"[Your soulcore status]"
Wind howled through the abyss—cold, hollow, endless. Ash stood in the dark, surrounded by nothing but black waves churning beneath his feet.
The ocean wasn't calm.
It roared and twisted like it wanted to tear itself apart.
Ash's eyes moved upward.
One of the Soulcores hanging in the void—the fire one—was cracked. Its glow had faded to a dying ember, barely holding together. Fractures spread across it like a web of veins, and as he watched, a shard broke free and fell.
It hit the ocean with a hiss. The water screamed.
Ash clenched his fists.
'This isn't right. I killed that thing. I thought it would fix the damage...'
His thoughts raced.
'Do I have to fix it myself?'
Then came the voice, distant and cold:

Ash barely glanced at it.
