133 Back In The Saddle

Nestled within the core of Reed's soul was a cache of knowledge that'd been hidden away from him. Akin to a bank's vault, Lu'um and Lacrima had poured a literal fortune's worth of knowledge within Reed's soul and sealed it away in secret.

A small contingency plan they'd devised back during Reed's trainee days. Had the impossible happened; an unforeseen calamity take them out, he'd still have the necessary knowledge to continue walking down his path unhindered by their deaths.

Some might've called their back up too hasty and superstitious, given how immature Reed had been at the time, but both of them knew better than to rely on the whims of fate.

While Reed had slept, they'd slowly gave his slumbering, injured soul the general gist of everything that it'd need to know in for the future. Had both of them died, Reed's soul would have carefully revealed bit and pieces in the form of prophetic dreams and visions to guide Reed along his destined path.
