-Karl POV-
**crash* "Ouch why"
I known that was part of the plan that Silas had made. He told me to go get grandpa. It just that he need him Silas would had call out like the other times. I stay where I was and watch the them. Zuri defeated Silas' zombie father she was glowing. Then a ghost appear from the air and Zuri fell to the ground. I want to run out to help.
"No Zuri, I can't sorry" (Karl)
Silas was talking to the bellua calmly. I can't hear them from here so sneak in. Silas was making a deal to save me and the other villagers.
"As the deal we will leave this town after your death" (Bone Knight)
The Knight rise the staff and aim the skull at me like a spear. Silas isn't moving he going to die. I start ranning with out thinking. I stop in front of him. Something hot spread out from the chest. Things were getting dark the last the I will see is Silas. Then things flash back into view. I was floating in the air why.
Oh, right I'm dead now huh. Moving was easy just think where to go and your there. I want to be where Silas was so I appear where I die. Zuri the elf whom just move here was on the ground. We became fast friends and she could get along with Silas. Plus she keep pushing me to have more courage when it came to Silas. He wasn't worry about her so she'll be find.
Silas pick up my body then put it over his shoulder. He's going take of it so it can't become a bellua. I don't have a family so it would have be burnt without a grave...why is he taking that into a building don't tell me. I speed to the building he enter, the door was barricade I went throught cause of this ghost body. There I saw it on a table and Silas was over in a empty space.
"This place will work..
It was beautiful with shimmering little lights coming from his hand. The lights started to making outlines and shapes as it continue a key form. It was a great as big as his forarm. It had a four sided blade with a jigsaw pattern. The handle had a skull on it and look like it was made out of crystal.
"Key open the door to
The key move from the vertical to horizontal. Then as it move the key's blade start to disappear. There was a nosie like a iron gate was open. Starting from the key out a round metal door appear then open inwards. Silas pick my body up aging then walk inside. I was awstruck by this. For years I struck by him trying to keep that place but he always hiding something this was it.
I float on in I lost sight of Silas and my body. Where have they gone to? I was float speeding this maze of stuff. There was sure a lot of things here but I don't care I need to find them. It was in vain somehow ghost body do get tired.
Now I'm really lost were the exit, my body, Silas where are you find me? He would, he had in the past number of times. I was still a child, here lost, still relying on the only one who care for me. I broke down crying, scared, & pathetic that is me.
"hey......hey......hey you, soul girl up here" (Man)
I heard a voice went I look at a shelf. There was a tiny tianxia man with a sword same size of him made of wax. A doll no it was to well design and couldn't move. He had a strange red coat with matching pants. His ears & tail look like a Canidae Beastkin but his face & body was human. The first voice was a man then I heard a woman on. From a tianxia human woman archer doll in similar clothes as the man.
"Don't tell me a young one like you. sold your soul." (Woman)
"Sold me no I'm lost" (Karl)
"Hahahah, what lost that not possible. Not in this hell"
"Hell what you mean?" (Karl)
"Child, look around you. We all give our soul to grant a wish." (Woman)
"So whom were you? What was your wish?" (Karl)
I took a good look around. Shelf after shelf full of these things. The woman answer first.
"When I was a child. My kingdom and those kingdoms nearby where suffering a plague. Hundreds would drop dead a day. The Knights went around look for the dead to burn them. One day I found a book with a summoning drawing inside. It had written that if I'm able to play the price the King of Death can grant any wish.
Mother was going to be a victim. At any time I could become one too. So I did so I summon the King of Death. A skeleton in a king's mantle appeared. It reach out to touch my hair then said 'poor child from the slums so young and a hard life. Speak your wish and for your trouble I will give you a little more. The price will be your soul. Not like some myths I will just hold on to it for a time until your debt is pay'.
It was strangely charming and ease my mind. I spoke 'There a plague that no magic or herd that can heal the victim. Mother is sick I will be next. I need the power to heal us'. The skeleton answer 'Understood. The power that will be given can save millions from sickness, hunger, and even lost if you make it under the limit. Add in some advantages as an adult'. The skeleton pull out a wand from black smoke. I glow red for a little while. 'With that the deal is made. I will return in twenty years' It and the book vanish.
With the power I cure not only the people also the land. I made a name as a saint. I was ask by many man for marriage only to refuse them all. I was invited to join a hero party but I send my apprentice. Then time was up and the King of Death return for me. After it took my soul we came here. Then warp me into this shape and left." (Woman)

"My story less sappy. I was born as the fifth son of the leader from a nomad tribe. I try to become stronger then my elder brothers but the younger brothers pass me in strength. One day at my mid-age while hunting I found the same book. That night father fell sick without warning. I summon that damn Demon Lord.
It reach out to touch me as well. 'Royal child of a kingdom with no land. Speak your wish and for your lost I will save your people. The price will be your soul. Not like some myths I will just hold on to it for a time until your debt is pay'. I took it 'I am weaker and more foolish of my siblings. I need the power to keep my people safe.' The skeleton answer 'Understood. The power that will be given take from other sapiens. You will lose your father soon I tell you which sibling. Stop him before he kill the other siblings.'
As I glow red the knowledge of the sixth son and how he posion father. After the Demon Lord took his leave with his 'With that the deal is made. I will return in fifteen years'. I confronted him with others in the room. I was the one to carry out the execution.
With this power and being the new leader of this tribe. I forcefully unite 99 other nomad tribes. I forge the largest kingdom of the times. I became king while the leaders of the 99 tribes and my eldest brother became nobles. That Demon Lord return and did the same as all the others." (Man)
"Demon Lord which one" (Karl)
"It one you may not hear of. The Demon Lord of the Wretches" (Man)
"Huh? That one was kill by the hero years ago" (Karl)
"Child, that couldn't have or this place would be no more and we be free" (Woman)
"Soul Girl, tell me how did you enter this place" (Man)
"I follow Silas, he open it with a key that come...No, that can't be true. My Silas can't be a Demon Lord." (Karl)
""Soul Girl/Child run now its here"" (Man/Woman)
"Oh, Karl your here that will save the energy" (Silas)
Silas, he found me it make me happy you can see me. Those two where lying about you, right? why would they?
"Demon Lord, you may have a new body but I can sense your soul" (Woman)
"Yea, A hero kill that body some time ago, but that same hero made a deal with me." (Silas)
"A fellen hero what a shame. Now you are a human so what are you planning to do." (Woman)
"I need some Ghost Shells and Soul light to finsh. So what about it? If you lot help you be set free" (Silas)
"Demon Lord, are you sane? every last one of us we do anything if it mean freedom" (Man)
"Agree, We despise these curse forms we were given" (Man/Woman)
"I'm truly sorry about that. I was a Demon Lord and you childern of the Gods were too needed. I had no use for souls nor had a heart to care. You use me to get what you wanted, so when time was up I use you" (Silas)
Silas What are you talking about? Why go along with those lairs? Tears were coming out.
"Who are you? you are Silas right my Silas? you can't be a Demon Lord right?" (Karl)
"Karl remember take report I did for school. I didn't got that from a book. I was once a prince, then I ascend to Demon Lord. Now I'm Silas, your Silas I never change once" (Silas)
"*sniff* yea the same one" (Karl)
I smile happy, I was too just childish. I will work on that.
"Listen up all of you the deal is you help your free that's it agree" (Silas)
""YES"" (All)
"Good to hear, you will now when you are need. Karl come with me" (Silas)
"Un" (Karl)
My place beside him is still there. It was the safest place I ever known. As we turn the croner I saw a workplace with tools and pens. There on the floor nearby was a drawn magic circle. Inside was my body naked.
"Silas, Why~ am I naked, do you like that kind of thing" (Karl)
"What are you talking about? If it some kind of sexally fetish. I haven't had a sex drive in eons. I have 3 to 4 years before it start back up. Reason your body is naked is to give you a new life." (Silas)
"Really, I can thats great but kind of magic can be use to bring some one back." (Karl)
Silas walk over to the desk to working on something.
"I didn't say back it was new. Your time as a human is over unless you don't want it" (Silas)
"I like that, but I may end up attacking you" (Karl)
"There are contrary to the rule. Just matter where on the totem pole you want to be" (Silas)
"What do you mean." (Karl)
"Like contract are for equal partnership. A mark for the spawn to control the sapiens and a symbol for vice versa. Course there the seal that the sapiens use to control their own" (Silas)
"Then Silas put the symbol on me, others wouldn't feel safe around me. And you wouldn't do something like that even if you did it be okay" (Karl)
"I don't know what your talking about but that was the plan at the beginning" (Silas)
"So how Zuri, will she be fine?" (Karl)
"She's alive but shes now a Hero of Elves so she be returning too her world. Add in I'm now a Villain & you will soon not be human any longer. That was the end of that friendship I enjoy her being around it was fun." (Silas)
"Agree it haven't been a full year and the plan party next week ruin" (Karl)
"Okay done it time to start" (Silas)
Silas got up to grab two stones nearby. One was pitch black with brown here and there flowing like water, it had the roughness of a rock. The other pure white with red moving like flames, it had the smoothness of metal. What will those will be use for?
"Karl interested. The rough one is Miasnite and the smooth one is Mystnite. The colors were the spawns elements and the size tell the class these where diamond-class. From the two that attack the town" (Silas)
"What are they for?" (Karl)
"Your new life now time for the show...Tempted Soul that can hear answer and come forth" (Silas)
Then a huge light was come are us. Silas directed it into my body. It was glowing then white smoke start to come out. As the hole in my chest started to close up.
"This step is to repair the body. The white smoke are the souls without a ghost shell they are free to join the Gods. That was the last one next step....Tempted Soul that can hear answer and come forth" (Silas)
This time the light was longer and there were black mix in. Silas directed it at the two stones. The Two stones became one the size was smaller this one look like a starry night. It was like a gemstone with smooth egdes and rough body.
"This is Etiamnite, a fuse of both miasnite & mystnite. The creature it make are call peregrinus they live in the void." (Silas)
"Their were such beings out there." (Karl)
"That correct. There are two planets rule by the Demon Lords & Angel Emperors. The one for Mediocris call Gaia and the one for the Bellua is call Sheol. Not much is known about peregrinus. Just that the stay in a place within the void thats call Nebula. Your new body will be that of a experimental specimen to me rather than a servant or a pet. Now the last step that you will remember...Tempted Soul that can hear answer and come forth" (Silas)
This time the light with black mix in grab me and the Etiamnite. Things started become too bright to see then two color smoke came infornt of me. The black one started to talk.
"Soul Girl, Trading yourselves for all of us. Every last one is gone." (Man)
"No I want to stay at Silas' side that all. Your freedom is a side effect of my selfishness....Well with you all gone I'm his only doll" (Karl)
"Child, I don't know why you think like that. You may even curse this one day. As a thank and worry the both of us will give you what we wish for in hope it will save your future. This is bye" (Woman)
"See ya, Soul Girl" (Man/Woman)
