Within Kael's time bubble.
*BA DUMP!*
The deep and heavy sound of a beating heart echoed across the land within the time bubble.
Kael's golden lion form sat majestically at the center of the time bubble space. His tall figure shed a faint golden glow on the land around him.
His eyes were closed and his body was perfectly calm, perfectly still, and perfectly peaceful.
*BA DUMP!*
His heart beat heavily once again against his chest cavity, causing a small shockwave to spread out along with a shimmering golden pulse.
Before the pulse wave could reach the boundary that separated the interior of the time bubble from the outside world, Kael took in a deep breath.
As if commanded by Kael's inhaling action, the pulse wave reversed its motion, shrinking and flowing back into Kael's body.
The pulse wave formed a stream that circled around Kael's body a few times before eventually flowing into his nostrils.
