Jake: “It’s great to have a friend to fight with.” Jackson: “Same here.” The lady started crying as she found it touching. Jake and Jackson both looked at her in confusion. Jake: “Are you crying, Miss?” The lady: “No…..My eyes are just sweating.” She wiped off the tears that held a deeper meaning to them. The lady: “Ahh, I didn’t introduce myself to you kids. I’m Silvia, The Shaman. And I’ve been living in this world for a long time.” Jake: “So you’re ancient?” Jackson smacks Jake on the head hard for being rude. Jake: “I would like to apologise for my rude behaviour.” They all laughed before returning to what they came there for. Jake: “I have a few questions I want to ask.” Silvia: “Go on.” Jake: “Why is The Boogeyman after me now? Plus, didn’t I already kill them…or it?” Silvia: “I do not know his motives as to why he’s after you. I can only assume he is after the chaotic energy trapped within your body. And as for your second question, he cannot be killed; he can only be contained.” Jake: “Why is that?” Silvia: “It’s a long story. At the beginning of this universe, two sides were created. Chaos and Order. They were created to keep it in balance. I am Order, whilst Devorator Animarum is an incarnation of Chaos. We three are immortal beings. Chaos can linger into anything that contains potential and turns them into sentient beings, making them loyal servants to chaos, and Devorator Animarum is his successor to chaos. Jake: “I see.” Jake: “What about you, Ms. Silvia?” Silvia: “I am very different from Chaos. Chaos can steal almost anything and imbue it with chaos. I cannot take a form if I wanted to; I can only control human bodies.” Jake: “Like..?” Silvia: “The soul must willingly give their body to me; I cannot possess an individual without permission unless I have to. Once they first let me take control, the body would stop ageing, any inflicted wounds from before would heal, and my age would remain the same since the day the transfer was done. The soul still exists within the body, and no harm is done. They could switch back with me whenever they want to.” Jake: “Why are you revealing this to us so casually?” Silvia: “I can see the purity of your soul, my child. I can also see both the past and future of the two of you.” Jake awkwardly laughs while rubbing his head. Jackson smiles a bit, remembering the same sentence Asuka had told him. Jackson: “Ms. Silvia. Before we go, I would like to ask if you know the whereabouts of Dr. Zeron?” Silvia: “I do not know where Dr. Zeron is. I’ve heard some children's souls talk about his torture to them. I will tell you once I find more information about him.” Jackson: “Thank you…Also, this is very important. Will I succeed in taking revenge?” Silvia: “You will, my child. But the path after it is something you do not want to go down.” Jackson: “Ok…Thank you, Ms. Silvia.” Jake: “About The Boogeyman. How is he creating chaos? And why does he need souls?” Silvia: “Devorator Animarum consumes souls to gain more power. The souls would first be trapped within The Boogeyman. Once he reaches a certain point, he can release that chaotic energy into the world. It can be calamities or changing human thoughts into causing havoc. When the trapped souls are consumed, they vanish for good. You can never bring them back.” Jake, feeling worried, was cheered up by Jackson with a light hit to the shoulder. Jackson: “Stop worrying too much. Just don’t die. That simple.” Silvia: “Is there anything you guys would like to ask?” Jake: “Uh…..Ah. What about the two paths before coming here?” Silvia: “There weren’t supposed to be two paths. Devorator Animarum knew where you were going and interfered with it. He created a path to try and lure you in, hoping to harvest your soul.” Jake: “Why didn’t he just do it himself.” Silvia: “The hut you are currently in is the centre of a barrier that keeps chaos away. But further away from the centre makes it weaker but still enough to keep Devorator Animarum from entering. However, although Devorator Animarum could not enter, he can still create disturbances within. I knew he would do anything to try and get to you, so I had to think fast. So, I managed to get your friend Jackson to come and help.” Jackson: “I hope that never happens again. Because that chat was a huge headache. Literally.” Jake: “I think that’s all now.” Silvia: “Good. Now, return to the place you once fought, Devorator Animarum. And use this, a magic-infused crystal ball. It should be strong enough to contain him for good.” Jake takes the ball from Ms. Silvia’s hand and stores it within Jarvis’s storage system. The two of them stood up and prepared themselves mentally. They waved goodbye to Ms. Silvia and left the hut. After the two had left the area. Ms. Silvia went into a deep sleep. Her consciousness was then to a white area within the mind. ???: “He’s all grown up now….” Silvia stood up, looking at the figure with a face full of regrets. Then, another voice came from the other side of the area. The spot where the voice came from was covered in a cloud of black smoke. Chaos: “You have done well.” Silvia: “I’ve kept my end of the bargain, So you’ll keep yours.” Chaos: “Do not fret. The vow has already been made.” ???: “You…..” Order: “It had to be done. Forgive me.” The figure remained silent.
