Ela stood up and stepped back to join Lucas, who was standing by. The dragon eye, wrapped in the array paper, sat quietly on the table.
After a moment, an orange glow began to emanate from the paper, its light flickering with a life of its own.
Then, the paper caught fire from the inside out, burning rapidly until it was gone, leaving no ashes behind.
The dragon eye was revealed.
It was still as large as before, with the array's runes and lines inscribed on the sclera, excluding the pupil.
Fiery lines flowed along the runes and symbols. The once-squinted pupil, due to the dragon's death, now opened, and the golden eye blazed with orange flames dancing like those in a furnace.
It was complete!
The rekindled Dragon's Eye was the main component for Lucas's secret art [Visio Universalis].
However, the Dragon's Eye had a time limit and all the mystical rituals needed to be completed before the end of the storm.
