Ange felt a singular point in a distant place, completely unlike the other nodes in the Soul Network. Out of curiosity, he projected himself there without much thought.
He had done this many times before - projecting onto a silver coin, onto Anthony, onto Oke. But this projection felt considerably longer. In the end, he found himself in a body.
The dormant Soul Heart started to beat again. Blue flames ignited in the empty eye sockets. Then, Ange realised he was in the body of an Ashbone Skeleton clad in armour.
The skeleton was huddled within a small cubicle, its hands clutching its knees. It had been in a deep sleep, unknown for how long, until Ange's arrival sparked a resurrection of the soul.
A few residual thoughts invaded Ange's mind from the skeletal body: "Locke! Unbeatable! Locke! Steadfast! Locke!..."
"Locke?" Ange was perplexed. Why did Steadfast Locke's thoughts remain within this skeleton? Could Locke have not died and have followed the 'King' here instead?
