatl asked. "She is my reincarnate," Scarlett explained. To be honest I still don't think I am but whatever makes her happy I guess. As long as she's happy.
"To create a contract you need to drop some blood on Xiuhcoatl's scales," muttered Scarlett. I bit my fingers and some blood came spilling out. I never knew it would be this easy to make myself bleed. I dropped some blood onto Xiuhcoatl's scales that he ripped out. Immediately a red light glowed around us. As the red light glowed I could feel a connection happened between the two of us. It was quite a weird connection.
"Now that it's done let me give you your powers back," announced Xiuhcoatl as Scarlett nodded. Xiuhcoatl proceeded to give Scarlett her powers back. The scene reminded me of a Chinese martial arts movie when they passed mana onto each other. It was quite funny and weird.
As soon as Xiuhcoatl finished giving Scarlett her powers back I seemed to have absorbed him into my body. As soon as he entered my body I saw that my index finger on my right hand had a serpent tattoo. It looked so cool. "Each tattoo represents a soul beast. We have 7 more to go," stated Scarlett as I nodded. I noticed that she looked much better. She looked as if she had more magic than from the moment we first met.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked as she nodded. "I'm glad you are," I stated. She raised her eyebrows but she didn't say anything to retort me. I suppose she could tell that I was somewhat worried for her.
"Right if you ever need Xiuhcoatl just call his name three times. His magic power is invisibility," explained Scarlett as I noted that in my mind. We passed through the door the same we entered it. I crept back into my room and went back to sleep.
