A Tale After Four Lives

60 Chapter 60: A Problem To Solve.

Another month passed after Mythandar drank tea with Shuri and Akeno, he was sitting in his favorite spot brooding.

Having watched over (Stalked) the mother-daughter duo for over a year now, he saw something that disturbed him, Shuri seemed quite fragile at most times, she hid it very well but she seemed weak compared to how a human should be. After having tee with them Mythander made sure to take a closer look at Shuri, and there he found it... Shuri was sick. It was no ordinary sickness since it was an injury to the very core of her body, such injury could only be derived from using too much energy at once, in fact, it was using more energy than your body could naturally supply. Mythander knew this well because it was what killed him ironically.

When he cast his Divine tear spell, he used not only all his leftover manna but his life force as well, using once live force thought has dire consequences. It could lead from a light temporary weakness to a heavy crippling of one's body and to a very heavy death.

Unfortunately, t would seem Shuri was the latter, she must have gone through something that overtaxed her life force to an extreme, she luckily survived it and got herself back to health, but it was only temporary as such an injury does not fade and worst...is impossible to cure. Even Lambert who boasted the greatest of healing prowess this world has ever seen would not be able to heal her, her only saving grace would be to sustain her with a massive amount of life force, but it will not only be agony for her as she would have to endure a forced life and restricted movement but to find someone willing to sacrifice a hundred years of there life to give her on day of extra life would be hard, not to mention that she would probably never agree to such an unfavorable exchange.

'I am at an impasse, should I save her or should I let things unfold naturally without interfering.'

Sight*

Mythander chose to stop thinking about these troubling thoughts and turned his attention to the little girl running around in front of the little house trying to catch a butterfly.

'We must enjoy life to the fullest while we can...'

'If only Baraqiel knew this sad truth he would have spent more time with his wife...'

'Let continue the text of the Ach Lich'

Mythander took the black covered book from his storage space, and started reading but just as he was about to get hooked in his reading a thought appeared in his mind.

'What if I caught her soul before it disappeared and created a new body for her?'

Inspiration struck Mythander at that time like a thunderbolt and he followed his train of thoughts into creating a feasible hypothesis.

'It is easier to create a completely new body than it is to fix a broken one, not entirely but in this case, were the very core of life is harmed it is easier to make a new one.'

'Making a new life core for them already existing body is out of the question since incompatibility issues will arise, but making a core and body directly to match each other is the best solution, only I will have to wait for her eventual death before I can try and do anything since there will be a chance of the body rejecting the would and vice versa.'

Mythander felt a headache coming when he thought about the intrecasy's of creating not only an origin of life to fit the description of a body but creating the body and a soul core to house the soul.

'The life and soul core aren't tangible existence, it is only when soul and life force reach an extreme that they will form a physical core as to manifest there will in the physical realm. Creating intangible things in a tangible body that will match each other perfectly without error... fuck'

Mythander rubbed the bridge of his nose as he thought about the amount of work that was waiting for him.

So why would Mythander do all this for a somewhat complete stranger? (Excluding stalking time known). It was because that was his character, not only will he experience doing something new and put his vast knowledge to good use he will also be helping a family stay together even if they have to separate for a while.

With those thoughts Mythander started taking one book after another out of his storage space, they hovered around him as he chose one an started reading.

'Mysteries of life' was the first book's name.

Mythander started his vehement studying, he was completely engrossed in his research he even stopped going into the little house at night for better protection of the duo.

'Scriptures Of Soul Preservation'

'Arts Of Light Healing'

'Book Of Mortal Biology'

'How To Create A Second Body (For Dummy's)'

'Burgelpop's Teachings Of The Life Core'

'Jimmy's Soul Keeper Art'

'Law's Of Live'

...

...

...

Mytahnder read threw all these and more, trying to update and enhance his knowledge about the life core the soul core, and the biology of most mortal creatures the creation of an organic body and the anatomy of humans.

After accumulating enough Knowledge Mythander started testing evrything, to the horror of the poor animals that lived in the tree he was staying they became his test subjects. They never died but as he created other vessels to house their souls he tried to make it as close to the original as possible but since his experience in this sort of thing was lacking you would find a few strange creatures now living in that tree.

A palm-sized bird with massive eyes and meter-long wingspan. A spider that was shocking pink with neon blue eyes and rainbow-colored venom( Thou for severance sake Mythander did this on purpose), A lizard with feet too big for its body and a head too small and lastly another spider that had its venom sack hanging outside its body that made it look quite peculiarly like a scrotum(This time unintended).

Mythander sighed as he finally succeeded with his last vict... unwilling subject. It was a very unlucky bat that flew past him one night while he was just coincidentally missing anew subject.

The Bat looked almost exactly like its old self except for being a bit bigger and more muscular, there were luckily no defects.

'Finally... Success, but... should try some more just in case'

Mythander looked around with hawk-like eyes that made all critters tremble inf ear when his gaze past them.
