Undefeated Miracles

Body pains

The familiar tensing of London's body took him away from his work at his bedroom desk. He grunted before standing up, trying to relieve some of the pain he was feeling. He felt his muscles cramp and his jaw lock as his eyes squeezed tight. His body was pulsing with energy that surrounded him. It dove in and out of his vessels and bones, tightening his skin and pulling his muscles. 

His ears popped and his nose began to bleed from the pressure. This happened a lot. And as quickly as it came. The pain stopped. The sensation took all feeling away from his body and he dropped onto the floor in a heap of limps and skin. 

"You should really get that fixed." Lloyd's voice rang in London's head. London rolled his eyes with the little control he had left. He felt his body buzzing, signaling that his power was coming back. He propped himself up against the foot of his bead. His head rested against the wood as he closed his eyes and sighed. 

"You don't say," London spat annoyed and Lloyd's useless comments. 

"I'm just saying. No need to be rude," Lloyd poofed in front of London. He lay floating on his pack, with his hands behind his head. Appearing as a small spirit allowed Lloyd to be seen by London. However, this only worked with London and Lloyd couldn't interact with any one else. 

"Will you just go away," London said, swatting the small Lloyd away, only for his hands to go through Lloyd like a hologram. The impact did push Lloyd away and fog his spirit like self up. London got up and walked back over to his desk and took a book from his desk drawer. 

"Oh sure." Lloyd rolled his eyes, floating on top of the book London was holding. "Oh wait I can't because someone decided to steal my body." 

London rolled his eyes before blowing the dust and Lloyd off the book, revealing the book title. "Anyal's Body Stealing" shined in big gold letters on the leather journal. Lloyd coughed as he inhaled some of the dust. 

"And for your information, this journal should allow me to get rid of the pains," London said matter of factly, taking a seat at this desk, propping his feet on the table. Lloyd folded his arms over his chest and floated onto London's shoulder to get a look. 

London opened the book and on the very first page, a paper fell out onto London's lap. London picked it up and unfolded it to reveal a map with a large X on a random spot. 

"I'm assuming that is important?" Lloyd asked, floating closer to it. London shrugged before placing the folded map  back onto the table. He began to read the words on the pages. 

If you have received this journal, you are in grave danger. The body you have taken over is turning on you. The pain you are feeling will soon destroy your soul and person, giving the original their body back. To prevent this, you must do one of two things. 

Proceed in the ritual of repentance where you give the body back and beg for forgiveness

"I think this ritual is an amazing idea don't you think?" Lloyd said sweetly, staring up at London. London scoffed before continuing to read. 

Or you proceed in the ritual of completion where you eliminate the original soul, allowing yourself to hold all the control. 

"A life without you bothering me? What do I need to do," London laughed as he saw Lloyd's face drop. 

Both ways are listed in this journal, however neither is easy to complete. To do either of these rituals you must acquire items from all over the realms. yes. The items need are in multiple different realms, and hopefully for you, you have access to these realms. 

"Wasn't the realm crystal destroyed?" Lloyd mentioned, recalled the memories of when he epically and awesomely shattered the crystal. London shook his head. 

"Nothing a little oni magic couldn't fix. It looks good as new, and better yet, it's purple now," London smiled as Lloyd furrowed his brows in a mix of sadness and anger. "I'll have my men search for these items by tomorrow, and I bet in less than a week, you'll be gone for good." London flicked Lloyd, sending Lloyd's body back into his mind and destroying his visual spirit. 

Lloyd grumbled angrily, fists tight in balls as he muttered. "We shall see about that."
