As I lay down, I cleared my head and removed all unnecessary thoughts from myself.
I focused on the the empty deck of cards and the brush. Suddenly I imagined myself being a painter. Since I can't get a power. Let's just relax and paint something on the card.
I thought of my husky that I had back home. Hoping that someone else will be at least feeding her. She was kind and loyal. Always there to protect me when needed. I remembered the day I adopted her and brought her home the first time. Giving her the name of Sia. Unknowingly, I smiled as I remembered those times and suddenly there was movement from the brush.
It first slightly vibrated and then it disappeared from my sight. Then one of the empty cards came out of the deck and it too disappeared. Just as I was wondering what is happening, an excruciating pain coursed through my body. It felt as if I was losing my blood and essence. But just as the pain came, it went away. But I felt totally empty now. Like a rechargable battery drained out of its power.
The next thing I saw, the brush was back in its original place. And immediately after the card came into view and on it was Sia, my husky.
I dont know why but at this moment I felt like trying to manifest the card. I closed my eyes, concentrated and with all my heart I willed the card to manifest.
From my right palm, I saw a light and then the card manifested. I took the card, and looked at it. The success of manifesting the card slowly growing on me. I was on cloud nine. On one side of the card the was Sia. On the back of the card, there was an attribute panel.

I held the card in my hand. I was happy beyond words. How do I manifest Sia. That's all the thought I have now.
I tried, " Sia, appear". Nothing happened.
Again I tried. "Come out Sia". Nothing happened again.
"Abracadabra Sia". Nothing.
I tried a few more times. Again nothing happened. Disappointed, I forced myself to go to sleep. I was still feeling empty and exhausted from drawing Sia.
Next morning, I woke up did my running and sparring and after dinner I went back to my quiet place away from the two brothers.
Somehow. I feel refreshed and even recharged. The empty feeling from yesterday now gone. I thought back to the words the brothers shared. The card the card creators created can be put in other people souls to manifest them.
I looked at the Sia card again. Most of it easy to understand like loyalty and bravery 100.
But the question is , is 100 the top? Are there any higher values? Strength 12 and Agility 15, can these be improved? If possible, what are the requirements? So many questions but no one to assist me. Perhaps those Card drawers who are with Kings can assist me, but how do I even begin looking for them. And if I did find them, what do I even say? " Hello, I'm also a card drawer but I'm very new. Can you kindly share some knowledge with me"? I laughed to myself as I thought of this. Most likely they will immediately capture me and and force me on the production line to create Sia for others.
As I held the card, I felt a tugging near my heart. The tugging felt as if it was calling out to the card in my hand. Unconsciously, I moved my right hand that was holding the Sia card to my heart. As soon as it neared my heart, I felt a suction and the card just disappeared.
Next thing in my mind I felt like a new window in my mind palace opening up. Just like that I instinctively knew I can now call out Sia.
I called, "Come out Sia".
Out of nowhere, a light materialized and began to take shape. A few seconds later I saw Sia in her full size curling on the ground. She opened her eyes and a look of familiarity and love materialized in her eyes. She let out a soft bark as a greeting.
"Hello Sia. Thanks for coming" I knew it was my Sia, the same husky I loved all these years. I went to hug her. She wagged her tail non stop in excitement.
I took a better look at Sia now. She is way bigger that I remembered. Although she is loving towards me, with her size, I can imagine how ferocious she can be if I asked her to attack. Put it this way. If she is not my dog, I would be afraid to go near her. She looks huge and mean. A predator! The best guard I can ask for and with her loyalty at 100, I finally can at least protect myself in this scary new world.
I looked inside my mind and felt a very strong connection with with Sia. I could read all her stats as well. I went through it all once again. This time I stopped on the "copies available 100". What does this mean?
Once again I focused on the card. A question seem to form in my mind? How many copies? I thought about it and said 2 copies in mind.
Once again there was a light ony palm and then out of the blue, 2 new cards of Sia materialized in my hand.
I looked at the description at the back. It is identical to what was said on the original Sia card except for the name, status and copies available part.

With Sia excited and barking, Big one and Big Two hurriedly came to me. I guess they were afraid some animal sneaked past their watch.
As soon as they saw Sia, they readied their weapons. Sia growled at them, ready to pounce, all her fur standing up. She looked absolutely scary and not one to mess about with.
I hurriedly looked towards Sia and the two brothers and said, " calm down Sia, calm down my brothers, it's mine. I recently just figured out how to manifest my power. I smiled at the two of them, my first friends in this new world. I held out the other two Sia cards and said. "And these are for you".
