As soon as she was out of sight, Carolyn said loudly, "I don't buy it, she is up to something."

Adler who was sitting closest to her and carrying Justin in his laps frowned at Carolyn. Then he covered Justin's ears and said, "Can you not say such things in front of Justin. Look at how happy he is right now because his mother is caring for him are you so eager to see him become miserable again?"

Carolyn appeared to be wronged, "Brother, I am looking out for Justin in my own way." She explained. "Scarlet may be all apologies and smiles right now but what about tomorrow? What happens when we wake up and she has suddenly returned to her old ways? It's too soon for us to be jubilating about her miraculous turn around."

Her words were like a wakeup call to all of them who had let down their guard so quickly.

"I trust sister Scarlet." Halley's small voice announced.

"Your sister said that she was sick before and I believe her." Mega told all of her children. "There used to be this rage in her eyes but it's gone. She is calm and her aura is warm. I am ashamed that none of us did a single thing to help her when she was suffering alone. All we did was judge and condemn her for her hateful behavior but we never once stopped to assume that she was sick.

Let's be honest, there are illnesses in the empire which to date the scientists are still struggling to cure to, like the darkness which can be suffered by all those with mental strength. If there is no explanation or cure for the darkness, why is Scarlet's condition any different?"

There was a look of shame on the faces of some of the people around the table. They all had mental strength so they knew about the darkness.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

It was a kind of mental illness that affected one in every one thousand mental strength users. The higher one's mental strength was the more potential to be powerful in their society but it was also the higher the chance of one being affected by the darkness.

The darkness would drive one to the brink of depression and insanity until when they eventually had to be euthanized or commit suicide because of the agony.

"Do you think Scarlet was suffering from the darkness? She was manic and always angry." Elroy asked.

"She has no mental strength; the darkness affects those with mental strength." Carolyn replied.

"Wrong," Adler said, "She said her mental strength existed but her chi points were blocked. The doctor unblocked them and her mental strength is going to return slowly."

"It was the only one I saw." She replied and rubbed one of her hands.

"The more soul power you accumulate, the warmer you will become. They do this to make us work harder and capture more souls. Don't just sit around and wait for souls to come to you, you must go looking for them. Souls like to hang around hospitals, temples, churches, mortuaries, grave yards and prisons. You will find it easier if you pass by such places."

She was happy to receive this advice, "Thank you senior." She said and bowed.

"Follow me and do what I do, the soul registrars don't like being delayed. They also don't like small talk so do not engage then unnecessarily, be brief and precise."

She looked at the soul registrars who were sitting at their posts with books to keep records. They were dressed similarly to reapers but they wore black hats.

She followed the female reaper, observed what she said and did then when it was her turn, she copied it all.

lightsnοvεl Soul registrar: Name?

Her: "Scarlet."

Soul registrar: "Number of souls."

Her:"One" Soul registrar: "Sign here and take two soul crystals."

The procedure was easy and she finished quickly. She found the female reaper waiting for her at the arrival point which also served as the exit point.

"See you around newbie." She said and disappeared.

Scarlet smiled and disappeared.
