Instead, he focused all his strength on giving it a flow, a direction, a path through his body and mind. The Hateful Essence was ready to morph into those ghastly hands that would grip the scarlet dragon from within, but under Cain's control and guidance, they began to revolve around his body, forming a spiral.
