Episode 50 - The Guardian of Spirit Pt 2

Later that night, Hanji woke up, back in the real world, in the forest where she was training with Utu. It was already dark, she slowly raised her body and saw her mentor making a campfire with two camping tents ready.

Utu: Welcome back.

Hanji: How long was I out?

Utu: The whole afternoon.

Hanji: Oh..

Utu: But, I see that the Deity of Spirit recognized you as worthy.

Hanji sees that her pendant was shining in yellow light and remembers the last words before she got yeeted out from that test.

???: That wasn't too bad. I recognize you as worthy of the Spirit role, but only your mentor will have the final say on the matter.

Hanji: What do you mean?

???: Your mentor will have to recognize you as well. My approval was only one part of the larger trial.

Hanji looks down.

???: Your vision... I cannot tell you who is the ultimate evil, but I can give you a tip.

Hanji looked at the light being.

???: Twin Souls. Two halves of the same entity, both being carried by two different people. Yet, they aren't the danger, someone else is.

Hanji starts to slowly wake up.

???: I'll leave the finding of the answer to you.

Hanji thinks about all of what the Deity said.

Utu: Nice mark.

She didn't get it and Utu touched his cheek. She grabbed her cellphone and turned on selfie camera.

Utu: That's the Sun Aura Insignia. Everyone that goes through the spirit test gets one.

Congratulations, here's your reward

Hanji: Wow...

She noticed that Utu had one, but it wasn't shining like hers.

Utu: They only start to shine when you are using your powers.

Hanji: Then why is it shining now?

Utu: Because you just got it, give it a moment. Are you hungry?

Hanji: I should eat something. I haven't eaten since breakfast..

Hanji took a sit on a rock on the opposite site of the campfire, Utu hands her the dinner he made and she starts eating.

Utu: So, what the Spirit Deity made you see on the Gate of the Setting Sun?

Hanji: I showed them my 'story' and they showed me that my clan doesn't hate me. I also showed them my vision from the gods...

Utu: Did he tell you who lies at the end? Who will bring the end of the world if you and your team don't stop it?

Hanji: No. He told me.... Let me remember... Twin Souls.... Two halves of the same entity.... both being carried by two different people. Yet, they aren't the danger, someone else is.

Utu: So Jade isn't the enemy, nor the one who Saisem wants her to fuse with. Which means their fusion isn't what will bring doomsday, someone else will by using them.

Hanji: Yes..

She paused to collect her thoughts.

Hanji: But.... Twins Souls... Two halves of the same entity.. This means Jade has a twin.
