Transmigrated as a Ghost

Sighing Marcus looked at Tesia who seemed to have some uncanny ability to read people, and then towards Marek and said, "When I was on the brink of death a while back, that vampire saved my life by giving me a certain item that is very rare and valuable. It not only kept me alive but also made me a lot stronger.  Though apparently in return I have to help out her master whenever I get called for or some curse will activate. So, I believe that she was just protecting an investment, and getting a new one by roping in Jadzia as well."

Looking at Tesia, Marek looked for her conformation and she nodded her head confirming that Marcus had spoken the truth.

"Okay, if that is all it was, and you are not planning something with that vampire then that is good. And I suppose without her assistance our loses would have been far greater. But that is only one question I need answered. Jadzia was withholding and would not say how you knew each other. But I can tell that you are closer than just two people that met a few days ago. How are you connected?" Marek asked to Marcus.

In turn Marcus used his telepathy and said to Lyra, 'Should we tell them. I do not want to cause a rift between you and the rebellion if possible.'

'Okay, I guess if you are willing to it should be fine. I trust Marek and Tesia so I believe that they will accept it easily enough.'

With both of them in agreement Marcus held his hand out to Lyra to let her speak, since it really was her place to answer to her superiors.

"You are right that we both know each other. We met a very long time ago, before I joined the rebellion or even lived in this kingdom. We actually are both from another world and that is where we know each other from." 

Hearing this both Marek and even the normal calm Tesia had shocked expressions as they looked at Marcus and Lyra.

They both knew of the fact that sometimes people from another world would show up in their own, and these people often had extraordinary powers.

Of course, both Marcus and Lyra fit this bill perfectly seeing as how for their levels they were some of the very strongest, able to hit above what their normal weight class should be.

"They are telling the truth." Tesia said almost in disbelief.

For a moment she thought that maybe this was an elaborate lie, but with the insight given to her by one of her unique skills, she was certain that Lyra had just spoken the truth.

Marek could only look at them, flabbergasted. 

Meeting one person from another world was already a rarity, something that most never could confirm at least.

But to meet two at the same time, and two that knew each other was infinitesimally slim.

In fact, the odds must have been close to the same as a shark being struck by lightning while it was trying to eat you.

"I see, so you both came from another world. I suppose that does explain why you are impeccably strong for you age and have so many rare skills Jadzia." Marek said still trying come to grips with what he had just heard.

However, Tesia who had already recovered from her momentary shock said, "Now then. Jed what are you exactly. You look human but when I tried to heal you, I felt that there was no blood or organs in your body."

Wincing, Marcus had kind of been hoping to keep this a secret, but since the cat was out of the bag anyway, he decided to tell them, most of the truth.

"I see I have been found out. Just like how Jadzia here became a fox beast person, when she was originally human on our other world. I have become something different as well. Now I am a spirit of light and darkness."

To prove his point Marcus disappeared and reappeared and then cast his shield of light spell, and a darkness wall.

Rubbing his head, Marek was definitely having trouble accepting everything he was hearing right now which was far from normalcy.

He could not claim to be an expert on spirits by any means, but he knew that the powers of light and darkness rarely ever existed together in one entity.

"I see so that is why I sensed such strong spiritual energy from you. To think that you were actually a spirit, and quite a rare one at that." Tesia said impressed by Marcus' control over his dual elemental nature.

After that Marek wanted to know a bit more about Marcus' and Lyra's connection, and the two told him that they were friends a long time ago.

Though they did not go into any real details since it was a bit of a personal matter and at this point, they felt they had said enough.

"Okay I just need to know one more thing then. Jed what are you really to the kingdom of Borealia."

Taking a minute to think about this.  Marcus' status was a bit ambiguous.

"Hm, I guess that I would have to say that I work with them on occasion. I have recently gotten on the good side of the king by helping him out with a big problem, so while I do not fully work for him, I do offer my help when needed. But for the most part I am a free spirit that does whatever I want. And right now, what I want to do is help my old friend which is why I have joined in with your rebellion."

Leaning back in his chair Marek took in everything he had heard and pieced through it.

He then looked at Marcus seriously and said, "So you have no intention of betraying us?"

"So long as Jadzia stays in the rebellion, I will not betray her. In truth I could care less about you rebellion. The only reason I am here is to make sure she survives."

Nodding his head Marek understood where Marcus was coming from, and now he felt that he could trust Marcus.

Not to fight in the rebellion, but to protect his friend.

"That is fine I do not care what your reasons are so long as they benefit us. You have already done much, allowing us to kill two great knights and secure a new alliance. Now I believe we are done here so you are free to do as you please."

Marek then turned towards Jadzia and said, "Jadzia could you go and get the rest of the captains and bring them back here. We need to tell them what we have learned about the vampire and to ease their worries about your friend here. Naturally what has been said in this room will stay between us. I have no wish to bring up unnecessary details that might make things harder you."

With that Marcus and Lyra left the room and Marcus descended the tower before going back to Lyra's tent to prepare a meal for himself and Roxene.

While Lyra attended the rest of the captains meeting as the rebel leaders planned their next course of action.
