Valdis opened one eye when the familiar blue-ish glow of Solomon's ka began to coalesce around him. She flattened her ears, her head lifting from her paws, something must be happening. Nothing felt out of the ordinary, but that couldn't be right, his ka wouldn't have appeared like this unless something was wrong.

He didn't speak, but she could see him tense, his knuckles white, his jaw clenched, but whether it was fear, anger, or some other emotion, she didn't know. It was disconcerting to suddenly be unable to feel.

Valdis recognized the exact moment when Solomon returned to his own senses, because he relaxed somewhat, he began to breath again and his heart rate slowed.

What happened?
