As a Ghost, I have the ability to see through spiritual entities and I am capable of seeing other ghosts like that people normally cannot see, or dead spirits of people, which are like their bare souls that have yet to turn into any sort of Undead yet. And I cannot properly sleep either, I can rest my mind and turn it off, but there’s always a part of it that remains awake, kind of like dolphins. Due to this, I sotis see stuff that others don’t see. Partner and Lucifer are kind of able to see spirits too, but only if they are willing, it is not like a passive effect that I got where I can always see them, which I believe cos from having Death Magic.
Nonetheless, the issue here is that while I try to sleep, many dead spirits go around the entire place. I have been mostly ignoring them, I find them all around the city, people that died out of natural causes, people that were killed several years ago, and people that just died out of starvation, or more. There are many of them, and they all follow around the mont they see thanks to my Titles such as Undead Queen and so on, which makes them all want to please and serve , it is a bit like a brainwashing, maybe, but I’ve told them to scram off while I sleep.
However, while I slept, I still found one dead spirit that was very peculiar compared to the other guys, it wasn’t soone that died out of normal circumstances, it was a young man on his twenties, perhaps, that seed to have co out of a freezer, because his entire appearance as a dead spirit looked like his body was frozen. Indeed, he was literally frozen, he probably died while being frozen in the wilderness or sothing, he seed to be like a floating statue.
Your soul often takes the shape of the traumatizing death you have, if you die while getting stabbed, you’ll show the stab wound in your dead spirit phantasmal body, if you died burned, there is a chance you’ll beco red and look like you’re always being burned alive, sotis these people that is so traumatized by their way of dying beco ghosts, and are filled with resentnt against those that did injustices to them and sotis they try to avenge themselves from their perpetrators, but this doesn’t happen all the ti, or we would already have several cases of ghosts coming to kill people all the ti, right? Not all people that is killed manage to beco a ghost out of resentnt, and sotis they take years to beco one, like I did. And even if they beco a ghost, there is no guarantee that they’ll not end up facing so challenges before they can even find their perpetrator, which they won’t have any knowledge of where they might be after so long, such as facing natural ghost and soul predators such as Will-o-Wisp, other ghosts, undead, and more that feed on… well, other undead below the food chain.
But this was why it was interesting; this person had such a traumatic death that he ended becoming a literal ice statue even on his dead spirit/soul form… It was quite hard to believe that dying from coldness could shape you that way, most people would just die, perhaps with many regrets, but to the point that they look like the frozen body they left behind in their soul forms? That’s very weird, and it ended picking my interest because I was honestly quite bored.
So I made him approach him to ask him so questions, but he couldn’t talk, his face was covered in ice and the only thing he could do was make so weird sounds that were like the sounds a person makes when they’re asphyxiating.
“Mmmffff… Mmfffff…”
“Yeah… I don’t understand you at all…”
I decided to see what could happen if I touched him with my hand and gave him so mana to “heal” him, sotis it works when souls are too broken or traumatized their minds are rearranged and they can speak and beco more eloquent even.
So I infused so mana into him, and the ice slowly began to shatter into pieces, although his entire body still emanated a strong ice cold aura that made my figurative bones tremble, he was now capable of moving better and perhaps even speak.
“So tell your story, how did you ended like that?”
“The Ice…”
“Ice?”
The man began to look at with his red eyes, he had short white hair, and seed completely pale… Wait this guy looks like a Vampire! Doesn’t he? He got pointy ears too and those red eyes are very suspicious. I looked at him for a bit.
“The Ice that froze … It frozen whole, I died… I died frozen! By that… That thing…” He muttered. “T-The thing!”
“What thing? Relax for a bit and tell …” I sighed. “Also, aren’t you a Vampire? Are Vampires this far? What are you guys planning?”
“V-Vampire? Vampire… I was… No… I am not a Vampire, I was a Dhampir.” He said.
“D-Dhampir?”
“My father… Was a Vampire… I never saw him again… I was an outcast… I lived near town…” He said in between stuttering. “I-I… I used to be friends with them, the Ice Giants…” He said.
“Ice Giants? You know them? I would really want to et them, you know?” I wondered. “Did they froze you?”
“Yes… They froze for trespassing their territory…” He cried. “It was very cold… It was… traumatizing… I… It is so cold… Bbbrrr…” The man began to tremble, he was very cold and seed that if I gave him a bit more of Mana, he would turn into a weird ghost.
“So they killed you for getting into their lawn? I heard they’re doing trades with this Kingdom, what’s going on with that? I thought they were good guys trying to live.” I said.
“Not until the Ice Queen Manifested…” He said. “I used to be friends with them… But the Frost Queen… she changed everything…”
