"What the hell is going on?" Liara asked Reign who simply shrugged his shoulders before sitting across her on a chair.

"I truly have no idea, but you are what the demons are after, or the vortex that is inside of you, I'm still not close to figuring out just why it's so." Reign said with a sigh before looking straight into Liara's eyes.

"I need to check the vortex first, well, I need to check the barrier and how well it's holding up." Liara simply nodded at Reign before she started to take her shirt off.

"Ummm … what are you doing?" Reign asked Liara with a confused expression on his face.

"I'm … right, it's in my soul, I don't need to … take my clothes off." Liara blushed as she held her shirt, which was halfway off her body.

"Hey, I don't mind if you decide to take your clothes off, but yeah, you don't need to do that." Reign said with a smirk, to which Liara scoffed before putting her shirt back on.

"Alright, now, close your eyes and relax, alright?" Reign told Liara before placing the chair right in front of her and sitting down before putting his hand on her head.

Both of them closed their eyes and Reign concentrated as he used his own soul to go inside her soul. He hoped the barrier was still holding on as he had used most of his soul power previously, which meant that he might not be able to create a barrier right away.

As he went deeper inside her soul, he arrived at the vortex, and the sight made him narrow his eyes. His barrier, it was still there, and it was the same as back when he first placed it.

'This … shouldn't be possible.' Reign stated as he observed the barrier that had taken no damage from what he could see.

'Aethion, what's going on here, how is the barrier still perfect, there's no damage on it at all.'

"That is weird, incredibly weird, the vortex is spinning, and both me and you can see that it's still functioning as before, pulling stuff in it, the barrier should have weakened by now, at least half of it should have been gone, and yet, nothing, no, this can't be right at all," Aethion said with a concerned voice as he did his best to observe the barrier together with Reign.

Jared was there and he did the same, doing his best to help out, but unfortunately, matters concerning the soul and soul power were not things he was well versed in, so it was difficult for him to give them any sort of help.

"The thickness of the barrier is undoubtedly the same as when you first placed it, hmmm … even the density, the power it has, everything is fine."

'Yeah, but that shouldn't be possible right?'

"We both already said so, no need to repeat yourself, boy."

'I know, but this is simply too weird, something is off, there's no way the vortex was unable to do anything to the barrier, I placed it here, I know its strength and durability, it's impossible for it to have withstood the vortex for over 12 hours without suffering any damage.'

Reign arrived right in front of the barrier and tried to push it with his soul, he even attacked it lightly, making sure it was still durable, and it was.

"Hmmmm … wait … boy, we might be looking at this the wrong way."

'What do you mean.'

"The vortex, it draws in souls, right?"

'Yeah, but the barrier was created out of souls, so it should have been damaged.'

"Yes, but, the outside of the barrier doesn't really have soul power in it, the inside is where the souls are, so what if the vortex did damage it, but you can't see it because it didn't damage it from the outside?"

Reign's eyes widened as he placed his hand on the barrier and used his soul to investigate it from the inside, it was then that his eyes widened further as he realized that Aethion was right, the outside of the barrier was still perfectly fine, but inside, the souls that had been used to create the barrier were weaker, and not by a small margin.

"How did it manage to do that, the entire barrier is formed out of the souls, even if the inside is where most of the souls are, and it is where the soul power is concentrated in, how did it manage to weaken it from the inside without doing anything from the outside, that makes no sense!" Reign said loudly as he stared at the barrier, and then at the vortex that was inside of it.

The vortex was still spinning, and Reign could feel its pull, although it was barely affecting him as the barrier was doing its best to isolate the vortex from what was outside of it.

"I don't know, but it is inside Liara's soul, and yet, it hadn't damaged her soul in the slightest, which also shouldn't be possible when looking at how it pulls in souls and soul power, right?"

'Right, her soul should have been damaged by now, even back when I first noticed the vortex, it was trying to pull me in, as well as the fragments of Lieara's soul, and yet, it was doing nothing to Liara's soul.'

"It's a tricky thing, this vortex, I have never seen anything quite like it."

'About 40% of the barrier's power is gone, and it's all from the inside, I guess it can only hold on for about 14 hours more, which is good, I should have replenished more than enough soul power to create another barrier at that point.' Reign said with a sigh before going out of Liara's soul.

"It's done." Reign said as Liara opened her eyes and stared at him.

"The barrier is still there, about 40% has been eaten away by the vortex, so for tonight, you won't need to worry about the vortex making you behave differently."

"I would have replenished the power of the barrier right now, but I can't, the battle against the Ethereon Demons forced me to use almost all of my soul power, so I'll reinforce the barrier, or create a new one tomorrow." 

Reign got up and nodded at Liara before making his way over to the door, only to suddenly be stopped by Liara who grabbed his shirt from behind.

"Ummm … could you stay the night?" Liara asked with a red face as Reign raised an eyebrow.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm only asking you to stay the night in case something weird happens with the vortex, I'd rather you be close to me so that you can help right away," Liara said as she looked to the side, to which Reign smiled and nodded his head.

"Alright, I don't mind staying the night." Reign closed the door and walked toward the bed, to which Liara looked at him weirdly.

"Shouldn't you be a gentleman and offer to sleep on the couch or the floor?"

"Nah, not really, not to mention that we have already done much more than simply sleep together in this bed, so what's the problem with just sleeping here?" Reign asked Liara before sitting on the bed.

"Don't worry, I don't snore, plus, the bed is big enough for even 4 people to sleep in, we'll just each stay on our side and it'll be good." 

Liara stared at Reign before scoffing and going to the other side of the bed.

She immediately lay down, while Reign stood up and started undressing.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?!"

"I'm not going to sleep in this, that's just weird." Reign said as he turned around, facing Liara whilst being topless, to which she looked to the side with a nervous expression.

"Are you really going to sleep in that, it doesn't seem comfortable at all." Reign asked Liara who got up.

"I won't, but I still have the decency to change in the bathroom."

"Well it wouldn't matter in my case, I sleep in my boxers, so no matter where I take my clothes off, you would still see me only wearing that." Reign's words made Liara flinch before she hurried and got in the bathroom, to which Reign simply shook his head and smiled before covering himself with one of the two blankets that were on the bed.

Liara came about 5 minutes later, wearing white pajamas that were a bit wider than her normal clothes.

"Good night Liara, and don't worry, I'll help out if anything happens to the vortex." Reign said as he yawned and closed his eyes, to which she only nodded her head before lying down as well.

She felt a bit weird at the whole thing, but she merely sighed before closing her eyes and falling asleep as well.
