Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

* NEFFEX - Sometimes *

***

The group and even Raven herself watched as the silver goo surged out of her hands and started merging together and taking shape.

Not too long after, a thin beautiful silver grey collar was resting in Raven\'s open palm.

[Appraising item.

[Class: Translator Collar

[Rank: B

[Rarity: Rare

[Description: A device that\'s been made using nanotech. It enables the wearer from understanding, speaking and reading the languages stored within.

[Stored Language(s): English.]

\'Oh that\'s cool! How did you make it?\'

Instead of replying, Kayla just pulsed the information into Raven\'s mind. \'Ah... that\'s how.\' she thought as the knowledge behind making the collar was in her grasp.

Surprisingly it wasn\'t that hard, maybe even too easy. It mainly stores a specific language that\'s then turned into mana pulses that would stimulate special areas in the brain.

And by stimulating these areas, it enables the brain from using the device as an extension of itself.

However, it\'s just a temporary effect so the moment the mana pulses stop stimulating the brain, the person would lose the knowledge about that language.

"Just like an old fashioned USB device." Raven muttered to herself. "Here, Axane." she said as she offered her the silver collar.

Wearing the collar, Axane felt the mana that tugged on her brain.

"How do you feel? Does it work?" Raven sked in her own tongue this time.

"Yes," Axane spoke with a language that wasn\'t her own. "I can speak your language!" she sounded as excited and surprised as she appeared to be.

"And understanding," Raven added with a smile. "Well, guys this is Axane, she\'s a Malaian. Axane those two are Joey and Rain."

"Hey!"

"Hello Axane, I love your name!"

Joey and Rainr replied.

"That\'s Camilla behind you,"

"Hi," Camilla said weakly, as she was still feeling guilty and embarrassed about what she\'s done.

"And these two are Maria and Maya, my mum and younger sister."

"Hi everyone!" Axane turned red as everyone stared at her, she wasn\'t used to getting this much attention. "Thank you for saving me, so many time."

After a little break away from the rubble and blood, Raven started making her way back to the destroyed town.

"Where do you think you\'re going, young girl?" Maria said in a sarcastic, yet motherly tone.

"Oh nothing special, before leaving the town I felt the presence of multiple monsters hiding in one area. I\'d like to drop by and say hi." Raven said in a too innocent tone and expression.

Needless to say, Maria was by no means fooled by her poor acting and only face-palmed.

"There\'s no way I\'m sending you alone, Cami- actually, I\'ll come with you."

"No, you can\'t it\'s dangerous!" Raven retorted.

"Don\'t you dare yell at me, young lady!"

"Sorry... mum, I didn\'t mean to," Raven said in defence as she lowering her head defeated.

"Good girl," Maria smirked. "Camilla you stay here and take care of the rest. Joey same goes for you."

""Yes ma\'am!"" they both said in unison. Camilla even saluted.

"Mum," Maya said a low voice, "Can I-"

"No." Maria cut her off.

"Pretty please...?"

*sigh* "Goddamn it don\'t give me those puppy eyes!"

*puppy eyes intensifies*

"Ok ok!" Maria was the defeated this time.

"Hehe!" Maya chuckled as she gave her mom a quick hug before turning to Raven. "Hey don\'t be so gloomy."

"Yea, you\'re the one who wanted us to test our powers, well mine." Maria said as she looked at Maya with a questioning look, "Since when do you get to teleport?"

"Yea, I\'m kinda curious about that too," Raven said with a raised eyebrow.

"Err, I have no idea..." Maya scratched her cheek in embracement. "I just blinked and found myself in from of that skeletal monster."

She didn\'t let it show but she was sad that her hero-image had been shattered. Even though she would have done it I\'d she could, she hadn\'t planned on saving Raven, she just happened to appear there by accident.

"Don\'t be so gloomy," Raven said to Maya, making her feel a sense of Deja vu. "You\'ve actually saved me there since I had to push through my limits to save you, which actually saved both of us." Raven said as she gave Maya a hug.

"Alright, shall we go ladies?" Maria said as the group started to make their way back to the destroyed town.

***

After a few minutes, the group was standing on top of a small house watching a bunch of skeletal monsters guarding a weird looking artifact.

"Got any idea what that is?" Maria asked Raven with a raised eyebrow.

"Not a clue- actually, give me a sec." she replied quietly. \'Kayal?\'

[I don\'t know for sure what that thing is, but it\'s some type of advanced technology that\'s been fused with a foreign anti-magic to bind or lock space.

[The signal it\'s emitting is blocking the Spacial Transfer Bracelet Kayla had made.]

"Oh I see." Raven said as she narrowed her eyes. "That\'s what has been keeping us prisoners here for this long."

"Hm, Maya can\'t use her abilities by well. And I\'m not honestly that confident in my combat abilities... but I\'m pretty sure it\'s not a problem for you, right?" Maria said with a tactical smile.

"Oh no no, there are only six monsters there and I\'m pretty sure it\'s a good chance for you to practice your powers don\'t you think?" Raven had the same sadistic smile Maria has seen so many times, but it always gave her the chills.

**gulp**

\'Oh no...\' Maya and Maria thought together with a gulp.

"Hahaha!" Raven suddenly burst out laughing, alerting the monsters to their presence. "I\'m not that evil, but damnit the look on your faces are so worth it hahahah!"

Four monsters started running at top speed to get the intruders.

Two out of the six monsters were huge skeletal mounts, and on top of them were two ghostly monster knights with huge spears.

Two monster warriors were left guarding the artifact.

"Watch closely," Raven instructed. "They seem intelligent as they kept two guards and didn\'t just attack like mad animals."

"Uhm, they\'re running fast, counter them please." Maya said hurriedly, trying to prevent panick from taking over.

"Are you doubting me, lil sis?" she said with another sadistic chuckle that made the girls think they\'re talking to the devil and not the girl they knew for over two years.
