In the icy bed that had replaced the waterless bathtub, Harry and Evis found solace, basking in a moment of profound beauty following their million years of passionate fusion.
Lying in Harry's embrace, Evis expressed, her voice filled with a sense of freedom and relief, "That experience was Soo captivating, extremely soothing, and absolutely divine. I feel as though all the burden upon my shoulders has been lifted."
"Oh, is that so? So what's your opinion about my talent in the art of bedding women, top-notch?"
"I guess, it's not like I have ever been with other men after all, so I can't really tell," Evis blinkingly remarked; hitting right where it should hurt.
Harry cringed before wrily smiling and saying, "You sure know my weaknesses–"
"I'm sleepy Dad, so...sleepy,"
"Hm?"
"so...so...sleepy,"
Said Evis as her eyelids slowly shut, making her fall into a deep slumber as she rested calmly in his embrace, Harry, startled, looked around, and soon, his gaze focused on a particular place and he saw a miniature woman,
And he blinked, Verma's body turned back to its original size, and in a split second,
Verma stood infront of him in all her majesty, her dress made of wood still around her body,
"Why are you here?" Harry asked, his brows raised, he could see she had made Evis fall asleep but for what?
"I didn't plan to come and ruin your moment babe, But you took too much time and there is only an hour or so before the current blasphemous child leaves the lands."
"..." Harry.
"You don't have to understand, for now, just follow me and do as I say."
"Okay," Harry paused, looking at the naked and sleeping evis in his embrace, he suddenly asked, "Why is her ability not disappearing?!"
And both of them froze.
Evis was fast asleep, her breath was calm and she had no reason to act asleep, and she as of now was weak and vulnerable to stage 5 tricks,
So there was no drama here.
Her ability just did not fade away, it was there like any other solid object,
The bathtub was still the icy bed without mistakes!
Stiff, Verma stared at the bed with wide eyes, What was going on?
"Is she one of my true sisters?" She asked, her eyes brightening the second,
Harry blinked, it was a surprise but not too much of a surprise to him, after all, he was still a newbie in the art of gifts, and he wasn't pro enough to see the level of disbelief this should result in.
But he still answered her question: "Yes, she is one of the rare people I care about." One of the family members.
"Oh... that's a pity," Verma muttered and then said, her eyes regaining a peculiar enthusiasm at the thought of what they were about to do: "Anyway, it's time we move, my senses will lose him soon and it is better if we catch him before that."
Harry sighed, a man gets no rest these days,
Well, whatever.
He came out of the bathtub with evis in his embrace when Verma suddenly asked, "Did you get your strength under control?"
Harry smiled and then replied: "That's really an unexpected part. I evolved two of my gifts from pseudo Stage 1 to Stage 1."
"Which one?" Verma questioned, her brows raised in amazement,
Only this man can say often the words, I evolved my ability.
"It was [Enhanced Breath] and [World Of The Mind]."
"How did they even evolve?"
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "[Enhanced Breath] is all about self-control, so it should have evolved due to me controlling myself in the clutches of lust...But I don't know about [World Of Mind] though, what do you think?"
"It is a mind-type ability too, so it should have evolved due to your mental struggles, and it is just Stage 1 after all, so don't bother about it and let's go, what was the use of [Enhanced Breath] by the way?"
"Self-control and Increased stamina; I'm currently using this as one of my active abilities since it was more useful here."
"You use Sight and Hearing gift otherwise right?" she mused.
"Yes," he nodded as he walked.
"But those two abilities are bullshit without training, You need to activate them to get into heightened senses right?"
"At times I get the hang of it and try to turn it on for a long time, but that saps my stamina."
"You need training...but first thing first, is this Breath ability helping you control your strength?"
"It is in some manner, my body still feels too bloated and too out of control but now it at least listens to my commands easier."
"Activate the [World Of Mind] faster then, and change [Enhanced Breath] active ability with [Ice Transformation]."
"We have time?'
"Just enough to do what I said."
Harry nodded, walked out of the bathroom, laid Evis down on the bed, sat on the floor in the lotus position, and as he sat, a white pajama covered his naked body,
"Rainbows Beauty huh?" Verma muttered.
"Before we start, Can I ask you something, Verma?" He asked in a calm tone.
"What?" Asked Verma, a bit peeved, was he mad about something?
"You don't have to make everyone unconscious when you come to me, okay?"
"But I didn't yet know if she was a family or not!"
"That's true, but we probably won't have to act or hide infront of women I fuck, even if they are not one of the people I care about."
"Okay, I will keep that in mind..." Verma said, a bit saddened for some reason.
"And Don't worry Verma," Harry said while closing his eyes, "Even I don't even know why, but you are important to me, truly important."
Her eyelashes fluttered as she blinked, her stomach got overwhelmed with butterflies and her face blushed, she looked down at the ground...
And smiled.
Harry smiled alongside, not even having to see to find a smile that she seldom showed others, and focused on using his Passive ability,
[World Of The Mind] to awaken the Mind-Avatar.
