Soul Flames and Cracks

Unknown number of years ago… 

She woke up with a splitting headache as she looked at the familiar stone room and the hovering flickers of flame. It was so bright in the room, because of that she ends up closing her eyes and laid back to bed to rest and stabilize her existence. 

With just a very tiny bit of soul, she already felt like the heavens were going to rain thunder of tribulations against her. 

'But it was successful for a little bit… If it can be longer… What if I managed to…' She thought to herself in hope but decided not to expect too much. There will be enough time to try again later. First, she needed to recover. 

It was painful trying one's soul fragment as was almost like burning life force. More so especially if it was so far from its owner. However, she did not complain. 

After a while of silence, she opened her eyes and saw that the flames were still there, waiting for her news patiently.
