M: Does this mean I've earned a kiss?
L: You wouldn't want to do that here, Romeo.
Alpha: Or Juliet will send us all to hell.
Al: Do we need to be scared?
V: I don't think so, she's just a little girl, right?
They all turned to me and shouted at once, "A little girl?!"
V: Why are you all so surprised? Did I say something bad?
M: Just don't leave my side.
We entered, and it was a vast room with a high ceiling, a white glass floor, and Harley chained in the middle! It looked so much like my nightmare that I was scared.We advanced, and Alpha stood in front, reciting the words,
"Mentem aperi, veritatem vide, velut lupus sanguine eodem sitiens ulula."
Whenever one of us said such words, I felt a strange sensation in my heart, as if my soul were being nourished. Harley's eyes opened, and her chains were released as she descended to the floor. She looked at her brother with eyes filled with longing and hugged him tightly. Alpha's eyes were filled with tears, and he hugged her too, as if they hadn't seen each other in years.
Harley: Big brother! What a surprise!
Alpha: Hello, little devil, I missed you.
L: Hello, Harley.
Harley: Oh, who do we have here? The Moon Maiden, Detroiethus's Son, Charles Riotta's Grandchild, and my Dearest Selfish Love.
Harley's knowledge of all this stuff was disturbing to me, but what was even more annoying was her comment directed at Merlin. Merlin responded without hesitation.
M: You know selfishness better than anyone, Devil. Explain it to your brother.
H: Oh, yes, why should I reveal our secret when everyone has already seen it?
Al: That's enough, you maniac! Alpha, how can you put up with this?
Alpha: Unlike you, she's a Devil, and she's my sister.
H: That's right, big brother, but did you bring another Devil with you? Should I be jealous?
Alpha: What does that mean, explain?
M: She's talking about Violet because she's also a Nine-Tails.
H: Clever wizard, that's why I liked you so much.
L: What do you mean by Nine-Tails? You've known this for so long, and did you allow it?
M: Because I trust her!
V: What's happening? You're scaring me.
Alpha: How do you know you're not manipulating us?
L: Violet, I'm so sorry. We can be close friends, but you shouldn't have kept this from us.
V: I have no idea what you're talking about, LUNA!
The surroundings darkened, and the lights flickered. When the area lit up again, Harley was standing in front of me, and the others were tied to their chairs.
V: What's happening here?
H: You're not even aware of yourself yet. I pity the soul that chose you.
V: Watch your words. At least I'm not forcing myself onto others.
H: Are you sure? Think about it. All those souls you manipulated during moments of anger, and the choices you influenced.
My mind was getting foggy between these words, and I was struggling to comprehend.
H: And Merlin! Oh, Mighty Merlin, do you think he fell in love with you?
V: Just shut up already! Enough! I don't care about being Alpha's sister or manipulating so many people! starts approaching her
V: You're just a simple, pathetic, self-centered creature who prefers hatred over love.
H: Yes, where did you know that? That's a very accurate observation, but it doesn't change these facts right now. Their minds are all blank. When I want, they open up. When I want, they feel what I feel. And if I want, Merlin's eyes only see me.
V: You've been talking about how well you can manipulate him all this time, but you have no idea. If you were that good, you could get out of here, right? That means there's something stopping you.
H: You're thinking too much, Violet. Your confusus mind may not grasp this.
V: Confusus? Hahaha, Checkmate!
H: What? surprised
At that moment, the suggestion Merlin had taught me came to my mind as if a light had lit up in my brain.
Scene with Merlin's Teaching:
M: Close your eyes and focus on my voice.
V: You're quite romantic, Houdini.
M: Shh, just listen to me. When you encounter Harley, her first move will be to perceive you as weak and try to enter your mind. Understanding this may be quite challenging for you. To awaken yourself, you should establish one or two signs.
V: Signs? Like what, for example?
M: For example, the lights may flicker suddenly. It's actually the way your soul says your circuits are open, but you may not fully understand it at that moment because Harley is an incredible manipulator.
V: What if we do something better? Like integrating your voice into me?
M: If she manages to defeat us at that moment, this won't work very well. So, we're going to make you sensitive to a word.
V: Which word is that?
M: "Confusus." It means muddled blood. Harley will definitely use this simple word when she belittles you; she uses it in almost every sentence while manipulating people. So, when you hear this word, you'll realize she's manipulating you and wake up.
V: But what if I can't remember it at that moment?
M: That's the point of the training, V. You won't remember it, so there's no need because the foxes have been endowed with such incredible abilities, and my favorite among them is the ability to connect with your soul.
V: Wait, are you going to kill me?
H: Ahahaha, no, V, of course not. I'm just going to introduce you to the fox who granted you these powers. Normally, you can't communicate with it without meditation, but I'm a clever wizard, and I've found a way around it. So, you can think of it as meeting Venom.
V: I get it now. Let's do this; it sounds fascinating.
H: Repeat the words I say, "Aquas, Terras, Caudas Ignium, et Custodes Aeris."
"In the name of the Waters, the Earth, the Tails of Fire, and the Guardians of the Air, I call upon you."
V: "Aquas, Terras, Caudas Ignium, et Custodes Aeris."
H: "Mienya Dileva, animae meae vocem da et meum proprium reddas."
"Mienya Dileva, give voice to my soul and return what's mine."
V: "Mienya Dileva, animae meae vocem da et meum proprium reddas."
I felt a light and a warm sensation, and the surroundings darkened. Where was I now? Merlin was in front of me, looking at me and saying something, but I couldn't hear his voice. Slowly, my ears began to adjust, and I started hearing.
M: Do you understand?
V: Wha-what? I just started hearing your voice; I couldn't hear it a moment ago.
Sly: Hello, Violet Riotta.
V: Aaaa-aaaa-aaaaa.
Sly: Hey, calm down.
V: Aaaaaaaaaaa!
M: Let her get used to it. smiles
V: You, you, you!
Sly: Hello, I'm Sly, the Fox who granted you your power.
V: H-hello, it's terrifying to see you.
Sly: I suppose that's a compliment. Yes, I'm here. Why did you awaken me?
M: Sly, first of all, thank you for accepting. Violet, spirits don't always heed the call or come whenever you summon them; they are wise beings. So, Sly, we're here to express our gratitude generously.
V: Thank you, Sly, you've honored me.
Sly: The honor is mine, my powerful daughter.
M: Sly, as you know, Sylvia (Harley's Spirit) can manipulate Violet. Therefore, we want to choose a word that you can convey to Violet at the right moment for her to awaken.
Sly: We Foxes, as you said, are wise and powerful beings. You can imagine we have both good and bad among us, but contrary to popular belief, it's not determined by our tails. Let's get back to our topic.
V: Yes, you need to convey the word "Confusus" to me at that moment for me to wake up.
Sly: I accept, my beautiful girl. You are the finest soul I've chosen, and I would be honored to do this. But you need to know something.
V: What's that?
Sly: At that moment, you'll be supernova-powered. When a manipulated fox awakens, it awakens at full power, and no one can stand against it, even another fox. It's impossible. Being able to control that power and think clearly to make the right decision is crucial. So, when I whisper to you, the first thing you need to think about is that you have a family to protect.
V: I understand it very well, Sly. I will succeed
M: We will overcome this together.
Sly: We cannot see the truth with our eyes, but we can when we look with our hearts.
M: And that's the most fundamental principle you need to learn because...
V: Because to see, you must know, and to know, you must learn, and to learn, you must be.
Sly: You're learning quickly. I knew you were the right choice.
M: Yes, it's time to go back now.
V: I'm very grateful to have met you. I hope to see you again soon.
Sly: I hope so too. Take care of her, Merlin.
M: Of course. V, repeat after me, "Concordia completus est."
Harmony is complete.
V: "Concordia completus est."
M: "Aequilibrium inveni."
I found my balance.
V: "Aequilibrium inveni."
M: "Anima et corpus meum vulpi pertinent."
My soul and body belong to the fox.
V: "Anima et corpus meum vulpi pertinent."
M: "Domum tuam revertor."
I return to your home.
V: "Domum tuam revertor."
Sly nodded and entered my body. People, or should I say, humans, seem interesting to me now because we are Heilians. We are powerful, merciful, wise, intelligent beings capable of strategic thinking, and the most fundamental factor that sets us apart from humans is that we have two souls. I used to think of myself as in a dream, waiting to wake up. But I've come to understand that this is not an illness I can escape from or be cured of; it's a power I can accept with honor, bestowed upon me by the entity that gave me my soul. Now, my emotions are more sensitive, I am more agile, and I am more open to the world. It's my time now, and all the evils that come my way will get their fair share.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
H: You're thinking too much, Violet. Your confusus mind may not grasp this.
V: Confusus? Hahaha, Checkmate!
H: What? surprised
V: Harley, you are such a fool. I'm definitely not talking about the fox; the problem is you. Just look at the soul you've chosen. Ahahaha, there couldn't have been a dumber choice, I guess.
I had awakened, and I felt even more powerful than before. You could say I was hungry for power, as Sly had warned me. So, I first thought about my family, why I was here, and what I needed to do. I noticed that my eye color had changed to bright red when I looked into Harley's eyes. This was also a sign that Sly had awakened, and I knew I needed to teach Harley a lesson.
H: How is this possible? You were not supposed to wake up.
V: What? What fairy tale is this? We don't believe in those childish stories, Harley.
As I mentioned Harley, Sly had also joined in, and in my mind, Sly's head had appeared in a ghostly manner. If it were a human, they might have died of fright in the face of such a thing. In that moment, I saw Harley panic in fear and transform, and
H: You're going to regret this, spoiled brat!
V: All of this is happening in your mind, Harley.
H: It's impossible for you to understand. How could you know this?
V: Because I can hear Merlin's thoughts, and right now, everyone is safe with me, while you're still chained up.
H: No, no, Merlin will never love you. You won't get out of here, you filthy confusus!
She then tried to attack me, but I preferred to engage in a mental battle and used telekinesis to try to stop him. I struggled a bit and managed to hold him for a few seconds, but he broke free and started spewing fire at me. Responding to physical attacks with mental ones felt insufficient, and I remembered Merlin's chess match. He made physical moves, but the real battle took place in his mind. I needed a checkmate, not just a check. So, I transformed as well. In reality, this wasn't just done through thoughts; there's a simple mathematics to it. It involves calling out to your Fox, and they grant you their appearance. It's all about how your mind works.
H: Oh, little Violet can transform!
V: Would you like to see how this ends, Harley? Or how happy Merlin and I are?
H: You're dead!
V: No, but your brother will surely kill you when he sees the truth.
H: You can't do that.
V: Really? How about we give it a try?
I drew a rune that would trap him in his own mind and called upon Sylvia, the Fox Spirit.
Sylvia: What's happening here! she shouted angrily
V: I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I had to do this.
H & S: No!
And I sealed the rune onto Sylvia's back. This way, as long as no one called upon Sylvia from the outside, no one could release Harley from the mental prison I had put him in. I completed the synchronization and trapped them. There was a moment of pain, my eyes closed, and then they reopened. I was back. My friends Alvin, Luna, Alpha, and my heart's owner, Merlin, were all standing in front of me, unharmed.
A: Hey buddy, you really scared us. I thought for a moment that you might not wake up from that trance.
L: Are you okay, V? What happened?
V: I'm fine, but you might not see Harley for a while.
A: What did you do to her, V? angry tone
I placed my hand on Alpha's temple and showed him what had transpired.
A: Oh, V, I'm so sorry. I apologize for everything she did to you.
V: It's okay. I gave her a puzzle to occupy her while she's stuck.
M: Hey, beautiful, any chance for a hug?
V: Come here, Houdini.
I hugged him tightly. It was one of the most beautiful feelings I could ever experience, and I was sure that Merlin belonged to me, and I loved him with all my heart.
L: So, what's the next step?
Alvin: How about having a meal? What's available to eat here?
V: That's the best idea I've heard.
H: Alright then, Abra Cadabra!
Suddenly, a magnificent table appeared in the middle of the room. I sat down eagerly.
Alpha: Well, Wizard boy, I think it's time to make amends.
M: Wow, did everyone hear that?
Al: Alpha, what am I hearing?
L: We should record this moment. records on her phone
Alpha: Hahaha, I'm not joining in on this commotion.
M: So, are we not making amends?
Alpha: No, Wizard, we are. I apologize for everything, but...
M: But?
Alpha starts chasing Merlin.
Alpha: I told you, Wizard, that when this is over, I'll bite you.
M: Oh no, I'll need to save my behind.
Al: How did I miss out on this commotion? Wait for me!
Alvin also chases after them.
L: Looks like all the feast is left for us, what do you say, V?
V: Dig in, my sister, it's all ours. laughs
