"¿What is this?... ¿another dark room?... I can't feel my body but I can move somehow here, it's like another kind of sense... I think this is what some people call locked out of the body, I never thought I would know a state like this by almost bleeding out and producing large amounts of adrenaline running away from a mad and corrupted version of Aishti, but I'm here now, I believe I have to wait for whatever this is to end and I hoped for this to be a walk in the park, Jajajaja, I got a pun, I think... well now that I float in this space I suppose I can find something interesting"

***

"Well, I had found nothing after some minutes, nothing at all, Mmmmm this is boring, at least I would like a phone or some chess to play... ¿¡What is that!? ¿Is that a light? I don't know if it is good or bad, but I don't have anything else to do so. ¿What the actual fuck? ¡That is me! or more like a mannequin but done very well, I must admit that is weird to look to oneself this way and not in a mirror, I have my hair short and almost ash-like, I feel I'm taller than Aishti without those heels she uses... Wait, ¿when my fangs got so long? Mmmm, it doesn't matter, it looks cool.

I think this is a representation of my body actual status, that Lilim destroyed my shirt, Well fuck me, another one to the trash, these things don't grow in trees, whatever, it looks like the wound in my arm is sealing itself and fast or someone is suturing it in this moment, well that is gonna hurt like a Demon tomorrow, Ja, I got another one. Mmmmm what is that squirming in my wrist... Is the Salamander... I forgot about her with everything else. Ok ¿what is happening now? My body is glowing.

What the... There are now two bodies, the new one looks weird, this version is more muscular and taller, The Salamander in this one is long enough to curl up on my arm almost completely... is beginning to ¿melt? is burning my arm until it disappears and leaves a mark of its silhouette in it, ¿what does that mean? This Tyler looker feral, and was starting to look at me, his eyes were the same color of the salamander but ablaze, I don't like the way I'm looking at myself, It was a pleasure seeing you stranger, but I think I must go now, Hey, why are you opening your mouth so wide ¿What is that? it looks like... ¡Fire!"

— ¡AAAAAHHH! ¡FIRE! — ¡I'm Awake, I'm alive! Goddammit, that was horrifying.

— It seems he is recuperating ¿How do you feel? —Said a serious lady in a chair at the side of the bed I am now.

— Ejem, better, thank you ¿Who are you by the way? and I apologize if I'm being rude.

— My name is Susan I'm a servant of this household and I was tending to your wounds, but they were not dangerous ones, you lost a good amount of blood, I will call Madam Gertrude, she wants to talk to you.

— Wait... —She vanished in front of my eyes in a black smoke cloud, that was... disturbing.

— Ah, I see you feel better —An old lady entered by the door.

— ¿Are you Gertrude?

— That is correct, I am the Mayor servant of this Household and I want to ask some questions to you —I don't think this can be bad.

— Go on.

— Very well, first ¿Who are you, and how you got in here? Humans centuries ago lost the knowledge of the interdimensional gateways to the Underworld, so answer me, and don't try to lie to me, I will know.

— ¿Like a sixth sense?

— I can feel your heart pulsations and know it that way, now answer —This old lady knows how to put pressure.

— My name is Tyler Mouret Veron and if I'm being completely honest, I don't know how I get here every day, I only sleep and poof here I am.

— It's not possible, that kind of soul... and you are not lying either.

— ¿You mean the soul that has the power to travel between worlds and dimensions? Aishti explained it to me, but I didn't get too much.

— Is Lady Aishti for you, well everything is true, I will call the Mistress so she can see you, If you anything else, call Susan again.

— Got it, thank you.

" This is bad, If the Baron knows about this, there is the probability he will challenge him to a duel, to know if he lives or dies, poor boy, I feel pity for him, but if he could survive this long maybe he has something that could maintain him alive if it's something like that the Baron could even reward his survival instinct, that could be interesting to see, I better look for the Mistress quick... She is not in her chamber, neither the Lobby, neither the garden, maybe the kitchen or the library, those are the areas she visits the most..." After looking in the kitchen I found her on the floor of the library.

— ¡My Lady! ¿Are you alright? ¿What is that in your chest?

— Ah, Hello Gertrude only resting a little bit, ¿this? is just a trinket, I can remove it in a minute.

***

— ¿How long do you need to finish?

— It is already done I will get back in the jewel. like I promised, I will be your guide in channeling these great energies wherever you need them, for know I advise you take some rest, your body is in a critical state no matter how good you feel, that is the adrenalin I commanded to produce, so you could be calmer.

— Mmmm, ok, When you get out of my system, ¿will it hurt?

— Yes, M'lady.

— I hate this shit —The gem started to shine and dug itself out of my chest burning again in the process, I felt the absence of the presence in my body, it worked, but I could still talk to her normally with the telepathic link.

—I suppose is already over, Gertrude help me get to my chambers, I need another bath.

— Miss, I came here to say the human already woke up.

— ¿Already? that's very fast, very well, I can't allow my father to know he is here, by any means, ¿Got it Gertrude? I need your help with this, please.

— Always  My Lady, but ¿Why do you care about him so much? I know he is not a simple human anyways.

— I think you don't understand it, He is still alive because he has an... experimental deal with me.

— I see I will help in any way that I can, but remember your father is a Grizzled warrior and hunter, if he picks something, he might not leave it alone until he knows what it is.

— I know that is what botter me, either way, can you say the other servants that I need help preparing the bath, I feel weak right now.

— It will be my pleasure, Miss.
