Taranis and I spend the day in the Spires of Ahava unraveling the rift that is easting the gauntlet. Can't help but admire the amount of effort and craftsmanship that went into this thing. It's a shame to unmake such a thing. We briefly look into seeing if we can re-purpose the rift. We think we can but then we realize that Donovan could probably just as easy re-re-purpose it back. It will take a lot more effort to rebuild the rift so we have to destroy it. So as the day ends (hard to tell these days) we channel the full power of the nexus into our spell and unravel the last thread of the rift. It explodes quite violently. Good thing we left it in orbit or that would have left a mark. We notice the rift left a residue of something that was somewhat visible to the naked eye. Taranis zooms in on it and realizes its a large cloud of essence. No need to let all this power go to waste. I lock onto the cloud and Taranis uses that link to siphon the essence down. We feed it into the now depleted nexus and it charges up to about 15%.
Start getting funny looks from the Uratha who were drawn to the large mass of essence. Those funny looks started turning into hungry looks. Channeling all that essence has turned me into an essence popsicle. Then that special section of my consciousness starts drawing up ideas and reminding me there are some attractive wolves around. I quickly head to the farady cage so the smart part of my consciousness can remind me that i'm a one wolf meatsicle.
