On the third day, the blue light in the darkness took but a few minutes to appear.
’I knew it!’Aran gloated in triumph. ’Awakening here I come!"
He focused on the light, willing for it to come to him.
After snack time arrived and the light was no closer than when it had first appeared, Aran decided to change approach.
’If it doesn’t come to me, I’ll go to it.’ He thought.
Aran sent his willpower to the blue light but when he touched it, the blue light disappeared and he found himself with his eyes open and staring at Salaark’s chair.
"Is everything alright?" She asked.
It was the first time Aran broke his focus on his own and for no reason.
"I think so." He closed his eyes and resumed his practice.
The blue light appeared again but it was always at the same distance. Aran tried making contact with it using each element, then with all possible combinations of two different elements.
When even that failed it was already lunchtime and the blue light hadn’t moved a millimeter.
On the fourth day, Aran tried all possible combinations of three different elements, then four, five, then came snack time, then all six elements at once. When even that failed, Aran tried using more mana, then less, then to circle around the blue light and strike at its back.
