/Gasp!/

"!... What… What happened?..."

With heavy eyes and a sore body, Testros opened his eyes as he left his meditation. Exhaling deeply as his stomach rumbled…

His body momentarily shone with light, but that light was ephemeral, vanishing soon after before he even opened his eyes.

'I… I was… Hm… I understand now.'

After thinking about his experiences and sorting through his thoughts, Testros still had much to think, but a lot to go and try.

He still thought about them. Memories and regrets, what he experienced… 

What was it truly? It couldn't have been a figment of his imagination, it was all…

"The orb… Where is it?" He mumbled out loud as he realized the orb Dale gave him wasn't in his possession anymore

Testros looked for the translucent marble, but he couldn't find it no matter where he looked.

It was as if the marble never existed.
