START OF VOL 9: THE WAR
-----
When Sol came back to his sense, the first sensation that he felt was dampness and wetness.
‘Where am I?’
Opening his eyes, he looked around and realized that he was in fact in a bath.
‘As large as always.’
Joking inwardly, he tried to move but felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Don’t move.”
He recognized the voice,
“Kiyohime?”
“Indeed. It seems like after you formed the contract, you fainted and your temperature was rising greatly. The little phoenix called me to help you. She was quite shaken.”
“Hey!”
Isis, who stood on the side while covered by a simple camisole clearly couldn’t take the embarrassment. She already bathed and wiped away all traces of semen or love juice from her body.
“Oh hush, no need to be shy girl. Anyway, Sol how do you feel?”
Nent scolded lightly Isis because of her outburst and focused on the problem at hand. This wasn’t the first time she saw a human form a contract with a magical being. In fact, she had observed many humans doing so. Her old friends were humans after all.
This was why she knew.
There was no gain without pain.
“You know this isn’t the end, right?”
Sol nodded, his mind was still hazy but he knew that his situation was far from over. He didn’t need Castitas to give him such information to infer it himself. After all, he was already used to such situations.
“Why put me in a hot bath?”
He asked with difficulty but seeing the bitter smile on Kiyohime face he understood what happened.
“The water was cold initially. Freezing in fact. But your temperature melted the ice. Soon, your internal temperature might surpass what your body can handle.”
Sol sighed. He could indeed feel his blood boiling and his heartbeat was going crazy. Clearly, the powers he received were slowly fusing with his body. Once he reached the tipping point...
‘Such a pain.’
“Will he be alright?”
Kiyohime frowned a little when she saw how the water was reacting. There was a limit to what she could do in this situation.
Like Nent, Kiyohime had also seen humans forming contracts, with elves of spirits during the war, so she knew that some pain could happen when getting a specially unique power. But this time it seemed quite exaggerated.
“Well. The pain is proportional to the number of gift and the power received. Nirvana is the strongest skill of us Phoenix and in fact, a skill that only us possess, personally bestowed by the goddess. Sol body is trying to adjust to the power of a phoenix and the process will not be pretty.”
On the side, Isis could only give a nod with a grim expression. She could see more. In the soul of Sol, three motes of light, each of them with different sizes, were slowly approaching it and placed themselves on an axis of rotation.
If Sol’s soul was the sun, then now one planete with two satellites was being added and moving around the said sun.
This was different from the changes in her own soul. Rather than a satellite adding itself to it, a corner of her soul, more than one-third, changed to a wavelength similar to that of Sol. She could feel his warmth and gentleness directly.
She guessed that this was because while she was forming a contract with Sol only, Sol would form contracts with many others in the future.
It was then....Whooosh...Just like that, in a blink of an eye, Sol body vanished from under their sights.
“Wha...!?”
“Do not worry.” Kiyohime hurriedly calmed down the two phoenixes before speaking, “...Mother?”
Tiamat’s voice resonated to their ears in the bathroom.
[Go to your position. It’s the ideal time for him to enter the blood pool.]
Kiyohime’s expression darkened. She understood very well that once Sol begin the transition in the Duke realm, two possibilities would offer themselves to them.
[By the way, girl. I will borrow your little friend. We might need her help.]
Isis had no time to answer before the presence of Tiamat simply vanished.
Now alone, the three of them gazed into each other eyes before Kiyohime began to move.
“Will you fine?”
It was a simple question. They had already made preparation to evacuate the dragons that were too young to fight. As guests, Isis and Nent had the right to do the same.
“Heh...”
She received no direct answer, but the challenging look in their eyes told a story on its own, making any words useless.
“Very well. Let’s go then.”
Isis laughed and took a step as she followed behind Nent and Kiyohime. Truly, she would never forget her first time. After all, just after losing her virginity, she was about to be embroiled in a fight that could decide the destiny of an entire realm.
She didn’t think many people could boast about such adventure. As such, she needed to survive in order to tell the tale.
Furthermore, her first time had been very pleasuring and she certainly wanted a second, third, and N amount of time more with Sol.
This was a simple wish, a little naughty wish, but in the end, she simply wished to be happy with the man she literally gave a part of her soul to and she would be damned if she let anyone stop her from enjoying those times.
(AN: Oh man. Did Anyone here watch, The Good Place? I currently feel like Chidi. I feel like I have a stomachache. This is officially now the start of vol 9. I am having PTSD from vol 5. *Groan* Let's hope I do justice to the ideas behind this volume.)
