A soul is one of the most powerful creations known to civilization. The quantity and diversity of souls among all creatures and even certain inanimate objects is an astounding, yet puzzling subject. Being able to fully manipulate the power a soul, be it your own or someone else's, can grant abilities which can rival gods or elevate you into positions of immense control and influence. A soul is a powerful weapon, and you know this to be true. Only someone like you can truly know the power of a soul. For only you have not one, but two souls possessing your body.
