A few moments later, Levi woke up in his small cottage... the green haze of the aether realm faded slowly in his spiritual vision until he found himself back in the Boundless Expanse. Immediately, he was taken by surprise, feeling rejuvenated and filled with life like he was reborn.
Ash'Kral watched him sit on the bed with a faint smile.
"You woke up earlier than expected..." He said. "Did you succeed in taming the Soulleech Maw? I thought it will be somewhat of a challenge to you."
Hearing this, it clicked in Levi's mind that Ash'Kral thought he was put in a dream by the Soulleech Maw to see if he had what it took to wield it.
Yet, Levi didn't blurt out the truth... he just looked at him with a confused expression and said, "I think so. I had a dream… or maybe not a dream... I don't know for sure. But, I did meet the Soulleech Maw, and it seems to have accepted me."
Ash'Kral's expression brightened up a little.
