While everyone was getting ready for the burial to comnce, Reign had found himself in a void. There was nothing that he could see or feel as he levitated through it.
"Where am I?" Asked Reign while floating peacefully, there was nothing in his sight except for darkness that shrouded his vision, "What happened?"
He thought back on what was happening before he had lost consciousness, he rembered seeing Adam impaled on the huge sword as the commander of the orcs grinned at the sight. He rembered his anger and how he blasted him away before talking with Adam, after that his mory was fuzzy, he could only see so bits and pieces of it. He saw the orc commander staring at him fearfully as his arm was ripped off from his body, at the next mont he could see himself pumling the orc's disfigured face.
Misty mories of the battle were all that he could rember until the very end when a wall of fire was in front of him. A hand grabbed his shoulders as Shadow had appeared before him, after that there was nothing, he rembered closing his eyes, and ever since then, he was in the void.
Suddenly.
A small dot of light appeared in the void, Reign tried walking towards it only to find it was impossible, there was no ground upon which he could walk. He tried moving his body to get closer but that proved to be incredibly insufficient as he was simply flailing his arms and legs around as his body floated.
He focused completely on the light as he tried everything he could in order to get closer to it and suddenly he could feel his body moving towards it. He was standing still and yet his levitating body was moving towards the light as if it was flying. If he could see himself he would be surprised to see that two wings were present on his back, each flap of the wings would move his body closer and closer to the light.
The dot of light beca bigger and bigger until the void was suddenly gone, a bright flash of light blinded him for a mont before he opened his eyes as a familiar sight greeted him. The sound of a million birds chirping was present as the sea of lightning was in front of him. Light and darkness were present around the sea as if they were embracing it.
The lightning, the darkness, and the light exuded a calm aura that made Reign feel as if he was back ho. The gentle light shined on him as it made him feel relaxed while the darkness absorbed all the negativity he had. The lightning coiled around him as if hugging him as he stepped into the lightning sea. His worries seed to disappear as he basked in the gentle lightning, the bright light, and ever-lasting darkness.
"Ahem." Suddenly the sound of soone clearing their throat woke Reign up from his stupor as he looked at a person that suddenly showed up at the edge of the lightning sea. A copy of himself that was wearing black robes was standing and watching him with a smile on his face. The copy suddenly waved at him cheerfully as a bright smile was plastered on his face, "Yo."
Reign turned around and slowly made his way to the edge of the lightning sea while staring at the man. The lightning tries to coil around him in an effort to stop him, seemingly calling out to him not to leave, but he simply continues further.
"Why did you bring here?" Reign asks the dark copy as the latter shakes his head, "I didn't, you ca here by yourself, this is your mana sea after all."
"Mana sea?"
"All beings have a mana see inside of them, of course, compared to them yours is different, usually one would have quite literally a sea made of mana here, well, first it's more like a pond but it gets bigger the stronger you beco." The figure takes a look at the lightning before facing Reign again.
"Depending on what ability one has the sea could also change, just like yours beca one made of lightning, but compared to others, you are a completely different kind of weird, as you probably already figure out."
"I know, Shadow and the others also had different views when they ditated the first ti, Wolf found a lake of fire that embraced him, Tank saw a normal lake with a statue made out of copper. Everybody saw a different sight but compared to Reign, theirs seed completely normal, not only was his lightning sea pretty much a sea even the first ti he had seen it but the light and darkness that were around it were completely out of place as well.
"I know you enjoyed relaxing down there, but I thought I should wake you up, I think your friends would get worried if more ti passes."
"What do you an?"
"Well, I know you didn't really feel it, but a couple of days have already passed since you arrived here."
"What?!" Reign widens his eyes in surprise as he couldn't believe it, to him it felt like only a matter of minutes had passed since he stepped inside the lightning sea and closed his eyes. To actually learn that days had passed was too big of a difference.
"It's because you were forming a better connection with your ability, don't take wrong it's a good thing to do, but spend too much ti and you might find yourself not wanting to leave."
"So I guess I should thank you huh?" Reign looks at the dark copy with a sharp gaze.
"Nah, you don't need to do that, I just thought I should help you out a bit, you and I are the sa after all, we should look after each other."
"I don't know what you're planning exactly, but whatever it is I'll be ready for it." Reign says as he stares at the dark copy with hostility in his eyes, before he could say anything else the latter puts his hand on his forehead as he whispers, "Of course, you will, now, ti to go back."
Reign suddenly disappeared from the area as the dark copy sighed happily, he suddenly turns towards the lightning sea, and his deanor changes. His face shows a soft look as he suddenly steps towards the sea, the black robe he wore suddenly scatters as a clean white robe was showed underneath it.
"While I'm here, why not relax a bit." The copy says as he lies on the lightning sea, the lightning coils around him gently while the light and darkens envelop him as well.
…
Reign opens his eyes as he stares at the ceiling of his room. Blackie suddenly gets up from the ground and looks at him curiously. Reign smiles when seeing the familiar wolf and pets his head as the latter closes his eyes as he enjoys the touch.
Suddenly the door opens as Laura enters with a new blanket, after seeing Reign awake and petting the giant wolf who had put his head on his chest she smiled brightly.
"You're awake."
"Hey, how – how long was I out."
"It's been three days."
"Fuck."
"Are you feeling alright, you suddenly passed out after your fight with the orc, we didn't know what was wrong, we thought it was probably the sa thing as last ti, but you were unconscious for so long and we really didn't know what was wrong and-"
"It's alright." Reign suddenly got up from the bed and gently ruffled Laura's hair as the latter stopped talking. It was obvious that she and the others were under a great deal of stress as they didn't know what was wrong with him.
"R-Reign?"
"Yeah?"
"Y-you should put on so clothes."
Upon hearing Laura's words Reign suddenly looked down and saw that he was only wearing boxers, his upper body was naked, Laura blushed as she suddenly turned around and hurriedly went out.
"I-I'll be in the living room with the others." Laura quickly left the room as Reign scratched the back of his head in embarrassnt, he simply acted without thinking and didn't even know that he was half-naked in his bed. Thinking a bit more about it, it was probably Laura who took off his clothes after they arrived in the building, she was the one that did it the previous ti as well.
"I have to stop making them worry, I'm supposed to be the leader for fucks sake." Reign splashes water on his face in the bathroom as he looks at himself in the mirror. His broad fra was packed with muscles from the workouts he always did, fighting against monsters and leveling up also seed to help as his muscles looked even better than before.
He puts on so clothes before leaving his room and going towards the living room to see the others.
