The pink oddity and the chilling darkness try to distract you as you reach for the shards of floating crystal. The shards flash and glow with swirling energy in response to your touch. You feel some of your pain disappear with the freezing darkness.

The darkness emits a loud hissing noise, sending shivers down your insides. The pink grows more energetic and annoying to you as it whizzes repeatedly into your face. You understand that these routes will forever be lost to you. Time will tell if you had made the correct choice.

More shattering pierces your ears as the darkness finally parts.

You lose consciousness once more.
___________________________________________________
You finally awaken, still groggy as though you were trapped in a deep slumber or coma. You feel slightly hot, almost as though you were underneath bright sunlight. Barely opening your eyes, you make out an expansive, sweltering desert with a blurry gray sky.

That's odd, you're very sure that this is no place for any couple or newborn to reside in without shelter. Did that old man mention anything about this?, you wonder. It certainly would have been nice of him or his sister to warn you in advance, unless-

It takes you a few brief moments to realize that something is very wrong with your situation here.

Examine all of our self. Examine our surroundings. Examine our memories. Examine the energy within us. Examine the energy around us. Examine the skies. Examine our grogginess.

Examine ALL the things! +1

I wonder what THIS soul trial is supposed to be... Unless we're not a soul anymore, which wouldn't make sense because we still remember what happened back there, unless that's a side effect of choosing the crystals (which apparently gave us memory-analyzing powers).

Attempt to distil nature of grogginess and use new awareness to spontaneously generate grog.

[Roll=18+2=20!, 9+2=11, 13+2=15, 4+2=6, 11+2=13, 3+2=5, 19+2=21!]
You examine your body, and see that you are in fact, still a spirit. You don't have any "wounds" or markings from your strange time falling through the terrible darkness, save the fact that your body now has an Inner Crystal. It is jagged in appearance and stores a small amount of Pure Energy, but probably has other effects that you do not notice. You guess that this Inner Crystal is the merged form of the shards you had grabbed earlier.

Taking a look at your surroundings, you see a dry and desolate desert or wasteland that stretches on for miles and miles. You think you can smell something burning, somewhere. You get the peculiar feeling that you aren't supposed to be here..

As far as you can tell, all of your memories are intact. Your time in the Well of Souls, as well as your time in that strange abyss still remain rooted firmly in your head. Nothing appears to have been added or removed.

The energy within you is all Pure, including the added energy from your Inner Crystal. You have the most unusual urge to manifest your energy, somehow...

The ambient energy around you is a strange cesspool of differing types. The most apparent and powerful one feels red, angry, and fiery, and actually reminds you of the old man you met. The other smaller energies smudge your senses, and are very hard to detect due to how little there is of them.

You look up at the sky and it is as gray and foggy as you had seen it earlier. Er, what were you examining in the skies again?

You inspect your current grogginess and come to the conclusion that it is the result of whatever teleporting ordeal you had gone through. Seeing as you are currently not a newborn infant, and in strange surroundings, you can only guess that the grogginess is the result of something going horribly wrong during the gate procedure. Your memories of hearing something shatter only add to your suspicion.

Try heading towards source of burning smell

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

+1. Also +1 for finding the source of the smell, but if any lifeforms are seen, stay back and examine them first.

Weak Memory Imprint to figure out how we got here. Its probably a good idea to do that, if only to burn off the excess energy we have. Having too much might be dangerous.

WEAK MEMORY IMPRINT GOOOOO.
You feel something flourish from within yourself; it is a resonating feeling of longing, a desire to discover and understand.
[8-2(No idea what you're doing)+2(Inquisitive)+3(It calls you...)=11]
You feel your crystal begin to hum, as though in reaction to your own desires, or perhaps as a warning to the blinding bright light it emits only seconds later.

Spoiler: The Memory (click to show/hide)

Well, that certainly wasn't what you had in mind when letting your crystal act for you. That vision was like a foggy dream- a confusing mess of colors, with barely any details. If anything, it generated more questions than answers. Who was the owner of that memory? Why was he and his daughter escaping from a cult? What was this strange cult in the first place?

Perhaps you simply need more practice. Now that you know how to use such an ability, perhaps you can experiment more.
Yes, you are sure experimentation is the only way to discover what other uses your newfound crystal grants you.

What shall you do next?
