Soul Resonance Part I

As the knowledge of the first part of Soul Resonance flowed into Lug, the pain accompanying it was intense and piercing. Each piece of information was like a sharp blade cutting through his mind and soul, bringing unbearable agony. The pain was overwhelming, and Lug found himself considering giving up, seeking relief from the consuming suffering.

The figure by his side, sensing Lug's internal dilemma, enveloped him in a comforting glow and lightly touched his shoulder.

"I understand the pain you're feeling, Lug," she whispered with compassion. "The first part of Soul Resonance is a trial, an initiation to unlock your true potential. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and question if it's worth continuing."

Lug looked at the figure, struggling to hold back the tears threatening to escape his eyes. He was physically and emotionally exhausted, and the temptation to give up was irresistible.

"It... it's too much," Lug murmured, his voice trembling. "The pain... I don't know if I can bear it. Maybe I'm not strong enough."

The figure held Lug's hands, looking deeply into his eyes. Her voice carried a mix of understanding and encouragement.

"Lug, the pain you're feeling right now is temporary. It's a testament to your commitment and determination to seek the power of Soul Resonance. You've overcome many challenges in your past life, and I believe in you. Your potential is limitless, but it can only be unlocked if you persist beyond this momentary pain."

The figure's words echoed in Lug's mind, resonating with the truth he knew was within him. He had faced adversity in the past and overcome seemingly impossible obstacles. He didn't want to give up now, when he was so close to discovering his true potential.

With a deep sigh, Lug gathered his courage and strengthened himself. He chose to confront the pain, embracing it as a necessary challenge to attain the power he sought.

"I... I won't give up," Lug declared, his voice filled with determination. "I will face this pain and continue. I know there is something incredible waiting for me beyond it."

The figure smiled with pride and relief, a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

"I'm proud of you, Lug," she said. "Remember that I'm by your side, guiding you and supporting you every step of the way. The pain you're facing now is temporary, and the rewards that await you are immeasurable."

With renewed determination, Lug gathered all his strength and turned his attention to the pain surrounding him. He channeled his courage and perseverance, willing to face every difficult moment to achieve the power of Soul Resonance.

As the pain persisted, Lug found strength in the idea that he was transforming, growing, and becoming a more powerful version of himself. He knew that by going through this trial, he would emerge on the other side with greater mastery over his abilities.

While Lug continued his ordeal, outside the room where he was, Elysia, who had just entered, watched with deep concern. She could clearly see the discomfort and suffering Lug was enduring, and without a second thought, she shouted to the other servants to call for healers.

Elysia: Quick! Fetch the medical help immediately! His Highness needs assistance!

Elysia: Quick! Go get medical help immediately! His Highness needs urgent assistance!

Servant: Oh, my goodness! I'll run as fast as I can and get medical help!

Elysia: Do it immediately! Every second counts! We need help!

The servant, visibly shaken, hurriedly leaves the room to seek medical assistance. Her face shows fear that if something happens, Elysia will take it out on her.

Elysia stays by Lug's side, holding his hand tenderly and conveying reassurance, although her own concern is visible in her eyes.

The minutes felt endless as Elysia waited for the healers to arrive. She wished with all her heart that they could bring relief to Lug and help him...

Finally, the healers arrived and immediately began assessing Lug's condition, checking his vital signs and looking for any indication of physical problems. Elysia watched anxiously, waiting for news about Lug's state.

The healers carefully examined Lug, conducting tests and checking his vital signs. Elysia, anxious and worried, watched their every move closely, hoping for any sign of improvement or diagnosis.

After a few moments of intense evaluation, the healers gathered for a low conversation. Elysia could feel the tension in the air and the growing expectation.

Finally, one of the healers approached Elysia, their expression sorrowful, reflecting frustration and uncertainty.

Healer: Lady Elysia, we regret to inform you that, so far, we don't have a clear diagnosis for His Highness's condition. His intense pain and symptoms don't match any known physical affliction. We are puzzled and concerned about the situation.

Upon hearing those words, a mixture of despair and anger surged through Elysia. She felt a wave of frustration and helplessness in the face of Lug's suffering and uncertainty.

Elysia: What do you mean you don't know? He's in agony! You are healers, you should have answers! Do whatever it takes, perform more tests, consult other specialists, but find a solution!

Elysia's anger was intense, and her emotional outburst sent a shiver of fear down the healers' spines. Her sharp words and threatening tone echoed through the room, leaving them fearful for their own lives.

Healer, trembling: "Lady Elysia, we... we understand the gravity of the situation. We will redouble our efforts and explore every possible option. We will do our best to find a solution and alleviate His Majesty's suffering."

Elysia stared at the healers with a penetrating gaze, her expression stern, conveying a mix of challenge and expectation. Her voice resonated in the room with a tense tone and a warning.

Elysia: For the sake of everyone in this room, I sincerely hope you find a way to relieve His Highness's suffering and bring him back to health. He is a precious part of my life, and any negligence or inaction will have severe consequences.

The healers felt the weight of Elysia's words and the seriousness of her intentions. They knew they were facing a determined woman willing to do whatever it took to protect the one she loved.

As the tension continued to hang in the air, Elysia remained vigilant, awaiting the healers to fulfill their promise and work tirelessly to find a cure for Lug. The hope of a positive outcome was all that kept her strong in the face of uncertainty and fear.

At the same time in Lug Trials, after recovering from the intense pain, Lug found the strength to continue his journey through Soul Resonance. He stood up, determined to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

The accompanying figure smiled with pride, recognizing Lug's resilience and courage.

"Now you understand, Lug," she said. "The pain you felt was just the beginning. But you've overcome this first stage, and I'm confident you can overcome anything that still awaits."

Lug nodded, regaining his determination. He knew there was much more to discover and learn about Soul Resonance. With the guidance of the figure and his own will to grow, he was ready to face the next trials.

As Lug moved forward to the next stage of the trial, he came across a dark and narrow corridor. The walls seemed to pulsate with mysterious energy, and the air was charged with tension.

The figure stood by Lug's side, offering silent support. She gestured for him to move forward, encouraging him to trust himself.

Lug took a deep breath and entered the corridor. As he progressed, darkness seemed to engulf him, making him question his own existence. Doubts and fears arose in his mind, attempting to undermine his confidence.

However, Lug remembered his past achievements, the battles he had already won. He drew upon those memories to find courage and push forward.

As he walked through the corridor, the environment around him began to change. The darkness gave way to a bright and dazzling light, and the sounds of whispers and laughter echoed through the hallways.

Lug found himself in a grand hall filled with mirrors that stretched as far as the eye could see. His reflection appeared in each mirror, but in each image, he looked different.
