In the familiar room, enveloped in a thin haze of Evol, Skyler's eyes snapped open and the world swam back into focus. He had formed his 3rd elemental crystal.
This time, he had succeeded in his first try, with nary a hint of pain. He already knew the process of forming a crystal. Perhaps that's why it didn't feel as hard as when he formed his first elemental crystal.
Now just like the golden and dark Evol, a wave of gray Evol pulsed through him.
He instinctively reached for his chest, his fingers tracing the outline of his heart.
There, within the depths, he felt it.
One more minuscule, ant-sized crystal, floating in a corner. A new sensation, a foreign presence, yet it felt… familiar.
It was as if this tiny gray-colored crystal was simply another part of his whole being that had been missing for a long time.
His brow furrowed in confusion.
