As you looked around and floated around you realized some of the unwritten aspects about the powerful Phoenix Spell along with the disadvantages of being a bodiless entity, a sort of ethereal ghost floating through what seemed to be a typical forest. There were no humans around, or any sentient entities you wished to "reincarnate" in if you happened to find a soulless living body here. 

While you explored slowly you realized a couple of things. First of all, how you could tell you couldn't stay in this form forever, with parts of your ethereal being slowly disintegrating and with you feeling that sort of vital energy being sapped away from you. Second, how you were by all means a ghost: invisible, inaudible, capable of moving through the trees, but boy you were a weak one, unable to lift yourself above the trees in order to get a better view at whatever was out there beyond this forest and unable to move beyond your average speed as an human unaided by spells, which wasn't great to start off.

Finally, you realized that maybe you didn't need a soulless body to take over, what if you were just able to overpower the soul of a sentient being in order to take control of their body? It would probably delay your ability to summon your Lexicon, but at least it would provide you a way out from what seemed to be mission impossible. You were well aware that most soulless bodies you would find out there could only be described as useless rotting corpses, and with time slowly running out for your ghostly form you would just have to consider this possibility.. maybe you would even have to try it with one of the animals around you just to preserve your existence.

You were growing frustrated as the path lying ahead only revealed more forest, just where were you? if only you had a sign you could be able to make a better plan. Were you close to a city or village? on an island? on a planet still on its early stages of evolution? you just kept going until finally you found something you were able to recognize.

Where are you?
