Plus, the doors were locked.

As they kept walking and chanting, Avalon took Genesis’ hand, and Lucian did the same. The three of them sat in a circle within the circle.

“Here we go,” Lucian said, feeling the tugs of the static as his door opened, leading him in.

It felt weird going in without Ridge at his side, but he pushed that away, knowing there was nothing he could do about it.

I’m going to watch for him. Be on guard, Lucian.

He heard her in his mind.

I will be.

Focusing on Genesis, he helped her.

“Don’t fight the sensation of sinking,” he said, helping Genesis learn how to do this.

She listened and did what he said.

Meanwhile, Avalon was in her head and helped her get into the static. She was opening the doors to give her access to that part of her mind.

And there was no pushback.

It was easy.

For the first time, Genesis did it well.

As they made it, they were in a meadow of flowers. The three of them landed in the soft flowers, feeling them under their feet.

“Oh, it’s pretty,” Genesis said, looking around at the vivid colors.

Silently, Avalon taught her how to manipulate it. As she did, Genesis was learning quickly. With nothing to fear, she was open to the experience.

“This is my mind. This is where I go to help people. I like nature, and being out in it. It’s full of colors because out in the world, I can’t see. I like to surround myself with it. Your place will look what you want it to look like.”

She sounded surprised.

“Really?”

Avalon’s laughter filled the space, and it offered comfort, warmth, and gentleness.

Genesis wasn’t afraid.

“And we’re still sitting in the circle?” she asked.

Avalon used her strength to flicker them between here and there, showing Genesis that reality, and this safe space.

Genesis took it all in.

She could see herself sitting in the building with them, and then it jumped back to this one.

“Wow. That’s kind of cool. It’s like toggling between documents on a computer.”

That it was.

Truthfully, Avalon was glad that she was enjoying it.

“Lucian’s space is a big bedroom in a stone-walled castle. He thinks of himself as the beast, and that’s what he manifested. His trip into the static is uniquely his. We all find a way to manifest our power in different ways.”
