When the shadow’s peeled back, the two quincy were in a world far different than their own. The chamber was large to the point of absurdity; houses could have fit underneath the vaulted ceiling. The floor was tiled and torches of blue light shone along the walls. At the center of everything was a pool, where the surface of a green liquid rippled ever so gently.Two white shadows were kneeled before the pool, their hoods and mantles hiding any indication as to who they were. Likely, they were the two mysterious quincy who had brought them here. Neither one spoke a word, and their spiritual pressures were tamed compared to what they once were.Again the surface of the pool rippled, but this time a child emerged. Long black hair shed the odd green water as if it were oil. Thin arms, toned but young, did the same. The pool kept him covered beneath the waist, though if he had any embarrassment at being nude he didn’t show it.Rolling his neck, the boy let out a loud moan of pleasure at the cracks coming from his joints. “You brought Claire and…?”“Kousenji Kotone,” the female spectre answered.“Ah,” the boy said. He turned around then, a pair of pale yellow eyes staring at the two before him. “The quincy who hides under a false name. Lovely.”
Suddenly the pool exploded into a mist of white lights. The reishi turned into strands which then became clothing, resulting in a billowing white cloak that covered the boy from the neck down. What was left became a series of steps that he slowly ascended, and then those steps became an icy throne that he sat in. His spiritual pressure was nothing worth mentioning, and his age did little to give him the aura of someone threatening. But those eyes…“Welcome to my throne room, children.” The boy rested his head on top of his right fist. “Do you by chance know who I am?”
