28 Silence (1/2)

We decided to wait for the twins to wake up. I couldn't exit this place anyway. I wondered ifYou Ye would be ok, would many time pass while I'm stuck in my own plane or world? I didn't know exactly how to call it, but I had a guess of some sort on what exactly was this.

I wasn't feeling really comfortable with this old aged soul around, especially how weird it looked. It was ugly as hell.

I asked for its name so I could refer to its existence some way. His new name was Shallow, something that confused me. I thought everybody had Chinese names or nicknames unless it was a code name. So it picked my curiosity and so I asked...

”Why are you named Shallow?” I asked with my picked curiosity which was answered by a simple statement.

”Aren't you avoiding me because of your shallow?”

Indeed I only avoided him because of his external appearance. Guess I'm getting worse, sighs if my mother was alive, what would she say?

”I apologize,” I said reflecting a bit on my attitude. Perhaps I went a bit overboard before.

”Don't worry, you are still young there are many things u don't know about this strange world. It's full of wonders. Shu Yi and Shu Er would be fine and they would greatly benefit. If they help us we can serve u. We know that they won't do something against your wishes. In fact, they only allowed for this inheritance to happen because they wanted to be stronger for you. They are afraid of losing you.”

”I...” I didn't know what to answer, it's true they were enslaved by me, but I didn't treat them like slaves at all. As a matter of fact, if it wasn't for them I'm sure I would be lost every piece of humanity I had. Why would they really go so far? It's the same thing with You Ye, why would she act like that... I truly didnt understand.

”As I said you are young. Don't be mistake the Death Soul Seal you placed on them can control their souls to not betray you, but that doesn't mean they have to like your or care about you at all. In fact, you understood your seal wrong. It's not a seal to enslave people, otherwise, why would they still be like that? Free of emotions, free of opinion, why would they be still themselves if you are truly enslaving their souls. You still don't understand young man?” This time the voice sounded more profound and more woman like.

Wait a moment... Death Soul Seal, how can he know? I never told the exact name to Shu Yi or Shu Er. I raised my head and look straight into his eyes. Could it be, that's not the true purpose of the seal? What Shallow told me is right, if they were truly slave why aren't they puppets or something only obeying commands...

I didn't notice but a ray of light entered my mind, memories flooding into my mind, thousands of souls were enslaved. They acted like puppets devoid of emotions, devoid of words, a true seal, those souls minds were wiped out. They belonged to an unknown existence. The memories stopped flooding. I recovered my sight and looked straight into Shallow eyes.

”It was you. These memories you were the one who enslaved all those souls. You showed me a true Soul Seal.”

”That's right, that was a truly slaving soul seal. Now you realize how different is your sealing even though it has a more overbearing name.” Shallow side with a big smile on his face.

”Right, it's indeed as you said. My Seal is totally different as if it has another purpose but... how did you know my the name of my seal?” I narrowed my eyes. Right, how did he know that... there was something going on.
