Seal of Light - Enlightened novel Chapter 16

Mat's POV

Am I dead?

So I was left helplessly alone in the middle of nowhere. Last thing I remembered, I was in a middle of a battlefield, caught in a death match, roughly fighting against a Demon lord named Casus’Lucem.

But now, I appear fresh and lively, there was no evidence of bruises or wounds on my body.

But where am I? What is this place?

This place looks like an endless void. Massive fog lies low on the floor. The only light I see is the one that is coming from this broken silver cord that was attached to my body. I started running again, from a direction I could not tell, I did this just to see if things would change if I do so.

But nothing changes.  It’s just the same blank space I have been running since I got here awhile ago.

Suddenly, a stream of living energy enveloped me. It was made of pure light. It flowed like water, but I can breathe into it. It was magical. It was fantastic. I felt so much peace as the energy ran circle through my skin.

It was a feeling I never wanted to leave, for it gave me serenity, a feel of enlightenment. It wrapped around me and supported my body’s weight.

I wanted to stay like this, connected to the light, forever.

The energy started to disentangle slowly from me, returning my weight back to my feet.

Then, a very striking light appeared in front of me. I could not see it directly. I was covering my face from the excessive light with my hands.

Then it spoke.

“Hello my faithful carrier.”

The voice sounded so majestic, but each word he said came out like an authority. Like it would never be broken by anyone.

“W-who are you?”
