"Cedeit?"
Annoyed of being called twice, Cedeit raised up his voice and answered, "I heard you once. Now, did you get a long look at your own Subconscious? Yes, it is small, enough for two of us. There's another term for it, you see. A 'storage room' to store your Essences that ca to your Soul,"
Cesar looked around to see nothing but white all around. Nothing inside was interesting aside from why Cedeit was here with him.
"Let guess, after barging your way inside of here by forcing to lose consciousness, have you been here inside all this ti, Waiting for the perfect ti to control ? Or is it the ti when I reached the place you are staying at,"
Cedeit stared at Cesar for a brief mont before snorting, "You already have an answer to that. Why even ask,"
Cesar feigned ignorance even though Cedeit was right. Judging by the clues he had on his hands, he knew the Nightmare had been here the mont the eyeball replaced his empty eye socket. The 'connection' was the key and the Subconsciousness that was left unprotected was there for the taking, which Cedeit seized.
However, since Cesar still has so control over his body as they fight for it, Cedeit never manages to finish his goal.
He was almost there but didn't quite achieve that thing, forgetting one small detail which is seeing Cesar's train of thoughts.
That's why he lost to a lowly human.
He's been humbled… but that didn't an he was giving in.
He just didn't have any cards to play left for now. Which is why he was going to comply and comply, and will continue to comply at Cesar's demands.
When the ti cos, Cedeit knows he'll strike his chance.
'Hah! This Nightmare.'
Cesar was guessing about what was going through Cedeit's head… if he had one.
He was carefully considering that Cedeit has been very good to him in the past few days. There was no cunningness left in his words as they talked and it seed he was trying to reconcile and build their relationship once more.
It's bullshit.
The two beings understand it.
A Nightmare and the Human is still in a fight. Unless the other eradicates the other, it will not finished.
To break the awkward silence, Cesar ca straight to the topic, "Cedeit, if you can now please teach your thod of a way to communicate without speaking so loud, I can finally leave in here."
"Right… right… That was the business there, right?"
Cedeit seed to have coughed up which was very wrong, seeing that an eyeball didn't have any mouth. But it still managed to do so before adding.
"Cesar, I don't know if this thod would work but it might pose so risks,"
Cesar couldn't help but put a smile on his face as he interrupted, "Risks?"
Cedeit shook itself up and down, "It's not much of a risk but you can say a problem might arise, sothing unforeseen even for ,"
Cesar maintained his cheeky smile and repeated, "Sothing unforeseen, eh?"
Cedeit clicked his tongue, "If you won't believe , then what's the point of being here? Let's just leave,"
"You know, at first, I believed you. At first. But then again, I had to rethink. Who the hell am I dealing with?" Cesar voiced out, "The concept of Subconsciousness is very interesting but it is very big for the likes of for a mont. Hence, I will learn about it later. What I need right now is information,"
At last, as though the facade he'd tried to maintain was crumbling, Cedeit began shouting again, using the sa tone he'd used since Cesar first showed reluctance to give in when at the face of danger.
"You lowly brat! I'll kill you! I'll kill you when I have the chance,"
Rubbing his ears as if he was annoyed that Cedeit had co back to his usual self, Cesar continued to tell his demands as he remained unresponsive to the Nightmare's shouts.
"I want you to tell how I can find a Soul Scholar. Even if I had to cross yet other likes of Void, I would do it. I'm too tired of waiting for the information to sit on my lap. I want to in my hands," Cesar paused, "So tell , where I can find them,"
Cedeit eventually stops his rumblings and grumblings, upon realizing that he wasn't thinking straight. When he realized that sothing wasn't right, he raised it with disbelief in his tone.
"You…! You tricked !"
"…"
"You're okay with this thod of how we talked like this without getting the attention of others from outside, here, in your subconsciousness is that it?" Cedeit scoffed, "That's why you don't mind whatever I was going to say to solve that problem… because it is already solved. Now, you just want information about Soul Scholar,"
Cesar remained silent before smirking, "I didn't do anything else. Besides, I really do want that information. As for how we communicate, we'll follow your suggestion. So for both of our sake, tell ,"
Cedeit hesitated for a while before making a sound of tongue-clicking and revealing the information, knowing it would benefit them in the long run. If he continued to hide this information, who knows when Cesar's body would give in?
"Soul Scholars… are creatures that like hide. They actually didn't want to show themselves that much and when they did, you'll likely have to cover your eyes,"
"Hide my eyes?"
Cedeit nodded, "Yes, these Scholars have a very hideous face so anyone who has seen them will be, tak, gone. Their opponents will just disappear. Now, as for how they are called Soul Scholars, it's because their powers are related to it. How they make their opponents disappear is because they target their souls. They are very keen, aware, and able to scent Souls higher than others. I think that is one of their strengths."
Cesar listened very intently as he replied, "How do I communicate with them?"
Cedeit imdiately replied, probably expecting the question beforehand, "That's the thing. I don't know. But if you want to find them, you'll have to target the terrains rich in soul."
Cedeit paused as he chuckled, "You can even search this Academy. It is very rich with soul, I can tell,"
"Nice joke," Cesar didn't really feel like laughing at it before shaking his head, "I heard what I wanted to hear. With this, I can reduce my search with your information. Now, how do I get back?"
Cedeit looked around Cesar's Subconsciousness before saying, "From the knowledge that I wield, there are two ways to get back outside. First, if soone from the outside is forcing you to wake up. It's like you need a physical reaction to evict soone from their dreams. Second, you reverse the thod of how you got out from here,"
Cesar replied briefly, "Un-imagining it? Well, that seems very easy,"
"Will you fucking leave now?"
Cesar stepped backward and started to 'un-imagine' himself leaving the white space. It didn't take a long ti till it was accomplished the mont he realized his perception beca slightly different.
It didn't feel his Subconsciousness at all.
The mont he opened his eyes, he found himself in the sa living room he had seen the instant he stepped inside the white space.
