Morgan stripped, and stood in the bucket, murmuring a cleansing spell. The cold water crawled up her skin, and then across the kitchen, and into the living room.

Spiritual Realm. He yelled, “Fire! Attack! Shoot!” But it did nothing. Then, he tried to plead. “Please! Protect us! I beg you.” Again, it did nothing. A cold shiver rushed down his spine.
