Allow them to peer inside.

Like the flick of a switch, a surge of energy causes your vision to blur and then fade to white as your hair stands on end. Time seems to stretch and slow. It's not a frightening sensation or one of discomfort. It's warm, and pleasant as well--comforted by the embrace of two ancient, nurturing women beyond the troubles of the mortal realm. Whatever they may be, between spiritual beasts, demigods, or true deities, they're certainly not ordinary, though neither are you.

You come down just as quickly, though you still can't tell if that was a mere second or minutes or longer.

Their hands remain on your chest. Feli slides her touch gently up and down as she peers into your eyes. "You truly are an afront to what you call Goa. To twist the blessing of classes to something new would be sacrilege, though of course this wasn't your doing. It's unfinished--full of holes. I can see in your heart and mind that there is one other as well. Is this true?"

"Yeah," you reply. "William Cresswell. I have a feeling he's been filling those holes in other ways. I remember back when he absorbed the soul or whatever from Demon King Sa'dis, and I get the vibe that he doesn't quite know how I've been able to obtain the powers I have."

"Invisible ties," she says. "When you feel strongly towards somebody, whether it be positively or negatively, there's a tension there. Something that almost seems tangible at times. There is something truly special about emotion, especially that of love and lust. Perhaps the most intense positive feelings one may have. Imagine now, you standing her, with these four girls to whom you've become very close with. That sword of yours, Lauo. It seems to be able to grow in strength upon sensing arousal, which is quite perverted indeed."

"A strange idea for a weapon," Lepo adds.

"Yes. And if that arousal is directed at you, the power is stronger. Such a lewd weapon could be misused for certain. Though there's something else. Something in here," she says, tapping a finger against your chest, in front of your heart. "Because the ties between you and your allies is never stronger than when they're hardened by love. When you truly care for someone, and they care for you, there's a power there more mighty than most. Whether it's because of Lauo or not, and I believe it may not be, you've tapped into such a thing before, unless I'm mistaken."

"You said that when your sword was gone, the power still came to you, yes?" Lepo asks.

"That's right. It was like I could have used any weapon, and it would have had the power of Lauo."

"If I had to guess," Feli says as she draws her finger delicately down to your stomach. "Not only may it be possible that a hole was filled by the power of your awakened blade, allowing you to tap into the exact same enchantment without it in your possession, but something else as well... Was it the sword? Is this your own? Either way, I believe you've obtained a new power, Kyle Warren. Lust may be intense, and it may have been the intention of Lauo, but it's the concept of true affection that triumphs over those who fail to understand its worth."

"So I'm empowered by those close to me?" you ask.

"Perhaps," Lepo replies. "We can only sense so much. Not everything is clear to us. But there are those in your realm who know much more about the other questions you've asked. Allow me to give you something."

The mighty rabbit stands--her entire back enveloped by a fluffy cloud as she walks away. A blinding white light envelops her body, and it grows until it takes shape into a spectral blue behemoth of a bunny. Thump, thump. As she runs off, you feel it reverberate through your body. Then she leaps into the sky, and warps away from view.

"Ah... I love when she does that," Feli says with a hand on her cheek.

"When she uses Bunny Hop?" Eva asks.

"When she does anything."
