"It didn't work..."
Avrie looked perplexed. The Sun had not grown bigger after they sacrificed the body. But why? She has been developing it with her blood for a while, and it has been working; so, why did it stop when they upped the game? It wasn't because they had started too early; it doesn't really matter what you feed it. They just used blood until now, since growing didn't require a lot of essence, and they didn't want to waste it.
And it wasn't broken; it had actually started to unfreeze time, only that the radius that it worked in was very small.
So then what was it?
She massaged her forehead, trying to understand what was wrong. The others were counting on her, and she didn't want to fail them. They had already done their job, which by her standard was much harder. So she didn't want to disappoint them, especially Aether.
