Rowan's body lay on a beach, in a world of death. Around his still form, an ephemeral storm rages, while an eye blacker than night watches in fury. Suddenly, his body twitched, his hand slapping the ground repeatedly, and then he began convulsing. The shell on his body began to quickly dissipate as multiple invisible mouths consumed it, and numerous bulges appeared underneath his skin, as if countless roaches roamed beneath.

He gave Maeve strict instructions that he was not to be disturbed in the next hour, by his estimation, that was all he needed to collect enough Soul points from that world.
