Taking Possession (Solo)

[Dra Nivera]

Summer 4, 512 AV

Dra floated closer to the small girl, focusing hard to keep herself and the air around her in a less than hectic state. They had tried to pick the best night possible for a possession. It was warm, the stars gave off calm light and the back alley they had chosen wasn’t particularly strange, the only thing that was not ‘normal’ about it being the slight purple light that the illuminating torches emitted.

Seline sat with her back to the alley’s wall and did her best to remain peaceful, open minded, and overall ready to receive. Using her mild experience with meditation she was able to block out much of the disturbances around her, a stray dog barking, the flickering of the torches, even the cold presence a ghost emits. Nivera was still careful though, and moved ever so slowly, drifting as an immaterial mass of Soulmist.

They had done this a number of times before, but both companions were still anxious every time they tried. Dra was always worried because she was entering a living thing, never expecting exactly what it would feel like to be alive again. She did not know why Seline worried, perhaps for the exhaustion that follows being possessed? Dra did not know, but she did know that prying into someone’s personal life was not always the best course of action after that someone pledges their loyalty to you.

The ghost shook her ethereal figure in an effort to clear her thoughts, she needed to stay focus on the task at hand and quit letting her mind stray. Nivera started with a touch, letting her Soulmist brush against Seline’s upper arm so that she could get used to the feeling. After seeing the girl remain still, the only thing changing being that her breathing speed increased, the ghost drifted a little closer, now basically linking arms with Seline.

Nivera began to hum idly as she moved; hoping the sound of pleasant notes would stop any tension from building. She felt her companion ease slightly, and felt a sort of releasing sensation come from where they were joining. Pushing a little closer, Dra found the entering grow a bit easier as Seline became calmer. This was it, Nivera thought to herself, here goes nothing. Before her host had a chance to again lapse into a state of unease the ghost made her move.

Dra quickly blinked herself into Seline, fully entering her body instantly. A rush of tired and euphoria quickly spilled through the ghost, her Soulmist being quickly drained by the possession, but she had done it. In her mind she felt Seline register surprise at the quick actions, though she still remained relatively calm as Nivera took control.

Pushing up with her legs, Dra shakily slid her back up the alley wall until she was standing. Opening her eyes slowly she saw the small backstreet as Seline did, the purple light cascading off the walls, the rough texture of the stones, the plants growing in the cracks, it all came to her. It’s an interesting sensation, Nivera though to herself, pushing away from the wall to try and stand on her own.

She felt a slight tremble in her body and tried to control it, focusing to fill the body out more completely with her Soulmist. The tremble did not cease however, and soon she found that even blinking was becoming a hard task to complete. Realising her time was now very short, Dra tried to sit back down against the wall. More accurately, she collapsed against the wall and used gravity to guide her to the ground.

Without any hesitation she drew herself out of Seline’s body and felt another wave of tiredness crash through her. Though she didn’t need to, the ghost sagged against the opposite wall of the Alley. Looking at Seline, Dra saw that her she was all but panting out her breaths and her eyes were fluttering to sleep.

“Good night,” Dra said, her voice shaking with her own exhaustion, “and thank you.”
