Grey kept walking without any sense of direction. His path was already tainted by the blood of the fallen, despite his being one of them. However, that didn't change his hunger for the blood of the dark spirits. He who challenged the hegemony of the spirits wasn't afraid of the wrath of the dark spirits.
Zzz*
Grey looked at his arms with a calm expression because there were additional 4 tattoos, but they weren't that big. Each of them was connected by lines that represented the evilness of his heart, but he could control that dark side of him, unlike Darkness who was driven by his madness.
" I am tired."
Grey said, closing his eyes to rest. The trees around him were eerie and quiet despite he was in the middle of the forest. The trees were observing this dark spirit since he intruded on their territory. However, he didn't move or try to destroy the lives in the area like other dark spirits. Instead, he was sleeping soundly while leaning on the tree with a calm face.
Shwaa*
The spirits curiously watched this abnormal spirit. Their energies were flooding the area with a rich amount of life force. Especially, trees felt the hearts of these creatures through their power.
One of the lesser spirits approached Grey with a careful expression on her face. She was similar to fairies, but her body wasn't made of flesh like them. It was the pure manifestation of nature itself.
Click*
She gently flew towards his face and observed him. He was big as the advanced spirits, but he didn't have that kind of pure aura around him, instead, he was the personification of the unknown. Neither dark spirit nor spirit, something between them attracted the attention of the spirits and nature.
The spirit silently reached out his face and caressed him with her little hands. His skin was soft as the dandelion in the field. Moreover, he smelled very nice, but there was the fishy smell of blood lingering around him.
The eyelashes of Grey trembled from the sudden movement. He gently opened his eyes and saw an orb floating in the air. He could see the figure of the girl in the orb and she was looking at him with those innocent eyes of hers.
Grey tilted his head with confusion since no spirits dared to approach him because of his nature. Grey lifted his arm and poked the lesser spirit with a serious gaze.
The little spirit seemed to be offended by his behavior, it hovered around his head to express her displeasure.
Grey was amused by her behavior. He opened his mouth.
" Do you want to travel with me? I don't want to bring those guys, but you are kind of special to me."
Grey asked with a light tone to hide his feelings about this little spirit. After all, she was the first spirit to approach him who had the power of the two powerful spirits and the soul of a human.
The little spirit hesitated for a moment as she was curious about him too. She gently flew to her fellow spirits and floated around them to receive their approval.
At first, they were adamant about him being a dark spirit, but they changed their minds because even though he was a dark spirit, he didn't try to eradicate them. In lieu, he was calmly observing them.
The little spirits encouraged her to follow him since the spirits loved adventuring, but no one could perceive their existence except for a few people, beastmen, and elves.
She flew back to his shoulder and sat down it. Furthermore, one more spirit bravely followed her. He was a spirit of fire who gained intelligence with her at the same time, so he regarded her as a relative.
Grey's eyes narrowed, but he allowed them to stay on his shoulder. He wanted to know about these kinds of his and he wanted to find his life goal.
" I will call you Light and Fire since you are the spirits of the light and the fire. You can call me Grey if you can talk."
He spoke while getting up from the ground. He leisurely picked up his sword and placed it on his back. The spirits felt the ego of this weapon which was surprising since only a handful of weapons had egos.
