Scarlet was surprised on the inside but she had no plans of portraying this to the soul eater. One that was this was self aware was probably a high level soul eater, one that had been around for a very long time. She had to deal with this one patiently and cunningly.

So, she put a smile on her face as if she was looking at a friend she had not seen in such a long time and said, "I am flattered, if I had known that you were waiting for me, I would not have kept you waiting. I would have come running to hug you much sooner."

"Hi-hi-hi." The soul eater chuckled in a menacing small voice. "You are funny."

"What can I say, we grim reapers have a good sense of humor. Can I ask what happened to the original owner of the body you are inhabiting?"

"Ah, that wench is completely gone, I ate her soul up clean and only left enough to keep the body stable. But, you should not worry about her, she killed her entire family because of greed. You should worry more about yourself, after all you are the reason we stopped by on this ugly planet."

She raised her eyebrows and looked on curiously. "Me!!, wow, you came all the way from Xeno for me? Has my reputation spread that far already? It can't be." She answered.

Then, she laughed playfully and brushed her hand against the air, "No way, I am just level three reaper who happens to be pitifully weak." She said. In the back of her mind, she thought, 'Come into my web, the spider said to the fly.' She was the spider and the soul eater the fly. The weaker she assumed pretended to be, the greedily the soul eater, after all, who was more powerful to them than a grim reaper?You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Too bad for you then, I am a level seven, in this fight, you are going to be devoured by me." the soul eater declared arrogantly. "And, I am going to enjoy every second of it."

Scarlet wanted to extract some more information out of the soul eater before the short battle would begin. "How old are you?" she asked it.

"I don't know, does it matter,? You seem to be caught up in all the wrong things? Do I not frighten you reaper?" It paid no attention to Severus who had changed his appearance at the last second before entering the room. He looked no different from a little puppy now, all traces of a hell hound were gone.

"I would not be a grim reaper if I scared easily, you could be level ten and I would still face you head on with everything in me." she answered confidently. "Why were you sucking energy from the general?"

She wanted spiritual herbs, rejuvenation water, water from the spring of any deity and whatever Severus had given to Esong. Simply refining it for energy was not what she intended.

"I am going to have to cleanse this place again." she said.

She cleansed it and they blinked, returning to the spaceship because she needed to make sure that Esong had woken up from whatever daze he was under. She also wanted to see the princess who wanted to make her husband one of her concubines.

What kind of woman had six husbands? How did that even work? It was simply greed and depravity.

Indeed, the princess and her guards were frantically looking around the room, searching for the missing maid.

Behind them, was a bored looking Ian who said, "There is a broken window, and it was broken from the inside. The cameras outside show no one entering the room besides the maid. It's plain to see that she took her own life by jumping out when we were under attack because she wanted to save herself."

"We must find the body, she could be alive_" the princess said.

"I refuse, we have no time for that." he stormed off.

The princess scratched her face, but she paid no attention to it, going after Ian and screaming at him to turn around.

Scarlet smirked and went to Esong's private quarters, he was awake, drinking some water and looking at his terminal with hints of confusion in his eyes.

She squatted down and touched his face, "he looks better now." she said. The color was returning to his face which was a good sign.

Esong suddenly moved his face forward while she was observing him and smelled the air before saying, "Scarlet?"
