Kiada, Blood Servant System Reborn - Chapter 121

Lesha and the girls followed me outside, and Corbit and Victor were standing around, not looking busy. Corbit smiled when he saw us come out, and the two of them walked over to join us.

“What are you two doing?” I asked as they walked over.

“Waiting for you to come, no one is allowed to go in without you, but they have been helping bring eggs and fruit for us,” Corbit explained as he motioned towards the jungle.

“What are you talking about,” I asked as I looked over, but then I watched as the jungle started to come alive.

Spirits of all shapes and forms started to appear, but most of them were just colored ethereal balls of light that floated up from the ground. Some took the forms of tiny people, but they all seemed to want the same thing as they waved and motioned for me to enter.

“They got made before if we tried to enter, but they kept sending us flashes of your face into our minds. It was like they have been waiting for you or something,” Victor said, not looking at me but at the dancing sprites.

“They are cute, but is it safe for all of us to come with you, Lesha asked while latching onto my arm.

I turned to kiss the top of her head, and then I turned on the gathered crowd.

“Git! Go to the temple, I am coming with my friends, and you will let them pass with me, right?” I asked while glaring at them.

They all cheered in response and then disappeared like they were never there—all but one, a small ball that I mistook for a formless sprite.

I went over and picked it up in cupped hands. When I brought it up to my face, the sprite uncurled into a tiny blue-white kitten.

It had not attached to me yet, so I turned to Lesha. I pulled back and handed her the kitten into her waiting hair.

“Baby! What do I do with it?” Lesha asked in a mix of fright and excitement and huge eyes.

“Just hold still so I can give it a home,” I said to the over-excited Lesha, and then I place my hand on her chest.

I twisted the flames, and I reached into Lesha like I did with the others to take their magic, but this time I used the power to stretch her magical reserve. Everyone had the ability to use magic; they were born with it.

Only those with natural talent would have got magic from the first wave, but everyone would have been given a bit. Now, I could use this power to create partners for everyone; all of this was part of the great mountain of knowledge I just received while I was passed out.

“His name is Snowball! Oh my god, baby, this is adorable! Thank you so much! Such a cute little kitty!” Lesha said with excitement as she cuddled the kitten.

“I thought that you might like him. As for the rest of you, I will be helping you get your own Spirit partner. They can not fight alone, but they will help you fight and act as helpers for other things. One last thing, if you can help it, wait until you are with me to form the bond,” I told the group, and they all nodded, but Gloria.

“Any reason why?” She asked me with a raised eyebrow.

“Because some of them are little shits, and little shits grow into big shits, the cycle of shits,” I said with a straight face.

All of my info came from two different lives we had lived and had Pets or Spirit Guardians. This was different, but the same principles seem to apply, and there would always be a trickster or rotten eggs.

“Enough said, I can see what you mean from some of the ones we have seen,” Gloria said as we entered the palm tree jungle.

The path was open, but the rest of the sides of the path were covered in a veil. It was almost like the rest of the jungle was surrounded by a weird shield.

That made it hard to focus on anything past the path. I was partially tempted to go try and walk over there, but I also had a feeling that said that was a terrible idea.

[It is; the island is still sleeping. If you go in there now, you might not ever get out alive. This place is not safe yet, but soon it will be. Then you will see something that you have yet to see in all your lifetimes.]

That did pique my curiosity, and I started to pull Lesha along as we walked. Snowball kept walking back and forth across Lesha’s shoulder, and then she would try not to laugh when it would brush her neck.

Finally, after almost an hour of walking, we came to a clearing. There was a large hole in the ground in the center. There was a set of stairs that led down below, and I walked up to it, but Lishtani stopped me.

[Wait, you can not take them with you for this. You have to do this part just with us.]

I turned to Lesha and kissed her with a smile and then looked out at everyone else.

“I am going down here to do something. I think something about activating the island, but I don’t know. Please just wait for me, and I will be back,” I said to everyone.

“Are you sure? Can’t I come with you?” Lesha asked as I turned back to her.

“Not this time, my love. Wait for me with Snowball, I shouldn’t be too long,” I said, leaning in for a quick kiss, but Lesha wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into a deep kiss, but then she let me go.

“You always go off and do crazy things and sleep for a day, but if you are down there, we can’t carry you to a bed!” Lesha scolded me, and I smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss.

“I will try to stop falling asleep on the job; I will be back,” I said as I started down the stairs.
