Origin Of Evil 29 Mind Palace

One of the Sadunites said "Good, what is it?" Dorian replied "A white flame. Any importance?" The Sadunite replied "It is very important. It is good your is a flame, the way you will approach Mind Magic will be similar to ours."

Dorian frowned and asked "What do you mean?"

The Sadunite replied "There are several paths to Mind Magic. Some practice telekinesis, telepathy, mind attacks… You must pick a path that is suitable for you, and to know the right path you mainly deduce it from your mind's shape."

The other Sadunite intervened "Now, we will teach you a spell that will allow you to project your mind's flame into our own minds. This is the most basic form of attack, and will allow us to understand more about your shape."

Dorian nodded and looked at the two patiently. The Sadunite who just talked said "Now what you need to do is visualize your flame. Try to make it as realistic as possible."

Dorian closed his eyes and tried to recall what the flame looked like. He then heard "When you are done, open your eyes and imagine that flame leaving your mind and throwing itself at our eyes."

Dorian continued visualizing his flame until he found it detailed enough, and opened his eyes. He looked into one of the Sadunite's eyes and projected his flame into it.

He felt his mind leave his body and enter the Sadunite's. He entered that familiar s.p.a.ce, but instead of the dark void, everything was red.

Moreover, he saw an orange fire, next to a shabby looking house.

He heard the Sadunite say "Impressive, your flame is even bigger than mine, you have a lot of potential for a human. Now, try to destroy the house."

Dorian looked at himself and realized that he had come here not in his human form, but as the white flame. So to destroy that house, he simply rushed at it, and tried to burn it.

But he strangely pa.s.sed through it without doing any damage. Dorian frowned and tried something else, he detached a part of his flame and controlled it to become a long blade, which he threw at the house.

This time, the fire didn't go through, but hit the house. It made a little tear on the wall it hit, not enough to go through it but still made a tear.

But what was interesting was that after the initial impact, the area around the tear began burning under the white flame, which grew bigger and bigger.

Dorian didn't doubt that if left alone, it would burn the whole house. But as it was burning, the red flame pa.s.sed by, and extinguished the white fire.

With a weaker voice than usual, the Sadunite said "Your mind shape is special… The main flames seems to be nonexistent, whereas your attacks destroy. If I had to take a guess, I would say that your body has a great affinity for the s.p.a.ce element, as well as for the Fire element."

Dorian retreated back in the sky and the Sadunite said "It seems we were wrong, your path isn't the same as ours at all. What we do is mainly mind attacks, such as what we did to you earlier. But it looked like yours is telekinesis, or anything that meddles with the material world."

Dorian asked "Can you teach me?"

The Sadunite replied "I can't, but Jok'ii can." Dorian asked "You have been helping me a lot, may I know what's your name?"

The Sadunite replied "I am Jun of the Tenth Tribe. You?" Dorian replied "Dorian Hunt, from the Earth Kingdom. You don't have a surname?"

Jun replied "We Sadunites only have a first name followed by our tribe." Dorian asked "Is the Tenth Tribe powerful?"

Jun shrugged and said "Depends on what you mean by powerful. Out of the 26 tribes, we are ranked 19th in term of influence."

Dorian nodded, and asked "Why are you helping me? I want a real answer, because no ones gives this much help without a purpose, whatever their race is."

Jun smiled, although Dorian couldn't see it, and said "I do indeed have a reason. The two you killed, they were part of the 7th Tribe. Although we aren't enemies, we don't really have a friendly relations.h.i.+p either, the only reason we stayed together was that we are trapped here."

Jun continued with a somber tone "I helped you because I think you could help us…"

Dorian interrupted him "Do I really look like this kind of person? I just killed two people of your race without asking any question. I did worse things up in the city."

Jun replied cheekily "Exactly. I don't need a fragile sissy who wants to save the world and promote world peace, I need someone who stops at nothing to get the job done."

Dorian shook his head and replied "Unfortunately for you, I am changing my ways."

Jun said "What I am asking you first is to help me escape this mountain."

Dorian heard the notification of a new side mission appearing, which was to save the two Sadunites. He accepted it and said "It shouldn't be too difficult. All I have to do is getting you out of the city and you can walk down the mountain."

Jun shook his head and said "We could have done that on our own. But it isn't that simple, because we have been bound to this mountain by a powerful spell."

Dorian asked "How am I supposed to help you?" Jun shrugged and replied "It has something to do with the Heart of the Mountain. We don't really know what we should do so we keep feeding it. Your human friends were supposed to be the sacrifice, but now the two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the 7th Tribe are the sacrifices."

Dorian nodded and said "I will see what I can do. Now, let me out, after I learn Mind Magic I want to see how you deal with the sacrifice, and I will return to the city. I will later return here to help you."

Jun said "It's not like we really have a choice… If you want to leave this s.p.a.ce, all you have to do is to will it."

Dorian did as he was told, and he indeed returned to his body. He looked at the other Sadunite, whom he learned was called Jok'ii, and said "I wish to learn telekinesis. Can you help me?"

Jok'ii nodded and replied "When you were in Jun's head, you must have seen the house he had. This was a mental construct. What you will try to do is to use your flame to gather Mind energy and transform it into a basic construct. The better your construct, the stronger your mind power will be."

Dorian frowned and asked "What does the flame's size have to do with Mind Magic?" Jok'ii replied "The bigger your Mind Shape is, the faster you will be able to gather Mind energy."

Dorian nodded and asked "How do I enter my mind?" Jok'ii then taught him quickly how to do it, and Dorian started constructing his own house. But it was taking too long, he felt like he would only get the foundations in several hours, so he tried to think how to accelerate the process.

Then it came to him. Meditation.

He exited his Mind and this time tried to enter his Mind while meditating, and started constructing his own Mind Palace as they called it, even though it more looked like a ruined beggar's house than anything else…

Dorian was overjoyed to see that the speed at which he gathered Mind energy multiplied by manifold and he began constructing his house.

He did not know how much time went by when he finally finished the foundations. He opened his eyes and saw that the two Sadunites were sleeping.

Dorian wanted to wake them up at first, but considering how kind they had been to him he decided to let them sleep. So, he opened his status.
