Chereads / Evanescent Descent / Chapter 15 - Getting Ready

Chapter 15 - Getting Ready

(Seer POV)

Vanessa- Come here, sweetie. I have something to tell you. You will have to fight the strongest vampires alive right now 5 days from now. In other words, you have to fight the 5 heads of vampire houses that rule this land.

Seer- huh?? What??? YOU'RE TELLING ME TO FIGHT THE STRONGEST VAMPIRES IN ONLY 5 DAYS. WHY ARE YOU INSANE!!!

Vanessa- Fuu Fuu fuu you can do it, I believe in you, little sweetie. They will be using 20% of their power and no blood effects.

I don't know how strong they but I don't feel confident about fighting them.

Well, I guess the rest of the time is going into training.

I look at Vanessa with one eyebrow up and questioning eyes

Seer- why do I have to do this?

Vanessa- Well since I am one of the 5 households that rule over vampires, there will be a backlash if bringing in a human. If you are strong people will disregard it and from what I can tell you are strong.

Seer- OK sure (I start grumbling to myself) "I don't want to do it is what it is I guess".

Time to train I guess.

I got to grab Angelica and take her with me to go train

Angelica- Boohoo you forgot about me for a couple of days and started flirting with one of your mom's friends.

Seer- I am not flirting with her!! She is just taking care of us and I am trying to pay her back!

Angelica and Seer- HAHAh, pffuttt

Seer- OK ok, I am sorry, looks like we are in a better mood than when we escaped.

Angelica- I see you have a different energy than I know. Your body is also stronger.

Angelica- So when you are training the first thing you need to do is get used to the newfound strength and make sure you are getting your timings correct. Go over your basic swing for the next two days then, continue to practice the sword-style protea's bloom.

Seer- Yes sis, I one hundred percent agree with you. Also, do you think you can be my partner for the upcoming fight?

Angelica- Depends do you want to make a contract?

Seer- Do you even have to ask that question, I value you I would love to have a contract with you. My eyes gleam with happiness and anticipation.

Angelica- Ok "little bro" you better treat me right.

Seer- (I can hear her giggle after saying "little bro") I will make sure to treat you right milady, I say while bowing my head.

Angelica- fuffufu, I didn't know you were a little jokester, It is much better seeing you like this than before, with my help I can teach you all of the techniques and help you with your swordsmanship in general. I will not always be there so don't really on me too much ok?

Seer- So how does this contract work?

Angelica- We decide on the terms and rules we both abide by, for example, don't purposely hurt me and take proper care of me like cleaning my blade, sharpening my blade, giving me food if I want some, you know stuff like that.

Seer- Aren't all the things you listed more of a common courtesy and not something you need to put in the rules?

Angelica- Well not everyone thinks like you and some people don't like having to do stuff like that. Well enough of this do you agree to these terms and conditions?

Seer- I do agree with all these terms and conditions.

Light swirls around them as a small piece (as small as a marble) mixes with Angelica's spirit and vice versa.

Angelica- Now we are both bound by soul so when you are alive we both have to follow the terms and conditions we set for each other, so that means if you don't treat me like a normal woman, or you don't clean me periodically, you will die because you broke your terms and conditions.

Seer- Ok I understand that part but that does explain the "whoosh whoosh shwing shwing" thing that just happened.

Angelica- Really "whoosh whoosh shwing shwing" you couldn't have said it normally.

Seer- No it is just simpler that way

Angelica- (rolls her eyes), anyways time for you to adjust to your new body.

I start by taking some practice swings and gradually increase the strength until I have good strength but not strong enough so I can't recover from dodges or parries.

As the day goes on Angelica helps me improve on the small things like testing my limit, reflex, and using her powers.

So far I can tell getting used to her powers will be another journey and a half. I do appreciate her for doing this but I am just saying it will take some time to fully grasp her potential.

In a flash, the five days I have to prepare are ending to a close, just finishing up the last of my practice before heading to the stadium.

Seer- So Vanessa, why are we heading to a stadium?

Vanessa- It is more convenient for the heads and for the people who would be watching.

Seer- PEOPLE will be watching? AAHhh I can't fight while people are watching me, What am I supposed to do, I don't want to look bad.

Vanessa- Calm down it will be alright, take some deep breaths, in and out just like that.

Seer- (inhales and exhales inhales and exhales) hooh that is better, but why didn't you try to persuade them not to do this publicly?

Vanessa- Sweetie I tried but they all wouldn't let this one go. Also, before you fight I have something to do with you. I will explain the rules and show you where you will wait until they announce your name, of course not your real name but you will know when to walk in.

Seer- So you will talk me through this when we get there?

Vanessa- Yes I will, we also have a barrier for you it blocks attacks and blocks your scent so you don't have to lather a bunch of perfume on. Remember vampires all have different tastes and if people smell you they might want a taste of you and that is a no no. I can't have them do that(That will only be for me to smell).
