"This lower being, as you called her, is also my Master! So watch your tongue!" Diablo yelled. He was actually legitimately angry.
"I…." Iena looked as if she was going to cry. I sighed and stepped forward. Iena, at this time, couldn't harm me even if she wanted to. So I was not worried about her lashing out at me.
I reached out and grabbed her hands, causing her to look at me. I leaned close to her and whispered: "By staying here with me, you can be closer to him. I think this works out well for you, does it not?"
I watched as Iena's eyes went wide, and she nodded her head. And suddenly wrapped her arms around me. "Master is smart!"
Okay, I understand you are happy, but please let me go. Your boobs are crushing my face! Damn demon! I'm not jealous! "Okay, please calm down. The reason Diablo helped me call you here is because I need to learn soul magic. There will also be more girls coming as well. Since Diablo is a man, it is not best for him to teach girls this, so he will be teaching the boys."
Hearing my explanation, Iena nodded her head. "I understand." She then turned to Diablo and said: "Please leave the room. Girls only!"
Diablo nodded and went to leave before pausing: "Make sure you teach her well. Our lives are also connected to hers. I will know if you try anything funny."
"I would never harm her!" Iena snorted as she took my hand. "I already know we will be the best of friends!"
"Humph! Just don't overdo it." Diablo replied before leaving the room. This left me, Iena, and my mother standing in my room.
"So…." My mother spoke up. "Diablo is not son in law?"
"I have been saying that since the start!" I yelled out. Why was she still concerned about this!?
"Then you need to work harder!" My mother yelled back. "Hmph! I will go see what he thinks!" And with that, my mother was off like lightning following after Diablo.
"That is your mother?" Iena asked. She didn't seem to mind what we talked about just now, which was good. It seemed she was not the possessive type that would go crazy over every girl who talked about the man she liked.
"Yeah, sorry. Let's get this over with." I answered.
"I see. Her heart is in turmoil. I guess why you need to learn soul magic is due to this?" Iena seemed to be someone who was sensitive to other people's emotions, or it could just be an innate skill she has.
"Yeah, my father disappeared in the dungeon that popped up, and it has wraiths in it," I explained. I then told her what happened in the dungeon.
"Yes, then soul magic is the way to go. Surprisingly, his highness is being so gentle. If it was any of those under him, he would have just invaded our souls and told us what to do without a care for our privacy." Iena gave a wry smile. I guess she experienced this firsthand. "And the worst part is he never even reacted!"
"Well, now you have plenty of time to try to make him notice you," I said with a smile, trying to make her feel better. She seemed to have gone into a gloomy mood after remembering that.
"Hehe, that is thanks to you, my new Master!" Iena smiled and hugged me tightly, pushing my face into the two meat bags that hung off her chest. I swear I am not jealous!
"Okay, on a more serious note, let's get down to business. Master, you will need to open your body and soul to me in order for me to enter your sea of consciousness. Only there can I begin teaching you how to use soul magic." Iena's words were a bit confusing. I had no idea what my sea of consciousness even was.
"Ummm… I am not sure…." I began, but Iena stopped me.
"Don't worry. You will feel it once I try to enter it. Normally no one in these mortal plans would ever attempt to enter their sea of consciousness as it is a domain most do not even know exists within them." Iena explained.
"I see. Then I am ready whenever you are." I said.
"Then sit on the bed. We will need to press our foreheads together. From there, just enter a state of meditation and try to feel the inner workings of your body. Once you feel a slight pain, focus on it. I will then begin teaching you how to open your sea to me." With Iena's instructions, I sat on the bed cross legged, Iena did the same. Then we leaned forward and pressed our foreheads together. Once we were in position, I closed my eyes and began trying to do as I was told.
I had never really meditated before, so this was new to me. I tried to focus on things inside my body, mainly my heartbeat. I allowed the sound to get louder and louder, draining out any sounds around me. It was only when I felt a sharp pinch in my forehead did I change my focus. But as I did, the darkness that I was experiencing with my eyes closed turned bright as I entered a white room like area. I looked down and could see my body which was semi-transparent in nature. But as I was told, I had no clothes on.
"Not bad." A voice entered my mind. "Now, picture a door. A door that will allow me to enter where you are."
I closed my eyes and pictured a door. I pictured a door that Iena and only Iena could enter. When I opened my eyes again, a door appeared before me. Just an ordinary door. Wood planked with a metal handle.
"This might be easier than we thought." Iena's voice entered my mind once more as the door began to open, but as it did, the white area around me began to turn from white to dark, blood red. An ominous feeling began to take over me, causing me to cry out: 'Wait! Iena don't enter!"
