Heart of Molten Fire,
Lis felt a slight excitement in his heart as he sensed the still slightly warm silver ring in his hand.
Now, this silver ring lay quietly in Lis's palm, resembling a secret treasure fished out from the depths of the starry river.
It wasn't that glaring bright silver, but carried the misty texture of years, as if it had been caressed repeatedly by moonlight over a millennium.
The surface of the ring was engraved with spiral patterns that, when illuminated, refracted brilliant rainbows, as if the light imprisoned within the metal was awakening.
If you look closely, you'll find those spiral patterns are actually a mesh of countless miniature runes, with some corners still retaining traces of dark gold inlays.
Honestly, before attempting to enter the magma pool at the core of the Heart of Molten Fire, he was prepared for finding nothing at all.
After all, Matteus was a matter from many years ago.
