Supreme Beast: The Book Of Souls

Miss Moraya Fildow

With his eyes fluttering open, Nux woke up to the sound of water pouring, and the sound of a clothing being squeezed.

He looked to his side and saw the delicate, smooth and unblemished hands of a woman move to his head. He tried to resist, but he was too weak to even lift a finger. He felt numb, and cold too.

Soon, he felt the clothing rest on his head, a warm feeling washed over him, he felt his eyes clearing and feeling return to his body slowly, then he began to feel his fingers twitching.

He opened his eyes finally to see a hand resting on his head and releasing a warm green glow, the hand obscured the person's face, but he could make out the details of a feminine figure.

The hands resting on his head had two bead jewelries on them. He saw the clean off-white silk clothing worn by the woman and tied by the waist with a beautiful root like rope.

At the neck, the cloth was parted to reveal large cleavages that he definitely knew were as soft as marshmallows. The parted area of the dress was beautifully designed with what looked like a myriad of colourful threads, but mostly green .

The ladies slim waist perfectly fit the clothing, drawing him in and making him just want to grab her by the waist.

Nux resisted his urges and tilted his head slightly to get a look at the woman's face.

A pair of hazel eyes graced him with their beauty, auburn hair that was packed into a ponytail with the same root like rope used to tie it. Her smooth face was captivating, she had perfect bow shaped rosy red lips, thin eyebrows and an oval shaped face that accommodated all this features.

Nux opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by the woman's gentle and sonorous voice.

"Easy there young one, don't move too much or make any sudden movements, it might cause a permanent backlash." Her voice rang out in Nux's ears.

Nux felt as if he had been entranced and listened to her intently. It just felt okay to do as she said.

The lady stood up from the stool and placed her hands to the side. Green particles of energy were expelled from the outstretched hand and took the shape of a book.

The book was about fifteen inches in length, as thick as his world's history books and was ten inches wide. It was releasing a green wave of energy around it that seemed to fill the air itself with energy.

She spoke some word silently, the book flipped open and stopped at a page, she gestured towards the pale of water and the clothing she had used on him, and they both turned into showers of sparks and streaked into the books page before it closed shut, and disappeared in the same green particles it was formed from.

Nux stared in awe at the marvelous sight, it wasn't everyday that you see an awakened make use of their abiities.

Nux felt his trance break as the book disappeared, but he still didn't move from the bed, he didn't know what to do, should he ask the woman who she was? He had the right to know. Right? Where was he? What happened to the gauntlet? Was it taken away by someone? Did he die and reincarnate in another world again?

Seeing his confused look, the woman took it up on herself to clear his doubts.

"My name is Moraya Fildow, a healer of the Sacred Life Guild." Moraya said with a slight bow. "Sir Nicole, my contractor, tasked me with treating your injuries when he brought you to his abode some hours ago. He is currently in the living room awaiting you. Do you mind if I escort you there?"

'Sir Nicole, isn't that our rich neighbor who's a member of some guild, so he was the one who saved me, I though I had actually died again.' Nux thought before furrowing his brows.

He stared at her a little warily, he couldn't just trust anyone yet, how sure was he that she spoke the truth? However he immediately threw those thoughts out of his mind and slipped his legs out of the sheets covering him. 'She could have harmed me earlier if she wanted to.'

As he was about to get up from the bed, he felt a cold breeze from the open window caress his skin. He looked down and saw his thingy that was about to be revealed through the sheets, he paled. Quickly, he pulled them back and sat down.

"Umm... I'll need a clothing if I want to leave this place." With a red face, he asked. "I can't be walking around naked."

The lady realizing this, got a little red in the face too, but she replaced that look with a poker face immediately and turned around.

She left the room and returned with a set of clothing, it consisted of a pair of blue trousers, a white silk shirt and a pair of slippers.

The lady gave him some privacy and he quickly got dressed, he stepped out of the congested room and met the lady waiting patiently, and without further ado, they began to walk through the hallway.

Nux got lost in his own world and was staring around like a country bumpkin.

The walls were lined with stones that illuminated everywhere, the stones bright yellow and white colour created a beautiful image, highlighting the reflecting walls that were as smooth as glass.

There wasn't anything like a carpet or tile on the floor, it was just beautified with what looked like marbles and pearls which reflected the stones light, and illuminated areas that the light didn't get to.

Nux found themselves nearing a door, he pulled himself together and tried to act normal, he didn't want Mr Nicole to notice any difference in him.

As they got to the door, Moraya pulled it open and gestured for him to follow. Nux moved without any objections.

Moraya walked into the spacious living room and found a sofa to seat on. She helped herself to some tea and began to sip it gently.

To the side, Nux noticed a middle aged man staring at a brown book that released a dreadful aura. Mr Nicole waved a hand and recalled the book, turning to Nux with a bright smile on his face.

"Nux, how are you feeling?"
