Idrisi Captured

The machine roared into action just as usual, there were no anomalies as it pressed down on the wisp of Ed. The radiant white ink seeped into the wisp of Ed without even a semblance of an issue.

By the time the machine finished stamping down on the-wisp, Ed hadn't even finished observing. The process was too seamless.

'Looks like the branding process doesn't slow or speed up' At the very least it didn't speed up or slow down when being passed onto parts of himself.

Ed looked at the branding machine and inspected every inch of it, there were no anomalies.

'No, wait… There is no more ink!' Ed was shocked by the discovery but thinking about it again... The ink did seep into the wisp of Ed. As opposed to simply imprinting, or branding, itself onto the surface of the wisp like the other inks would.
