Jared felt the chill as Emily embraced her power. She always said she had to embrace it and that just felt weird to him. For him it was more akin to wrestling a demon cobra to the ground. It was also weird that he could feel it when she channeled, but not the the other way around. Strange rules.
He could feel her threads though. He could feel her probing and trying to find his source of power. The probes themselves were harmless, but he could feel them nonetheless. Emily tried a couple of things and they didn’t work. Then suggested he try.
Jared began to probe as well, trying to find the source of her power and seize it. But there was nothing. He could sense nothing.
”Nothing…” he told her. Maybe he was wrong and this wasn’t possible, but it was too early to give up.
Emily bit her bottom lip in thought. She didn’t want to give up yet either. ”If only we knew where to look or what to look for…”
Jared thought for a moment and then remembered the scans of Nox’s brain. The “hole” had been there. ”Right here,” he said, pointing to his head. ”Thats where the horde was in Nox. And when I delved, that’s where the hole was.
Emily nodded in understanding. ”I felt something when I tried to draw the power through you. I’m not sure that’s the right terminology or not - but it’s what it feels like. I’ll try from there again.”
