Blithe took the being's hand firmly. In return, it clasped her hand tightly and shook. The world began to shake. It rattled as it seemed to fall apart. The surrounding trees fell and the sky shattered. The pale head of the entity began to twitch, the place where it's mouth should have been stretched and tore, pulling apart to reveal a manacle smile. Bellowing from it's throat was a frighteningly loud and deep laugh. It ascended into a cackle and echoed throughout the thoughts of Blithe as the dream around them fell into oblivion. A painful energy surged into the student, filling her with power for several seconds before dissipating into a numb tingle that faded slowly. The pendant that was once in her sleeping hands now rested snugly around her neck. Not visible to her, a thin circle of black appeared around the iris of her eye. In her mind, there was something there. Something that now made it's home in her thoughts. A name that, if called upon, would summon the entity from her dreams.
