Arad couldn't believe it, Shi's soul was dormant for so long that he almost forgot she existed deep within him. To think that she was the one to pull him out of the labyrinth's grasp.
^No, noise… You heard.^ As simple as in life, as she is in death. But even with such few words, Arad understood what she meant; she is a part of his soul now after all. There is too little noise inside him now. She had been awake for a while, but the noise created by Arad's Pricolici, dragonic, and other powers was enough to muffle her up, bury her beneath the shadow of their power.
He closed his eyes and tried to look deep into his soul, but he couldn't. That was a part of his draconic power; now that he doesn't have it, he is left with what a normal human could do. Except, now Shi can influence his body the same way Doma does, but far weaker.
