"Maybe I really imagined it."
She released a breath she had not realized she was holding.
Rebirth was already difficult enough to explain. She did not need to start imagining mysterious birds inside ordinary rocks.
Weiwei reached for her sketchbook and opened the page containing the pendant design.
She had already changed the design from cufflinks to a pendant, but several details still needed improvement.
The dragon would coil around the central stone, with its head raised and its eyes looking ahead. The finished pendant had to be elegant enough for Mo Shian to wear with both suits and casual clothes.
It could not be too large or flamboyant.
Weiwei placed the stone next to the sketch and began adjusting the dimensions.
As she drew, the golden and red veins seemed to shift beneath the stone's surface.
Weiwei stopped and looked up.
Everything was normal.
She continued drawing.
A few minutes later, she felt warmth against the back of her hand.
She looked down.
