nature
Perhaps it is the home
Perhaps the destination
Perhaps both.
Can you push past the constraints you have inherited?
Can you seek to understand that which scares you? That which you hate? That which angers you?
Truth and Time, is this the prin...
Joha and Isaac appeared almost instantly, standing a few feet away. Zindel was beyond intrigued to see the stone of spectrum though he wore the most innocent smile possible.
The young man stood tall and proud alongside Zindel graceful mentor, though the look in their eyes was impossible to discern. It was as if they were... expressionless but in deep wonder. One that couldn't be seen and only sensed.
Joha opened her palms and the sphere shot up, its light blinding everything other than the gaze of the shadows and the lights of space. It remain still amidst the four but its radiation compelled Zindel to approach it. The same expression - an empty expression - was held in everyone's eyes, their Sigor, their being's quintessencebeing recognised by the sphere. A profound aura filled the atmosphere, one that could never be known. Only one thing.

"We must conceal the sphere immediately."
Isaac was the first to break out of the trance. The others let their eyes remain on the sphere, subconsciously deciding on their next move.
Zindel closed his eyes as he understood the sphere's composition and timeline. It held a profound aura and Zindel didn't spend too much time with it, giving the future a glance.
"Brier, the sphere becomes a stone over the course of three years. One day Vlad will need this stone both for himself, and to be defeated. But for now we must keep it out of his reach."
Brier nodded, falling in deep contemplation. Meanwhile Joha looked around with caution before finally facing Zindel.
"Go with Brier to the fey tower. It is protected by the spirit of the land. The Demon Lord gave up her vessel and remains locked in time, but because of her sacrifice and power Vlad cannot reach the tower. There are also other entities that will withhold Vlad from entering it.
"Isaac and I will delay the entity if it comes. Do not worry about us."
Zindel and Brier nodded, though the latter hesitated. Even Zindel's gaze was wary but he gestured for Brier to follow him. They had to be courageous.
The two approached a tall, metallic structure, its composition a unique mix of particles. It was not of an element known to earthlings but Zindel was quite familiar with it.
"This is like the carbon of metals though it's unique in an odd sense; the particles are so versatile that if enough zeal is supplied to it, the electrons of the atom jump out of their energy shells, that is the photons are emitted from the electrons in their elated state. As a result bright light would surround the tower, but more importantly the metal changes to carbon."
Brier widened her eyes in disbelief. After a moment of silence Brier chuckled, moving walking towards the heavily marked door.
"Oh, Zindel. You and your curiosity."
Zindel muttered a friend's name with pride before they made their way into the Fey Tower.
"Such a chaotic aura, as if signifying the disorder before death. And yet the mysterious sensation gives the place such an air of grandeur, as if..."
