Wandering Souls

Eclipse Association Mage Tower, Delmar City

On the same day, Little Soul arrived in Delmar City Lord Nisus Bell was in his office signing a few documents on his table. When suddenly you're the knock on his door.

"You may come in" seen entering the room was Lord Velar holding a glowing orb in his hand that kept changing color. It looked like he captured a rainbow in the sphere.

"Nisus the task force I had assembled has discovered the source of the disturbance a few days ago".

putting down his paperwork Nisus looked at velar " that's great news now then tell me what did you find". He states as he leaned back in his chair.

"The source of the disturbance was a large cluster of Souls. We found them more than a week's journey away from Delmar City. "

"Souls, how could there possibly be a large cluster of wandering souls here? could some magi have set them loose here or is it another strange phenomenon as a result of that bygone era?

" I cannot fully confirm nor deny this was purposely done by a group of rogue Magi or just another new thing our world has decided to plague us with but this might actually be a blessing in disguise".

"A blessing what do you mean explain yourself?".

"look for yourself and you will see" velar handed the colorful spear two Nisus. As he inspected it he noticed what was wrong with the souls inside.

He was flabbergast because there were thousands of different souls but, thousands of souls alone would never make someone like him speechless he could reap that many lives in a sing breath. What astounded him was that not a single soul belonged to their world.

"Velar this its a gold mine with all these souls we could concur so many worlds. The number of resources this will bring the Eclipse association will be endless". Before Nisus could start daydreaming Velar popped his bubble".

"That is exactly what I thought when I first discovered the souls, the same with the other magi around me. That's when it turned into a race to collect the most souls any none aggregation pact we had was immediately put on hold it was a complete free for all, a few rank one magi ended up dying. We ended up losing three rank 1 magi the loss was not great but it still stung.

After I collected as many souls as I could in the area things finally settled down giving me the chance to inspect the souls I captured fully. That's when I discovered there were no plane coordinates on any of the souls I captured". Velar had a look of disappointment after saying that.

"What no plane coordinates we lost 3 magi and got nothing" Nisus furred his brow in pain getting a headache from such a loss if he got the coordinates then it would have been more than worth it.

"I don't know if any of the other magi got lucky either way we were only able to harvest a small amount of them. There are possibly many more wandering souls still out there".

Hearing this Nisus saw hope "than what are you still doing here go back out there and collect more souls". Sternly stated as he slammed his palm on the table.

"I left many capable magi to collect the souls outside so you need not worry, the magi set to manage their clan's side branch here are at best rank 2. Not many have the liberty to put a rank 3 magi in to look over a place like the Eclipse Association. I doubt those clans even felt the need to send a rank 3 magi over only sending the bare minimum per the agreement. Even then the people sent to manage the area might not even have a chance to leave, having lower rank magi do it.

The reason I came back was because of these souls uniqueness, you see while inspecting the souls that I captured I also discovered they act like parasites. They are capable of possessing living things and objects just like normal souls can, but unlike a normal wandering soul they are bound to whatever they possess.

Another abnormality is their sentience usually a wandering soul goes mad becoming uncontrollable these souls all have a clear mind. In addition, which is the worst part since these souls have no plane coordinate, they are somehow able to obtain the plane coordinates to our world making it as though they were born here".

What Nisus shot out of his chair when he heard the last part "that is extremely bad those things could invade the city and we would not know".

Velar already knowing how Nisus would react simply continued "that's exactly why I came back these things are a potential threat, how big I have no idea.

"We should increase security at Memorial wall and have the guards detain anyone that appears suspicious trying to enter even if they don't get a response from the seekers gate. Also, anyone who gets detained for any reason has to answer questions about history, geography, the latest trends and other stuff like that. Anyone who fails has to be checked by an official Magi before they can leave. Nisus doubted anyone of those Souls would be of those souls could answer those questions about the world so soon.

He also didn't like what he heard one bit, if the souls could change their plane coordinate then it would be almost impossible to find one if they take over a human body or the body of something else.

He could dive deep into a person's body and enter their core finding them out that way but, regular humans will die if someone does that and it's not only against the law to inspect a magi's core unless they were convicted for something highly offensive by the Morpheus council,The Pantheon of Valdora or in violation of contract with their clan. No magi would willingly let someone inspect their core or their body. Trying to do so would only make you a powerful enemy or get you killed.

"I will make a report to the chairman about this incident. Return to clover forest and collect more souls a few of them have to contain plane coordinates. I will also be experimenting with these souls while you're gone then I'll interrogate them see what these souls know. Poor things maintaining their sentience even after death only to suffer more because of it".With a devious grin, Nisus begins laughing maniacally.
