The tendrils shuddered against her command, but the movement slowed as she pitted her will against that of her darker side, but she couldn't hold the balance much longer. She had made a serious mistake.

Back on the life plane, Valdis was shivering, her usually warm skin was growing cold and she was paler than normal.
