That was quite surprising, but it got a perfect explanation that he thought of quite fast. "It seems having that noisy spirit by my side has its perks after all," he couldn't help but take a peek at that golden star which now was silently standing on his shoulder after shrinking its body to become as small as a tennis ball.
The spirit was indeed quite shocked by everything happening around it. It was his first time to come here to this world, and everything William did was new to him.
Even though it knew the way, it couldn't do it as it didn't have the right elements or pre-requirements to do it. It saw William take lots of organs out, but it didn't know what was special about these, and didn't know how to obtain monster organs and bring them to the spirit world in the first place.
It was quite frustrating for it, and yet it intended to pester William a lot about this after getting out of here. But first, it kept watching everything happening with great interest.
As it was within William's body and spirit, it could clearly see everything William was seeing. And as William guessed it, it shouldered lots of pressure and resistance, making it hard for William to suffer any backlash in this world.
After all, spirits were well protected by fate and destiny, and were on a whole new level than humans and monsters.
William kept seeing flashes of Panther's life. And he had to admit, that master really lived a great life indeed. He faced lots of challenges and troubles, starting with losing both parents when he was six, just about to start his spirit master's life journey. When that happened, William saw the kid swear to himself to not rest until eradicating all the monsters from the face of the world.
As he progressed and grew up, he learnt about the presence of dark masters, knew how they were the ones controlling the monsters, the ones behind everything bad happening in the world.
Once realised this, he made his top mission to eradicate such cancer from the surface of the world. William knew why Panther was so supportive to him and his guild from the very beginning. It was indeed because of his life dream.
Panther then discovered his ability to see the future in one of the adventures outside, when he saw how dark masters ambushed him and his team. He tried to warn them, but none listened. Then after he tried to save everyone, failing to do so eventually as he was alone, he decided back then to build up something that he only could control; the Lockheart impact.
Like William, he had a goal to achieve, and had the means to do it. He used his ability to see the future to recruit all of his future impact's big names from a young age, looked for them, did them favours, helped others, and at some times he even gave benefits and paid for others to work for him.
He slowly gathered lots of talents, rose up in power, while amassing wealth and connections. In the end, he managed to establish the impact here, and named it Lockheart as a symbol of how his heart was deadlocked on one and single goal.
William saw everything rolling to his favour since then, worked to gather more members, expand the reach and fame of his impact, and tried to build branches in other cities.
He eventually reached the stage he wanted, and yet his dream was hard to achieve. He saw him speaking with others about giving out a long term task to take down dark masters, and that was the one William picked in the first place before coming to the Scorching Lands fort.
And then things totally changed the moment William appeared in the picture. Everything rolled out quite nicely, and he could see how excited and happy, how proud Panther was.
After all, even if William was an outsider, he came here thanks to the mission he issued with his friends long years ago. He saw in William someone who answered his callings and prayers.
William saw Panther gather up with his impact's higher ups circle, and stating clearly that supporting him was this impact's real goal and highest aim. Even if many didn't believe in William, they believed in their leader. So they listened to him, showed lots of support to William.
William would have felt bad if the leadership of the new city didn't fall in Panther's hands after seeing all this. But he knew the man got his long dream fulfilled, got his revenge, killed and eradicated dark masters and monsters from this area as he wished for. In addition to that, he got richly rewarded by fate and destiny, ending up for him to lead the entire city.
Then William watched the events that happened for five years after that war. Everything was shown to William in great detail, and he could tell how Panther was happy by such a result, how he was excited about the future.
He saw everything until that day. It appeared as flashes of images and scenes like usual, and there Panther was sitting in his building, overseeing the new construction project that aimed to triple the current size of the city.
He and others learnt about what happened at Lara's city, and they didn't delay sending lots of envoys out to the entire world, asking masters and normal people to come.
Even if normal people weren't masters, they were the grander pool that gave birth to a constant supply of masters. As the world focused on Lara's city, it was time for them to take part in such a big cake.
Panther sent lots of masters, and didn't adopt the same strategy og Lara's city leaders. He didn't just spread the word, and planned for his delegations to personally meet various forces and ask them to join the city.
