Kaiser of the New World

Hey soul... something? (43)

"I can't do it."

"Yes you can, feel it inside you. Feel it pound and throb, find where it is."

"It's too hard!"

"You're never going to get better by giving up and saying it's too hard."

Opening his eyes, Kai glares at The Ever-changing and uncrosses his legs while staying in his sitting position.

"Meditation is useless, I've tried it before and it just doesn't work. If you can see my memories you should know I can't do it."

The Ever-changing raises an eyebrow, looking at Kai questionably.

"Did you have a God teaching you then?"

Damn it...

"No, but-"

"Well then that's your problem, now suck it up and get back to meditating. We don't have long before you'll have to wake up."

Why can't we just go back to drinking.

For the last few dream hours, The Ever-changing has been nicely asking Kai to meditate to find his soul. At first, Kai thought they were kidding. He thought that souls were just a metaphor, not something actually in his body.

Trying to find a soul by meditating is not fun, to say the least. Kai never was one for sitting still for long periods of time, in fact, just being still in general wasn't for him. If he didn't have Nonchalance while in the white room he doesn't know what he would've done.

"Every soul looks, feels and tastes differently-"

Kai's eyes snap open as his jaw drops, looking up at his master like he's just said the weirdest thing ever, which they have.

"Tastes?"

The Ever-changing gazes down at Kai as he takes swig from a can of the apple beer, as if teasing Kai.

"Of course, there's many races in the world which consume souls, though you wouldn't really want to meet or associate with them as the ones who eat souls are seen like how your home world saw cannibals by majority of the other kingdoms."

That's weird.

"So what, I should use my toungue to find my soul?" Kai asks in a slightly annoyed tone, the fact he has to meditate when he could be doing really anything else annoys him more than-

"If it works" The Ever-changing shrugs. "Souls are different for everyone, if you can find it with your toungue then try it. Just make sure you don't get addicted to the taste, you'd get hunted down like a rabid animal or galactic criminal."

Rolling his eyes behind his eyelids, Kai complains to himself under his breath as he goes back to trying to find his soul.

"The first step to soulcery is to find your soul, after that the world is your oyster. That's a good saying from your home world, I'm going to steal it for future use."

"I'm starting to think you were overexaggerating how good this skill was."

Sighing, The Ever-changing puts down their can and makes their way over to Kai. Sitting down in front of him, The Ever-changing puts out their hand and says:

"I'll give you a hint."

A small, silver orb manifests in The Ever-changings hand. The orb has seems almost transparent, yet you can't see through it. A slight glow surrounds the orb as it twinkles.

"This is what a soul can look like, this soul belonged to someone I knew before I was imprisoned."

The Ever-changing then took Kai's eyes into their own and placed the orb in his palm.
