Igaris quickly walked to the room where Founder Jian and Ren were staying.
Inside, he saw Ren meditating with his eyes shut, while the old man sat beside him with a furrowed brow, one hand resting on Ren's head.
A tense silence hung in the air.
"My Lord, you're here. Please, come quickly. This boy needs your help," Jian said in a hurried voice.
Igaris stepped forward and asked, "What is wrong? How can I help?"
"Lord, this boy truly has something frightening sleeping inside him, but I cannot awaken it with my meager energy. Please, lend me yours," Jian said sincerely.
Igaris nodded, then activated the Architect's Eyes to peer into Ren's being.
He saw it. A vast emptiness within Ren, something like a dried-up lake that devoured energy without end.
"Yes. I see it now."
Jian looked relieved. "Now please, press your hands on my shoulders and channel your raw Qi into me. I will guide it perfectly into the boy."
"Alright," Igaris said calmly as he moved behind the old man.
