"Take out the crystal and put it in the pot." Judith said through gritted teeth. And Tsai, wasting no time at all, picked up the shovel and raced over to the crystal.
Picking it out of the flames — while gathering a few pieces of wood and charcoal — she raised the shovel and placed the crystal in the pot. Immediately after, a sizzling sound burst into the air, along with a plume of steam.
