All the enemies that charged towards Yuko's house were now frozen in ti which made even the guards that were fighting incredibly shocked. Their shock did not last long because a voice suddenly echoed in their heads. They were told to imdiately kill all of those that have attacked them while they cannot move.
All the rebels that ransacked the place looked in fear as they were helplessly slaughtered without a fight. The fear of dying was etched into their very core as they could see that their bodies would only start to move once they fall down from getting killed. The scene was incredibly shocking as even blood will not flow out upon getting killed while frozen in ti.
The scene of a rebel getting his head cut off and then only getting separated with the head still floating haunted them. It was such a surreal experience that the guards stood there in shock when they won the battle. A large shadow could be seen sweeping the house once all the rebels were killed.
This large shadow was a huge white serpent that was the house god that guarded Yuko's family. The large white serpent saw Yuko's form and worried as the child might have been possessed. The large white serpent would have fought the entity possessing Yuko but the latter returned back to normal after.
The demon mask that was on Yuko's face vanished and the bluish-purple fla returned to the shrine. Yuko fell down on the ground sheer exhaustion while all her attendants finally woke up. The attendants were incredibly shocked to see that they were still alive and that all their wounds vanished as if they have never been inflicted in the first place.
"Young lady!" The attendants scrambled as they saw Yuko fainted on the floor.
The large white serpent then looked at the shrine where the bluish-purple fla is and bowed to it. The large white serpent knew that it was this mystical fla that saved Yuko from getting killed. It was also the existence that helped all the people in the family from getting killed.
When ti was stopped, it also affected the guards that almost lost their lives. Although their wounds did not return back to when they were not afflicted by it, the guards had so of the ti reversed to minimize the damage that they got. This was done by the thing that possessed Yuko since it could not reverse everything back like it did with the attendants.
The news of the rebels attacking the house made Yuko's father imdiately return but the fight was already over. The bodies of all the rebels were hanged to instill fear on the enemies. It was also a fad night that created stories of legends due to no one in the house dying from the attack.
There might be no one that died but there was soone that paid the price. Yuko's body was no longer the sa when she woke up as she beca weak. It was to the point that she could barely stand because the fla was drawing in her life in order to sustain itself.
The large white serpent, who is the house god, saw that Yuko paid a price for helping all of them which is why it also sacrificed a part of its strength to the young lady. Yuko beca able to walk on her own, but she was still weak. Still, her state beca much better than before when all she could do was lie down on the bed.
"That is all of the mory." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated.
"That fla!" Adrian stated as he recognized it.
"Yes. You are correct in assuming that. That fla is the sa soul fragnt that you are looking for. That is the soul of an Asmodian with the demon lineage." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated as he pointed at the small wisp that is following Adrian.
"Does that an that she was not going to Limbo on accident, but it was on purpose?" Adrian questioned as he looked at Yuko.
"That is actually quite a good observation since the soul fragnts are connected. It might be the soul fragnt calling out to you as it knows that the child will not live long if it is not found imdiately. The child might have paid the price too much that her body is already straining herself." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated.
"I see. Thank you for showing the mory. Also, Yuko is very brave to do such a selfless thing for her family. You are definitely a strong and reliable warrior in your own right." Adrian stated as he patted Yuko's head as a way to comfort the child.
"Yuko is brave! But I would rather be able to be normal than to be brave." Yuko muttered the last sentence as she only wanted a happy and ordinary life.
"Yes. Yuko is very brave, and that bravery should be rewarded. Can you tell where Yuko's house is in the eastern continent? Which of the Four Cardinal Beasts do your family serve?" Adrian asked as this was easier to ask than a child for directions.
"Yuko's house is under the Azure Dragon since Shirohe is our house god." Yuko replied.
"That is good. I will find Yuko once I return back to the mortal realm. Can you tell your parents that I am coming?" Adrian stated with a smile.
"Wow! Nether will visit Yuko! Does that an you will bring to places in the real world?" Yuko asked.
"Sure! I shall bring you to all the places that we visited when you were dream walking." Adrian stated.
"I shall bless the child so that she will not wander about in the afterlife while you are absent. I can mostly stop her from returning to Limbo for about a week. Make sure that you find her in a week." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated as he sprinkled so dust on Yuko.
"Yuko is fading!" Yuko stated as she started to return back to her body.
"See you!" Adrian stated.
"Bye bye! I will wait!" Yuko stated as her soul finally returned to her body.
"The solution for keeping her out of the afterlife is not permanent. Sprinkle another bag on dust on her once you reach the mortal realm to find her. This would ensure that she will never wander off in the afterlife again even if she loses her connection with the soul fragnt." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated as he handed a small bag of dust to Adrian.
"Thank you very much but can I get so extra? I need it to view the mories of the other soul fragnts." Adrian stated.
"Co to when you get the other fragnts. I would also like to view the mories with you as an Asmodian's mories is always very exciting. Also, the soul fragnts must be strong enough to even endure the process, so you need to bathe them in the energy of the underworld for at least ten days." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated.
"Ten days. I got it. I guess I need to entrust the souls to soone." Adrian stated as he cannot just leave the soul fragnt in Limbo as that place barely has energy from the afterlife.
"Why not give it to my brother? He travels the other death realms and is the best one to entrust a soul to." The God of Dreams Morpheus.
"You an to the Ferryman of the Dead Charon? I guess that makes sense, but I do not want to bother him when he is incredibly busy as is." Adrian stated.
"Nonsense! My brother would love your company. He even started bragging that you nad one of your precious soulbounds with his na. Maybe… use my na for the next ones? Hmmmm… I am giving you lots of freebies after all." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated.
"Maybe if I get a soulbound that has abilities that uses dreams then I will consider it." Adrian stated with his business smile.
"Make sure that you promise that! I will even happily give it my blessing if that happens. Since you are already eting my brother, can you give him these." The God of Dreams Morpheus stated as he gave Adrian a platter of small five-inch pies.
"Sure. Thank you for your generosity once more, God of Dreams Morpheus. I am incredibly indebted to you for helping and even the guards of Limbo." Adrian stated as he bid his farewells to et Charon.

"What are these?" Charon asked as Adrian handed him the basket that the God of Dreams Morpheus gave him.
"They are treats that your brother has asked to deliver. I am incredibly thankful that you have accepted my favor of looking after this soul fragnt." Adrian stated.
"Dream Pies! My favorite. Here have so as well. I am sure that you will like it. Your request is also a small thing for ." Charon stated.
"Wow! These are so good! No wonder you love them." Adrian stated.
"They are made from the most colorful dreams after all." Charon stated which made Adrian almost choke.
