- POV Freya -

*Kira...it's time*

The time had finally come to release my little sister after having made her that promise a while ago. Kira was silent and the only thing I could hear with my pointed ears was my heart beating wildly. Closing my eyes slowly, I began to concentrate, as if to get into my mind. I wanted to visualize with precision, the connection I had with her.

There was not a sound in the room, everything was quiet, and even my heart seemed to have stopped. Once again I found myself in my mental palace, this time trying to visualize it as a spool of threads. As everything transformed at an impressive speed, I began to imagine a golden thread. The same one I could see when I telepathically linked Kira to the others.

The more I concentrated, the more I could see that one thread running into a multitude of others. I didn't know if I was really experiencing all this, but my mind was so fast that I could feel everything. I followed this wire and went into this labyrinth that represented everything in my head. As I moved forward, I could see the golden thread disappear under a curtain of others that I had to cross.

It went deeper and deeper, and the further I walked, the narrower the threads around it became, making it difficult to move forward. As if they represented the different layers of my mind, my soul, I was exhausting myself both mentally and physically. However, after a few minutes, I could see the golden thread stop a little further on. It was brighter than the others at the end, shining brightly.

*Finally...the source...Kira's soul...*

I was surrounded by threads of different colors that formed a small dome around one that ended with a golden light. This light was my little sister's soul buried deep within my own. It twinkled like a star, was warm as the sun and as comforting as a summer afternoon. Without further ado, I gently reached out to grasp her.

Kira couldn't see or hear me because I was deep in my soul and I couldn't hear her either. However, when my hands touched that soft golden light, I could feel a wave of emotion wash over me. They were all mixed up, uncontrollable, confused and disorganized like an erupting volcano. For the first time, it was my turn to probe my sister's soul.

*Is...is that all you feel right now, Kira ?*

There was fear, excitement, joy...lots of joy, sadness, lots of love and...pain ? It wasn't much, but I could feel a slight pain running through my entire thought process. It was different from when I was in my body because instead of having a focused place, I felt everything all over the place. What I was experiencing was how Kira felt pain.

*I...I didn't know Kira could feel physical pain ! She never told me...*

It was bearable and much less intense than what I felt physically, but it wasn't pleasant. It was like feeling pain but just mentally, without having bones, nerves, blood, or body. The more I thought about it, the closer I got to that light, as if it were my turn to become one with it. It was only a few inches from my chest when suddenly images flashed through my mind.

In just a few moments, I could see everything Kira had experienced and how she had experienced it from where she was. The days, weeks, months of her little life flashed through my soul and heart. Then, as my own emotions gradually mingled with Kira's, the last few events were replayed in me, along with everything my little sister had felt.

*wow...*

I saw my battle with the snake demon, the fox demon, and a flood of emotions washed over me as if I had become their vessel. I felt a tremendous fear that even in my three lifetimes I had never achieved, as well as a heartbreaking sadness. As I tried to control these emotions, I could see the moment when the fox had inflicted my most painful wounds.

Everything was exactly as I had experienced it, but to relive it without feeling the ground beneath my feet, the smell of blood, or my beating heart, was very strange. I was standing there trying to reach the snake as the fateful moment came. In an instant, I saw the fox demon sink its fangs deep into my skin again. At the same time, an electric shock shook my mind in a wave of pain.

*What the... uuurg !*

Like thousands of little needles pricking my whole mind, this sensation made it numb, painful, and subject to great pressure. I had never experienced this kind of psychic pain and it was very different from what I had experienced earlier. It was like pricking the nerves of my brain repeatedly, sending waves of sensation that were difficult to bear for too long.

*This...this idiot...why didn't you say something Kira ?*

For the first time in all this time, I realized that from the beginning my little sister had felt all the pain I had felt. It was different and still less violent than in reality, but for Kira who was still a young soul, it must have been hard. I knew she hadn't said anything to me because she didn't want me to worry, but I couldn't help but wonder how brave she was.

Concentrating harder, I now held that golden light close to my heart, protecting it tenderly, for after all, it was my little sister.

- PING -

[ Master of Souls (lvl 1) > Master of Souls (lvl2) ]

Without bothering with the notification, I made my way through my mind back to where it all began. I still had Kira's soul against me and I made sure that nothing could alter its glow. Nothing could happen to her, but I was driven by an unconditional love for my little sister who would soon be able to see the world with her own eyes.

Gradually I came back to reality, as if I was coming out of a very long dream as I felt my chest heat up. Looking down I could see that same golden light trapped in my chest, making my black tattoo glow like the sun. I no longer felt the pain of earlier and as I took a deep breath, a notification appeared in front of me.

- PING -

[ Do you want to disassociate this soul from yours ? This action will remove the unique skill "Second Soul". Also, once disassociated, you will have very little time to manipulate it before it evaporates with the surrounding mana. Does the host still want to continue ? ]

[ YES/NO ]

*Yes !*

We had waited far too long and I could feel the excitement and joy rising in me as I gave my answer. Kira seemed to have gone into a state of sleep since I had touched her soul, which reassured me. I could concentrate fully and make sure that my little sister would arrive at my side, safe and sound. Thus began the long-awaited dissociation of our two souls.

[ Dissociation of the second soul:...46%...55%...69%...75%...85%...96%...100% ]

[ Skill Removal : Second Soul (lvl max) - unique ]

[ Congratulation s! The operation was successful, the soul can now be handled and placed in your storage space or in a body ]

[ Countdown Begins : 04 min 58 sec ]

I had only five minutes to manipulate Kira's sleeping soul, which I now held in my right hand. It was warm, soft, and at that moment I knew that I held a real treasure in the palm of my hand. Without wasting a second, I moved towards the body of the fox who was still lying in front of me, looking almost asleep. I placed my left hand on its forehead to connect its being to my mana.

[ 03 min 42 sec ]

I concentrated as best I could as I brought the light closer to the beast's body. The gesture may have seemed harmless, but in reality I was busy making sure Kira's soul didn't get swallowed up by my mana. The fox's body was full of it, and I had to be patient and thorough if I didn't want to mess it up. Gradually, I could see the light disappearing before a new notification appeared.

- PING -

[ The second soul was indeed implanted into the body of the demon Greedy Fox. Lucifer, please name your first Sin Demon ]

*Kira...her name is Kira...*

[ Congratulations Lucifer ! Kira has been added to your system as the first Demon, you now have access to her status in your Empire menu. Her awakening is imminent ! ]

[ The Freya system has recognized the entity Kira as the host's little sister - Little sister : Kira (Greedy Fox) ]

As all these notifications rang in my head, only a few words held my attention: "Her awakening is imminent". My heart was beating heavily in my chest and despite my loss of MP which had made me tired again, I felt great. Suddenly, as I tried to calm myself, the fox's body began to glow with an intense red and gray.

It shone so brightly that I could not look too hard as I hid my eyes behind my hand. The light became more and more intense before it suddenly began to fade away little by little after enveloping the fox's body. The more the light disappeared, the more I could discover that there was no longer any huge body but a young woman lying on the stone.

She was curled up in the fetal position, without any clothes on, her eyes closed and her face calm and serene. The first things that struck me were her long wavy hair as grey as the most magnificent silver, her three large bushy tails, her large fox ears but also a horn she wore on the right side of her forehead. This sleeping young woman...she was Kira.

- POV General -

In this large room of the pantheon where so much had happened, Freya stood on her knees next to a young female fox demon. The Empress' hands were shaking as she pulled a cloak from her storage space to cover her younger sister's naked body. As the sheet slid over her skin, the young woman suddenly began to move as she awoke.

"Kira ? Kira can you hear me ?"

Freya's long red hair turned black again as she resumed her usual humanoid form. Behind her back, her long, thick black tail waved from left to right as her ears moved on their own. As the she-wolf struggled to hide her excitement, she called to Kira, who still didn't move despite the few movements she had.

"Little sister ? What the hell happened ? Everything worked out though I.."

As Freya began to panic, she stopped in mid-sentence before squinting. Kira, who was on the ground, had let out a slight smile, but although it was discreet, it hadn't escaped the Empress' notice. At that moment, the she-wolf was now moving her fingers to her little sister's forehead gently and quietly. Kira thought to hide her smile well and did not move without knowing what was coming.

"Aaouuuch !! Onee-sa..."

Without warning, Freya had flicked Kira's forehead and she had suddenly straightened to the ground in surprise. However, she didn't have time to say anything as a body, both warm and cold, pressed against her. The moment Kira had straightened up, her older sister had thrown herself on top of her and hugged her. Nothing mattered to Freya, who had dreamed of this moment so much.

"Onee-san...I..."

For the first time, the young woman who had never been herself before was free and enjoying the warmest hug she'd ever had. Freya still hadn't seen Kira in detail because all she wanted was to hug her. All these emotions, these feelings, even without a single word spoken, the two sisters were passing them on to each other while on Kira's face, her first tears were flowing.

"Onee..*sniff* san...I...*sniff*...I'm out...*sniff* !"

"Yes little sister...welcome !"

The fox girl hugged her big sister as tightly as she could while the tears wouldn't stop flowing. At that moment, Kira was a bit like a baby discovering emotions and her bodily reactions and couldn't stop crying. Freya didn't say a word and smiled tenderly as her cheeks seemed to glow slightly.

After long minutes filled with tenderness and love, the Empress loosened her embrace to take her little sister's face in her hands. She wiped away the tears that had fallen and as she smiled, Kira opened her eyes for the first time. At that moment, two pairs of violet eyes met for the first time as each seemed mesmerized by the other.

"You are...beautiful onee-san..."

Kira's face had begun to blush furiously as she could now observe her older sister's face more accurately. Unfortunately, she could feel herself blushing and felt even more embarrassed knowing this and didn't know what to do about it in front of Freya. As for the Empress, she was mesmerized by her little sister's face and how happy she was to have her by her side.

Each was in their own world for different reasons though their immense happiness was shared. Not knowing what to say to Freya's piercing gaze, Kira looked for something to say to break the ice and it worked. As usual, she had come up with the first silly thing that came to mind, which woke up her older sister and her penchant for flickering.

"So..ahem...when do I get to be the Queen of the Elysium Empire ?"

"..."

"Pffhaha~ Yes I...Aouuuch !! Onee-san !"

"kufufu~ you can be the flick Queen"

Thus began the first meeting of the two sisters who had been waiting for this moment for a long time. These two sisters who loved each other deeply and madly but who, despite the situation...were always true to themselves.
