In the underworld, four deities surrounded an unchained Esong who was laying on a bed, sleeping. If Scarlet could see him now, she would hardly recognize him. His hair had grown out so long that it almost fell to his feet now. He had grown a thick beard which covered most of his face. His body had grown bigger and he was taller. There were more tattoos on his body than before. He was the same man, but also not the same man.
A spirit monkey was trimming his nails while another washed his body with a liquid that was too white to be water.
The old deity waved a hand over Esong's body and then he turned to Wisdom and asked. "When is he going to open his eyes? You said that it worked but he has been sleeping like this for two weeks."
"The soul needs to stabilize." Wisdom told the old deity.
