Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 694 - Creating A Bond With The Seelie

The Seelie finished the entire piece of meat while looking at Alice. Although there wasn't any sort of intimacy in its eyes, it didn't seem to feel threatened by her any longer.

Alice was still in the same squatting position, bringing out another piece of meat, she saw a delighted expression on the face of the Seelie which made her smile. She used the fire element to heat up the meal but made sure it was not too hot.

This time, she gave the entire piece to the Seelie before it started eating. It seemed to gain a small amount of trust in her since it let her touch it. But after a while, it retreated.

Alice didn't feel down by this, she knew it wasn't going to happen so easily, but at least this was a start.

'Can I get the treasure now?' Void asked Grey.

'No, only after she's managed to at least become friends with it. If not, it might think she's only trying to deceive it.' Grey shook his head.

With nothing left to do, the group could only sit by the side and watch. It would take a while before Alice would be able to form a relationship with the Seelie, and they weren't really in a hurry.

According to what they know, it would take at least one week before the miasma will cover the parts it has exposed, so they still had some time.

In the blink of an eye, two days went by. During these two days, Alice was constantly with the Seelie, trying to communicate with it. At first, it had difficulties understanding her, but as time went on, it started to show it could understand some of the words she was saying.

"When do you think we'll be able to leave this place?" Klaus asked bored.

"Very soon. I think she's made considerable progress with the Seelie." Reynolds was the one who replied.

"How lucky." Klaus shook his head wryly.

When he brought up the suggestion, he felt he had a chance in creating a relationship with the Seelie, who would've thought that Alice would be the one to benefit from it in the end.

Had he known, he would have said they should fight for it. Thinking about it, he knew that would've been worse since Grey would beat them up.

'It's better if Alice gets it. Grey already has so much, adding this to his power would just be unfair to the world.' Klaus thought while looking at Grey.

Grey noticed his gaze and smiled as if he could hear what he was saying in his head.

Klaus shook his head to dispel those thoughts, before hoping that things would move quicker between Alice and the Seelie.

Luckily for them, Alice told them they could take the treasure later that day.

Void was excited when he heard this and before Alice completed her statement, he had already appeared there.

"Wait! If you take the treasure, a portal will open, transporting us back to the mansion. It will only stay open for five seconds." Alice stopped Void just before he managed to take the treasure.

The others felt a cold chill run down their spines. Without becoming acquainted with the Seelie, they would've been trapped here for who knows how long.

Klaus and Reynolds glared at Void who gave them an embarrassed smile as he returned to his original position.

"You can communicate with it?" Grey pointed at the Seelie.

"Yes, it can transmit its voice to my head. It took a while, but I finally managed to learn how to speak with me." Alice nodded while caressing the head of the Seelie, which laughed in return.

"Since you can, have you asked if it wants to come with you?" Kyle asked curiously.

This was the most vital part. If Alice could create a bond with the Seelie, it would ward off lurking eyes.

It would be impossible for them to keep the Seelie a secret since people would see it. The only way it can hide is if it merges with whoever it forms a bond with. If people see that it's already formed a bond with Alice, they would lose interest in it. But if they noticed it hadn't, they would immediately try to capture it.

"Yes. She agreed to leave with me. I've already told her the dangers and she agreed to form a bond with me." Alice replied with a smile.

"So easily?" Kyle was taken aback.

It usually takes people years before they can make a Seelie trust them, yet, in the space of two days, Alice not only got the Seelie to trust her, but she even convinced it to form a bond with her? It was unbelievable!

If Kyle wasn't present here, he would never have believed something like this.

"Great, now do your thing. I want to leave here as soon as possible." Klaus urged.

Alice laughed before communicating with the Seelie.

A few seconds later, a light thread came out from the head of the Seelie and shot at Alice's forehead. After connecting with her forehead, the thread tightened, before both parties were covered with a bright light.

Alice had two elements, the fire, and lightning element, so she gave off red and silver lights, the Seelie had two elements, ice, and wind, so it gave off light blue and green colors respectively.

The lights increased before becoming a cocoon that covered both Alice and the Seelie.

The group waited for almost ten hours before the cocoon showed signs of breaking.

When it broke, Alice was the only one inside.

Her aura had changed slightly, she broke through to the Fifth stage of the Overlord Plane after forming a bond with the Seelie. She was already very close to the Fifth stage, so after getting the essence of the Seelie, she advanced to the Fifth stage. This was just the beginning, with the aid of the Seelie's essence, she would advance quicker until she catches up with it.

The group congratulated her when she came out.

"It's time to head out." Void rushed towards the treasure once again.
