Interlude Fifteen
Through the Eyes of a Stranger
Crioone raised her head to the west and cried out as a pain struck her light a bolt of light. Fear entered her, for she could not sence anything unnatural aound her, which meant that the attack had come out of no where. Unless the pain had come from an actual bolt of lightning.
But she was not that lucky. The pain continued and seemed to grow with each second she stood in place. Crioone took to the air, but nothing she did could get her away from the pain. And she was blinded, and as her eyes widened, not taking in anything, she crashed into the ground, her legs cracking and her wings folding uderneath her body.
The blue deamons opened her eyes once more to see if her vision had come back, and she was shocked at what she saw. The deamon called Vulture was in front of her, and he was covered in small micor bugs. She looked at herself and cried out when she observed a human body, with hands and dark hair.
What the hell is going on? Suddenly the body she was looking through twisted it's head and cried out in shock. Crioone tried to see what was wrong. At first it eluded her. Then she noticed why. She was in her own body. And then the image flashed away and he was back in the human body.
Waves of deamonic energy spilled over her and she looked up at her body ten feet in front of her. It was at this point that she finally realised what was going on.
-What the hell is going on? The human echoed Crioone's own thoughts from her own body. But Crioone was ready to respond.
"Fear not. You are fine. I will guard your body while you fight with my own. I am Crioone, the deamon you have searched long and hard for. Use my body to destroy this deamon's hope, but do not kill him. What the Yits said was true: he will be usefull in the search for Ragnon." Crioone continued and explained the basics of deamonic energy, as well as to caution the human in his actions with it.
The micro organisms that covered the human's body that Crioone was watching through reall bugged her. Their constant movements were a distraction, but she tried her best to ignore them She was protecting the human's body, not fighting with it.
"Do not fear when they cover you. Like I said, Deamonic energy is different from Magical Energy. You don't need to focus my energy anywhere; it will come out in a wave of power from all over my body, so it can't be blocked the same way they blocked your power.
The human nodded, and a wave bigger than any Crioone had seen in her life exploded from her deamon body. All around the micro organisms fell to the ground. Crioone almost cheered, but as she opened her mouth to do so she found she was opening her own mouth. Crioone stayed quiet, waiting for a sign that what she had experienced was real.
A voice that sounded familiar echoed in her head, but quiet at first, so she did not understand the words. Focusing more, she began to here more of what the voice was saying.
"In your current state of only one body, you cannot communicate with Crioone, and although she can here you, she cannot communicate with you either. I am not sure how you were able to split your beings apart like that, because of according to the laws of Deamonic and Magical beings, once together like this you cannot be split without meeting where you destinies would normally meet. However, what you did in your deamonic state was incredible, is not fatally dangerous to the world of Speed. The amount of energy you released was amazing. Don't do it again. It offsets the balance of enrgy in the atmosphere." The voice finished, never giving any hint as to who it was. Then the human voice returned, and Crioone knew that what she had experienced was real.
-He can never stay long enough to answer my questions, can he?
