Chương 21: Soul Resonance

"You have become quite chatty since you moved to Phoenix, Samiel," Rex commented. "Perhaps, it is time you returned to your post in the Order. Our city needs you."

Samiel did not take the threat to heart.

"The King wishes to abuse his power to hide his shame. Then, the one who brings you here must be quite interesting." He laughed.

Abaddon did not want to admit the truth to Samiel, but he needed his help. If nothing else, they were friends who had grown up together. Most of their old compatriots had chosen to close up and Sleep for millennia, or they had hidden in their mountains and valleys.

He decided to speak his concerns out rightly.

"We have Soul Resonance," Abaddon said as he followed Samiel to his lab.

His black eyebrows with small flecks of gold lifted as he looked at the lab. He had been expecting to see a medical lab, but he found something different. Judging from the smells and the various food ingredients, he could only guess that it was a molecular gastronomy lab.

Samiel did not show embarrassment at the exposure of the dark secret, but Abaddon could not let it go.

"What happened to the medical prodigy of all the realms. Your talents rival your angelic father's, and he was a relic who had travelled across countless worlds. Imagine what he would say if he found you brewing wine." He laughed.

"Govad finds my creations quite intriguing. My cocktails kept his last Christmas party going on for seven days. Rumour has it that some people are still drunk." Samiel had a hint of pride.

"The medical world has lost its greatest champion." Abaddon sat down on one of the high stools.

"On the contrary, my disciple is now the greatest champion. She will surpass me." Once again, Samiel had undeniable pride.

Abaddon thought of Parvana, the heralded goddess of medicine in Farallon and the hope for the Haema dynasty for the next a thousand years.

"She is something." He nodded.

"You are digressing. Tell me about the Soul Resonance." Samiel ordered.

Soul Resonance was not a rare phenomenon, but it was rarely as strong as his case with Aisling. The effect happened when there was inherent compatibility of primordial souls.

The feeling was inexplicable to someone who had not experienced it.

Those with light compatibility described Soul Resonance as the feeling of meeting an old friend. The sense of familiarity would lead to a quick bond of friendship, which sometimes, not always, would grow into something more.

However, those with a high level of compatibility could not describe it so simply.

Some said it was a visceral hunger for another person that would gnaw at their soul. Others described it as being parched and lost in the desert and finding the only thing that could quench the deep thirst. Yet another group had compared it to drifting in darkness and then, they had found a beacon of light.

Everyone who had experienced it had their description, and the excessive use of metaphors and similes made it difficult to keep reliable records.

But one thing was certain: it was an overpowering attraction.

For those who could not control the overwhelming power of Soul Resonance, their destruction would be inevitable.

A few were unable to lead normal lives after experiencing the connection because they would rather not be apart from their soulmate, even for a moment.

It was an addiction.

Of course, there was the solution of Tethering which allowed soulmates to be separate and at peace because there would be a constant psychic link.

Unfortunately, on occasion, some soulmates would choose to sink into a Mind Meld after the Tethering. An occasional Mind Meld was not bad because there was a profoundness of sharing one mind with a soulmate.

However, the feeling of being with someone so intimately and sharing thoughts and sensations could also be addictive.

The Mind Meld could become debilitating.

Unfortunately, the Soul Resonance could not be ignored.

Once a person felt a strong Soul Resonance, they could not go back to the ordinary.

"Abaddon!" Samiel barked out, snapping Rex from his thoughts.

"Sorry, I have a lot on my mind," Abaddon said.

"Is the Soul Resonance overwhelming you?" Samiel asked with genuine concern.

The King he knew had never been one to drift off in thought or have an absentminded expression.

"Not yet. I have my ways of keeping it under control for now."

If he had not been keeping himself in check, he would not have been able to separate from Aisling twice. The fact that he had only seen her two times and could still be calm was a testament to his self-control.

"How comes you have never felt the resonance before? With your power, you would have been able to detect the resonance. Unless it is a soul that has just come of age." There was disapproval in Samiel's eyes.

"She is from the outside world." He responded quietly.

Still, Abaddon had inexplicable guilt because souls came of age and became stable at twenty. Aisling was only twenty-two years old.

"I thought that people from the mainland no longer experienced strong Soul Resonance because of the weak magical energy?" Samiel was shocked.


Chương 22: The King's Heart

Abaddon nodded.

"Most people from the mainland have a very low magical capacity. She is special." He spoke with some pride as he had played a part in Aisling's capabilities.

Samiel looked at him flatly with his purple eyes.

"It is not about the Soul Resonance." He countered the look immediately.

Rex could tell what Samiel was thinking. It was not uncommon for people who were under the effect of the Soul Resonance to be completely blind to the faults of their partners. It often took the phrase 'love is blind' to another level.

"Then, tell me how she is special." Samiel retained his scepticism.

"You know over the years, many of our people have left Panthalassa to experience the secular world. Some have returned with their partners and friends on occasion." Rex repeated well-known information.

While Panthalassa was a reclusive land, there were no strict rules against leaving and coming back later as long as one had the appropriate permits to cross the barrier and join the secular world in a low-key manner.

Most of the people who left were those born within Panthalassa, but the older members of the community would also occasionally go out to play.

Of course, some rules existed to prevent significant interference of the secular world by the more powerful people from Panthalassa. However, other things were permissible.

For example, if someone found a lover or a close bond friend, they could bring them into the reclusive world after a background check and an interview with the order.

"These people have always improved in terms of magical ability and longevity. But almost none are affected by the depth of energy in the continent. You know what that means." Abaddon added.

"They have a low magical capacity which prevents them from taking in more magic even when the air is dripping with it." Samiel agreed. "I remember one individual who had an anomaly many years ago."

Abaddon smiled.

"You treated that man. He had a high capacity for magic, so he had been starved on the mainland. When he came to Farallon, his body sucked in a lot of magical energy, causing him to have an overload reaction." He spoke.

Samiel looked at Abaddon deeply. "I did not know that you pay that much attention."

"I have no interest in your life." Rex dismissed him. "You are wondering how she is special. When she came to Panthalassa, her body absorbed magic like a sponge. She was like a bottomless pit for magic. I do not know her capacity."

Samiel looked shocked. His forgotten interest in medicine arose.

"That must have been dangerous." His purple eyes had a certain evil glint as if he wished he had been there to see the suffering for himself.

Abaddon did not take the attitude to heart. He had seen Samiel through all his phases of medical research. Moreover, his purple eyes always had a venomous quality.

"When I found her, she had almost been consumed by the magic. And it would still not stop." He explained.

"In that case, you are right. She is quite special. Her potential for growth as a magical being seems almost endless." Samiel had a thoughtful look in his eyes. "You said she almost died. How did you let it go so far? You know what would happen to you if she died."

Abaddon's eyes darkened a little.

He knew what Samiel meant.

People with powerful Soul Resonance would connect almost instantly. In most cases, it was a simple meeting. However, a touch, a sound and even a scent could trigger the connection.

If one of the parties died, the consequences were often severe. Some people would go mad because they felt a missing part of themselves. Others could not bear it and would choose death.

"I did not know about it then. I only knew when I heard her scream." He responded.

Samiel wanted to ask further, but he could see that Abaddon had become closed off.

He had a sense that there was a little more to the tale. It seemed that things had changed while he was away.

"Did you seal her ability to absorb magic?" Samiel could already guess what he had done to protect the woman.

"Yes. I used one of our old spells to bind her central Spiritual Well. She will be able to absorb some magic, but not that different from being on the mainland." Abaddon sighed.

"That will limit her growth. If the legends are to be believed, you will eventually take her as your soulmate. The Soul Resonance cannot be denied." Samiel had a more serious gaze than before.

"What can I do? The alternative will bring her death."

"If she remains weak, she will not be able to stand by your side. At best, she will have no confidence and might feel inferior to you. This will affect your relationship. At worst, she will be killed off by her love rivals." Samiel smiled as if he was talking about the weather.

Abaddon frowned. "What love rivals?"

"Your ignorance is the exact reason that she must be strong. A woman like Lussa Drakon could probably crush your little lover like a bug." Samiel sighed.

"Lussa Drakon?"

"Other people might be beneath your notice, but you have admirers everywhere who wish to be Queen. Lussa Drakon has always been the frontrunner in the battle for your heart." Samiel laughed.

Rex did not know there was such a thing. It seemed he had fallen out of touch by choosing to Sleep for a couple of centuries. Since when was there any battle for his heart?

But the most critical thing was, he could not remember any interactions with the dragon since he awoke five years ago.

Most of his interests in the Order were handled by his Cadre.

Samiel sighed in exasperation at the foolish King who did not seem to understand his appeal. Since they had been children, Abaddon had never had a high opinion of himself. After his powers had manifested, he had become the most feared person in their cohort.

Even his name had been changed to reflect the new him.

It seemed that the shadow had not disappeared.

Taking into account their old friendship, he would not mention other rivals like the potentially homicidal women at the King's residence.

He could only imagine how they would feel when they found out that their untouchable King had found his soulmate.

He lit a candle for the woman who would have a tough journey ahead of her.
