Buy Me Time As Much As You Can
A soft voice of a three year old girl appeared clearly in my ears. This time it was a girl, at least I wouldn't end up with a bunch of ungrateful boys in the end.
"Do you want to eat?" As I learnt from Devour, these souls seemed to consider my energy as food.
"Yes father, please, please give me your delicious food that I tasted on my journey here."
"Ok," I wasn't as furious or impatient as I was with Devour. Perhaps that was the magic of having girls.
I already stored lots of energy for her. The moment I thought about it, my meridians and energy threads waiting on the side gushed towards her.
Devour kept the meridians around him. But this girl acted differently. Any meridians getting close to her withered, became thinner and fainter before vanishing like it never existed.
I looked up at all the meridians breaking down and vanishing in puzzlement. The energy I stored wasn't even consumed by any visible amount.
