Chapter 27: Beast affinity
Mictlantecuhtli (Percival's familiar)
Mana cores:
- [Mana core 1 – Red – Beast]
- [Mana core 2 – Seed – ???]
- [??? (Fractured)] – Grants the seed of a second mana core. Requires potent life and mind mana to germinate.
Seeing the familiar had inherited his friend’s name gave him some relief. With any luck, it meant Micky was indeed buried somewhere inside the bird. Well, it was also possible it meant nothing. Perhaps the Status had simply picked that name out of convenience, as that was how Percy thought of the creature.
‘Hopefully it’s the former.’
Another thing that caught his eye was how his prolific second core had spread out once more. Though it was back to Fractured again – for some reason. By now, he was pretty sure this thing was glued to his soul. After all, his soul was the only thing he’d brought back from the Moirai.
However, it seemed to have more components to it as well. Perhaps one rooted in his body and one in his mind, explaining the two other types of mana needed to repair it. Once he had, his mind followed his soul to Huehue, which was why his clone had only lacked the life part. But now, his mind didn’t seem to be present in the familiar, downgrading it by another step.
‘In any case, this is a project for the future.’
