Jude approached the pedestal cautiously. "This must be another artifact, one that perhaps holds answers or even greater power. We need to be careful."
Nefertari examined the carvings around the pedestal. "These inscriptions describe a ritual, a ceremony performed by the island's original inhabitants. It seems they used this orb in conjunction with the Eye of the Storm to maintain balance and protect the island from the dark force."
Dr. Hargrove's eyes lit up with understanding. "If we can learn how to use this orb properly, it could enhance our defenses and give us new ways to channel the island's energies."
Ethan, always the skeptic, asked, "But what if this orb also has a darker side? We need to ensure it's safe to use before we bring it back to the village."
