Chapter 108: Day 1 (2):

"Who are you? Why can I feel some of Master's sense in you?" he questioned. So the water horse could talk. "I could ask you the same thing," I retorted, "Where am I?". As soon as I opened my mouth I realised I could speak and breathe in the water perfectly fine without suffocating. Why was this happening? It's so strange? 

The water horse opened its mouth and sprayed some water on my face whilst saying, "I'm the one asking questions. Not you. Now answer me," he ordered. When I heard his attitude it immediately reminded me of my old form tutor who would always order people. I hated this tone, so I didn't answer him. "You don't wanna tell me? Then I will make you," muttered the water horse as it rushed towards me. 

At this moment I felt something coming out of my chest and charging straight towards the horse. "Vandhest, stop it. You mustn't harm her," shouted Qing Long as I looked at the sight in front of me. The water horse seemed to stop as soon as Qing Long appeared. The water horse immediately bowed in front of Qing Long. Oh? Was there some sort of hierarchy here?

If Qing Long hadn't appeared quickly enough I might have gotten hurt. To be honest I had forgotten about him. I have been so busy recently and Qing Long doesn't talk so...

"Qing Long? How are you here? Why are you protecting this child?" asked the water horse. "Camilla, this is Vandhest. He is also one of Skylar's soul beasts. He always jumps to a conclusion too easily. He must have been very shocked to find Master's presence in you hence the harshness," explained Qing Long as I nodded. Turning back towards Vandhest he muttered, "Vandhest, this is Princess Camilla Rose Avery, the descendant of our master and maybe the rebirthed version of her,". I suppose that was one way to explain our relationship. 

"No wonder I could sense her presence in you. My apologies Princess," apologised Vandhest as I forgave him. "Now can you explain where am I?" I asked. "This is just a fragrant of your imagination. I pulled you in here as I could sense master's presence in you when you touched the holy water. I'm the soul beast that is residing in this pool holding onto one of master's many souls/ powers," he explained speaking to me in a respectful tone, quite unlike before. 

Qing Long proceeded to explain everything to Vandhest about my mission and my connection with Skylar. I just stood there while Qing Long did all the talking. "Um, excuse me but I forgot to ask but what is a soul beast?" I asked. Qing Long sighed and replied "A soul beast is like a companion. Master Skylar has 8 Soul beasts and Scarlett has 8 as well. They were given these 8 souls best from the moment they were born. Each soul beast has a different power. All of Skylar's soul beasts are water creatures as she has water powers. I have the power of healing and Vandhest has the power to control time. 

I'm sure you know the history between the two. Well, it's not just legends that Master and Scarlett came from heaven its the truth. They weren't just sent to the human realm for fun. The main reason was to build a power and fight against Casimir Akuma who they believed was gonna attack the humans. But then the two sisters got in a fight over a man and only managed to seal Casimir Akuma instead of kill him,".

"To my understanding, each soul beast is protecting a part of Skylar's power/ soul. But how to get this part of her soul?" I asked. "Well, this part relies on me. I will bring you back. No one will be able to see the following events unless they are either Skylar/ Scarlett's descendants or were connected with you in your past life. The world is sort of frozen right now," explained Vandhest as he came charging towards me.
