As the sun started to creep towards the horizon Aurelian was standing next to the body of the last wolf.
In front of him was a 2 meter diameter sphere contain ten small souls all stained a dark black.
Before starting the final part of the process Aurelian walked back to the camp to sit down and focus.
He gave a look to Vel who was near and looked nervous. nodding back to him understanding that he wanted her to keep gaurd of his body she prepared her mind.
Aurelian back to condense the golden and white shpere until it was only 8 inches. This was to allow his body to adapt and target all of the souls at once.
As the souls moved into Aurelians body and his mind was moved inside his soul signature space. He watched the souls approach the large radiating golden white area with his Signature.
Absorbing the souls his Signature erupted into light. At the same time a powerful surge of warm energy him Aurelian as he watched.
After a minute the light slowly dimmed back to the original form of the signature. However this time it was 30% brighter.
After the 10 wolves emerged from the light revitalized. Seeing his new strengh Aurelian was excited.
He now had a soul strength on par with middle class power lineage signatures for awakened people. For example Mountain god and Forest goddess.
As well as fully surpassing the awakened strength of low level gods like the Fish god and Monkey god. However he didn't know this yet.
Exiting back to the outside he saw Vel cooking a late dinner knowing he'd be hiungry after that.
"Thanks" Aurelian said with a smile.
She looked up, stared at him with no expression on her face then said, "I'm hungry it's not for you." Then turning her head away.
wanting to tease her Aurelian said, "then why didn't you eat earlier, it's almost 10. Also that's like a throes of a wolf you're cooking." Then he approached closer patting her head.
Looking up blushing then turning away. "I'm not a kid, I don't like your patting. Also you're stupid."
Not bothering to respond he kept playing with her hair then said, "I'm going to try and bring out a wolf tomorrow, then after I want to see how beautiful you look at 19."
Nodding then taking of some meat for Aurelian to eat. They sat eating then went to sleep.
...
In the morning, Aurelian vowed to himself that they'd set off tomorrow and leave the ice hole.
'Yes' he thought, I get to finally try out a dungeon once we leave.
Vel told him that here was a dungeon that she passed by on her way to the mountains. That was northwest of there position.
It even had a small town that was with it. It was called Red Ice dungeon. And the town name was similar called Res Ice Town.
Ah it sucks that it's still cold there. 'At least the town is at the edge of the ice land.' Aurelian thought.
Then focus on his task he went inside his soul space and called the leader wolf through his soul signature. About 10 seconds late the wolf came running out from the darkness to aurelians left.
He pet the wolfs back then said, "you ready to go outside boy." Looking at Aurelian the wolf barked then licked his face.
'Ah that's always gross.'
Keeping his hand on the wolf he searched for its soul that was covered in his signature.
Once he had found it. It happened pretty quickly. He moved the small soul into his consciousness body.
The consciousness body was just that his physical body was still in the outside world. So once the wolf's soul was in his consciousness he returned it back to his main body.
Back in his main body he open his eyes and felt the lingering sensation of the wolf's soul ready at any moment to be taken from his body back into the real world.
Moving the soul with the same force he used to bring it in the first time from the outside he dragged it out onto the ice and let go.
Like out of thin air the body of the wolf materialized into it 3 meter long and white furred form.
Vel who watched Aurelian open his eyes a moment ago was startled because she's not able to see a soul yet. Only the glow that happened when he transfers them.
Looking up at the majestic wolf she was in awe because she now knew he could help her.
"Should we name him." Aurelian asked looking towards Vel.
"Eos. How about that? Also his pack will be called Eos' pack." Vel suggested after she started rubbing his fur.
"That's fine with me." Aurelian responded.
continuing, "well I'll bring him back to the inside. Then we'll take you inside."
Enveloping Eos in the signature he had used earlier he took it into his soul space and dropped him off.
Once he returned, Vel was standing where Eos just was bracing herself as if it's going to hurt.
Using the full 3 meter radius this time to fully surround Vels body Aurelian took her soul and her consciousness together inside. This time it took longer around 30 minutes to fully stabilize and move her soul into his soul signature space.
Once inside open his eyes he saw Vel's soul approaching the white golden light. Entering into the middle of it the light burst forth.
A rapid expanse of the golden light. Then another expanse of the pure black light from Vel's soul. Mixing, intertwining rejecting, embracing it was all happening at once.
From where Aurelian stood it looked like a vast war. Millions of people on each side fighting in there own way.
Different power, different lineages and signatures. Until it came to a quick and Decisive end.
Two figures stood in the middle. One golden white. The other black.
They ended there fighting. But that's all Aurelian saw. He couldn't see any of the reasons for war or peace.
When the mixing colors were harmonious at the end. Vel's image descended to the ground revealing itself.
