Inside the Spirit Shrine, Evanthe spent several hours infusing the dome-shaped stone chamber with her divine energy, a force far more potent than any other witch could muster. Once her task was complete, she floated gently to the ground and called out to her apprentice.
"Cornelia, you can stop now."
Seemingly lost in her own world, Cornelia did not respond; it was as though she had shut herself off from any external interruptions.
Evanthe's brow furrowed at the sight of this obstinate witch. Using her formidable powers, she severed Cornelia's connection to the spirit shrine, halting the flow of her essence meant to safeguard Morpheus' soul.
Startled, Cornelia opened her eyes, her expression one of clear displeasure.
