You are already mine

Kyrie senses the essence within him slowly dissipate around his wrist. Ian hovers his hand over Kyrie's arm, channeling mana to detect the essence's movements. It is the first time that Ian has seen essence in the form of energy to have its own will after entering the body. 

"How did you gain the essence in your body?"

"Through Phanes?" Kyrie tilts his head, thinking how he has already told Ian.

"I mean the process…" 

"Hmm… She enchanted a spell… Just that I couldn't understand a single word. Her appearance changed, and she took out a thread from her body and joined it on my chest. That thread inserts into my body and disappears after a sharp pain. She told me that I had become her successor, which I have no idea what that really means aside that I thought I could use her essence. When I had to break out of the illusion, that is when I knew I couldn't use it…"

"That is really weird."

"In what sense?"
