*snap* the sound of a branch snapping would wake Zinia from her sleep and alerting her, her eyes darted from left to right, ears twitched slightly as the sound of chewing could be heard.
At that moment she realized that Mei was no where to be found, she stood up and walked out to the direction of the sound, more and more she walked the chewing got louder. "Ohh my, ohh my, ohh my… Zinia how have I missed you." A sassy voice came from the source of the sound, "you don't seem to be meeting me again. Why is that? Could you hate me that much." Zinia eyes flashed with annoyens as she looked in front of her.
"Ei… annoying as always but *sigh* I can't get rid of you."
Zinia said clearly annoyed for meeting this figure, lifting a hand and waiving it the surrounding land would transform into a room with a large comfortable, a coffee table with three seats and a long couch.
Someone would hug Zinia from behind.
"Such a nice change of scenery of you Zinia, our old room looks the same as it was before it was burned down" said the figure with the same sassy tone, then snapping its fingers and a mirror appearing in front of them.
Zinia looked at the mirror seeing her reflection where Ei stood behind her hugging her from behind. It was a girl that looked like a copy of her but wearing a white dress and had long flowing red hair, decorated with flowers of different shapes and colors.
Her presence felt like it's shifting each moment and not staying the same. Zinia turned before walking through her body like Ei was a ghost.
"Ei what is it that you want to tell me? A soul can't be heard by its body normally, but you call me here from time to time.* she was clearly unpleasant with talking to Ei who turned out to be her own soul.
Ei would pretend to be sad, by pout before bursting into laughter "hahaha… you're as clueless as ever. I'm not speaking directly to you Zinia…" Eli's white dress would change as she sits in the chair of the coffee table.
*sip* "I'm your own soul I know everything that you don't know about yourself, you're only the consciousness… I'm not you, you are me. Everything you call your own is what I gave you." *Ei would disappear into thin air before appearing again this time laying on the bed, wearing fancy black and purple dress.
"Yet you still hate me, this is your flaw you can't accept yourself, this is why you're weak." *bang* the room would shift and become unstable while Ei just layed on the bed. "You don't know anything about me. I'm not weak I'm the stro-" Zinia snapped but before she could finish. Ei laughed and said in a sassy tone and the smile of a ghost "weak your weak as long as you don't accept the truth you're weak, no matter how much potential you have. You never and will never get to your full potential without me. Even he is stronger despite having no potential"
Zinia snapped back to reality waking up next to the rotting corpse and Mei walking out to the forest.
"Where are you going Mei?" Zinia asked before standing up.
"To get rid of the bishop…" a short clear answer came from the boy as he stopped waiting for her approval. "No stay here I'll deal with it myself… in which direction is the soul essence leading you?" Mei holds his hand up towards the sky and to the north. "Watching eh? Well it might have been nice for it."
"Web of the abyss.. holds to the dark.. it off no longer shine nor does it diminish the light.." the air around Zinia changed getting pulled around her and she raises her hand up as a shape of true darkness that it shine manifested "come fourth web of the abyss, spear of genesis" a lance manifested in her hand as long as six feet taller than her, it looked like it was made of thread only.
Zinia got into the shooting position her footing stable and whole body as steady as stone,aiming at where Mei pointed before launching the lance white such force it made the air shift and the weapon look like it disappeared from her hand.
Five hundred feet away from there the bishop dragon was watching all this in the sky, until it's neck got pierced by the lance and huge gaping hole was created by the small weapon. It immediately started to fall without even being able to let out a rowr as the body started to decay into nothingness.
"Does that look weak Ei" Zinia thought to herself getting frustrated as she recalled her talk with Ei.
"Mei come here" she spoke with a stern tone seemingly frustrated, Mei walked over to her and stood beside her then fell on the ground from a punch to the face. Zinia was taking her frustration out on him by hitting him "take off your suit. Now!" Mei did as he was told taking his shirt off and sitting down on his knees looking away.
The thread of the abyss would manifest in the palm of her hand and create a wipe. *crack* *crack* each time she would wipe his back the wipe would crackle. Mei wouldn't flinch or even make a sound as the flesh of his back would ache and his skin turn a dark shade of blue.
After an hour she would stop finely regaining her composure. "Dress up we're going to continue traveling" she said picking up her bag and distinguishing the campfire, Mei stands up and puts on his shirt before walking over to the corpse and putting the large bag on his back before turning around to follow his elder sister as if nothing had happened.
