Chapter 11: Soul Searching
General Summary
Luanshi arrived at the final segment of his treatment, the Soul Synchronization. After a brief explanation of what needed to be done: To ensure the Mind, Body and Soul were all caught up with one another, the attendant subdued Luanshi into a trance unlike any he had before.
His soul, now parting from his body, explored the passage of time in search for answers, eventually reaching the destroyed town to find someone who knew what had occured. He found a Warhawk, a guard of the Owl Spirit of Tori no Machi, and chose to piggy back with the inhabitant soul to search for the truth he seeks.
The Warhawk possessed the knowledge of the Empire's advance towards the town and sought to relay it to the Owl Spirit. The Empire is coming, and they seek to remove Spirits from society. Their earlier attempts have met both resistance and success, with their most recent accomplishment involving the death of one such Spirit, a trophy for their General's career.
The Owl Spirit would speak with the Empire's forces herself, while sending her Warhawks to the south, away from the town.
Caerean's talk with the Emperor clarified some things, the Empire seeks to remove the belief in Spirits from society and their rule over regions. The choice for Spirits is to either cooperate or face the General in combat, which has already led to the demise of one Spirit.
The Owl Spirit decided not to accept the terms and instead used the forbidden art: Fission. While the Emperor was able to escape with the General, few others were so fortunate, obliterated within the span of a second as the nuclear blast went off.
Luanshi woke up to find himself with no recollection of what just happened, knowledge tied to his soul, incompatible with his mind.
