***

The vast darkness of her receptacle, unknown where, with no energy to sustain my life, I, as well as my sister, waited for my soulmate - gradually fading away from the burning thirst, falling more and more into slumber and sweet sleep.

I do not know how long I lay like that in the dust - idle, in the utter darkness of solitude, where my call very faintly reached my elder sister. Where we could only speak figuratively, conveying strong emotions to each other with some loss of strength.

But even so, we tried to keep in touch, and at one point, my sister found her happiness - a carrier! Joy and bitterness gripped my heart at the realisation of my sister's well-being. She - had found her soulmate, but could do nothing to help me not to fade away. For the strength to do so had been lost in the long months of our inaction.

My destiny was to stay here forever, to fade away and fade into dust, because I was cursed, and it was unlikely that I would ever find my soul mate. With that I accepted, all I had to do was fall asleep and forget myself....

'W-what is it? I've been taken? H-have I been taken?' - Feeling weightless, I tried to look at the world, but failed - my strength left me, oppressing my mind into a half-sleep. And afterwards I found myself for a few seconds in a cold void, where it was pleasant to be surrounded by saturated energy!

The drowsiness was washed away with a violent flood, but a second later I found myself in a warm embrace, but strangely... part of my body was not with me. My thoughts were strangely gone, as if I had fallen back into a half-sleep, but also with this I realised: I had been found, I had found my host! My duty and my purpose fulfilled!

As I found myself once again in a dense and cold void....

'Strange...' - My thoughts pieced together again, and I gained a whole consciousness. Despite being treated so rudely, I didn't mind such a thing. If my soulmate wants it, I'll accept it, because my goal is to protect him at the cost of my life, but for that, as much as I hate to admit it, I need magical energy or....

Or... it won't work, I'm too weakened during this period of time, I hope my soulmate will forgive me for the rough merge, after all it's for our sake, otherwise there is no way....

I reached for my soulmate's Aura, but I was immediately confronted with an impassable barrier in the form of a transparent barrier. Something or other was preventing me from merging with my soulmate and PROTECTING HIM! To hold him close to me...

Unthinkable and impossible!

'W-what! N-impossible...I...I'm...I'm...how?' - my usual, cold, in my nature, reasoning, vanished in a burst of vivid bewilderment. Never before in my life had I experienced such vivid emotion!

A shiver of fear ran through me, and my mind raced in search of a solution to the problem. I... I... did not know what to do... For the first time I gave a slackness and settled... if I could, where I was!

With a devoted and puppy-like gaze, I watched the bright Aura of my soulmate - biting my lips in resentment and inability to embrace him with my spiritual embodiment!

'How... how... so... why? There is no connection between us?' - I couldn't do anything. All my skills were related to mana - which I don't have and connection, where I could incarnate myself and become perfect for my soulmate...

Huddled in a ball, I withdrew into myself - densely engaged in analysing the bond.

'No... the connection works!' - I came to the conclusion after a while, for my real body had already adjusted to him! Between us, though a faint, almost imperceptible line - there was a thread linking both of us, feeding me with crumbs of mana....

It was so thin and imperceptible that it could break at any moment!

'I won't allow it!' - With clear purpose and intent, I gave my all and fed our bond! Even though it was negligible, unpleasant for my condition, I was building up the strength between us step by step while half asleep.

* * *

It was not several hours later that I was troubled with excitement. Nourishing the bond, I completely detached myself from what was happening, and when it trembled, my heart shook with a vise. Not quite realising, still being in a half asleep state, I looked round.

The connection was trembling, and so was my inner world! Danger! The soulmate in trouble! The bright Aura that warmed me began to smoulder and go out! The realisation of this wedged itself into my head!

'No!' - My heart ached, my eyes dimmed. Her hands reached for him, but a barrier kept her out.....

She wanted to help and save him, but all attempts had failed from the start! And if this continued - her only soulmate would die! And she couldn't let that happen!

The only way out was to keep the connection alive! Not to let the soul leave its receptacle and then she would think of something!

The strength, the little crumbs that she had gathered so much during all this time, was completely given to the connection! Her emotions, her hopes - everything she had became the material for it...

A bright Flash... accompanied by a melodious tune, and she passed out, falling into a semblance of anabiosis until the next opportunity...

Darkness again... but now she was warmed by a bright aura - his warmth, and the realisation that everything had worked out. Her soulmate was alive and partially merged with her....

For the first time in her life, she finally found and merged with her soulmate, rejoiced through sleep at her first smile... The existence of the cursed solitary armour ended for her at that moment.

And with every day, with every minute they lived, they became closer and merged into one: the energy accumulated in her, the bond thickened, and at some point - they became finally one. But even so, finding themselves together, her mind was asleep, until at one point she tasted a particle of her soulmate...

A piece of his life - faith and hope, lust and love - that made her moan in exhaustion and bring her legs together from the blazing heat in her lower abdomen. In the light of which, she was blinded by a bright and alien flash, finally awakening her from sleep, giving her long-awaited freedom!
