"The power of the ring is activated by your thoughts. The reality of the shield is based on the reality that you give it in your mind. The strength of the protecting field is directly related to the clarity of your imagery. You need to imagine yourself within the gem - surrounded by the purple. Once you are enclosed in purple, you will be protected.
"Now, empty your mind of all things save the thought of the purple shield. Think of nothing but the purple which is the power."
Flindra quieted her mind as best she could. This was not easy since random thoughts kept leaping through her consciousness. She tried to think of the purple by closing her eyes and pretending she was at the center of the gem looking out. The darkness behind her closed eyes gradually turned from black to purple. When she opened her eyes the purple fled from her vision.
"You are trying too hard," King Meldh whispered. "Close your eyes and listened to your breathing. Breathe slowly and relax."
Flindra closed her eyes and willed herself to relax. She felt each breath - in and out, in and out. Tension melted from her body. The purple returned to the backside of her eyelids. The color deepened as she relaxed further. Finally, she opened her eyes and the color remained.
All around her was purple. She was viewing the world through a veil of violet. Flindra smiled at the King. She was privately pleased at her success.
"Well done, Flindra!" he announced with a smile and a nod of acknowledgement. "Let the vision end. The shield will be easier to invoke and will be stronger as you practice. Rigga will be your shield but the crystal orb Kewero left for you will be your guide. If you heed it's prompting it will bring you safely to her."
"What is the orb?" she ventured to ask.
