Chapter 11: Training I : The Weight of the Soul
Fade was still kneeling in the water-covered void.
The Cliff Watcher stood silently before him. The light in the room flickered dimly from an indistinct source. Neither day nor night. Neither was Fade alive, nor dead.
The Watcher of the Abyss spoke.
His voice didn’t echo. It was as if it had formed right inside Fade’s mind:
"The first lesson is to be able to carry your spirit." Strength is not just physical."
Your soul... is bound by chains. And without breaking these chains, you can neither reach true power... nor freedom.
Fade shook his head with a low voice. He didn’t feel ready, but he knew there was no turning back now.
The lookout raised his right hand.
A circle formed in the air. This was a passage, but not like a door; more like an opening vibrating like the wave created by a stone thrown into water.
