Back in the material world, in the underground storage unit of The Cage, the space suddenly tore open and Adam's soul body shot out of it, carrying with him a black staff.
As the portal to the Spirit World mended itself back, Adam's soul body and physical body merged together, becoming one.
The raven-haired youth slowly opened his eyes, looking around in silent scrutiny. Everything seemed to be fine in the storage unit, nothing was out of place.
His gaze was drawn towards the chubby gray cat guarding the entrance of the room, his lips curling up into a warm smile.
"Val," he called out gently.
"Mm..." The young dragon opened his groggy eyes, yawning intensely. He turned towards Adam and spoke in slight surprise, "Oh, Brother, you are back."
"How long has it been?" The youth asked.
The furry gray cat got on all fours and then stretched his body for a few moments before answering, "I think about a little less than three weeks."
