Alex reached into the mountain in his Soul Space, finding the Sun that lay there, through which he had come to form his Sun Spirit.
"Ray!" he called out to the bird. "I will open my Soul Space. You must push this sun through it right now."
"Master?" Ray was surprised at the sudden command. As soon as he took in the words, he let out a panicked cry. "That's too dangerous. The Sun is too strong. It will burn you on the way out."
"I'm willing to take the heat," Alex said.
"But… I can't control it on the outside. If you send it out, it will collapse and destroy the place around you. It is far too dangerous."
"That's fine," Alex said. "In fact, I'm counting on it. Now do it."
Ray had more reservations, but the urgency in Alex's voice forced him to act. Instantly, he felt the Soul Space opening to the outer world a short distance away and pushed the sun toward it.
