With Godfrey's performance out of the way, Linus looked over at Lyrian for a split second.
"You can go first," Lyrian quickly spoke. He didn't know whether Linus was going to speak, but he didn't want to risk it. Although he cared more about eating food right now, Lyrian was still interested in the hidden prize. He wanted as big a shot as he could get in winning this little contest.
Linus didn't say anything, simply turning his gaze forward as he stepped up.
As Linus moved to the center of the stage, a hush fell over the audience. He stood there for a moment, seemingly collecting his thoughts. Then, without any flashy gestures or dramatic movements, Linus began to channel his magic.
A soft, gentle light surrounded him, casting a warm glow that gradually intensified. It seemed as if he were creating a sphere of radiance, and the light continued to grow brighter until it was almost blinding.
