"Is this it?" Jay said, slowly walking toward the Heartforge. The crystal radiated brilliance, with light trails coming towards it. It was still fed by the crest of the people above. It made him sick; he wanted to just destroy it.
But as he was about to do that, he saw Aether pass by him. Signaling him to stop. He stopped at one of the statues, touching it with his palm. He didn't quite understand what he was trying to say. But, while his gaze fell back on the Heartforge, the statue flicked Aether's hand off. Taking back its stance.
They were alive, yet they weren't attacking them... but why? He stared back at the Heartforge. He wondered if he were to destroy it, would they start attacking them?
