  Finding it proved easier than expected.

  Suddenly Cole was connected.

  “So much darkness, Owandell,” Cole said. “Should I brighten it up?”

  Mustering all his will, Cole burned away the darkness, untangling the knots and healing the scars. Dropping to his knees, Owandell screamed like he was on fire.

  When Cole finished, not much power remained within his foe. But it was untainted.
