Note:- Dont buy yet.

…

“Huh? What does that mean?” Ray thought and continued to watch as his soul sea stabilized. Though, he did notice one thing. It wasn’t the same anymore. The soul sea was changing and not just some minor changes that one might expect but the soul sea was transforming completely.

“The hell!!” Ray screamed as he saw the whole place change, turning into an unfamiliar place with little to no resemblance to the old place.

The only thing that remained as it is was the island where Aurora used to live but that place wasn’t that big in the first place and not just that but he also noticed that the soul sea had gotten bigger. The size was almost three times as before and as for what it had turned into now, Ray couldn’t ever fathom in his dreams that it would turn into something like this.

Taking in a deep breath, he tried to look further but the vision had stopped. The whole place was stuck and the best Ray could do was to capture the image of his soul sea in his mind.

Shaken, he didnt even notice when he was back in the bed, Aurora’s lips pressed against his. His body feeling hot from her touch, beet red in embarrassment; he tried to back of but Aurora was upon him and she wasn’t letting him go.

The next moment, her tongue entered his mouth, coiling around with tongue as Ray felt a certain part of his body rising, the urge taking over his as his hands started to move all over Aurora’s curvaceous figure.

“It’s enough you to, we arent here to watch you both do the deed,” FengFeng spoke, her voice firm, filled with a tinge of playfulness as she suddenly changed her tone and spoke in a harsh voice, “So snap out of it!” Her words making both Aurora and Ray freeze up as they stopped.

Ray’s hands still rested over Aurora’s hips, savoring the touch of her body as slowly, Aurora got up and looked into Ray’s eyes shyly while Ray himself was also embarrassed to the point that his face was like a tomato.

Backing off from one another, they distanced themselves and sat on the edges of the bed; looking at FengFeng, they only kept their heads down, even more embarrassed of the fact that they made out in public and that too in such a way.

“So lets get to the topic,” FengFeng spoke, her eyes fixated on Ray as she added, “You must have seen what happened when you decided to go Kamikaze back in the forest and that put us in great danger, almost wiping us out completely. Not just that, even after everything was fixed, we arent the same anymore,” saying so, she snapped her fingers as fire appeared in her hand.

The flame burned vigorously but Ray was sharp and he noticed that the fire wasn’t like before at all. FengFeng was the owner of temporal power and it danced around her fingertips but the flame right now only had a bit of that temporal power and not just her but Mag’ladroth as well, turning to the Void Dragon, he saw that Mag’ladroth only nodded which confirmed his suspicions as Ray spoke,

“Are your powers gone entirely or just blocked? And how do I resolve it, please tell,”

“Not so fast, before that you need to know the situation or else you would be courting death and your second chance would be gone for good,” said FengFeng, her stern voice resounding in the silent room.

“And for that, I will explain everything to you,” Mag’ladroth stepped forward and spoke, “The Yagdrassil did help you and not just you but us two as well. You know that we are legendary figures in the void and so, our powers are way greater than what we had. And so, Yagdrassil did us a favor by locating out our slumbering bodies in the void and turning them into pure energy and handing them back to us but it was this favor of the Yagdrassil which had worsened the situation,”

“Huh? How did it make the situation worse?” Ray asked, bewildered and confused as to how a favor would turn into a curse.

“Well, our bodies contain immense power and since you are out of commission, your bloodline is also slumbering, regaining power and aiding in recovering your lost life force. Hence, it was on us to control the power but given the weakened state of the soul sea, we weren’t able to control the situation completely and our bodies, having their own primary consciousness, gained their own identities and took over the majority of your soul sea,” Mag’ladroth answered, his voice solemn as their was clear dejection in his voice.

“What?” Ray exclaimed in shock as he looked at FengFeng and then at Aurora as they both stayed silent, this time understanding that the situation really was bad and turned even more serious as he asked,

“What else? I know its not just that or else you three wouldn’t be acting like this,”

“Yeah, there is more,” FengFeng spoke and then added, “Your soul sea has been taken over by different sort of species, its almost like a subspace of its own and with the powers of Yagdrassil, the species were given brith to. Its nothing less than a dungeon and where we are right now is the starting point. The only safe place still in our control,”

“Sighhh,” Ray exhaled and sat down on the bed, his head hung low as he muttered, “I should have been careful but what else can we do other than going on and facing the situation. Im sure the Yagdrassil must have a reason for it all,”

“Ray,” A hand softly pressed his shoulder as Ray looked up and saw Aurora’s eyes looking at him deeply, her eyes carrying emotions unlike before, seeing this; Ray realized that even Aurora had grown up, making a personality of her own and not just that but he also noticed the love in her eyes, the love for him that she had and if Ray were to be asked, he would be lying if he said that he didnt feel for her as well.

Having had her by his side for so long, Ray had naturally developed emotions for her and now that she had gained her physical form for some time, Ray wouldn’t deny any longer the fact that he did feel attracted towards her.

“We are with you on this and Im sure that together, we can solve the crisis and have you back at your top,” She said, her words almost plucking the strings in Ray’s heart but deep within Ray also felt strange.

He felt guilty. He had been with Aella and it was for her he was now in this condition and Ray knew, how much Aella loved him but he couldn’t deny his feelings as well. He loved them both, hence; Ray was in a limbo about what to do.

“Hmm, Im sure,” Ray answered with a smile, still a bit unsure but that was until a soft pair of arms wrapped him in their embrace and pulled him forward, his body falling into Aurora’s embrace; he felt peace, a peace he only felt with Aella and so, he accepted his emotions, knowing that denying them would only worsen the situation and if not sooner then later, lead to his doom.

He also embraced her back, enjoying the warmth she gave to him and as for Aella, he promised to clarify everything to her once he got back and even thought of making them both meet.

Knowing it would be tough, he only cursed himself and steeled his resolve to love both of them the same way and make sure not to disregard one or the other.

“So how is the whole place like? Im sure you guys would have some information on that,” he asked, breaking from the embrace, not noticing that the previously bold Aurora was now all shy like a puppy who had just been given the best treat of their life.

“Well, we do know about it but just some basic information,” Mag’ladroth spoke as Ray nodded and replied,

“Something is better than nothing,”

“Hmm that is,” FengFeng commented while Mag’ladroth continued, “So its like this, your soul sea has been divided into various different dungeons and we don’t know much about them but the over all place is a mess. The landscape is messed up, some forest like area, a few grasslands, even a volcanic and an area filled with raging rivers is there too. Only two starting places are fully clear to us,”

“And what are they?” Ray asked, a deep frown over his face as he realized that it was going to be hard and would take a good amount of time to clear everything.

“Well, the first place is a Volcanic area,” FengFeng answered and then stopped, her head hung low as Ray asked, “And?”

“My doppelgänger is the boss of it and so, its a volcano of time,” She answered.
