Dark entity.

The door does not seem to be different from the others.

"That"

"Yes"

So I decide to trust the butler's advice and head towards the door.

So I try to see through the grates that are inside but I only find that the cell, like the previous one, is dark.

Then without further delay I push the door causing it to open.

With the half-lit cell I try to see what will come out this time but strangely I can't see anything inside.

When I am about to ask the butler about this, I am suddenly surprised by an unknown voice that I hear next to me.

"Hi, good morning"

Then I subconsciously take a step back in surprise.

Next to me, I don't know when he got there, but I see a person wrapped in a black blanket that almost covers his entire body, only exposing the lower half of his face and hands.

He is standing calmly there with a noticeable smile on his face that seems to be giving off a sinister feeling.

But somehow I can tell that that malice isn't directed at me, it's just there as if it were part of him.

"Heheheheh, I'm finally free"

I feel a bit awkward when he says that while smiling.

He immediately looks from him to me.

"It's nice to meet you"

He tells me without pretension.

"Ehn- mine too..."

"Now that I am free, he trusts that in the future we will get along well"

"Mn- yes..."

"Heehee, there's no need to be like that, how about we talk outside, this place is very gloomy"

"Yes..."

So led by Dracov who is quiet we leave in a silence that is only uncomfortable for me.

...

"Then I introduce myself, I am Shadow"

"...Nice to meet you"

'What a...drab name'

"Then step up his abilities from now on like the other man he released last time."

"Intensify?"

"What? I didn't know?"

Hearing this, I turn my attention to the butler in search of an answer.

"Oh, excuse my carelessness, I forgot to mention it; every time you release an entity it will be able to intensify certain abilities or facets that you had"

'Did you forget something so important?'

"You say they can improve my skills?"

"Something Out There"

"..."

'I don't remember feeling anything like that when I released the other man'

"If you ask why you have not felt its effects, it is because to date you have not felt it and if you did, it is most likely that you have ignored it"

Then suddenly the memory comes to me when I mysteriously dodged Tenten's attack.

"Then..."

"It seems that you already remembered something; normally these abilities can be activated unconsciously due to a special circumstance that can occur like the attempt on your life from the previous time but I advise you not to rely on this one because even if it activated this time, there is no guarantee that I will do it next time"

Listening to his explanation I can almost understand the whole situation involving these entities.

But even so there is a great doubt that has been bothering for a long time.

"So....what are these entities?"

To be honest I feel uncomfortable knowing that these things are inside me and it disturbs me more knowing that they have a conscience.

"They are part of you as I said before"

Hearing his answer I say in an almost rhetorical tone.

"How come they seem to have consciousness independent of me? It doesn't seem like they were part of me"

I say that ignoring the reaction that the other entity may have.

"It's because the definition of yourself is different from what you believe"

"I don't understand"

"What I want to say is that it's not really that anyone here has a conscience, they are just a representation of you so that you understand it better; look at it as if it is a mental block that restricts your body from using 100% of your physical strength and in this case of your abilities, which in the previous case would be represented by a door that is difficult to move and in this case it would be an entity that you need to free"

So upon hearing his answer it took him a while to grasp the meaning in general.

"So you say that everything that is here is figurative and is only a representation of what I carry inside me?"

"It could be explained like this"

"..."

Although I don't fully understand it, I already have a general idea.

"So if they are abilities, where do they come from, the example of the mental block can be explained but I can't understand this"

"That's because they aren't abilities to begin with, it would be more correct to say that they are something like facets."

"Facets? I don't think I'm bipolar"

"To better understand how about if I give you an example: when a very calm person suddenly changes their attitude completely and can start to behave like a different person that even after they realize they are surprised at themselves for not knowing that they had a side like that"

Then similar examples come to mind.

"Then they would be something similar, they are facets of you that you yourself do not know or thought you did not have"

So I can understand better with your explanation but now the question comes to me.

What facets of me do these entities represent?

I look at the entity that has been silent until now.

Feeling my gaze, he responds as if he already knows what I'm thinking.

"I'm like saying it, your cold thoughts"

"?"

"In other words, it could help you make decisions with a cool head where we maximize the benefits without letting ourselves be dominated by emotions"

Listening to his explanation, I get a general idea of what it could be.

"Then who is the man from before?"

Dracov talks about it.

"That person can be considered the representation of the most basic purposes of what life is"

Hearing his answer I feel lost; I never studied biology so I don't know anything.

"The two purposes would be to survive and continue the species"

'Now I have an idea of what these entities are but...'

"What do you represent?"

"Me? I would be the representation of the information of the order and guide that is here"

"Not-"

"You will understand later in the future"

Seeing that he was not going to give me more information, I decided not to insist any more.
