An Extra’s POV

"Huu…"

With a stable heartbeat, yet steady excitement, Rey held the Dyubbuk forward and stared at the Symbiote Slime.

"Let's make a binding vow, friend." He managed to leak out a trustworthy smile as he watched the sludge do its best to escape, to no avail.

The slime ignored him, as it continued trying to run, so Rey chose to repeat himself.

Nothing changed.

'Damn. How exactly am I supposed to communicate with this thing?' Rey thought to himself.

Then, a certain thought came to him.

Within the vast surrounding that they found themselves in—with the aged walls and dreary atmosphere—he chuckled, stretching his hand out to the slime.

~WHUSH!~

In an instant, the Zone of the Slime instantly shifted, and it became much closer to Rey. Once this happened, Rey reached out his hand and neared the ooze.

'Ater isn't saying anything, but since he isn't disapproving then this can't be a bad idea…' Something Rey noticed about his Familiar was that he preferred letting the former figure out certain things himself.

He only intervened when Rey was grossly wrong, or if he wanted to reveal something unknown—something Rey couldn't have found out himself.

'Right now, he's letting me figure out how to communicate with the Slime. Well, here goes…'

The moment Rey touched the tip of the jelly-like creature, some sort of spark rushed through his body, sending every aspect of himself into some kind of overdrive.

It was like being pricked by a needle in a finger, yet feeling the sensation throughout the body. This didn't feel like pain, though.

It was something different…

'It feels like power.'

~Hello. What do you want from me?~

The sudden voice that echoed in Rey's head would have caused anyone to jump in surprise—perhaps even scream—but the lad maintained his cool.
