It took the two women a few minutes to separate the world energy into its elemental components as it entered their bodies. Friya had already experienced a similar phenomenon on the day she had achieved the violet, and so had Faluel.
The difference between them was that while the Hydra absorbed the world energy through her noses, broke it down into its components in her core, and then channeled the elements into her heads, Friya could directly absorb and split the world energy through the colored streaks in her hair.
It resembled what the evolved humans did with their wings, but unlike them, Friya lacked the means to release the elemental energy. The six colored streaks only supported the absorption process and acted as a filter.
After that, Faluel and Friya turned the pristine white of the crystals they held in their hands into a prismatic vortex. Yet they noticed that their vortexes' colors were less radiant and defined than Tezka's.
