Ticking Time Bomb

With those last words, the other me went silent once again. I turned to look at Iena, who was staring at me with a bit of fear in her eyes. "Iena? Are you okay?"

"Huh? Wait…. What the hell are you keeping in your body!? What was that!?" Iena looked frightened beyond belief. I do not know what scared her, but I do know I did not have much time to waste as I had already wasted enough of it on the other me. 

"It's just an ancient will that tries to come out every so often. Anyway, is this true soul magic?" I asked, raising the flame sword in my hand. 

"Yes…. yes it is…. It seems you already knew it or more like instinctively knew it." Iena answered. To be honest, I was quite surprised by this myself. I just knew how to use soul magic. I didn't even think when I saw the other me charging at me, I just waved my hand, creating this ghostly flame sword.
