As Adyr watched the stream rising from the ground, a small disappointment settled in. The islet wasn't the living creature he had hoped for; it wasn't a Spark, and the green liquid welling to the surface wasn't blood. Even so, it was a rare resource he had once seen in the market district.
Back then, it was sold in small containers, priced at about 2–3 energy worth of crystals per liter, as far as he remembered.
Judging by the liquid pooling along the wound and by the islet's overall size, Adyr estimated a subsurface reservoir of roughly 5,000–7,000 liters inside this chunk of land.
"Apart from its value, it's an underground stream. If I can adapt it to one of my own islands, I can create a completely natural wind environment."
He did not yet have a subdued Spark that required such a habitat, but as a future asset, it looked like a sound investment.
