Since the mutation of my Psion with nature energy, as long as I used Echo, nothing ever escaped my sights.
There was no barrier I could not see through, no safe or room I could not peek into.
Using Echo and still finding no one in the room struck like lightning within me. Still, understanding the precarious situation I was in, I moved on from the revelation to finding a solution.
My energy pool lowered, the sense of emptiness becoming more noticeable, but I calmed down, and closing my eyes, I felt into the domain.
Normally, I would ignore such weak, random energy signals, perhaps not even noticing them, but Vicky's defiance had changed that.
Now I knew that within my Malevolent Shrine, I was all that should exist.
For some seconds, I tracked the foreign energy, which kept on popping up in random locations, this showed an advanced level of energy control from whoever owned it.
