Chapter 57 Soul Binding Rings

Chapter 57 Soul Binding Rings

When I woke up again the sun was hanging high in the sky. I look over and see that my whole party is in my room. Iris has gone somewhere else, hopefully to finally catch up on some much-deserved rest. I'll make it up to her for taking care of me later.

"Oh Wats, you are finally awake!" Circe exclaims

"Good morning everyone," I say towards the girls

"Well, it is past 2 pm so it's more like a good afternoon, either way, it is good to see you are feeling better Darling." Anne happily explains

"Yep, I feel great!" I exclaim.

I hop out of bed, and at that moment Iris walks in carrying an ornate box.

"Babydoll, it's good seeing you healthy and energetic. When I checked you this morning you seemed to have made a full recovery, possibly even more powerful?" Iris asks with a slight smile

"Ahh yeah, well umm I kind of incarnated with another soul fragment while I was dreaming. That helped to replenish my spent soul energy, how long have I been out this time?" I ask nervously

"Another 2 days. What is this about incarnating with another soul fragment?" Iris asks skeptically

"I had a dream that my (lock) on my soul fragments was breaking due to overuse of my soul energy. This is what was causing the instability that you noticed in my soul. I figured in my dream that I could solve this problem by incarnating another soul fragment. I did successfully and now I have a fifth soul skill, green level nature type [spiritai]." I explain. I then tell the group about my early morning experiment and discoveries on spiritai.

"As a nature skill holder I understand spiritai, but to think that you were even able to master the pact between different types of spiritai on your first try, as expected of Nii-san!" Lena excitedly exclaimed

"Well done Ani. It took me a whole month just to be able to visualize the animal spiritai. It took me another 2 months to be able to actually utilize them." Beph states

"I take this to mean that Wats sir is indeed the hero of my prophecy?" Gabrielle asks with a conflicted look

"What color spiritai do you see dear?" Cara asked politely changing the topic

"There are so many different colors and shades," I say activating [spiritai]. "I look around and see that there are some blueish white and yellow gray ones around Lena, Some green ones by Lilin, some reddish-brown ones by Beph, and Cara, and some pinkish ones around everyone," I say deactivating [spiritai]. "I don't really know which each one represents though, why?" I ask curiously

"Well as you learned last night different spiritai affect different things. Most people can only see what type(s) of spiritai that are directly related to the request of their soul skill though so it is interesting to hear descriptions of other spiritai." Cara explains

"Oh okay that makes sense, so then what draws the pink spiritai since they are around everyone?" I ask curiously

"Ani, you really are dense sometimes. Pink spiritai are drawn to strong connections and emotions. Usually described as the color of love..." Beph says carefully

"Ohh right that reminds me, babydoll. Solais has finished the first set of 5 soul rings, they have just arrived." Iris said with a mischievous smile.

"Wa-wa-wait what do you mean first set?" I ask back astounded

"Well since Gabrielle's prophecy predicts 14 angels and you already have 5 soul rings, I thought I would order two new sets. Then you can have a ring for every fiancee." Iris says teasingly, she then holds up the ornate box. "I haven't looked at the rings yet, but will you choose one for me?" She asks, batting her eyes.
