Chapter Ten

After the Kitsune disappeared into the spirit realm, I stood in front of the open portal and looked in for a moment. I’d never visited the spirit realm before, only peeked in a few times when I had the chance. It was beautiful there, and each creature I saw frolicking past looked at me with eyes that saw more than what a normal animal would. All living beings just outside my world were spirits in their natural habitat, and a few of them stopped and stared at me for a few passing seconds. They were beautiful and tranquil in their silent forest home, and I didn’t want to disturb them for much longer. I replaced the God Slayer into my pocket as my minions headed towards the stairs we’d climbed earlier. I held out both hands toward the tear in our reality and closed my eyes as I breathed in deeply. I tensed my fingers in the air as I brought my hands closer together. I didn’t see it, but I felt it as the slit to the spirit realm inched back together.

I could hear the whisper of wind through the seam, and smell the fresh scent of rain in the distance as I healed the tear in our world. I sewed it back together with my power, and when I reopened my eyes, the tear was utterly gone, and so was the spirit realm beyond.

There was a heavy sense of emptiness here with Kukan gone, and I turned towards the stairs where my minions waited patiently for me. I went down the stairs first with my women on my heels, and they sensed something missing in the halls of the structure too. The flickering lamps pressed into the walls seemed to have lost their golden light, and their flames stood stock still. As we passed each one, they snuffed themselves out, and when I glanced back at Carmedy, her black ears lay flat against her head, and her emerald eyes moved over the wooden boards at her feet. We entered through the archway into the room filled with water, and the stepping stones stretched and widened for us to cross comfortably. It was like the entire structure sensed the absence of the Kitsune and shut itself down before our eyes.

The large water creature we’d witnessed earlier didn’t rise to the surface, and we hurried across the water back towards the hall. Rana was the last to enter, and she peered over the foundation to look into the black depths of the water. I listened to her thoughts and knew she wondered about the dead pirates, but the redhead quickly brushed it off and hurried after us.

We moved down the hallway, and this time, it was just a regular corridor, no tricks or puzzles to solve. At the end of it, we didn’t turn around and look, but I felt something building within the structure that I hadn’t before. When we stood on the roof, it felt empty, but now it felt incredibly full like the entire structure was coming to life under our feet.
