“Sion, you have accomplished. what shouldn’t be able to be done. You can now exist in both realms. The one of the living and of the dead. You will stand as Anubis in the spirit realm and among the living you will be a lupine.”
I growled at him, baring my teeth. going to keep me in the spirit realm?! You were?
“I was under good authority that you would be able to exist in both realms… though I haven’t seen it happen for those who aren’t gods. It wasn’t worth worrying you about… you didn’t have a choice anyways. Either you would or you wouldn’t.” I watched as his l!ps curled upwards. “Of course, I see you had some help…” He cleared his throat and looked in the distance. “We will discuss that later.
For now, let’s see what you can do. Can you do your job effectively here? It would be easier on the other side. In time, you should be able to master moving between the two realms seamlessly. That is, of course, if you…” He shook his head and took in a sharp breath of air. “Over there is a grudgeful spirit.
I was angry but I kept it all hidden inside of me.
I didn’t like the idea that I had just been played with.
I was told I could live again and be with Clover.
Now, it turns out that was only true if I managed to exist in both realms. I needed to know more. I died and this is now my price to pay.
I turned and stared at the gray-looking child. As I did, the world around the kid began to flicker. In the realm of the living, it looked like a child but in the dark spirit realm, it was a shadowy monster. A sense of ill will and resentment began to wash through me.
“You feel it, Sion? The malice being projected. This child drowned in the river. He refused to journey with me so that he could see his mother once again. He waited for them to pay their respects.. they never came. And this is what he turned into. A spirit that tries to drown anyone who goes for a swim.”
So why not take care of it? I mentally growled at him.
“Because that is not my job. I don’t collect the vengeful spirits. I only take the willing.” He turned and looked at me. “Dealing with the rest is your job.
So, what am I supposed to do?
“That is up to you. You can either destroy him or save him IF you can…”
Destroy him? You mean obliterate his soul? No.. he was just a child. He was-
“He isn’t anymore. He has killed and will kill again. You can see the beast beyond the child.” I leaned forward so that I was on all fours instead of two feet. It still felt more natural this way.
Plus, I would be faster. I eyed up the child and shook my head. How can I save him?
“If… That is an if. You’ll have to beat the spirit to submission. Make him let go of his grudge. If he refuses, you have no choice but to destroy it or it will destroy you. And if it succeeds, it will eat your soul”
I know the safest option would be for me to catch it off guard and kill it. That isn’t who I was though. The child was innocent and became corrupt. I wouldn’t feel right unless I did everything I could. I took a few steps towards the child and then heard Reapus’ voice.
“Oh, and Sion..”
I turned and looked at him.
“You’ll need to use that dark power you are fearing.”
His voice dropped and he looked at me with a stone face expression.
Another trick?
“None of it was ever a trick and neither is this. You can’t win without it. Sion.. I didn’t kill you. Remember that. I gave you a chance to live again.”
His voice was hard and bitter as he spat those words out. “You stand here because of me.”
I am under no one’s command but my own! growled at him, and a faint smile reached his l!ps.
“That isn’t true though… is it?” I watched as his Iips curled up more. “You are under her command. Always..
Did he think that would upset me? I will openly admit it. For her, I will do anything. I don’t care who thinks it is wrong for an alpha to submit to his mate. I love her above all.
“I’m glad there is someone who can put you on a leash.” There was more in his tone than I cared to explore. It seemed that there was a weight there.. another burden.
I turned away from Reapus and walked towards the kid. I needed to end this as fast as I could so I could get to Clover. I was still worried about her.
Was she okay? What happened when she was taken? Did she meet up with the others? As l approached, the child lifted his head. The little boys’ eyes connected with mine. At the same time, the world flickered, and I could see the red eyes of his beast. A guttural growl crept from the boy.
The child stood to face me. It knew. The body of the child morphed in and out between beast and child.
“l forgot to mention…” I heard Reapus yell. “No soul collector has ever been able to purify a tainted spirit.”
I know it was a warning for me to just destroy the spirit. If no one has done it before, then I would just have to be the first. I felt the energy building up inside of me, answering the threat that was growing. I took a threatening step forward and the grudgeful spirit froze. It looked like it was contemplating its next move.
At least.. that is what I thought. Suddenly it lashed out. Its body whipped energy in the shape of a claw towards me. I managed to roll out of the way and back to my feet. The darkness inside of me began to seep out. Wisps of darkness protruded from me in response to the attack. As if it was insulted.
I dug my feet in the ground and sprinted towards the spirit. Like talons, the energy around me slashed at the monster. My own claws met with him. Upon impact, cold dread crept inside of me.
The spirit’s feelings beginning to project into me.
The dark energy began to wrap around the spirit, strangling the life out of him. It was trying to eradicate his existence.
I jumped back. This wasn’t what I wanted to do.
