Chapter 7 The Realm
"We're back in our true vessels!" Phuture shouted eagerly, she nearly jumped on her husband from joy while grabbing onto him. His facial expression remained emotionless, unfazed by the appearance of her true identity. "What's wrong?"
"We're only ourselves inside The Realm, but our spirits will still be at that school within the human world."
"Are you saying our souls can be two places at once?"
"If we were to use a spiritual duplicate, then yes we can split our souls into two different locations. In this case, we just temporarily vacated Terrance and Celie's vessels. I believe we only resume our true identity inside The Realm, but we'll go back to that world when we leave from here. I asked for assistance from our divine ancestors...and they gave me this...but why?"
"Maybe there's answers here..."
"I was thinking precisely the same, but I also believe this is an easier method to prevent from spiritual energy exhaustion. I'm aware that our spiritual energy is on low...but activating The Realm didn't take much prowess. I'm sure your capable of activating it too, I'll just teach you the methods again. It's similar to how we activate our spiritual domains, but should be easier for you to accomplish. Even in the damaged state of your spirit."
Dark took an invigatorating deep breath, the dark hues of his aura began surfacing as he smoothly exhaled.
"The key is for your mind, body, and soul to be one while using your spiritual energy." Dark spoke, gazing him down while he concentrated with his eyes closed. "You will steady your breathing, concentrate your mind, and dedicate your body to the usage of your spiritual prowess. This will help unlock your true nature and elements instinctively, and it was something you mastered in seconds when we were young."
Seconds? So I'm a natural talented prodigy, of course! I should really double down on my confidence and stop doubting myself! I'll follow his movements and practice spiritual energy technique!
Phuture followed his movements step by step, beginning with closing her eyes to rest the mind. She exhaled smoothly after firm breaths to duplicate him, steadily breathing as suggested before concentrating on unleashing her spiritual prowess.
Dark released his energy and smirked, he said. "First attempt...even better than last time. In The Realm, I believe our spirits are at full capacity."
Dark made that assumption based on heavy spiritual pressure behind Phuture's physique, designating that she was clearly currently at full power.
Phuture opened her eyes observingly examining the purple sparkling aura, she questioned. "This is my spiritual energy, right?"
"Indubitably." Dark answered. "Your prowess still surpasses mines, but you'll need practice to perfect your craft again. We've been through decades of seperate wars and battles to become Divine Gods. It'll take awhile to reach your peak."
Phuture attempted to release her spiritual aura just like Dark, but her prowess expanded more to reach its highest peak. Her spiritual aura immensely became tenfold larger than just a moment ago.
The power up triggered an effect inside The Realm once her aura connected with the red stars above, bursting the red stars on impact and rotating the entire realm after an eruption above.
The Realm's rotation lunged both Divine Gods aside and scattered the stars further from each other than before.
The two stars that were dispersed by Phuture's aura came crashing down during the rotational spinning. One of the red stars landed on the ground beaming a light blue illumination, and the other red star landed with a yellow glow.
Dark scampered over towards Phuture and helped her stand, eyeballing the nearby blue and yellow glowing presences. Just a few seconds after their presences, he could feel the spiritual pressure behind each illumination.
"Those are souls..." Dark said, he met eyes with Phuture. "Those are two different spiritual energy sources...meaning two different beings have been summoned."
The light blue aura formed into human form as a tall man with brute scars on his face and arms. His skin symbolized his native descent, dark brown tired eyes, full beard on the face, and wore an all black tailor made slim suit.
The yellow aura would take form as a young woman with light brown skin and long hair. She wore a classy yellow dress with a pink flower on the left shoulder, red lipstick, and clacking from her steps signaled she wore high heels.
The man and woman had been transported from their locations unwillingly, summoned to The Realm on accident by Phuture. They were under suspicions that The Gods had selected them, expecting there was a reason behind being summoning.
"Welcome to The Realm!" Dark's deep toned voice echoed, sending a shiver of chills down my their spines. "You are likely wondering why you are here. First, where are the two of you from?"
The man and woman were both hesitant on answering, but only because of the person standing in front of them. They were both acceptant that Dark and Phuture were forms of divinity that summoned them unwillingly. Meaning, they both felt deep down they had no choice but to accept their summoning.
From their point of view, being summoned into a new realm without warning or way out meant they were completely under The Divine God's control.
The man decided on speaking out, but was weary of the woman directly ahead of him. "I am from Itaska."
"Itaska, hmm, I suppose that's another time and world. You will go by the codename, Itaska." Dark declared a nickname for the man, he moved on to the woman next. "Young woman, where are you from?"
The lady kept a side eye on the man, noting not to trust him just based from his appearance of savagery. The ones who summoned them must be a higher power of divinity, and she viewed The Divine Gods as no threat. In fact, she deemed them as trustworthy and reliable.
"I am from Greenland." The woman said. "I would just like to say it's an honor to meet a Divine Lord such as yourself."
Dark's eyes widened at the word Greenland, but he didn't let anyone else see his state of shock. Phuture would be able to detect his concerns as the only one in Union Greenland with him. She respected how he used their location as codenames, just to figure out where the two newcomers resided.
They were from two different worlds and likely lived two different lives, but mutually respected the powerful acts of divinity that summoned them.
"The honor is mines, Ms. Greenland." Dark replied after a brief momemt of silence. "It's a pleasure to meet you both, Ms. Greenland and Mr. Itaska."
Ms. Greenland asked. "Can we hold these meetings frequently? I would like to learn more about The Realm."
"Hm...surely that's a possibility. Allow me to introduce myself...I am Divine Lord Dark. This is my wife, Divine Goddess Phuture. All three of us are from seperate worlds, but our paths have crossed today because we have something in common."
Ms. Greenland and Mr. Itaska contained spiritual energy and were powerful spiritual entities. The extent of how powerful was currently unknown.
Dark said. "We each have spiritual prowess.
