A Second Death

Ezra sank to his knees as the vitality began rewriting his body and soul.

Making it stronger, better, faster. 

The energy from Olivia rushed into him, merging with his soul, making it denser and more physical.

He closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling until the energy stuttered. It surged forward again before crashing back, unable to do more.

Ezra's eyes shot open in panic. He could feel the energy building up with nowhere to go. He instinctively knew that if this was allowed to continue for much longer, it could result in something much worse.

He glanced around and his eyes fell on the Ascension well.

Adam's words replayed itself again.

"When you see the Ascension well, drink from it. Drink and open your eyes."

'I still haven't drunk from it, have I?'

He stood, stumbling to the fountain and dipped his hand in, almost falling inside.
