Shattered chalice? Twisted kingdom? The abyss that was the source of her power...
Minoru suddenly found himself thinking about the World Between Worlds, the place between lives where the chakra inside the dying rejoins the universe and the energy of the universe goes into those being born. He'd been there, briefly. He'd seen, firsthand, the immortal circle which was life, death and rebirth. And he'd broken it.
He was younger then, more impulsive and more emotional. He did what he felt was right and paid the price. He'd made penance to the universe, but the memories surrounding those experiences still haunted him from time to time.
The snake seemed to sense Minoru's pain, because it turned to him, flicking its tongue. The snake sage tried to focus instead on the lesson at hand.
"What's a shattered chalice?" He asked, a bit unsure if he wanted to know.
