“Now your turn.” A secret part of me jumped at the chance to experience letting my essence go free but a larger part remembered the pain the Prognatum soul had given me. “You saw what the soul did to her,” Hannah said. “That’s not proof enough that she needs to be transformed?” Abidan ignored her. “There’s no harm in trying.” I disagreed. That pain had been intense. “She’s right.” I hated that I agreed with her. “How am I supposed to take the soul if I can’t even touch it?” “You won’t touch it. Your Rodas nature will take over. Your human body is a barrier. You need to break through it. You’ve already experienced your true nature, now you need to embrace it.” I wondered if I had mistaken his passion for persistence. I understood that he thought this would work since I already had accessed my essence but there was a reason a Prognatum had to undergo the transformation. He or she had to properly accept the Caeleste side at the right time. Who knew what forcing it would do to my body?
