“Be a part of the gem, my love. Rest in it. Trust it. It will work for you. Sleep in it. Relax into it.” Every part of Kai’s tired mind and body reached out to blend with the warmth of the amethyst crystals.

Kai stretched out both hands toward the geode and felt herself lurching forward as if falling into the table. She quickly grabbed onto the tabletop to break her fall. Then she felt Engalla’s two hands on her shoulders, steadying her as she reached out again. This time she felt herself being drawn into the crystal, her fall being controlled by some unknown force. She stared deeply into the dark purple facets and felt the crystal growing, enlarging, until it surrounded her.

Kai floated. Nothing seemed to matter.

Engalla knew that soon the hypnosis would be complete, that Kai would be all hers. She let Kai float for a few more moments.
