Rowan was a few hundred feet to the ground before he stabilized his descent, but the energy of Ascendancy flowing in his body and outside of it had weakened, if before it was flowing through large pipes, now it was as if the passage of energy had been reduced to passing through a straw.

Underground he could feel the Shiik becoming agitated as energy flooded its being and its size began to expand, cracking the earth around it.
