The pain was terrible and continuous.
But then, all of a sudden, that terrible pain disappeared all of a sudden.
At the same time, Emrys felt like he had just lost something very precious, something that made him whole, but now, he was incomplete.
"What was that? What happened just now?"
Although he suffered terrible pain and felt something forcefully squeezed out of him, he doesn't exactly know what happened and what was taken away from his body.
But then, a drop of golden liquid materialized right in front of his eyes.
The instant Emrys saw this drop of golden liquid, he knew it belonged to him. He knew this was what forcefully took away from him. He knew this was his essence, his core, his soul's purest essence and form.
But now, it was out of his body.
