To Walk The Mist Chapter 43

The pond! This must be it . Understanding this, Ed begun absorbing once more . This time, directly from the pond . All hell broke loose .

Ed did not understand that he had set in motion calamity in a section of the great spill .

Inside a large cave, workers and guard moved round . They worked for the south side city . Their job was to secure, protect and help with distribution of energy to all caves . As one passed the long hall ways underground, one would see the pale pink veins running through the walls and the ground . These veins were filled with a pale pink liquid that flowed non-stop . These were veins of pure astral energy

This cave was only one of the many caves in the great spill, and they were considered one of the smaller caves . Inside a great room, a man sat in lotus fashion, in deep contemplation . The pecks of working here meant, access to the direct energy from the veins .

The man received an urgent sound transmission .

"Lord Kan! The vein is dry up!" the man opened his eyes immediately .

"Enter!" he said and a woman rushed in .

"What happened?" he asked .

"The vein is loosing it's strength . You must have felt it right?" she said urgently .

"Do you think I can feel such a thing? The energy we feel is only a one thousandth of a tiny fraction of that emerging from the vein!"

"I'm sorry!" she cowed at his tone .

"Where is it coming from?" he asked .

"This way . " she led him through a winding path . Through the hall way he could see that he was not the only one in panic . People were rushing all over the place . Most of them in the same direction . He arrived at the main vein . It was a as large as a small stream . The glow in the liquid was deeming .

"How is this happening?" he asked in panic .

"I don't know . It just started . " the woman answered .

"Has there been any important activity to day? Did something big just happen?" he asked .

"Lord Kan, did you forget? Yesterday, newcomers arrived the great spill . They have just been showed to their caves . " someone answered .

"That is the only big thing thing that has happened for a while . Even the great factions and the top tens have not moved at all . " another said .

"Are you saying that a new comer could . . . . " the woman started to say .

"Shut up! What new comer? Even a soul realization master can not mine this entire branch vein away! Is that what you are going to tell the council when they ask?!" Lord Kan scolded her shut . He was so angry, one could see veins pooping at the side of his head .

"What do we . . " the woman started to say before she stopped . It had only been three breaths of time, and the liquid was now barely pink .

"Call the healers! Inform the council! Fast!" Lord Kan shouted at all the people standing around and everybody disperse quickly, looking for who to inform .

An another three breaths and the entire liquid turned clear .

The vein was dry of astral energy!

Lord Kan felt his vision go dark as he coughed a mouthful of blood . The others may not have known why he was so dramatic, but he understood, his life here was over . It would be a miracle if he was not killed .
