The bonfire burned with crackles every now and then. It illuminated the surroundings with ample light and heated those sitting around it. A cricket cried from a distance. The doughnut moon was partially visible due to the clouds.

Lee, An, Ruella and Mia sat around the fire. The ladies showed signs of intellectual indigestion. Lee rubbed his forehead as he sat cross-legged on the ground.

"In a nutshell, Tubians are sentient beings formed from the pure fragments of Amortal. They can control their powers very efficiently. But most of them are parasitic in nature."

D spoke inside Lee and Lee selectively transmitted the information to the ladies.

"Tubians are descendants of Amortals, but they have different viewpoints. While Amortals want to achieve Godhood, Tubians want to live like they always did, for millennia.

A few Tubians have sacrificed themselves to be the part of the higher power, but their wishes were fleeting clouds. The Tubians have recently realised the sinister plans of Amortals. The one we caught possessing the troll was a reckless, stupid and relatively younger one. I will need a lot of time to extract all the information it has."

Lee gave a nod and spilled a few basic information regarding Tubians. Ruella and Mia were wonderstruck with what they heard.

"Now you both know our journey's purpose. I will not stop you if you deem the quest dangerous and back off. But-"

Lee wanted to speak more, but Mia raised her hand and gestured to stop. He paused his words and peered at her.

"I have joined in your quest the moment you saved me. From the age, you are as old as my elder brother. Thus, I hope to stay with my brother on his journey!"

Mia sounded honest and brave. Her words resounded in air and Ruella also repeated the same words.

"You are both welcome. But your current level is nowhere near to defeating a giant Ground Troll alone. I have an idea. But let's take rest now."

Saying this, 4 futons fell on the grassy patch near to them. Lee retracted his hand as they fell on the ground. A medium size tent also came out with them.

'D, where are these from?'

[I have a lot to tell. But sleep for now. Setup the tent.]

Lee stood up and raised the tent. He dragged the 4 futons inside and placed it appropriately.

Ruella and Mia yawned in unison, and stared at each other. They chuckled and entered inside the tent and fell asleep in a few minutes. An glanced at Lee, who smiled and conveyed her to take rest. She nodded and went to her futon and fell asleep within minutes.

Sensing their breathing, Lee deduced that the ladies have slept. He turned to D.

'D..what happened till now? Brief me!'

[Put out the fire and sleep. I'll communicate with you in your conscious space.]

Lee promptly put out the flame. His arms threw the sticks scatteredly, into a distance after making sure that they won't start a fire. Then he climbed into his futon, after closing the tent entrance.

[You don't need to do that. I can protect you all when you sleep.]

Lee didn't say anything in response, and crept inside his futon. The fatigue took over and Lee lost his control over his body as he fell into deep slumber.

---------------------------

Consciousness chamber of Lee.

D, in his old man form, was walking to and fro, waiting for Lee to appear. He did not pull Lee into his consciousness plane, like before, but waited for him to voluntarily enter it. After a few minutes, Lee began to materialise from thin air.

"Welcome."

It was awkward for Lee to be welcomed inside his own consciousness chamber, but he didn't mind it. The surroundings changed to a savannah in a sunset. A few wool tuskers ran in a distance while D and Lee sat on the grassy patch of land.

"What exactly happened to you?"

Lee raised his question a second before D opened his mouth to talk. D remembered that he needs to give a brief description of what happened.

"Let me start from the beginning.

The Tubian we met had a soul weakening skill, which trapped mine, instead of you. But I do not know how that affected the system interface. Now it is all back to normal."

D waved his hand and the complete interface came appearing. Lee looked at the display in front of him and scrolled up and down, confirming D's claim.

"I analysed the Tubian in the EsGen storage. I have extracted some information from it, which is exclusive to Tubian.

The Law fragments in this dimension are scattered into many places, especially ocean. The Tubians are unable to absorb a law fragment, as they will melt and merge with the law fragment, losing its identity. Their innate law is all they have.

Due to their incompatible view with Amortals, Tubians are in turn trying to protect it from other beings. It will be an advantage if we can get in touch with a few Tubians.

Other information extracted is sent directly to your brain. You can access it like a memory."

Saying this, D waved his hand. A humanoid squid appeared in front of them. Lee stood up and observed its characteristics.

"This is that parasitic Tubian. Most Tubians are parasitic in nature. Only a minority have the ability to evidently shapeshift and walk among us.

This Tubian is at the verge of dying. The suspended state jumbled it's internal functions. So before it dies, I am going to assimilate it with my soul. It will act as a great benefit for us."

Before Lee could make out a conclusion, D moved towards the suspended being and lightly tapped on its form. The powerful being squirmed and tried to break out of the consciousness chamber, but ended up in vain.

*poof*

The being instantly turned to smoke and disappeared. D stood there for a second and walked back to Lee.

"My soul was partially damaged when you rescued me from the Origin dimension. But now that I have assimilated with this little brat, my powers are back to peak. I'm still a soul, though. With some new found insights, I will be expanding the system features. Before that, do you wish for any features that you would like to have in the new 'update'?"

Lee frowned as he leaned on his arms, which were anchored behind him. Lee glanced up and down in thought, but couldn't find any. D could hear his thoughts like a megaphone, so he retracted his question.

"It's okay if you don't remember. I will make sure that the insights help you."

D waved his hand and Lee was pushed out of his consciousness chamber and into slumber.
