"Shadow's ash."
Rudy blinked twice to deactivate his vision ability and looked at the spot where he saw the spiral trail of ashes. But of course, it wasn't there.
He activated his vision ability again and inspected the ashes.
"Why is it here? And… how the heck do I know what it is? It should be my first time seeing it… yet, somehow… I knew what it was. Why is it here in the first place, and what does it mean?"
Rudy asked himself.
'Shadow's ash… that literally means the ash of the shadow. But how can a shadow have ash? Is this a metaphor or a word with a hidden meaning? Shadow… shadow… sha…dow…
Rudy moved his hand to touch the spiral ash, but as soon as his hands got near it, the ashes began to reverberate crazily as though they were alive. Nonetheless, that wasn't enough to stop Rudy; he touched the spiral anyway.
He grabbed it in his grasp and muttered, "Reverse."
