There was a loud pop and a crackle as a black orb struggled to materialize. With a whimper it disappeared, and with a sharp inhalation of air it began forming again. Eridanus sat on his bed cross-legged, his palm out as he stared daggers at the air on top of his palms. He had never quite gotten used to the idea of Voiding, and even back in the University he had lagged behind the rest of his cohort quite tragically.
His face was almost purple as he held his breath, staring daggers at the space on top of his palms as he forced the portal to nothingness to appear. Ironically, the portal led to nothing yet it required so much more than nothing to summon. With a final grunt as he exhaled, the portal appeared again, flickering intermittently before it disappeared with a soft crack.
The vantha sighed, looking at the empty space on top of his palms. What was his trying to do? What good would voiding do besides being a cosmic dumping ground? Does voiding even serve his purposes?
Knowledge. You want knowledge.
What would knowledge do then? Seeking knowledge for the sake of knowledge was pointless, it had no real goal. What did he want to end up with?
Knowledge for a purpose.
What purpose would it be?
You want to protect.
