She then noticed how hot and cold it was at the same time, but wasn't being affected by it at all. The heated side was far above 150 degrees Fahrenheit....it was a staggering 900 degrees Fahrenheit, same with the cold side with a staggering -900 degrees Fahrenheit. As if it was a equal balance over the entire terrain. Nothing was only cold, and only hot. Everything was both intensely hot and cold at the same time.

This allows the inhabitants with enough adaptability to survive such extreme temperature conditions. Many of the creatures were mutated to be completely different from the beasts on the surface. But what's so surprising is the fact that neither of the people coming off from the pedestal was affected by such temperatures, to them it was similar to a cool breeze with a little warmth keeping them insulated whilst the cool breeze circulates throughout the cool air. One of the people who came out of the pedestal started to come towards Razia's body. As she gazed at Raiza’s body she immediately called everyone there to come towards the little girls body, now everyone surrounded Raiza with wonder and with haste.

(???) “D-does anyone know what to do?!?”

A woman said frantically

(???) “I...i don't know but i feel this power swarming up when i think of saving her It's odd but what if i...”

She put her hands in front of her and she closed her eyes. She focused all her might into her hands and, to her amazement, by the time she opened her eyes she healed all the wounds on Raiza's body yet Raiza was still dead.

(???) “Wh-what do we do now huh?!? We can't just give up at this point!”

A tall slim, yet built man said looking around frantic. No one knows why, but when they see Raiza, they see something they need to protect dearly.

(???) “Nobody said we were going to…maybe her soul isn't in the body”

A woman with blue hair and a tail said, thinking she instinctively then closed her eyes and reopened them to see souls of many, then her body fell down to the ground face first leaving the others in confusion about what had happened just now. Her astral body then flew into the sky to see Raiza floating in the middle of the air, stationary…so she went back down to her physical body to tell the other’s the situation.

(???) “Hmm…if that's the case maybe if we all join together and get his attention, we could possibly bring his lose soul to this girls body.”

A man with a bulky body said scratching his head in question. Soon after a man who had the look of a wise man interrupted the groups thinking with a question

(???) “E-excuse me but i wouldst liketh to asketh wherefore wouldst a male soul beest did place into a wench's corse in such a way yond that gent can't…. simply kicketh the bucket? to mine own und'rstanding, that gent is in a state wh're that gent can't wend up n'r down…as if 't be true that gent is shackl'd to this corse liketh t's his prison.”

Everybody stopped and looked at each other dumbfounded.

(???) “We’ll deal with that later, we just need to save her....no him?”

A man with a similar build to the one earlier but he has more of a plump facial structure.

(???) “ For now since his body is that of a girl we’ll call him a “girl”.

A small petite girl with her arms crossed said.

Everybody shook there head in agreement

(???) “ U-uh um s-so how d-do we get her s-s-soul back i-in...side the body?”

A girl with white hair flowing down past her back said while stuttering

(???) “ We need to get her attention somehow….i'll try something!”

The girl with blue hair said.

She then closed her eyes again , using her astral body she then flew up to Raiza who was still stationary in the air, unable to go neither up nor down.

(???) “H-hey…hello….uh hey th-!”

As she was trying to get his attention, which she did, he was turning around to her, what she saw was a soul broken, unable to pass on to either hell or heaven because of how broken the soul was, the emotion she felt was immense loneliness, abandonment, loss of loved ones, stress and a strong sense of hatred….deep deep hatred. One look in his eyes was all that it took for her to then hug him tightly in his arms, she don't know why she did it, perhaps it was by impulse to hug a person who's so...broken inside, but she was glad it helped a little. Because he moved in a motion to return the favor, but stopped midway, showing a face of distrust, with a sickening look towards her. She then realized how to help him realize that he isn't alone nor would he feel any pain anymore!

(???) “Hmmm…guys..."

She goes down into her body, which one of the girls was holding for her, and told the group what she experienced

(???)...So if we all go up to her…we could guide the soul back into the body!”

Everybody then agreed that this method would be reasonable enough to work. And weirdly enough, normally one would be a spectacle about people you just met, but not them, they were talking and communicating as if they knew each other for years. So she instructed everyone to go into a group circle while holding hands, sitting with your legs criss crossed. Since everyone is in contact with each other she can then use her skill,

'Soulless body'

To then give everyone the ability to give them an astral body capable of flying around and interacting with souls, listlessly, so they could then go to Raiza and save her from the pain. So she then used her skill, and they all flew up to Raiza where he was stuck in between both life and death.

(???) “Hey, uh we came here to save you!”

The girl with blue hair said with enthusiasm. Raiza turned towards the girl slowly.

(Raiza) “.....S-save?”

She gasped as she turned to the others seeing as though that just their presence alone was enough to spark something

(???) “He...he talked!! Oh my! We're getting somewhere-”

(Raiza) “HAHAHAHAHA!! Save me! To think this one here would DARE believe I can be saved from anyone?!?! HELL from anybody!! Even the damned devil casted me aside! I cant fucking go to hell or damned heaven now!! I'm just a dead soul who….who can't even see his family once more, one who gets betrayed when you let your guard down...”

His soul, was the color of black, so black and dark infact, it was tampering with the groups astral body, not by much, but it was doing some damage emotionally.

(???) “T-then w-we c-can be your f-f-f-family!!”

The girl with white hair said fiddling with her hair, hoping that she can cheer Raiza up.

(???) “Yes, that we can be! We have your blood matter flowing through us!"

A bulky guy said in a stern, deep voice.

(Raiza) “...So you all would simply do that out of the kindness of your hearts!?!”

Raiza questions with animosity

(???) “Y-yea! We aren't-”

(Raiza) “ YOU DAMNED FOOLS!! Do any of you think i’ll simply trust anyone anymore!! Do any of you know what i went through, through my 58 years of livin?! After my grandmother died….i had to go to jail from the accusations of my alleged murder of 26 people….including my own grandmother. In result to that accusations I got tortured for 18 months because i didn't confess to it, them damned demons, by SHEER WILL I fought the pain from my muscles being torn my brain electrocuted, damn near cooked on end, suffering from both mental and physical exhaustion, no sleepin, no eatin, only that damned crazy ass and his DAMNED TORTURE DEVICES HE CALL 'PLAYTHINGS' !!

His voice held anger and rage with a sweet taste of sadness mixed in, all the group could ever do was to listen to Raiza

(Raiza) "…during those 18 months, they had used 1,881 different types of tortures on me….a mere goddamned kid at that time…hehehehaha! Im still mentally broken till this damned day….after i got out of jail for a total of 13 years….i knew my life was practically over, no friends nor family to say 'I'm home' to...

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

No friends or family to welcome me out of prison, no friends or family to even give a hug to or smile with!"

With a disdain, disgusted look, he turns around with his arms crossed. His voice is getting weak as he speaks more

(Raiza) So I thought I could go about finding a job, just a damn job... a simple one. But to my leisure….i couldn't get one. Due to my criminal record not even a damn ran downed food stand wanted me to touch a fucking burger patty! So i had to wonder the streets for food and water and shelter like the useless homeless person I was...but there wasnt any…the world changed due to the new world order being implemented on the world, no life for the poor, yet the rich and the elites plague the minds of the mindless sheep to do their bidding, yet the world i call "sheep" doesn't know it themselves... I tried going to the forest that was uninhabited, but that too wasn't what God intended for me to do, since there were god damned cannibals there… i mean like really? Why did I have to meet CANNIBALS?? I lost a leg trying to escape an estimated herd of a good 50 of em, they ran on all fours and white foam came out of their mouths as their mouth was still painted crimson from the fresh kill they caught. Heh, I sure was lucky. I was then able to beg and grovel on my feet for a bionic leg if I agreed to join, this cult who trafficked kids….

I was in a death or life state so I agreed to trafficking a total of 100+ kids to god knows where and what they needed them for, how far i've fallen for such a thing for a mere leg...dammit me!"

He starts to tear up and clench his fists as he speaks, some of the girls started to whimper, even though they didn't know what he was talking about, they could tell he went through a lot

(Raiza) " But what was so damn ironic is that I then found a girlfriend with similar problems…we hated each other at first but we came around…had a child and everything. I was able to do things to get me away from the cult, but I had to live off the grid so they didn't find me….life was starting to get better. Until my face, was suddenly everywhere. We didn't at that time know it was, nor did i tell her what exactly happened with my past in detail other than the basics, so when she was taking our kid, who was six..."

He starts to pause, his voice fluctuating from low to high

(Raiza) "...To school, t-they threw trash cans, rocks, pencils, and god damn knives at him they even got the damned dogs, SPECIFICALLY with infections in them…..my wife survived but our kid didn't….she survived by running away….looking back at our kid as he, was dying from bleeding and beatings of the people around him, the bites from the dogs as they chewed...ch-chewed through the bone's. His face was ripped off as you could see his red insides, the muscles was exposed and the dogs still went at it. The kids and even the teachers stomped and stomped on my boys face! All you could hear was my boy's screams for his mom to help, but the bitch was long gone...he cried and cried till he went silent. Injuries were mostly on his head and throat.…being stomped on by the kids, hell even adults from god knows where came and got in on the action."

On the verge of tears he starts to tear up even more so. The group at this point was in shock and in horror of the things he was saying. Some cried while others clenched their fist in anger for him

(Raiza) "Even my boy's legs were torn off by hounds the scene was like a-a damn movie by the people playing in it. I got the news from wondering why my wife and child was gone so late, it was till 12 at night till i noticed it was too long for them to be so late. I had to way to contact them since the cult could trace my voice quite easily. So, with a limp i walked miles from my house to school and when i got there. Just a puddle of blood and a mangled body laid strewn on the floor!"

With a yell of sadness he screamed out

(Raiza) " I-went to my boy just to see him, and nothing was there to remind me of him, his body was so torn apart that he couldn't even be considered readable. With all my might i took what's left of his body and took it back to my home where i buried him. I cried for hours on end wondering why my wife didn't come. I had watched the tape and the screams...they still haunt me till this damn day!

The group was in even more shock and in sadness as he kept on talking about his past. Not even sad, they're just plain angry that it happened to him.

(Raiza) " I limped my ass all the way into court the same fucking day! I did so since my car was stolen, my house, even my possessions were taken. 800 miles....god damn 800 fucking MILES I LIMPED my way to that DAMN COURT they KNEW i had a disability yet they done nothing of the sort to help…..I had enough courage to make a appearance in the world by testifying against the school knowing the cult can get me, even if this was God's judgement on me i'll let it happen since i truly deserve it all. I testified against the kids, The school, The state, and even my own wife…but thanks to a certain someone with power…"

With a harsh, forced chuckle, he continues on.

(Raiza) "They said these exact words with a happy, happy smile...

'Deal with it, it's how life is, having your boy die was all a part of the new world!! SO DEAL WITH IT!'

....Then and there is where everything ended, the court proceedings, and my life as i know it, again that is. I tried going to my old home many times, but the people there in the neighborhood, couldn't let me go to my own home I used to live in, my neighborhood soon found out i was a serial killer and a human trafficker and made the goddamned PRESIDENT sign a petition saying I can't live in that state anymore.

I tried going to my house where i was living with my parents but the people there didn't let me, they did the same thing my Grandmothers neighborhood did, years ago…..so I turned to the dark ends of society again, to dispose of body's, and to my luck, I found out that they dug a 1 foot grave with a cheap gravestone for my grandmother. They didn't even care cuz they were quite literally stepping on my grandmother, her body wasnt even in the dirt deep, cursing at her name, and tarnishing the engraving on the tombstone….

I was so delved in my own delusion and was so damn drunk, I dreamed one day that I found my Grandmother...I even held a...a mini funeral at the place we used to live! And i saw her dancing, and singing like she used to, even with my parents...but to no avail did God play with me….because it was all a but a dream. I drunk till i could die...for years i did until I woke up one day only to then die later by my only “friend” i ever had."

With a pained, contorted face, Raiza's eyes grows heavy as he closes his eyes, continuing to speak

(Raiza) "If only i wasn't so blinded i could have stopped some of the things i went through...if only god had helped me, if only i had a chance to….i-!”

Everybody then came around hugging him, while crying they all shed tears of sorrow.

Sniffing, the girl that healed his body hugged him tightly

(???) “ It's so sad….i'm sorry that you went through that to think you went through all of that alone…but, we can be your family!”

Everybody else roared in agreement

(???) “But, this “Shijah”...I hope we never cross paths because Imma kill her the day I see her!”

Said a man with slim yet built frame

(???) “Y-Y-Yea! W-who w-would do that t-to a f-friend!”

(Gazien) “.....Hahahaha!! I see we have the same mindset on things ey? Maybe if fate wills it, we could exact revenge...that is if she still lives”

(???) “It wouldst beest most pleasurable if 't be true the situation calleth, the damn'd goodyear might not but beest slain…”

With wonder in his eyes he looked at the man in question asking himself, 'Just what the fuck did he say?' the others did the same but with a slight giggle.

Raiza looks at them all and smiles softly at himself

(Raiza) “.....Ok, I've decided, you all can become apart of my family!”

(???) “Yay!!”

The girl with blue hair said excitedly bouncing up and down

Everybody then hugged him once again making it difficult to move

(???) “Alright, now's the time to guide your soul back to your body.”

(Raiza) “Wait…what?!?”

So she then explained her powers to him in detail….her power is the ability to deal with anything soul related…but she remembers only how to use parts of it the things she can do is guide a soul with out restriction towards any object. She can also create a soul but it would have no conscious, similar to a "ghost", she can make other people she touches have a astral body which lets them be able to do what a ghost would, fly go through walls, mess with the living but only to the extent where your presence is barely known making the feeling of "cold air" surround you, and also mess with simple objects. They can't attack or do harm to those around them, but she can attack people's souls directly, leading the victim to feel excruciating pain.

But she can only do things on a lower scale as if the feeling of being able to do way more is there, yet the memory of how to use it isn't there as if the memory been erased…so she, in a since is like a level 1 character being played by a game veteran with the experience on how the game goes, yet cant utilize the Overpowered skills since the attack is not up there to deal maximum amount of damage.

In this case, regarding one of her skills. She only knows how to make a astral body of anybody she touches that’s sentient, and guides them through the area of a couple meters. This similar effect of only having access to there base power yet cant remember how to use more then what they know there capable of, also goes the same with the other 12….they all agreed that they know only the basics of their skills and powers….as if they had their memories erased. They then decided to go through introductions after getting his body back. After a couple of minutes they finally did so.

(Raiza) “Ahhh feels nice to have a body again….anyway so first introductions! What's yalls name?”

In an empty silence they all look at each other and say the same thing

(Everyone) “...Name?..."

(Raiza)” ...Y-you know something you call yourself, like a name tag of sorts?”

(???) “Uh…we just came to life...I think...over there”

A man points towards the place the statues were once at

(Raiza) “So….the statues I saw…is yall!?! How does that even work?!"

Raiza said with curiosity.

(???) “It seems as though it was a blood sacrifice of the highest level…one where you give birth by blood…and you finish the rest by adding your human blood to the mix, well what's left of it”

A bulky and tall man said bluntly

With his mouth wide open, Raiza looks quizzically around the area, then back at them

(Raiza) "S-so you're saying that....”

(???) “Yes, you're our mother by blood”

A petite, small framed girl said, still having her arms crossed

(Raiza) “ W-wait, wait mother? I'm a guy…a dude I'm not a girl!"

Soon the realization hit him. 'I am inside of a girl's body, but my soul is a man dammit!'

(Raiza) " Sigh,my soul is that of a guy! Im not a woman, but…

(???) “ You do have a body of a girl…”

A girl with a big bust said with a glint in her eye

(Raiza) “ Sigh...Ok...ok im not a girl but i guess i'm your mother and father….now, since you don't have names...as your parents will name y'all. Aight so you're a...?”

(???) "A-a-a v-vampire!”

(Raiza) “Oh ok….you look like a bunny but without ears…… you're Spirluina."

(Spirulina) “ Sp-Spirlunia! I-i-love it mom!"

Shen proceeds to hug Raiza tightly, making Raiza question why she was so happy for? And why was he now being called 'Mom'

(Raiza) “...Right, mom…al-alright then who's next!”

(???) “Me!! Pick me!!”
