Chapter 23 - Spirit Pill

"Come quickly, to the ritual room" said Wolf. 

They were guided outside into a small building in the shape of a tree with a door on it. It was 10 meters wide at the bottom and got thinner towards the top. 

Once they were inside they saw nothing but a lab table in the corner of the neatly empty room. 

Reon watched closely as the man concocted a couple vials of an unknown potion, mixing ingredients Reon didn't know about. Thirty minutes later he watched as Wolf pricked his own finger with a knife, allowing some of his blood to mix into the vials, and within a few moments, all of the liquid within the vials rose out of the bottles and congealed together mixing and morphing. 

The final result was all of the liquid compressing into a glowing purple pill. 

"After absorbing this pill your energy will temporarily increase, and right when the evil spirit trys to drain it, you will soon be free of him, because although this energy is beneficial to you, its poisonous to most evil spirits." 

Reon looked at wolf and down at the pill now in his hands. 

"I trust you Wolf, but I still don't understand why you think an evil spirit is inside of me?" said Reon. 

"I understand, it's honestly very complicated.

There are numerous ways in which spirits of any nature, not strictly evil ones, can enter and stay within a person.

When your dealing with a spirit drains your internal energy and nothing else, it usually, is one born of curse magic or something similar in nature. 

"Curse Magic?!" Reon wondered. 

"Yes, I'm sure you know of magic as one of the great powers of the world. There are many sub divisions of magic, like the basic and complex elements which most practitioners specialize in. But, there are also much more rare and powerful forms of magic." Wolf the Spirit Doctor explained. 

"Curse magic is one such, and it can allow a practitioner to infect others with evil spirits like the one within you no matter how far away the person is." 

"Well, curse magic is just the term to describe the negative pole of Bless magic. User's choose whether to "bless" someone with "Good" or "Evil" intention. It's up to the user. Curse magic is not inherently evil." Wolf explained. 

"I see" said Reon. 

Reon thought to himself. 

"This is incredible, magic is even more bizzare and powerful then I ever expected. I have to open my mind to the potential of The Great Powers." 

The Great Powers - 

Martial Power

Magic Power

Spirit Power

Mental Power

Technological Power

Even Raqm'El was learning much, nodding his head. 

"The Spirit Pill I gave you will reverse the negative pole, so that instead of draining your energy, the spirit will leave it alone." said Wolf.

"Alright." said Reon downing the pill. 

Wolf thought to himself, "No need to get his hopes up and tell him this, but if he truly is a genius, the Spirit Pill with my spirit blood could do much more than just neutralize the spirits pole. It could push it to the positive end of the spectrum and empower him. But, if He is that much of a talent??". 

Just as Wolf said, the evil spirit in Reon's Interior Realm, chained to his Reon's Enery Tree, noticed a bloom in the tree, purple leaves sprouting all around. 

The skull looking fiend immediatley ramped up its usual constant energy drain to actively suck up more energy. Purple lighning from every black chain entered the spirit causing Reon's Interior Tree to wilt somewhat. 

But moments after the Spirit did so, it began to shriek allowed, it no longer was actively draining energy and it felt it couldn't any longer. 

"What is going on!" it felt. 

Inside the fiend felt off, as if its one purpose for existence was now wrong. 

Why should it drain this tree, keep it from blooming, instead it should help it bloom!

Red, purple, and blue lighting shot out from the evil spirit at great velocity, pouring into Reon's tree of energy. Many leaves sprouted, as the tree quickly grew more than it ever had. Meanwhile the spirit itself began to wilt away. 

"He's doing it!" said wolf, who had been prying into Reon, as he sat there still for the last 10 minutes. 

"You should feel it soon kid, get ready to control and condense your internal Energy!" said Wolf. 

Reon began to deeply breath meditating. He felt the strangest sensation, familiar yet at the same time somethin he knew he hadn't felt. A wave of warm light besieged him. Like he was being hugged by the universe. 

He felt closer with nature as the warm light from within spread to every corner of his body, and as he opened his eyes never had he seen more clear. 

As he inhaled, never had he breathed so deep. Never had he felt so stable yet flexible, so powerful and strong, yet subtle and light.

This feeling of oneness reeled in to his core, spread out to his entire being, then shifted it between his limbs. 

"How can someone grow that fast?" Raqm'El who was now shocked as he looked at his disciple, thought. "This is not the presense of someone who just gained energy control."

Wolf would have agreed had he heard that, or rather he would have called it an understatement, because although Raqm'El could only gauge from presense, As a spirit doctor, Wolf could see things deeper. 

Behind Reon he caught a glimpse of something unlike anything he'd ever seen. 

Instead of Reons spirit manifesting as an image as most peoples would, Wolf saw a light, then immediately entered into a vision. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A void of white light surrounded wolf, then a great gateway appeared. The gateway that was closed for milleniums was just opened, finally letting the golden light on the other side shine through. 

It was so blinding that Wolf shielded his eyes.

"The light feels so good, I must see what on the other side!" Wolf thought, forcing his eyes to look at the blinding light!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh" Wolf screamed loud in the ritual room before falling to his knees, suprising Reon and Raqm' El.
