In the end, Eldrian failed to actually reach out to this feeling, this essence, inside of him. However, he could feel it was still there, waiting for him to move deeper into himself. Sighing he came back to reality only to see everyone staring at him in wonder.
"What?" He asked, causing everyone to jump.
"You're finally back," Flavia said, the first to recover.
"What?"
"You were just sitting there motionless for over fifteen minutes now. It was truly strange." Joren interrupted, "Don't use the chair again until I can confirm the system isn't going to pull any more tricks."
Eldrian didn't need to be told twice, while having grasped that strange essence in the darkroom, he did not wish for that pain again. He was not that insane, to go through that for just a feeling. Maybe if he knew what was really going on, but not just to try and grasp onto that essence again.
