Temporal Pearls

"Haha. The only good thing in this chaos!" Seth said delighted by that but to his horror, the creature moulded his body parts and made a penis and scrotum even with two balls inside.

"Good. Now I have all that you have!" Serodo smiled with satisfaction while Seth frowned. The creature was able to feel all the organs in Seth's body and that was why he questioned himself.

That didn't stop, normal crodo does not have normal animal body organs and functions but Serodo's ability to manipulate his body part allowed him to make all the organs he can feel from Seth.

Hooo

"I breathed. I have all you have now!" And then his skin which was dark and rough like a crocodile began to smooth until it was human-like.

Seth gulped down, not because of the transformation and the fact he could hear the heartbeat of the creature but because as the creature became more human, he gained another ability, Human Transformation. What was worse was that the power of the creature increased.

"Do not attack me. I'm not going to do anything but just explore myself and have a conversation with you. Please!" Serodo said.

Seth frowned, he might be bound but he had one thing he could do which sadly, Serodo's intuition locked into.

"Let me move then!" Seth said. Serodo looked at him suspiciously but then he nodded. Seth felt his bones relax and he could move.

The two stared at each other before serodo walked outside and looked at the trees. "Living Roots right?"

"Yes!"

"A lot of Green. Damn! I can't see a thing with Aura Sight!" Serodo commented.

Seth felt anger because someone had his aura sight ability.

"Don't be angry. I didn't ask to be born!"

"Give me my staff!" Seth said.

"I have intelligence in my ability, so I'm born smart and can understand things fast." He said that to make Seth know he couldn't trust him with the staff at his hand.

"I don't trust you either. That mist above your head, you save it for dragon blood!" Seth said.

"Nah! I'm trying to come up with what I can make with it!" Saying that the creature touched the mist and it dissolved into silver liquid and formed a silver hand glove.

By doing so, seth staff on his other hand burned him and he threw it away. Seth ran and grabbed it and ready it against the creature but he found his hand facing elsewhere. He was under control again.

"I'm stronger than you. I have 16 abilities. You don't stand a chance." Serodo warned

"You too!"

"Hmm. My intuition told me you have something that can harm me and I should avoid it at all costs but I can't seem to predict what it was. Let me make it clear, I do not want the dragon blood anymore!" Serodo clarified.

Seth still wasn't convinced but he felt the clone wasn't lying. Seth was about to say he would not attack him but then he held himself and calculated the distance between him and the creature, it was 12 meters.

And that was how far the creature could have to control him. Seth took a deep breath and made up his mind not to use Mantle Of Slavery because that was what the creature was afraid of without knowing.

"Wait. What happened?" Serodo no longer felt any threat from Seth. And as he started at seth, he saw helplessness. "You can make people afraid or was it me that was having improvement!"

"Wait. You are improving?" Seth screeched.

"Yes. I'm developing, it will take about a day to fully be myself!"

Aura Sight

Seth's heart skips a beat. The creature before him had no aura on his body but deep inside his head was a dot that was so deep with silver but also like a black hole that spits out energy.

"You are silver water?" Seth asked.

"Nah, I'm different. The silver liquid is sent against those higher dragons and battle Beast. I'm sent for the smaller dragons, like hatchlings, babies, younglings and alike. I'm Silver Mist. If you must know. However, when we develop consciousness, we become new beings"

Seth stared at the clone absorbing what he heard to wrap his head around what they were.

Serodo came and stood before Seth, he made Seth stand well and they walked to the couch and sat down.

"Whenever we fused with something, we became new to us. But what was required of us was there and we became compelled to do it. Just like now, I want the blood, even though it's useless to me!" Then he smiled and said, "However, I want to be you, that is my new desire. Though, the idea of me being you was impossible. My head will explode because I can't take 1% of your metal force.

So, I will take the blood. Just touching it will do and I will erase the other desire!"

"You talk a lot. You smile like a smart ass. Tell me about the invasions. Why do you come to Amma?"

"Hmm. I'm smart, smarter than you, as you can't use your brain to its full capacity due to your body being too weak to support it. While I have a strong body, not as strong as the others but better than yours. And… who said we are coming from outside of Amma. "

"So!".

"Ahh!" Serodo screamed, his body almost exploded but then he calmed down. He looked at Seth, "I can't speak more than that!"

Seth glanced at the quest and understood that Serodo might be his individual but the main source of them can command him.

"You know. You are a far better price than the dragon blood you desperately protected. And they agree!"

Seth felt his neck and head twisting….

"Mantle!"

Right before Seth's neck twisted to another side, as commanded by Serodo, Seth found himself freed. Serodo, on the other hand, has a chain that turned into a metallic collar on his neck and pulled him down.

The connection Serodo was having with Them was cancelled. His individuality took over and also, and he felt servitude toward his original, seth.

But Serodo has two things that most creatures don't have, Stone Will and Intelligence.

"So, this is what I was afraid of. It forces me to the ground and makes me view you as someone to respect and obey."

The chains broke as the 5 seconds ended. Serodo remained kneeling as he evaluated himself.

When the chain was on, Seth gave two orders, never harm me, never manipulate me.

"Your orders still lingered in my head and they form a cacophony if I wish to go against them, not that I can't. " he looked up and found Seth barely standing as The silver metal wrapped around him forcing him not to kill serodo.

"That is equivalent to your weapon. I'm special, they value me and thus gave me that as my personal arm. Even I can't even order it to kill me, and it will protect me at all costs!" Serodo explained.

"I shall kill you!" Serodo said, "but I felt fear. "

He stood and then walked out of the mansion, when he was far, the silver metal left Seth and followed it.

Seth can feel Serodo, he can feel his emotions. The clone was confused about everything, he was angry about being just a clone, and he was upset his original wanted nothing but to kill him.

Serodo just wanted to find his place in this new world. He was like a newborn intelligence child that was lost.

Seth's mind raced, "Fuck. Double mistake!" He sprang up and ran toward serodo. But he left his staff.

"Wait. Hey, you stupid clone, stop!" Seth pant. Serodo looked at how Seth was exhausted with disdain, he knew exactly how pathetic and weak his original was.

"You feel disdain for me. You fucker. You have no idea how the fucking world work, do you?" Seth said as he breathed on the ground.

"Enlightened me!" Serodo said with a sneer.

"I fucking kill silver water with ease. I survived Roana Prada, I clashed with Red Ancient. I revive the Amma tree, I resist and tame Living Roots, I… glared at the moon and it glared back. I was praised and forced by Amma to take her Class, just to keep me in check." Seth said and he stood before his clone.

"The world is intimidated by my existence and that is why it finds a way to balance me. Imagine if I have a strong body and can support my mind… the fucking reality will be my slave. So, don't look fucking down on me. Clone!"
