Selene's talisman reacted strongly to the grove's energy, its glow intensifying as they approached the altar. "The artifact should be placed on the altar," she said, her eyes scanning the carvings. "We need to align it with the celestial symbols."
The team carefully positioned the artifact on the altar, aligning it with the patterns on the stone. As they did, the symbols on the altar began to glow, and the energy in the grove heightened. The bioluminescent leaves of the trees flickered and pulsed, as if in response to the activation of the altar.
Suddenly, a soft, harmonious melody filled the air, emanating from the very stones of the altar. The grove seemed to come alive with energy, and the mist began to swirl, revealing hidden pathways and structures within the forest.
"This grove is a living part of the energy network," Mara said, her eyes wide with wonder. "It's responding to the artifact and revealing hidden aspects of the network."
