Survive (Discontinued)

Chapter 40: Shadow's P.O.V

I watched as his hand burned away. He tried to hurt my friend. Pain was inevitable but you wouldn't feel it till you saw it. The past few months and weeks I have been watching over someone. Hoping to save them, I did, I said they were related. Magnem was strange but I was okay with that. Ufurious reminded me of someone but I couldn't place it. And Kooliparie and I had grown closer.

"Welcome, young child. I've been waiting for your arrival."

"Who are you?!" I shouted.

"Ugh... seriously, people these days are so boring. I was hoping to get to know you properly before we discussed names. Eh, whatever, um... yeah, okay. I'm Teliver. No, I'm not related to Trexivor, I get that question a lot. My parents simply liked his name and I ended up having to drown in that sorrow. Besides that though, how was your day going." His voice was easy going and kind. I wanted to kill him.

"My life is horrible and I would like to ask who you are?"

"Oh, funny question, you see, I already answered you."

"No, what you look like." I commented trying to convince him.

"Alright, fine, I'll show you." Then I saw his shape as features began to form. He was handsome, tall, black hair, black eyes, a pale complexion. Well, in all honesty, how would he be tan if he stayed in a place like this. I mean legit the only thing I could see was myself and him. Wow, now it sounds like I'm fantasizing.

"You look nice." I said.

"As do you. I could only hear your voice from my domain." He said and I looked at him with a confused expression.

"So, what now?"

"Sit down."

"How do you sit down?"

"Just like you would normally."

I tried to sit down but failed.

•••Flashback End•••

Stestial, I'm sorry for what I did to you. Because I'm a spirit I have the ability to pull spirits from the spirit realm at my own command. Since I was away those few months I had learned how do to many things. I couldn't say anything because I was also visiting a futuristic place. The place had lost technology and my people no longer existed. You became a Warrior instead of a Shadowar. A Shatee instead of a Cutsamoto. A Skelltin instead of a Skullian. Al of their ways were different but it was probably for the better.

Anyways, I had drawn the soul of a dead wraith but I also mixed it with a dragon seal. So basically I just concocted a very deadly soul. Since there's an order to the spirit realm I can control the fate of the souls. I am a Drawing Class-Spirit. Basically whatever I desire for a spirit will happen.

"What are you?!" Teluka asked with fear and anxiety.

"I have allowed Stestial to house a wraith with a dragon seal."

"What does that even mean?!"

"Really? Really? How stupid are you people?!"

"Hey, I'm right here!" Stestial yelled feigning innocence.

"Right..." I paused because I was unsure of what to say then it came to my mind. "Please keep all hands off of my friend as you will find your body will turn to ash if you lay another finger on her. Have a nice day, good-bye."

"What's your pick? Take it or leave it. The girl is mine. Only I am allowed to touch her." The spirit spoke darkly and Teluka ran off from fear but I didn't want him thinking he was free. Removing the dragon seal I allowed the wraith to follow him.

"Hey, Stes, do you want front row seats to his embarrassment party?"

"What did you do Shadow?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Yeah, I totally believe you." She said sarcastically and then stood up. "What that spirit said about only being allowed to touch me-"

"Don't worry about that, he's only claiming his host, after that he leaves when I tell him to."

"So, I won't have to worry about-"

"Mikal, no. If anyone else touches you though, I've bound that spirit to come to your aid. Only Mikal and your future children or family can touch you. The dragon seal isn't with them at the present second because they have to go take care of Teluka."

"So, what exactly is the wraith thing gonna do?"

"Simply make him get undressed, fully, then go dance outside in the garden area where everyone will be waiting because they got an invitation to come outside."

"Now that's just mean."

"I could do worse."

"Like what?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"No, not really."

"Good answer." I said and opened the window. With the light filtering in, my silhouette sparkled.

"Shadow, I've missed you." Stestial stood up and walked towards me. She went to give me a hug but her arms went through me. "Shadow I-" but I cut her off.

"Don't, it's okay, I know you've missed me but I can't let you touch me, not for right now at least."

"O-okay, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize!"

"Fine, but I can't deny the fact that I miss you and really want to give you a hug."

"As much as I would love for that to happen," I cleared my throat and then continued, "I simply can't allow it. You are my friend, yes, I just don't want you to get hurt. When you are through with your pregnancy then I will let you hug me but I can not risk injury to your children."

"Alright, fine, you win."

"Thank you, Stes, I really missed you too."

After that we looked out the window and saw a nude Teluka dancing while everyone laughed. He tried to cover himself but failed. The wraith came back and I implanted the dragon seal once again. The spirit followed Stestial without her realization. No one saw the guardian spirit following her.

Only spirits can see spirits. If the spirit has a flesh form then you can see that but you can never see the true form. A spirit can allow a mortal to see them, that's what I did.

"Stestial! Hurry up and get out here!" A female voice yelled for Stestial.

"Shadow, hide." Stestial said but I shook my head. She went to the door and walked outside. I passed through the door and she stared at me with fear.

"What are you looking at?! There's nothing there!" The female continued shouting.

"Oh, nothing, sorry, what is it?" Stestial asked kindly and apologetically.

"What did Teluka do to you? I know he did because he lost his hand. Not from natural causes though, it was burned away. It can only happen like that if a spirit Caller forced a dragon seal upon another spirit. I assume the dragon seal is with you." The female just looked at Stestial with a blank face, no emotion was shown.
