as inspiration.

Write a scene, 300 words or less, that describes something intangible (like the soul-meld in the first quote) in a tangible way. Use words and descriptions that help us visualize an event that would otherwise be impossible to understand because it can't, and never has, actually happened.

Any questions?

Rythal came out of an entry way, his grey cloak snagging on some of the trees which hid the entrance to a cave. He smiled, having obtained a final ingredient for a needed spell by the guild. Rythal needed a way to get to Azuria and fast. But he was deep within the Forest of Kragal. He sighed, knowing he was going to have to waste his well earned magic crystals to be able to reach it in time before the eclipse. He pulled from a purple satchel a pinch of cerulean crystals each like a grain of sand and closed the sack using its yellow string.

Rythal raised his hand in front of him. With palm up, the crystals caught stray beams of light from the filtering boughs above. He closed his eyes and began to murmur the secret incantation taught to him through the guild. Though he couldn’t see it, he knew that the crystals began to glow pure white, brighter than the escaping light above.

As his voice trailed off the lights within his hand began to swirl about his body, increasing in particles and light. Rythal’s body became a part of the swirling mass of lights of different colors, swirling about an unknown origin. The cloud began to rise into the sky and sped though the air towards its destination.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do, no one tells me anything anymore. They just stuck me in the corner and told me to wait. Wait for what? All they've done is chant and make weird gestures at the air. And they are all naked! Scandalous! I just need to talk to the old man, so come on, let’s hurry up!

Dammit, would they just get this over with? I'm tired of standing here. Oh wait, here we go. Why does the ugly one have to come get me?

Hey, what are you doing? That's my arm you are twisting, you hag! Goddamn bitches, no respect for anyone. I'm a hero! The Liberator of Margant! You can't treat me like this!

What are you doing? I wanted General Danich to be summoned, that was all! By Thero's balls, I don't need to be in that cage to talk to him! Isn't HE supposed to be in the cage? Whoa, wait here, can we discuss this for a moment? Please? Pretty please?

Who are you? Why are you in my head? General Danich? I want to talk to Marna. Wait, I don't want to go there! No, you can't do this to me! It’s my body! I won't leave, I won't go to hell!

The Sisters watched the man's expression subtly changing, hardening into the set frown of the ancient hero Danich. The first summoning had been immensely successful. Only three more to go.

"Welcome sir. We have been waiting for you."

"Where is she?"
