source.- Darius spoke quietly, calmly and slowly.- Not as usual, not completely. Do not dive into deep water, just immerse your face.- A long pause was broken only by the dragon's steady breathing.- Good, now slowly try to immerse yourself while focusing on my voice. Slowly immerse yourself while listening to my voice, and when you succeed, interrupt me.- The master began to slowly repeat the last sentence like a mantra.
Draco tried to focus on the words and the presence of his mentor. Breathing deeply, he began to explore the sensations coming to him from all around. Just like in the old orphanage. And just as slowly, he explored everything that was getting closer and closer to him. Finally, he reached his own body and, following a familiar path, listened to its rhythm and functioning. Moments passed, and the master's voice seemed muffled but still clear. The dragon finally took another step towards its source. He wanted to do it slowly and deliberately, but suddenly he was simply standing in the darkness, surrounded by a luminous sphere. In the lingering silence, the only sound was something like the soft rubbing of silk against itself and a deep, steady breathing that seemed to come from everywhere. Draco strained with all his might, but he could not hear his master. With resignation, he looked around. Nothing caught his attention, so he decided to try again. He emerged from the source. Darius continued to repeat one sentence calmly. The dragon took a deeper breath and began to repeat the steps. When he wanted to just gently touch his source, he immediately sank into it again. Somewhat frustrated, he repeated the whole thing a few more times, but to no avail. Finally, he gave up.
-Master, I can't do it.- Draco opened his eyes and looked at the mage sitting opposite him.- I sink immediately. As soon as I touch the source, I end up at the bottom.
-Calm down.- Bleist cleared his throat.- I would be very surprised if you succeeded on your first try.- He smiled.- Staying partially on the surface
