Toxic Empress

Meeting Soul Scraps

Xena stepped slowly closer to a white iron bars decorated with vines. Xena found a long blonde woman lying unconscious in the cage. Xena approached her, the woman's eyelids moved for a moment hearing Xena's footsteps. As soon as she woke up, her red bead lit up and glared at Xena. For some reason at that time Xena gasped in shock, because the girl's face was very similar to her.

Xena made no sound, she was still stunned at the sight of the helpless weak girl. The girl tried to get up, her hands and feet were entangled in black chains that made her unable to run anywhere. It was as if his movements were bounded by an endless space and shackled by a pitiful aura. Slowly the girl raised her head, she looked at Xena with a look full of joy.

“Who are you?” Finally, Xena chose to open her voice, no matter where she looked at the woman, it was very clear that it was herself.

“Ahh, you have come apparently, you must be confused to see the other you in front of you. As you find, I am Xena, I am you, and I am an immortal soul sealed in your soul space,” explained the woman.

“You are me? What is an eternal soul? I don't know what you mean.”

The woman smiled faintly, looking down at her face as if there was no hope of life surrounding her. Feeble jemari gulai tried to touch the cage, he seemed to want to be closer to Xena.

“True, we were one, in the first life we lived a life full of twists and turns. We fell in love with Verden, but eventually the man lost his way after seeing us die from human activities. He's trying to get me out of here to get us back to full and loving him the way we used to. However, the way is wrong, he turns our souls into puppet souls to prevent our self-rebellion. As a result we move according to what he wants, but in life this time is different. We met sooner than I thought, now Verden is missing the chance to make us his dolls.”

A very long answer, but thanks to that answer Xena understood the reason why he obeyed Verden's orders so much in the past. Even Xena remembered she had once attacked an innocent human being. Xander ends up having to kill Xena for the safety of mankind. Xander blames himself for committing suicide in order to return to the past.

“Then why did you get sealed? What happens after death in the first life? To be honest my memory was still not fully recovered, there were many erratic memories coming in filling my head. Please explain to me, what do you know exactly?”

The girl who claimed to be a piece of Xena's soul was bowed in lethargy, not knowing how long she had waited for the day where she could communicate with Xena. There were many things that Xena did not know, now was the time where she had to share the story.

“Listen to me, Verden used to be not this kind of man, he is one part of the demon clan that has a very good personality. We are attracted to him because we see him always helping the weaker person without expecting anything in return. Verden likes crowds, he hates solitude, he loves cold drinks, and he hates hot drinks. Verden loved peace, he loved men too, but as a result of his betrayal he turned violent.

After we die at the hands of humans, Verden deliberately shackles our immortal souls and sends some souls to reincarnate. However, when he encountered some of the souls he sent to reincarnate, Xander apparently found you first. Xander loves you and you love Xander, which is what makes Verden angry. When he was planning on merging our two souls, he installed even more powerful shackle magic so that he could make us his whole possession,”.

Xena is at a loss for words, but from the story Xena realizes something very important. Xena narrowed the distance between her and her other soul, after hearing the story Xena felt concerned for Verden.

The woman gasped, it seemed that Xena's conjecture was true, even though they were one but they had something opposite. Xena pressured the immortal soul to speak honestly to him.

“You realized it faster.”

“Of course I realized, are you stupid or what? We are one, your feelings are flowing through my heart. What do you feel then I feel it too, there is no way I let your feelings bother me.”

A smile full of scars on the woman's lips, Xena managed to guess her entire heart and mind in an instant.

“Yes, your guess is right, I used to do that for the sake of continuing with Verden. I'm really sorry for—”

“Sorry? You still dare to apologize to me? Do you have any idea how much Xander's suffering is turning time around for me? Do you know how broken my son's heart is that he can't enjoy his happy time with me and Xander? Why are you so selfish? Why are you acting all you want? I can't forgive you. Xander's suffering has hurt my heart so much. Thenwhat? You're apologizing? I can't forgive you, ” Xena looked at the girl with teary eyes.

“I expected it, it is impossible for you to forgive you, even though we are one but we have different hearts. If I were you, I probably wouldn't forgive this. However, it doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, but I beg you to restore Verden to his former self. He's a good guy, he just went the wrong way, can you do it?” pinta the girl.

Xena let out a long sigh, she did not understand at all why part of her soul could do such a disservice. However, Xena had no choice but to grant her soul's request.

“Alright, we are one, but our hearts are different, you love Verden sincerely. However, Verden is not aware of this problem, ‘right? So, how about we make a deal?” bargain Xena.

“Deal?”

Xena nodded her head and replied, “I'll let you see Verden later, I'm sure Verden will listen to you. But on the condition that you lend me your strength, I need your strength to fight Verden. Then I'll also figure out how to divide our souls and send you to a new container so you can be happy with each other again with Verden.”
