Spiritless Life

Life Ruling

Karam looked out passed the blinds. If this was her before she'd have sighed and felt drug down by how slow he was being. But now she didn't feel anything. She simply felt... at peace. She'd felt this way since she woke. She didn't feel one way or another about having eaten the greg horn or how it changed her. Nor did she feel anything about anything else.

She didn't have any desires or wishes. All she knows is that

"With everything I've just told you, you think I'm unable to read your form? It was created how spiritualists create other spiritualists.

"Spiritualists and Formers are made differently, I could tell before I even laid eye on you."

"Before?"

"Oh, yes, I can sense things now." Karam closed her eyes and touched the carriage, "Everything is made of the same materials, deep down. I can even feel dolph's mouth moving... Mimi and Doll are talking about why I changed. Doll is explaining to her what happened when I ate the Greg Horn." Karam's eyebrow lifted, "Looks like Hakase has some sort of magic."

"Are you pulling my leg? Wait, who?"

Karam opened her eyes, "Where did you learn that saying from?"

"I'm asking if you are making a joke."

"I know what it means. Where did you learn it?" As far as she knew, that was a saying she's found only on Earth.

"Pharrell came up with it. He thinks of a whole bunch of weird things." Rashid smiled. Karam could feel the happiness seeping off of him, it was obvious he was in love.

Karam wanted to feel happy for him, or at least sad that she didn't love like that anymore; not even Dolph. But she couldn't feel either of those things. Instead, her mind was already moving and deducing from his words even further into the relationship of the three fathers.

"Oh? I didn't know Parrell was so assertive? He came onto you?" She observed. Rashid wouldn't be so full of... adoration for just any 'cutie'. She didn't tell him about her old world or that it wasn't Pharrell who'd made up al those 'weird things'.

"Wait-" Rashid was already in another place, "I volunteered, but I don't even know what you're doing. Or why you guys are all..." Rashid looked Karam up and down, getting his point across with a glance.

"We are going undercover. Of course, you don't need to." Jer didn't need to either, but she most certainly couldn't have left him so young. Who knows what kind of trouble he would get into? Or what she would have to teach him just to get him to obey? There's also the fact that he is, technically, still her fiance. She didn't want her fiance around her copy... Who knows what weird shit they would get into trouble for? Was sex before marriage not allowed? Or... did they have sex at all? She wasn't sure.

She had knowledge galore, but culture... she had to learn that step-by-step.

Dolph, after he calmed down from his freak out, told her she had to either stay- or create another Karam to stay in the castle out of thin air. She went for the second option. She'd copied her mind or 'conscious' into a body she'd made to look like the young her and put it inside. Without the power stull granted by the greg horn, it'll be like she'd never left. She even made a second Dolph- Though that one was, admittedly, more tricky.

Karam couldn't copy any mind apart from her own. She put a consciousness in the fake Dolph and 'aged' it, but that didn't change the fat that it didn't know anything. It was going to have to be led by the nose for the next few years- at least- by the Karam-copy.

While she was at it, she took her other world's memories from her copy, and gave her copy a few extra characteristics... just a few things that will make her more 'Saviour of the Kingdoms' material. It will start manifesting as she grows. She will live her life thinking she's just some genius. She will 'make up' more treats, and 'dream' about technology. As Maraak deems it necessary, it will be released into the world. Her mother and father won't even notice. The sisters might realize something but Karam wasn't worried. If anything came up, Maraak would take care of it.

For now, she focused on the road ahead. Saving the world. It's going to be a lot easier than she thought. So far, she estimated a week- adding a couple days for any of the problems that might arise. Of course, she's gone over millions of possibilities and considering each and every single one.

She can see everything that's happening. And make 'educated guesses' which are more like 'divinations' to see how it could possibly play out. Every little thing going on in her kingdom- she knows about. As if she were watching an ant crawl around on her palm.

Seeing as their kingdom is the only contact they have--and her new-found abilities--she literally has the world in her hand. It's just a matter of pushing the right buttons, at this point.

Karam politely smiled to Rashid's question and calmly explained what 'undercover' means.

She had the world in her hand. Yet she didn't feel the slightest sliver of emotion towards it, one way or another. Even without feelings, she would save it. She would to the right thing- because she knew that's what the previous Karam would have done, what she wanted. After that?

Karam didn't know, but she didn't hate the idea of a golden crown. She didn't hate it... at all.
