Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Suddenly, many memories flooded Raven's mind and helped her relax, almost forgetting about the bloodshed in the Human Plane.

Quietly, the mother daughter duo were both lost in thoughts as one worked on autopilot mode and the other kept on reliving her precious childhood memories.

Noticing this, the two demon maids were about to leave, but Kayla quickly shook her head at them, quietly. The mayor had requested they stay after all.

Not long after, Raven's long hair was cut very short, barely reaching the place where the base of her neck meets her shoulders.

Raven's mother suddenly looked down at her feet with a weird expression on her face.

The two demon maids were even more confused and surprised, their eyes were almost popping out of their sockets!

"Honey…" the mayor didn't understand what was happening. 

On the ground, Raven's freshly cut hair seemed to slowly glow with a stronger hue of crimson-purple as it slowly got shorter and shorter and eventually disappeared into thin air!

She was busy before, but she could clearly see it now! 'What's happening!?'

"It is giving back to the world…" Raven said before realizing how abstract she was. Taking a deep breath she started explaining again: "Every inch of my body, including my hair, is infused with magiculus. Err, you can think of it as extremely pure mana.

"So when you cut my hair, which is akin to a magiculus strand, it simply goes back to the environment and returns as World Energy. 

"With that being said, as long as I don't cut off my control, I can still control it!" Saying that, she pointed at the ground, at a bundle of her newly cut hair.

Suddenly, the hair on the ground stood up and started dancing like a living creature!

"Is- Is something normal? Err, is it common in every ranker?" The mayor stuttered.

"Nope, it's something that's special for me," Raven shrugged. "I don't know why either, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's because of my advanced mastery over mana manipulation!"

"I see," the mayor swallowed loudly. "Also, does this mean you can control the hair on your head like that?"

Not only was it her who was extremely curious, even the two demon maids were quite interested. Not to mention that this is the most personal information any demon has ever gotten about their mistress!

Many demon fan clubs will be overjoyed to hear something this special and personal about their Supreme Ruler and more importantly, their loved idol!

"Err, I can…" Raven answered her mother awkwardly. "But I never choose to actively control it, it makes me look like a medusa... it's pretty creepy!"

"Ah- I see," the mayor simply said, but her face showed extreme shock. It's like she never knew her girl, what more is she hiding? No, that's a stupid question… 

Needless to say, the two demon maids were surprised as well. Their mistress is pretty amazing!

"Um, Rave, doesn't that mean that you can freely control the length of your hair?" The mayor finally asked.

"No!" Raven shook her head, almost instantly, in an obvious lie. Of course she could, but why would she say that? Although everyone knew what was going on through her head, none commented.

*Sigh*

The mayor sighed and placed the scissors aside, not because she gave up on the hairdo, but because she was done with her first step. 

If her daughter lied because she wanted to spend some more time with her, why would she refuse?

"Ok, one more question…" the mayor said slowly. "What's up with the golden pattern on the top of your head, did you make it? I'm pretty sure it makes others envious, it's like a permanent golden crown!"

"Hehe," Raven chuckled. "Actually, it just happened naturally. I can control my hair strands, but not their colour. Not as of now, I guess…"

"Interesting!" The mayor smiled and the two demon maids nodded fiercely. They had to admit that the crown pattern was giving them a feeling of being in the presence of a queen, even though Raven was seated on a booster chair to support her height!

After the quick chat, the mayor turned her head towards Kayla and Gaia. The three suddenly got closer together, yet away from Raven, and started whispering quietly.

A few minutes later, the two maids were asked to join them.

Not long after, the four separated with satisfied smiles.

"Uhm, sounds good!" The mayor nodded before turning towards the two maids. "Let's proceed!"

The two maids said no words, they simply understood what the mayor said and obeyed. 

Glancing at the equipment, one held the beautiful comb while the other held the hair iron. 

Seeing the mayor nod softly as she grabbed a pink hairspray bottle and a hair dryer, everyone started with doing their part.

Raven simply sat there, closing her eyes, and enjoying the moment of peace. She had a faint feeling that she'd regret it if she didn't…

***

Minutes turned into hours quietly as everyone enjoyed their work.

After about three hours, the mayor and the two demon maids set their tools aside and looked at their masterpiece, their eyes shining!

Raven's silky crimson-purple hair was now tied in a beautiful flowery bun that was both neat and adorable. It seemed as though someone had attached a tropical rose on the crown of her head.

Now that the golden pattern has been mixed into the hairdo, it gave the flower on Raven's head a beautiful royal feeling!

Additionally, her flashy haircurtain has been transformed into two streams of beautiful bangs; one was curled down neatly, while the other was held up behind her ear like a shy spirit.

"You look stunning!" The mayor said while hugging her. The two demon maids didn't dare disturb the duo, but they kept on nodding fiercely.

"It looks weird…" Raven looked embarrassed, her cheeks flashing red. 

"Hehe, you look like a bride, if you ask me!" Kayla giggled as she sat back on Raven's shoulder.
