A white orb, dense with soul energy, appeared in his hand. The moment it formed, I could feel it.
"What do you think?" he said with a wink. "I had to pull a lot of strings to get this. Dangerous ones. Costly ones. A little appreciation wouldn't hurt."
"Thank you," I replied.
He extended his palm, and the orb drifted toward me. The moment it came close, I reached out. The instant my fingers touched it, the orb dissolved.
It flowed directly into me.
There was no resistance, no delay. The energy passed through my body as if it didn't belong there, moving straight toward my core, toward the space where my soul resided.
My eyes closed on their own. I found myself inside my soul space. The vast ocean stretched endlessly, calm yet immense, its surface reflecting a faint glow. At its center stood my soul, towering over it.
Two hundred and fifty feet.
