Aksai placed the Aether Crystals one by one around the Heavenly Poison Pyramid.
Each crystal settled into the formation like pieces that were part of puzzle falling in their rightful place on their own. The symbols responded at once, growing clearer and sharper.
More items followed—small tools and strange materials that did not belong to this world. All of them had been prepared long ago. All of them had been sent to him by his clone, Aron, from the Aether World of Acarnis.
Aksai had basically decided to spend almost all of his noteworthy accumulation from Acarnis on this project. The other plans he had could wait. Safety always came first.
When everything was ready, Aksai finally raised his head.
His eyes were calm, but deep inside, his focus was sharp to the extreme.
"Stay still," he said quietly. "Do not resist. Not even a little."
Seralyth nodded and relaxed her soul completely.
The formation activated.
