"Sure, sure, as you say, Vaelith," I said with a hint of sarcasm, listening to his suggestion. "I once sought the power that you speak of at a time when I was desperate, when I was helpless, I was at the verge of death, but it was very late. I got everything taken away from me. It has left a strong impact on me, so much that I still am not able to recall the whole incident. I am now happy with how I am living and existing, and I don't have any regrets, I just want to continue this life.", listening to me Vaelith replied with a interesting look "Strong words coming from a 14 year old boy, aren't you a bit too matured and composed for your age?". "The environment and situations have shaped me.", before I could continue Vaelith said "You will not able to handle the real reality that exists beyond your scope." to which I replied "If that time ever comes I will try to handle myself properly with composure." listening to it Vaelith grinned widely and said "I will look forward to it." as we were continuing our chat a goofy moment appeared out of nowhere, where Vaelith said with a flat face "Oh and by the way I forgot to mention the power I used has taken a lot of toll on me so I will not able to help you much, so yeah I need very much needed rest." I just looked deadpanned at him and said "Wow, what a way to ruin the moment when I was starting to think you were cool." to which Vaelith replied "Hey I am not a machine who can work non stop so yeah I need some rest too.", "Whatever, just rest at the home I have already let you stay at my house." There was a silence after I spoke about sleeping at my house, and I was confused as to why he was taking so much time to think. "That's the thing I can't", Vaelith spoke, and I was looking at him dumbfounded. he further explained, "In this state, I am very vulnerable, so if I get attacked I won't be able to defend myself and I will perish." listening to it I was concerned and asked "So where you will rest now?" to which Vaelith smirked and pointed his fingers towards me and said "Inside you" to which I replied "did the use of that weapon short circuited your brain or something?" Vaelith regained his composure and said "I am sorry if that sounded wrong, what I meant to say was that I will live inside your innerveil."
I asked curiously, "what does this inner veil even mean?" to which Vaelith replied, "It is a thin hidden boundary between your life energy and soul. Every entity in existence has it. It contains the real state of the being itself." to which I replied "Ok Ok I get it, but why should I allow it?" to which Vaelith said "It is beneficial to both of us, I get a safe space to rest and in need when you are in trouble I can help you. So isn't it beneficial to both of us?" to which I pondered a little bit and replied "Its a good deal, but how to proceed with this so called innerveil process?" Vaelith held his hands up in the air and said "We need to do a mutual contract where you are the contractor and I get contracted, don't worry no harm will come and this is the safest and stabilized way, so yeah don't worry". "How to proceed with this mutual contract then? Do I need to sacrifice some blood or draw some circles or what?" I asked, to which Vaelith replied, "No such thing is required, you just need to put your right hand forward with the palm facing upward and then recite the mantra after me." "Whats a mantra? Is it like spells or something?" I asked to which Vaelith replied, "Mantra are sacred language oriented which are effective, these words are very heavy and organized language that are used since the beginning of the time." listening to him I was only able to nodd my head in response. "So are you ready?" Vaelith asked, to which I nodded my head and extended my right hand with the palm upwards, and he also extended his right hand with the palm facing downward and keeping it on my right hand and said "Then lets proceed and just repeat after what I say." to which I nodded and he began to recite it "Samvidā yacchāmyaham, svecchayā badhnāmyaham. Yathā icchasi tathā bhavatu, idaṁ saṁkalpasya bandhanam." listening to it I also repeated the mantra "Samvidā yacchāmyaham, svecchayā badhnāmyaham. Yathā icchasi tathā bhavatu, idaṁ saṁkalpasya bandhanam." Suddenly a a light enveloped both of us and when I opened my eyes Vaelith was not there anymore. I began to ask "OYE!!!!! Vaelith, where did you go? You just got vanished?" from within my body, I received a voice in my head which replied "I am here and no need to shout, you are hurting my head now." it was then that I realised that the contract was successfully established now and I sighed in relief. "So in case I needed to visit you, how will I be able to visit you?" to which Vaelith replied, "when the time comes I will tell you but for now I will be resting for 7 days so avoid going into any problems." I laughed and said "I do not go around getting into trouble but if it arises do not worry I will try to solve it myself, for now go for your precious needed nap." After that I didn't hear any voices which made me confirm that he has now went into his 7 days slumber. A troublesome day has come to end and I cant process that all these events happened in a span of 1 day, alas it has come to an end or else it would have driven me crazy.
