"You did great," she murmured. Shane pulled away from Kori to look at her in the eyes.
"I wouldn't have been able to do it without you," he said, stroking the side of her face. He liked the feel of a living human's skin. It was warm, unlike his.
"I'll miss you. . ." Kori murmured. Shane felt his chest tighten at the thought of leaving Kori on her own. He had spent countless nights curled up next to her as a wolf, and he would miss that.
"Shane!" Leo called. Shane let go of Kori reluctantly. He walked towards the Spirit World leader and bowed.
"Shane, you have shown great skill for someone who has such a disability. You have earned a spot in the Well of Souls," Leo said. Shane nodded slowly. He had spent his entire spirit life trying to earn a spot in the Well of souls, but since he had met Kori and Zephyr, he felt like he didn't want to go.
"May I make one request?" Shane asked. Leo nodded. Shane stood up and called Jack. The ex-murderer appeared.
"Yes?" he asked.
"I want you to take care of Kori for me," Shane said. Jack smiled, and nodded. Shane gave one last smile to Kori, then shifted into his wolf form. Leo held up the talisman and it opened slowly. A bright green light shot out and hit Shane in the eyes and mouth. Shane's green, translucent body began to disappear. Then, he was gone.
Shane entering the Well of Souls. I won't tell you how he earned it. I'm keeping it a secret
