As soon as they returned back and stepped foot into the Terra Castle, Emery went straight to his room. He closed the door behind him and immediately sat down in the lotus position, before finally focusing his attention on his condition.
Time passed unnoticed as Emery concentrated on his recovery. Much to his surprise, it took more than twenty four hours before he was finally able to perform any basic function without extreme pain stabbing his very being.
While he had indeed suffered another episode of excruciating and agonizing torture, Emery also couldn't help but feel happy when he discovered his spirit force had increased tremendously from this incident.
[Emery Ambrose]
[Spirit force: 1818 (1840)]
