To become one

'So this is what Reynold meant by 'devouring' the gate.'

Taking in the cold feeling spreading inside his soul, Kairen couldn't help but wonder about the definition that Reynold used.

The gate's energy had found its way to Kairen's soul, creeping inside it like a silent snake. Kairen wasn't sure if he was doing it right or wrong, but he knew that he finally had the opportunity to pull the gate down. It wasn't something that he learned, nor a thing that needed him to think much to find out. It was more like an instinct, a wisdom that came with the power he had. He knew that if he tried just a little bit, he'd be able to suck up all the energy inside the gate through the connection they had to each other. 

"Kairen? Can you hear me? Severe the connection right now if it's burdening your body!"

Reynold's voice sounded slightly worried this time. Without opening his eyes, Kairen shook his head from side to side, indicating no problems.
