Working Together

The next six months were spent in constant pain as I forced myself to do the same grueling absorption of the Red Eyes' power. I would have to spend hours in the light every day, and it seemed to get harder and harder every day. I had never felt so much pain in my life, but I never backed down. The red crystal room was starting to feel like a second home to me at this point, but one of chaos and discord.

Lilith was with me the whole time, pushing me to be stronger and never give up. She believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. The thing that was between us had been palpable at night, so we spent all of our time projecting to different places in the dimension. Projecting outside of this place would create a paradox, and there is a chance that I would get sucked out of this loop, which might cause this body to go out of control.
