what does it mean to have a soul?

"Where am i!" Luxia shot up as she looked around the room. A large curtain had been wrapped around her bed as it seemed like she had been severely injured. The room was dark and silent. With crickets screeching softly. "Greand? Elisia?" She said, Trying to call out someone. But no one replied. Frowning. She unwrapped the blanket around her. But before she stood up. She saw a thick purple like liquid running up her veins through her. Arm. Her heart beated faster as she rubbed her eyes. Yet still the strange substance persisted.
"No," she said. Softly panicking as she looked around. "I must be in a coma or something" she thought. Trying to scratch it out of her arm. Her breath became faster and heavier as her thoughts ran through her head. "How? No why? Where am i?" She held her hands against her face covering her eyes. But before she could say another word. A voice from beyond the dark appeared. "To have a soul.. what a wonderful piece to own.." it sighed. "Yet in this plane between worlds. It would be difficult to achieve such a thing would it not?" It inquired. Luxia held her mouth slightly open as she tried to figure out where it came from. "It's ok. I won't hurt you. Infact. I cannot. Because I do not exist. My body has long decayed with everyone I ever had known. Except for one person. But we will get to that later.." luxia became more anxious and started to pick her fingers "what are you?"
Silence filled the air for a good minute before it replied. "The deity you once held close to, '' the voice said. But before luxia could ask for more questions. She shot up once again. This time, lying in a bed next to someone else. Her skin felt hot and was drenched in sweat. Tears softly ran down her cheek before she could grasp that people were trying to calm her down. Her vision remained blurry before she could see Zelana holding her by her arm telling her its ok. "There was this -and i-" luxia tried to make a sentence. But due to the unexplainable event that had occured. She could not figure out what it was.. "Here, take this," elisia said. Giving her a glass of water, luxia anxiously accepted and gulped it down slowly. "Where is greand,?" She asked. Elisia and Zelana looked at each other before replying. "He suffered a bad concussion and is currently being treated" luxia looked down in guilt, noticing that the strange purple liquid had disappeared from her arm, she looked back up and asked, "so.. what now?"
"That is the question." Elisia replied, glancing at zelana. "We can shelter at the church orphanage for the time being before renovations are completed..,'' Zelana said. Glancing towards the rose. "I have brought lanei there too.. just to be safe.." luxia nodded, "and most of the children from the mansion are there too, guarded by the jormungers." "Any news on cilliya?" She asked curiously." Zelana sighed as the man laying next to luxia grunted in pain. "after the conflict in the palace. Cilliya ingested a strange liquid that infected her whole body. While granting her strength during fights. Her body seemed to be deteriorating at a faster pace.. well not physically. But she should be stable now.... Hopefully." Elisia scratched his neck while glancing to luxia "don't Try to rush things ok.. and i am sorry for what i said back at the pala-" luxia held her hand up while pointing her finger at elisia's mouth. "Tut tut tut. What happened there is something we forget and move on." Elisia raised his eyebrow in surprise, "ok. Your wish is my command my lady ""well.. luxia when you are ready, get dressed. I have something already laid out for you. We will be waiting in the rest lounge. Luxia kindly nodded while raising a hand up, "thank you.."

As elisia and zelana left the room, she looked around, she noticed a pair of clothes hanging on a rack next to the far right cabinet, softly smiling, she looked out of the window on her left which emitted a slight haze inside the room, looking down again, clenching her fist but releasing as she exhaled deeply, "whatever will happen in the future, im sure to make everything right, from now on, i have to forget my past, for sure..." clenching her teeth before continuing, "i hope.."

"Oh there she is, looking like a queen again.. Sorry I could not find anything better, miss kreinheard.. Some of the things that we brought were hand overs from the people here." zelana said, glancing back to luxia who exited the building. Her stark white dress blinded her as the accessories made of different kinds of flowers gave her an angelic look. Luxia smiled, shaking her head in denial. "No, I actually love it.. Thank you." zelana smiled brightly before elisia appeared out from behind the carriage that he was preparing, "this will do but-" he was cut short before noticing luxia happily swaying her dress side to side.. "Well.. would you look at that.. '' he said in a nostalgic tone. Reminiscing about her mother.. "It is not a far of a stretch so we will be there in a short time." elisia said, patting his coat.. Zelana glanced towards his silver wolf shoulder plate which was strapped to his right shoulder. "If I may ask.. Why do you wear that? Is it not heavy?"

Elisia grinned.. "I got it as a medal back home.. I keepsake it to remember what I am worth so.." zelana pushed her lip up and nodded, "Well I'm lucky to have met such gentlemen then.." elisia awkwardly grinned before shaking his head, "well.. Anyways.. We should get going.. luxia come." he said, gesturing to her to enter the carriage.. Luxia nodded and stepped in, zelana glanced towards elisia, giving him a look down while slowly looking up.. Before also stepping in the carriage.. Elisia awkwardly smiled before turning back and stepping up the carriage seat and grabbing the leash, smiling while looking out towards the winter sun.. sighing.." maybe things will turn out for the better..

Luxia looked out of the window, staring at the frozen lake.. "I sense a romantic relationship growing,.." she boldly said.. Still glancing out of the window.. Zelana shot up and avoided eye contact while simultaneously fringing her hand.. "It is not like that.." she said. Trying to sound inconspicuous.. Luxia could only chuckle softly.. "Alright.. Whatever you say.". Zelana could not help but smile too.. Yet still she held her breath as she murmured, "it really is not like that..."
