Two souls
The door of the room opened, Simon is lying on the bed and looks like he just woke up.
"Simon How are you feeling?"
"Good thanks to Alice."
It looks like Simon already knows that Alice is a mage, he doesn't seem surprised by it!
"But Alice, as always I don't seem to feel comfortable with you around!"
"Hey, Simon what your problem with Alice."
William is looking angry, Well he is right about that.
Alice has faced some discrimination since she hides her whole body in black cloth.
The reason is that she has been diagnosed with -xeroderma pigmentosum-, and people avoided her until William appeared.
They met in medical school, She wanted to be a doctor and find a cure for her condition with her own hands.
She even became a healing mage on top of that.
"Your right Simon I never asked you why you don't feel comfortable with me around?"
At that moment Simons's eyes turned red as he looked at Alice.
"What with your eyes!!"
Alice moved backward as if she had seen a monster.
"Don't worry, Simon's eyes look like that when he is trying to see how much magic you hold."
"Sorry, they scared me for a moment there."
"When I look at you I can't seem to see a depth to your ML, it's as if you have an infinite supply of magic. Moreover, I can't see the connecting thread between you and your patron."
"Probably because I'm a cleric, not a warlock."
"No clerics and warlocks are the same they both take their power from a powerful entity, the only difference is that the cleric patron is a literal God but warlocks aren't. Which means you need a connection thread with your God to receive his powers."
"How can you be sure of that."
"I've seen enough Clerics and warlocks and all of them have a connecting thread."
"So what do you think about it."
"Probably you are a natural-born caster or a legendary monster."
"A legendary monster??!!"
"No, I'm just trying to emphasize how overpowered you can be."
"But why do I need a prayer to use my healing magic?"
"Probably because you thought that you needed it. Try Praying to yourself instead of a god."
"Wait what!!!"
"Instead of saying something like -my god or please god- try saying -by my name or my name is Alice-."
Simon then scratched his arm with his fingernail leaving a long mark on it.
"Try it on this."
"Ok."
Then Alice started chanting.
[My name is Alice, I give thee my blessing and heal your wounds]
Simon wound got healed, He was right she was a natural-born caster. Someone who can be a patron and grant people his power.
"That confirmed it you are a natural-born caster, And to think you were a warlock to yourself"
"That makes us three."
Simon and Alice both looked at William.
"What."
"No, you were silent for a long time so you startled us when you spoke!"
"You both are natural-born casters"
"Yes, William can control the
"Hey, Alice why don't you take your hood off."
Alice pointed to the lamp and said.
"I don't know what that lamp emits so I can't."
"How about firelight?"
"I'm fine with it."
Simon then lighted a small fire from his hand, while William turned off the light.
Alice took off her face cover.
Pale skin and white hair with blood-red eyes.
Simon then said.
"Honestly I don't think you have xeroderma pigmentosum but that you are experiencing a side effect of your power."
"That may be the case but I also have something I want to ask you about."
Alice is looking at Simon with a serious face.
"First Who I'm talking with and secondly what are you exactly??"
"What do you mean?"
"When I healed you I felt two different souls inside you they are identical but one of them is a male and the other one is female, also both of them are different from human souls they are stronger. So my question is who I'm talking to now The male or the female and are even a human?."
Simon is thinking and William is confused.
I have two souls inside me. I'm the male one, then who is the female? can it be Lily? that a possibility but also it can be something else. Also, my soul is different from other humans souls in that it's stronger. Probably because that I have two different souls inside me that why my soul is stronger.
"I don't know exactly my self but now you are speaking to the male soul and it's me, Simon."
"And the other one??"
"Let me or would I say us try something."
"Okay."
"Hey, Lily can we try something."
"Yes, master."
"Who are you talking to?"
"My servant who I created with magic, I think she is the second soul you are talking about!"
"And why do you think that??"
"Because I created it by copying my self than changing the gender. So it can be that my soul also got copied."
"Now Lily try to phase inside me."
"Understood."
Lily got inside Simon and at that moment the temperature around Simon started to rise and Alice started Smiling.
"Your soul is now complete and it's amazing."
"I know I'm radiating heat right now but is it that amazing?"
"Of course normal humans souls are the size of an apple, I and William are the size of a melon but your is more than four meters in diameter and the heat is just the sheer power of that soul."
"Yes, master you're amazing!!"
Alice and William both looked at Simon.
That was a woman's voice.
"You are..."
"It's me, Lily."
"You can speak using Simon's body."
"I can always speak but now I using master's body as a medium."
"Don't forget me I'm also here."
That was a man's voice.
"Apparently now we are two different souls in the same body, I can't get out of my body but Lily can."
Alice stood up and then said.
"You both better get some sleep, I'll be going now see you tomorrow."
It's still 3:30 am.
"We can finally get back home, it was a long night."
"That right."
After some days have passed in college-Since Skipping it will bad- Simon and William decided it's time to do some training. Simon then headed to commander Bob and asked him to send them to an empty space where they can train, so he sent them to a military training ground.
"So are you ready Simon, we will start the mock battle now!"
