Connecting Worlds

It took the pair the rest of the day just to interact with the ambient mana actively. This was much tougher than in New Eden.

They easily understood that if mana had always been present, their bodies would be accustomed to it. So that cleared away the theory that it wasn't a recent phenomenon.

They could only have a light effect on it, though. Just enough to move it around and absorb a minute portion of the particles.

After barely an hour of absorbing some mana, the pair were already sweating profusely. Their bodies were fighting against this alternative energy source entering it, and they were tiring themselves out.

The first one to stop was Violette. Her body was smaller and she could take much less of this physical burden than Alexander.

Alexander kept absorbing mana for a few more minutes, before his body threatened to shut down from fatigue. He dropped to his back, gasping for air.
