Jared hesitated for a moment, then reached out with his right hand anyway.
Gwendolyn took his wrist, pressed her thumb against his pulse, and closed her eyes slightly as she examined it for a few quiet moments. Then she lightly pricked Jared's fingertip with the silver needle.
The needle was so fine that, the instant it went in, there was almost no pain at all. But the moment the tip touched the blood vessel in his fingertip, Jared's whole body gave a sudden jolt.
A strange force poured in through the needle's tip and rushed upstream through his bloodline, like an invisible eye sweeping across his meridians, his spirit well, even every inch of flesh on his body. The sensation was strange. It was like being seen clean through from the inside out, with nothing left hidden.
"Don't move," Gwendolyn said softly, her eyes fixed on the silver needle.
