This was a regular icosahedral sphere of pale golden crystal, the exterior a somewhat faint translucent substance, but as the depth increased, the core gradually took on an amber-like texture.
When Ian first saw the brain marrow crystal, the first thing that came to mind were the eyes of Scott—the Ironfolk Squad Leader's eyes were roughly this shade of yellow amber, though obviously not as large as the crystal.
Now, in front of the bonfire, Ian cradled the massive crystal, pondering how he might process it to make it more convenient to carry.
The bonfire, ignited by the Brain-Eating Parasite, proved that there were plants in the vicinity of the hall, and not much different from those on the surface. The flames burned steadily, producing little smoke.
If he were an Alchemy Master, such a fire would be enough to process most materials.
Ian hadn't reached that stage; he would need some professional equipment to assist him.
