Akins was a good boy. Akins served his master for the entirety of Akin's life. Akins was a friend, a mentor, and family to his master. His master only saw Akins as a friend and loyal companion, but Akins had a couple gifts that was gifted by the gods at his birth. The first was not known by anyone, not even to Akin. The second gift was Akins ability to be aware of that within others that they themselves cannot see. Akin saw the King sitting in wait within the lowly peasant boy who he called master. Akin saw a true leader and a true King and Akins knew that his companion was a great master. Not a master such as an imprisoner or a dictator but a master of something greater. A master of something unknown to most, a master of something unperceived by the senses. A master of the unknown mystical arts. A Shaman in waiting and a Sorcerer in hiding.
Akins spent every minute that he could by his master's side. Akins would always come running anytime the master was being attacked by a dark spell and shield him from the attack. Akins would attack his master with kisses in order to wash away all the darkness and let the mystical light shine out from his master's heart center. Akins was no match for all the dragons that would always seem to come around to attack his master, but he would never fail to kiss the cuts and bruises away. Akins never wavered in his conviction of his master's true identity. Akins only ever saw the King sitting on his thrown.
The time had come for Akins, the same as it comes for all. Akins needed to enter the spirit realm, his job was done, he had served his purpose, or so he had thought. Akins never feared this day, Akins never thought about it. To Akins, leaving his body meant nothing, for Akins knew he was really just the spirit within. The body was simply for giving kisses and Love, that is all. Akins master was strong now, his master had finally seen who he is, he had finally seen the king within of himself. Akin had one last lesson to teach his master with his body as he was leaving it behind. Akins was so steadfast in his Love for his master that not even death of the body could keep him away from his master.
Akin's master didn't believe in the spirit world, Akins master thought that when the body died, that was the end. Lights out. Akins master didn't believe in the afterlife even though he had gone to the underworld and met Thoth. Akins master still didn't believe in the spirit world even after meeting Anubis twice. Akins master couldn't see that he was a great wizard of light and mystery even though he had an effect on everyone he came into contact with. Akins master didn't allow himself to believe because he Loved the body of Akins and he Loved all the kisses. Akins master thought he would miss Akins when he left his body behind. Akins master was with him when Akin slipped out of his body. Akins master couldn't let go, he didn't know how. Akins master begged and pleaded with the gods to let Akin stay.
Akins simply licked his master with his spirit body, and it was then that his master was able to let go of his physical body. Akins master cried for three days and three nights. Akins was mummified and placed into his master's tomb in wait for his master's body. Akins master could still feel Akin's kisses when he was being attacked by dark enchantments. Akins master could still feel Akin every night laying between his legs as he sleeps. Akin leaving his body taught his master that the body is just a seed into the spirit realm. Akins master told Akin to go explore the world and that he was fine without him, yet Akins refused. Even in death of the body, Akins still won't leave, loyal to his convictions through every transition of the spirit.
Akins truly lived up to his first gift of which he wasn't even aware of. His first gift was his name which means Brave. Akins was brave in the face of attack. Akins was brave to see the King inside the peasant boy and to never back down in that conviction. Akins was brave in his passing into the spirit realm. Akins greatest gift was teaching his master to be brave. Little does Akin know that his master considers him the master.
