Delaena gasped. She felt a surge of energy hit her and yanked her hands away from the ground. She stood quickly, shaking her hands and brushing them against her skirt. "Was that you?" she asked Altair, eyes wide. She felt positively buzzing! She couldn't sit still. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and bounced on the balls of her feet. "That's incredible. I've never felt so full of life!" She had to stifle an almost triumphant laugh, for fear of alerting anyone to her presence there. "But now I should go... I can't really leave my temple unattended, it's part of my job."<br/><br/>She lifted her cloak from the ground and shook off the dirt, draping it around her shoulders. "You could come with me, if you want," she suggested, a smile upturning the corners of her lips. She wasn't sure where this courage had come from. It must have been that blast of energy that was now swirling and dancing inside her, fighting to be released by any means possible. She reached out and touched Altair's arm with a fingertip. It still astonished her that he had that kind of power. "If you don't want to... Well, I hope I feel you soon." She didn't wait for an answer, she couldn't. She had to move.<br/><br/>The priestess pulled her dark hair out from where it had been tucked into her cloak and turned away from the crash site, facing the woods again. She headed back into the trees, feeling the whole planet, more than she ever had before. It was like she'd taken some sort of drug. Everything seemed brighter. When she reached to feel the bark of a tree, she could feel every grain of wood. She touched the fabric of her dress and felt the silky material slide under her touch. All the way back to the temple she had to stop and just touch things, smell them, taste from the river.
