Alexander and I went swimming in the Spirit River. Energy and souls alike drifted by as we floated along, watching the turning of the Realms and traversing the entirety of the river. We started in the Heaven Realm.
Much of the time we spent in comfortable silence. We watched as spirits of all kinds manipulated the energy already existing in the land itself or was produced by souls – many of whom didn't even notice our presence – twisting it and putting it to work, following tributaries and creeks splitting off from the main River. We observed dark spirits, small things, not in service to the Shadow, as they milled about a village of elementals, feeding off of the negative emotions they produced, even as other spirits redirected or fed off of the more benign energies.
