Night Business

As I slipped into sleep, I triggered a pulse of mana in my soul, reaching down to the Oracle of Eternity. When my eyes closed and my consciousness faded, I found myself in my soul space again. I'd expected some mental resistance, some instinctive hatred of the place after spending what felt like years locked within it, but instead, it felt like I was coming home. The stars glimmered brightly as though happy to see me, and I smiled faintly.

"I'm back," I said to no one in particular.

I didn't know if this was the best idea, having a vision when I should have been fully resting, but I needed answers more than I needed sleep. Besides, my body could heal while I existed in the soul space.
