Only the very tips of their fingers touched, just a hair's breadth of contact. Even so, maintaining that tenuous connection was an immense struggle for Westheid. A powerful repulsive force nearly tore his flesh from his bones, and half his body endured an agony akin to death by a thousand cuts.

Wan Qi stared blankly at their fingertips. In the candlelight, her eyes were like brilliant, deep rubies, shimmering through a hazy mist.
"Mm."
The Master of Extinction nodded lightly, and energy like a molten current flowed from her fair arm, through their point of contact at her fingertip, and into Westheid's body.
"Accept this, my love. It was for you that I grew so powerful... even if I have forgotten what you said."
