"Hm, that may be the case," Raven said. "However, Kayla over there has a solution for you…"
"Oh, she does?" Little Uriel asked while turning her head towards Kayla expectantly.
'I do?' Kayla asked Raven internally as she was confused.
'Err, I was thinking that maybe you could manipulate the Cyber Particles inside of her brain and stimulate her to rember sothing…' Raven said in a hopeful tone.
'Well, um, rember when I said that sothing was rather weird about her brain?' Kayla asked. 'I said that exactly because nothing of the such worked on her, previously.
'It is extrely strange. But if I had to describe it, it's as though her mories are contained sowhere else…'
'Oh, err, so what do we do now?' Raven asked tiredly. 'We have spent so much ti and effort on her, are we just going to let her be? We still need those mories of hers, otherwise, Michael may be able to overpower Maya.. I can't let that happen…'
"Um, two kind ladies, is everything alright?" Uriel asked while tilting her head in a rather cute posture. "I am ready to help you and repay you for saving my life!"
*Sigh*
"So, I may have a solution," after so hesitation, Raven said with a sigh. "However, it'll hurt you and make your soul ache. You'll probably regret it if you agree to it."
"That's okay!" Uriel replied happily. "I need to repay my debt after all."
"Hehe, good girl," Raven complinted while patting her head. "I wasn't actually accepting 'no' for an answer. I need you to rember so stuff desperately."
"Raven, do you really have a plan?" Kayla got closer and asked with a whisper.
"Uhm," Raven nodded in a faint voice that wasn't heard by Uriel. "Yes, I really do have a plan. You know, when I was trying my best to pull her soul back into her body, I ca to a sort of realization.
"To control a person, you don't necessarily need their brain, but rather simply their soul. Well, when I said that her soul is gonna ache, I wasn't kidding…"
"Alright, Uriel, I need you to focus hard with here," Raven encouraged while holding Uriel by her two soft cheeks. "This is gonna hurt like hell-"
Interrupting herself, she instantly activated her two skills: Soul Reaper and Soul Peering Eyes. At that mont, her only functional eye shone and sparkled with a bright golden glow.
"Ah!" A sudden cry of pain left Uriel's lips as her face contorted. What was left of her cry seed to have been lost in her throat.
Raven's golden eye started slowly leaking red blood as pain clouded her own mind. This was the most pressure she has ever used on her eye. However, even though that was the case, a smile was plastered across her face, indicating that she was successful in her manoeuvre.
'What the heck is this?' Raven muttered while looking around through Uriel's soul. 'Wait, is this even her soul? Why does it look like an entire subspace? Oh, subspace… wait, is this similar to my Mind Space?"
Shaking her head in confusion, Even started observing everything around her carefully.
Beneath her feet, terrifying raging ocean waves kept on crashing against one another, creating a horrifying stormy scene.
At the center of this seemingly endless berserk ocean, one small island laid quietly. Coincidentally, the poor-looking island appeared to be placed at the eye of the storm.
On the island, Raven could see a feminine figure sitting there, shivering, while hugging herself.
"This is Uriel- no, I guess it's her true soul…" Raven tried to swallow her saliva until she realized an issue. She didn't have any. "What the hell- holy shi- why is my body glass like now? How can I see through my own body?"
Thinking about it for a few monts, and looking back and forth between herself and the Uriel on the island, she quickly realized that both of them had similar issues.
"Oh, is it because I'm in soul form too?" Raven asked rhetorically while trying to calm herself down. "It's obviously the case… right?"
After a few more minutes of self doubt, she finally let her eyes and looked upwards towards the sky.
Above, in the seamless and clear blue sky, her eyes landed on so strange transparent orbs. Or rather, instead of orbs, it may be more appropriate to call them bubbles.
For so reason, Raven's eyes narrowed as she felt her body subconsciously movie towards those bubbles.
"Is this my objective?" She asked herself. "Hm, well, I guess I'll check them out before going to visit that Uriel on the island."
Flying towards her goal effortlessly didn't take but a few monts of her ti. Upon reaching the transparent bubbles, a strange feeling of nostalgia enveloped her.
"Why do I feel like this is not my first ti in such a place? Hm, weird…" she muttered to herself while shaking her head. "Whatever, I have an objective that I must complete, quickly!"
Staring at the fragile looking bubbles, Raven didn't know what to expect, but unfortunately, no change happened.
"Do sothing, damn it- ah!" Raven gritted her teeth before trying to let out a soft sigh, only to panic and realize that she can't physically breathe.
Barely a mont of panic passed before she held her head and shook it yet once again. "I keep forgetting that this is not physically real. It's rely an illusory space, similar to my Mind Space. With that being said, how am I speaking?"
Touching her lips, she tried to speak: "Move, ah, they are- damn it, I'm getting distracted so easily, I need to focus on- wait, how co I didn't realize before; I have two eyes!"
Suddenly, this realization ca as a beautiful surprise as she started winking with one eye and then switching to the other. "Ah, so beautiful to have you back, err, for a few seconds…
"...
"Okay, ti to work. Hm, I didn't want to touch this bubble before for fear of it popping, but now that it's not doing anything, I have to try," saying that, Raven extended her fingers and slowly touched the surface of one of the transparent bubbles.
The mont she did, to her complete surprise, her vision seed to blur as an indescribable feeling enveloped her.
In front of her eyes, pictures flashed. Those pictures were nothing that she's ever seen before. It was as though she was walking on the clouds, above the sky.
What was bizzare was that above this sky was another one. However, a feeling in her heart told her that this was nothing but a fake. It was as though this was sothing so obvious that she didn't need to even pay attention to.
Suddenly, without her realizing, her lips moved on their own: "Raphael… I did not an to hurt you, why don't you believe ? I only wanted to spend more ti with you, is that a sin?"
After muttering such foreign words, that seed surprisingly and inexplicably familiar, from her lips, Raven's eyes widened.
Shaking her head as she held it in both hands, she could not help but feel a sense of relief as she exited that phase. "Whew! So, that was a mory from Uriel's life, huh… damn she's really in deep love with Maya.
"It's so strange how I could feel her every emotion… what a poor soul, I can still feel how sad she felt… no wonder she has gone insane.
"I won't be able to imagine myself without Maya for that many years either. Although, I actually think the real torture was that the very sa person she loved uncontrollably didn't reciprocate her feelings…
"Hm, the b*tch took my eye and she wants to take my Maya, why am I feeling bad for her? *Sigh*"
Letting out a soft sigh, Raven started to quickly formulate a plan. "Since those things are her mories, then why isn't she able to rember anything?
"Hm, if my guess is correct then there's an interruption between her own mories and her mind, so that they are not connected anymore. So, my goal would be to fix that connection!"
Thinking about it for a few monts, Raven tilted her head and looked at the lone island in the middle of the strange stormy ocean underneath.
What made it look extrely strange was that there were no stormy clouds, nor violent winds. It seed as though the water in the ocean itself was acting aggressive without any external motive...
Approaching the island from above in order to avoid the crashing waves, she could clearly see the glass-like Uriel sitting and shivering by herself.
"Please, leave alone…" Uriel suddenly murmured with a painful expression. "I don't want to, I don't want to… let go…"
Hearing those words, Raven's golden eyes suddenly shook. "Those words…"
She has heard those words before…
Back when she was trying to keep her alive, Uriel kept on muttering those words…
