Chapter 307 - Expect a change.

"Was?"

"Yes. Her body is kicking out the poison now that she has a chance!" Feeling c.o.c.ky about all those claims he made a few days ago, he added. "Since the King is dead, his mind control effects are forced to wear off. Anyone he put under his spell, will undergo the same process."

As Mogranius finished his sentence, something even more bizarre begun to happen. A ray of light started forming behind Mogranius, making a noise gentle to the ears. Eric managed to notice instantly and wasn't hesitant to point out out, "What the hell is that!"

Turning around, Mogranius saw a woman forming in front of him out of light and wind itself. Finally shaping, he managed to recognize her arm filled with black veins to the top and, she is wearing it with pride enough to pull her sleeve all the way up.

"Akareas?" Mogranius asked as two tears instantly broke from his eyes as a start and countless others followed. "I thought you were gone forever!"

"I thought so too." Akareas answered softly, reaching out to grab Mogranius' cheek and continued after. "But my powers reached me and found me, giving me all the energy I need!"

Feeling a lot of guilt in an instant, he replied with his tone shaking in regret. "If I knew that you would regain your powers if the King died, I would have done everything to kill him!"

"It wouldn't have worked, his father and grandfather died before along with their powers. The process would just have been repeated!" She answered, rubbing his face to calm him down and wiping away some of his tears. Let's not forget she is still at a spirit form, spirits or ghosts can indulge in physical contact. "I'm not sure what happened while I was gone, but it worked."

"I feel so happy that you are finally free." Mogranius answered as his tears flew more and more, while Eric just glanced in amazement and felt eager to talk to her again.

Taking a glance at Eric after she gave Mogranius a big smile, she approached him with her feet not even meeting the ground and added. "You are progressing well, great Electus. Is my mentor doing a good job?"

"Oh he could be less sarcastic but I suppose he did quite well." Eric answered, ironically being sarcastic here too after he caught his tongue and spoke.

"Oh you are asking for too much." Akareas joked around before she took a peek at the passed out woman on the ground and the blood near her.

She managed to put two and two together, asking. "Mind Control?"

"Yes, she just came here and fainted on our hands." Eric replied, because Mogranius was in no state to talk. He felt stunned as much as he felt happy.

With a green orb forming on her right palm, she aimed towards Bear Claw and shot the orb towards her. It hovered through the air with ease and elegance before it hit her head lightly, deforming in the process like shattered glass.

It is amazing, even as a spirit, even as a form of soul only, she can use her powers. If she can stand around in Ignis for a year or so, every foul act from the ill.u.s.tratian Alliance can be reversed. But, every good thing comes with a foul friend.

"I've disintegrated most of the poison, she will puke for one last time before she is completely free." Akareas specified once she recalled how dangerous this process can be, she saw several people die in the same process Bear Claw is going too. Mostly because of the brain shock, but also because of the intense pain. "She is a very strong woman, I'm figuring Xakro's grand son put her under his spell."

"Yes I think so to." Eric answered and wanted to ask more about healing right after but never managed to ask questions.

Because she didn't waste time to tell, "I have no time, the next life awaits me." Turning his attention back to Mogranius she wanted to show more gratitude. "Whatever you did, it broke every law I knew and freed me. Thank you."

"I didn't do anythi..." Mogranius tried to fill her in, but she instantly turned her attention back to Eric and stated.

"Young Electus, you have a large journey in front of you. But for now, you need to start taming the Demon of Self Control, please don't proceed any other power without taming it!" Apparently she found out a lot of information as she travelled Ignis as a spirit, or perhaps she over heard Mogranius before?

"You know about the Demons?" Asked Eric in shock, trying to figure out how she knows given her lack of resources and power.

"Yes, speaking of which your Inner Demon of rage has descended to Level 2, I can see it!" She answered with pride, happy that the new Electus at least is progressing well. "Expect a new type of glow in your eyes as soon as you know how to control Lava."

Without getting in to more detail, knowing she only has a few more seconds left she took a peek back at Mogranius and approached him calmly. Grabbing both his shoulders, this old lady moved closer towards him and gave him a little kiss on the check. "Treat Commander Alia well please."

Afterwards she started deforming, representing a form which could be categorized as a blob, resembling a soul. Flying towards the sky after, her light shone at a slow pace until at a certain distance she completely merged with the light on the sky.

"I hope she didn't see me get at it with Commander Alia." He thought to himself once he noticed how his privacy might have been invaded countless times.

"Shit!" They heard a sound behind them, turning around they saw Bear Claw holding herself up from the ground. "I fainted again?"

"Yes. But please relax, we healed you a bit." Explained Eric a bit untruth fully, I mean regardless of her race and power they can't tell her everything. "You should get all that poison out of you after one more puke."

Just now, Eric managed to take a peek at what eyes she is carrying. Before when she was conscious they just looked at her from a distance, and considering the blood all over her chin they didn't think of looking at her eyes in detail.

Her pupils are split in half, he noticed it and instantly decided to ask. "Are your eyes like that because of the mind control?"

"How do you know I was under mind control?" Asked Bear Claw in confusion, they never met her and she never met them although she understood who they are.

"The dark blood, it is poison." Answered Eric as Mogranius turned around to wipe away all his tears.

"That explains why I have been coughing blood, thank you for healing me." She is healed now, she likely won't die because of this process either but she still looks like a complete mess.

Able to approach older women more, thanks to all the motherly affection Commander Alia showed. Regardless of his social anxiety disorder which is a shade of shyness, he approached Bear Claw with a small cloth on his hand.

Starting to wipe her chin, he had to use both sides of the small cloth just to wipe off 1/3 of the dried off blood. Bear Claw just stood in patience and appreciated the kind gesture, with no aims of causing a scene about it.

With all that she went through these past few days, letting a kid touch her face is nothing at all to be mad about. Helping her sit up straight and afterwards dashing towards his backpack to get another cloth by ripping off parts of his fur clothing.

He approached her once more and wiped off the rest of all that blood from her face. "You must feel tired from losing so much blood, would you like some meat to eat?"

"I would love that, please bring me some." Again using the word please, doesn't sound so common for her but desperation opens up new doors.

Finally wiping away all his tears, he approached Bear Claw with red eyes and asked. "Speaking of tired, how did you get all the way here to Septemtrionis Ignis in this condition? Losing all that blood should have put you in an eternal slumber." It is not like he wants an Ignite dead, but this just breaks so many rules of what's common.

"It was like hell, but you are the only people who could possibly help me and I was right." She felt proud of her choices as everything she saw looked blurry and she kept getting dizzy.

"Here eat this meat, it should get some blood back in you." Eric offered hospitality, even lifted the food all the way close to her face. With much will he would even help her eat too.

"How do you know that we could have helped you?" Asked Mogranius in curiosity, now that sadness isn't entirely occupying his mind.

"You both are Fire Controllers, and Chan talked all the time how big of a hunt you two would be." Bear Claw answered truthfully, having no reason to hide anything since her hate towards the ill.u.s.tratian Alliance grew stronger. "So I figured you two can help me."
