With a wrenching feeling and a pop I found myself moving at an incredible speed with a great pressure on me that made me feel uneasy as it increased the farther I went I tried to sense my surroundings all I got back was the fact that there were other souls around me moving in the same direction I was the pressure was mounting and the other souls in front of me were starting to lose their spirit as the force abruptly stopped pushing against them and started pulling away there spirit some seemed to take longer to lose their spirit others lost it near instantly as I reached that mysterious boundary that denoted where the switch occurred I began to feel it as well my spirit started to slowly get tugged away the outer boundary came apart in clumps it seemed like what ever this force was though wasn't directly trying to move the mana though so I expanded the web like structure on the inner layer and with all the mana left from the outer layer started to push the layers together it didn't seem to help as whatever force was pulling on my spirit I realized wasn't really pulling from the outside but from every speck of space that my spirit occupied i started to lose hope as my effort didn't seemed to be helping but then I noticed that spirit and mana were starting to blend together in the areas where I was trying to further compress it I immediately tried to perform this every where I could it was only then that the pulling seemed to become less effective but it was still increasing as I traveled further soon eventually I would break. Speaking of those who broke seemed to be diverted in a different direction interestingly I have stopped moving it seems that I've been halted at the edge of the stream where the souls are travelling down. Luckily it seems the tugging on my spirit isn't increasing I take a few moments to take stock of myself as usual it seems that keeping off the tugging is costing me mana but it seems to be such a small portion as to be inconsequential i begin experimenting it seems I am cable of moving my using parts of the barrier to tug myself closer to other souls but when ever I try to follow those that have been broken I encounter a barrier of somekind that despite many attempts I am unable to break or pass through to my new senses it seems to radiate a great magesty and power. It seems all I can do is wait for something to happen and then it happens a tube extends from the barrier and begins to move farther down the line towards what I can only assume is earth I immediately enter the tube and once again try to pass through the barrier but I'm pushed back it seems whatever this tube is reaching for its something specific a litt While later the tube begins to pull me towards the barrier where I'm again rebuffed then a few dozen souls come by there odd they seem to have a small layer of this barrier going across there front as well as some strange symbols on there souls logically speaking if this tube is indeed here to collect souls then these must be able to break through so I move behind one and follow once it's coating of energy comes in contact with the barrier that part of the barrier disappears I press myself up against its spirit worried that the barrier would reappear to quickly as the last bit of myself passes through the barrier reappears I am continually sucked along the tube which seems to be taking us away from the standered soul stream after a while a new soulstream comes into view i say this quite a bit more confidently then when I first named it because now if I focused I could see the stream itself it seemed to be made up of all sorts of things from mana to spirit to a few things that I didn't even have a name for any way it seems to go in a continuous loop with rivulets coming off of it in various directions on one side and thickens out on the other we start heading for the thicker part and I yank myself away from the souls I had been following I as it seemed that they were heading for there each individual vortex of energy the same energy that composed the barrier and the same one I wanted no part in so I move slightly away you see my theory was that this loop was something like the cycle of reincarnation and the rivulets were the different afterlife's I was a bit unsure of this as this would mean this place had over a dozen afterlife's but if my theory was correct then this side would be where all the bodies were once I got closer I noticed small vortexes of energy which would close either a little bit of time had passed or when a soul passed by I began moving towards one of the larger vortexes that I assume represented people as there were fewer of them and it would make sense that a person would require a larger soul then say a ant so I entered and poof I was gone from the soul stream.
