The beginning

It was that time of the month again. The time of the Spirits' monthly meeting. During that meeting they were discussing the general direction in which humanity was heading. Or in more simple terms,they were gathering to nag about the human kind.

"The percentage of divorces has gone up again? Look at the number of abortions. And dont get me started on family problems in general."

Mary was indeed in a very bad mood:

"The situation is most serious. This kind of performance is unacceptable.And the problem seems to be especially serious in world 333243."

Angelica was in the same bad mood(not that he showed it).

"Agreed.But what can we do? What more can we do? Have a Spirit guard every bond of the human kind?"

"We dont have that kind of resources."

"It was sarcasm,Maryl."

Meanwhile somewhere else,someone very important was listening,whose name will remain hidden..for now.

"Have a spirit guard every bond of the human kind? Not a bad idea. But all important things start from small seemingly insignificant ones."

After that a light exploded and a few moments later a woman appeared. Beautiful with black hair and blue eyes.

"Daughter"

"Greetings.Why do I feel an emptiness inside?"

"Look below."

A mass of green and blue was visible.

"This is earth. The home of humans. They used to be happy. But now they are not. They are destroying the most precious thing that they ever created. Their bonds. Their relationships. I have a plan to help them. And you are the first step towards that new salvation. You are special. You can see inside a human's soul in a way that no human can,regardless of their ability or intuition.I want you to go down to Earth and pick a bond to protect,guard and guide. You can pick whoever you want."

"Any relationship?"

"Yes but you must choose wisely because you will have only one choice."

"Yes father. I will not fail you."

"Your concern should be not to fail yourself. Not me."

"What is my name?"

"That remains to be decided. Your name should be fitting to the bond you will choose."

MISSION:ACQUIRE BOND

One week later

This was harder than she thought it would be. Thank the Spirits she could teleport. The situation was more tragic that she had imagined it would be.

She was getting tired. Right now she was in England London. She had found out that she enjoyed travelling with bike. It was most relaxing. During the ride she was monitoring the energy levels of people's souls and she was getting more disappointed by the second so she wasnt paying attention to the road. The next thing she knew she was lying on the road with a big headache and a man was hovering over her. He was wearing black and he had red hair. He wore sunglasses on a cloudy day. Most peculiar indeed.

She had to admit that his scores were very impressive.Most humans didnt went past 70% in terms of stability.Too bad her talents didnt reveal more about his character.

"Watch where you are going miss."

It was unfortunate that his character wasnt as impressive as his soul.

"What did you say? Listen here mister,you hit me."

"No,you hit me."

"You got some nerve sir accusing this lovely lass for causing the accident."

A nice young man stepped in to help her. She looked at his soul instinctively

SOUL ENERGY:5000 UNITS

STABILITY:47%

COMMITMENT:5%

She didn't need to see further into his soul. These scores were close to pathetic. With this kind of commitment he was probably cheating on his girlfriend for months.

You would be suprised by how many secrets a person's soul can reveal. The strange thing was that her instincts were on high alert and so were her feelings. She felt strange. Like a man who is searching for gold but only finds rocks and then suddenly sees a light from the top of a mountain from where the rays of the sun hit the precious gold but the man can not find the precise location of the gold beacuse the light goes on and off. She was sure. Yes,finally she had found the bond she was searching for. Or at least half of it. But they were in central London with dozens of people. No the presence was steady. It was either the young man that was defending her or the irresponsible driver that hit her. How nice choices. Her bad mood must have influenced her insticts.No that was not possible. The driver must be the one she is searching for. Only his scores are close to her standards.

"Cant you see the lady is in so deep shock that she cant speak?"

"I'm fine,sir. I'm sure this "good" man would want to have a cup of coffe with me instead of me becoming such a drama queen in the middle of central London that my performance would put Shakespeare's actors to shame."

"What? Ok,you are lucky im in a good mood today. Get in. I know a place. But only for an hour. And then i will pretend i never met you."

"We will see."

The poor man thought she was hitting on him but she just wanted more time with his soul. The more time she spends analyzing a soul the more information she gathers. But his soul was a bit different from those of other humans. It was difficult to be read. Like it wasnt human or at least not completely. But something made her fell happy and excited like she just won the lottery.

A few moments later

"Okay,spit it out woman. Usually im pretty good at readying people but it seems you are the exception."

Lack of modesty. We didnt start well.And if we add anger,impatience and crankiness in the end she was starting to fear that she maybe got overexcited due to his soul's score. But all wasnt lost yet.She made the decision to go as deep as possible.

"Lets not get hasty. First i must see if you can indeed help me. An hour is more than enough for me to realise that. Sorry you didnt tell me your name,you practically kept silent during the entire ride."

"Anthony. And yours?"

That was a problem. Normally when people asked her she said a random name because she knew she wouldn't see them again. But this was different. They might meet again and she couldn't just change her name everyday.

"Oh right. You said in the car your name was Angelica. Stange. I'm not the forgetful type."

That was weird. She really liked that name but she was sure she hadn't said anything in the car. Then suddenly the phone rang and Anthony picked it up.

And her instincts woke again.What was happening? Oh no. She spent so much time analyzing his soul that she neglected her own defence. One of his bond was trying to connect with her. It was too late to stop it now.

Thats it.

SOUL PENETRATION 23%

BOND INTERGATION:33%

She had to act fast. There is a small amount if time when one interacts with another that their bond is exposed to the outer layers of the soul.She had to take control of the bond even at this point because if she doesnt...it will destroy them both. She had made up her mind. The next part was the hard on. Luckily Anthony was rude and was talking quite a lot on the phone in front of her. They would have to work on that. She had to "grab" the bond,in a sense, with her life energy.Like the humans plug their cellphones in a charger. After that the connection would be permanent. She would feel the bond,control it but also be affected by it. If the bond is damaged so will her body.

SOUL PENETRATION:87%

BOND INTERGATION:76%

There was no turning back now,so she made the biggest decision of her life and connected.

The bond was definitely a masterpiece,a real diamond. Now all she had to do was find Raphael. Her connection to the bond was now secure and stable but she would like to analyze her second source's soul as well.

Anthony finally hanged up.

"Yeah sorry to leave like that but something came up. But im a man of my word. I own you another thirty minutes. Here take my number and call me when you have time."

"Well then mister anthony,it seems we will see each other again."

"For the last time"

"Who knows?"

And then Anthony got into his black car and drove away.

Oh, they will definitely see each other again more than one time. In fact Angelica knew she would become a part of his life soon enough.
