"Ah Divine One, I thank you for coming," Benjamin bowed, the tentacles on his face wriggling excitedly. "I hope I was not disturbing you?"
I waved my hand noncommittally, "It's no problem. So what do we have here?"
Stephanie stepped aside to show me the piece of parchment they had laid on the table, "Divine One might want to look at this…"
I went to her side and inspected the parchment, finding it decorated with runes and arranged in some sort of pattern.
It was a pattern that I recognised... A pattern that I was really, really familiar with.
And why wouldn't I be? This was exactly the thing that ruined my past life, the formation that I had used to ascend to the Spiritual Plane.
Ok, maybe not exactly the same, but it's similar. Mine looked a little more crude than this.
I'm pretty sure if I had used this formation to ascend, I would have managed to ascend without crippling myself.
