Chapter 12 - Ch.12 Dark Cave 1

The voice asked, "it's beautiful, isn't it" as it echoed in the long silence and slowly faded just like a beating heart.

After a minute long, another voice was heard braking the long silence again. Moreover this voice sounded just like the one...that was heard before...

The second Voice replied,

"It is...even if not much time has passed since my birth, it gives me a felling, as if my very essence is locked up somewhere within the confines of this giant ball of energy" Naturally the one who spoke was Black and his words carried an unknown emotion he felt towards that giant ball of energy that even he could not describe, it was an abnormal or unfamiliar sensation...

Double raised an eyebrow as he turned his face to his right, clearly surprised by the weard or unusual answer Black had given, but one could see the subtle smile hiding at the corner of his lips...what the smile ment was everyone's guess...

"Do you know what that is Black" Double asked, still not asking straightforwardly, instead going the long way again.

Black's eyes widened not by how Double was at it again, taking the long route again instead of just telling him what that giant ball of energy was, But by the fact it was the first time Double had called him by his name. Apparently after Black had given himself a name at Double's request, he had never called him by his name until now, always using words like dumb-ass, idiot, fool and all...

Black turned his face towards his left, still wide eyed as he answered "no, I don't know what it is...care to tell me" he finished as he asked, his expression returning to normal.

"Certainly..." Double began " The answer is very simple actually, I think you already know what it is or have a guess I suppose, but still I'll just tell you Anyway". Double finished as he closed his eyes and again looked towards that giant ball of energy up above.

He opened his eyes again, the two golden orbs aglow with an otherworldly light and said " it's your Soul... The Soul of The Quantiarch Progenitor...that's what it is..." Double finished as he again closed his golden eyes, leaving behind a wide eyed Black...

Who also looked at the giant ball of energy up above with an absent minded look on his face trying to process the information, as he thought ' that's...My Soul...The Progenitor's Soul....'

Located in the underground caverns of Hallow Woods of Elytheria...

In the Dark cave...

There stood a lone figure at the center of the cave, embraced by the all-consuming darkness...

However even in that Darkness-vail one could hear the small but strong beat of the figure's heart. It came and went like the tempest wind...

*ba-dumb* *ba-dumb*...

*ba-dumb* *ba-dumb*...

*ba-dumb* *ba-dumb*...

The Darkness was palpable, eerie and terrifying like the infinite Abyss...but it had a certain warmth to it that only Black could feel.

Yes, the figure standing at the center of the dark cave was Black, After his long talk and some small scruffles with his Double where he learned about his identity, Double's identity, the system and some other general information...

Some information came from Double while some came from his Partial-Omniscint ability that he also learned in this time. which previously he had used it on instincts but didn't know what it was until he was told otherwise.

Black finally opened his eyes in the all-consuming darkness embracing him and enshroudeing the whole dark cave like a death-vail, his two golden orbs shone like the blazing sun and with a fierce intensity like the dawn of a new era. And one could even see his eyes even in this all-consuming and abyssal Darkness even from 5 meters away, the good thing was that there was no one to see that otherwise, they would've been spooked sh*t less...

Black's beating heart had already calm down and the small amount of sweat he had formed previously because of his nervousness and fear by the sudden awakening of his unique or strange system had already been delt with by the cold-chill present in this dark cave.

As he looked around the dark cave, the side walls, the ceiling above and the ground below...everything was the same...however he still felt something was different as if he was missing something.

Of course something felt different, he was in his soul sea for who knows how long, so something must have changed in the dark cave and the cave being the place of his origin, and as a Progenitor his senses were strong enough that he was able to tell that something had changed in the dark cave...

"Do you know why I'm feeling this...strange sensation right now" Black asked Double as he was the only person in this dark cave other than him.

Apparently, after all that scruffles and tussle they had in his soul sea he had already accepted the fact that he would be together with this intelligent Progenitor memory of his for a long time and has even developed a slight dependence on him as he was the one who had answered most of Black's questions.

"Hmm...you must be feeling this Black because...maybe a lot of time must have passed. moreover since it was the first time you had entered your soul sea...maybe that's the reason you are feeling like this" Double answered as he tried to think of different reasons as to why Black was feeling as if something was weard in this cave....

"No, it's not because of the time, I've already asked Partial-Omniscint about that and not more than 6 hours have passed since I entered in my soul sea...it was the first thing that I did after I felt something was off...it's kind of like...I think there is another lifeform in here...tha" before Black could continue though he suddenly heard a sound,

*Hisss*
