The girl has now stayed for over 3 months in the dark room. After leaving that day, the dark haired man came to check on her recovery and went back after doing it.
It has been over 2 weeks since her conversation with Litch and Shadow, and 2 weeks since she knew about their powers. Now, she is learning how to assess her surroundings without her eyes. She needs to find a way as her eyes can not be used anymore.
The fog is still hovering above her eyes. However unlike the last time, they have become lighter and are spread like a blind fold.
Celestine is trying to release a thread of darkness, so that she can hear where she is, but it all proves to be useless.
However, today, she was not practicing. The girl was still lying on the bed but now, color could be seen on her cheeks. Her parted lips represent happiness. Her soul was still immersed in the bliss of having two new friends. Their bickering is like the way siblings fight.
Sometimes she takes the side of Litch, sometimes she takes the side of Shadow. It was entertaining, a little bit exhausting, but entertaining. Today those two are calling each other animal names and explaining why they are called so. In the middle of bickering, a thought flashed to her.
She slowly channelised her power through her fingers. She thought of how the bats emit supersonic waves to identify their food or obstacles on the way. Since she cannot use them as eyes, then using them like bats should work.
A few strings of black fog were coming out from her fingers. Those threads combined together, and spread around as a blanket. With her as the center, the blanket slowly spreads in all directions.
It filled all corners of the rooms, but surprisingly, it was not trying to run outside. The fog filled inside the room was not suffocating to her. Every surface it touched, could be felt. There was a rough sketch created inside her mind.
The picture was blurred, but it gave a rough sketch of her environment. The bed was a simple block of stone, and she was lying at the center. There were no decorations on the room wall. The only thing in this room other than her bed was a table and a chair.
The thing on the table could not be seen nor could it be felt. But, she can feel an energy coming out of it. It was not flowing or frozen, but rather like a chain. She felt she could untangle the chain, but something seemed to be lacking.
It was like you can solve the puzzle, but you don't know where to put one middle piece.
It was a progress compared to when she could not even make the power release from her hands.
While she was feeling happy about her progress in the use of powers, she felt the fog fluctuating. It looked as if a wave of wind blew, and disturbed it. The next thing she saw was a silhouette. It was of a man.
As usual, the man was going to check on her condition, however, today was different. Today, before the man could come towards her, a happy voice sounded from the Celestine.
"You came back? I was waiting."
The man froze for a moment, but then he blinked and a smile slowly appeared on her face. The smile reached to the depths of his eyes.
"DARLING !!! My baby, my precious... I am so happy... "
*giggle* The girl was happy. She can see the blurred vision of his dramatic expression. One time he had his hands on his lips, and the other time, he was putting his hand on his heart as if he could faint from a heart attack anytime.
"*Muah* Oh my baby, Darling, your smile is so pretty. Always be happy."
The man swung his hand a little, and a small ray of black mixed with her black fog. The ray mixed with her and got absorbed inside her. It took a few seconds. No one knew what he did.
" Darling, can you see properly now?"
" It- it is a little blurry, but I ... I made progress so- so do not leave ... "
"Stop, stop, stop... What are you trying to say darling?"
"... "
The man stood by her side and softly rubbed her head. She could feel a warm hand rubbing her head. She could feel the peace and comfort which was offered by a single rub of hand.
"Calm down child. This is your life. This is you. You do not need to make anyone happy anymore. You can do whatever you desire now."
"Sob"
"Let it out. Do not think about upsetting things. And, now that you can feel, you will now need to see and hear through it. Consider it as you. The way you move, the way you hear, the way you see, everything. When you are able to create something like that, properly, then I will be back and teach you more."
"*sniff* O-okay."
