This is really incredible!
Ethan's gaze sharpened as he carefully examined the ancient phoenix skeleton lying in the cave's dim light.
His eyes caught sight of a groove deeply carved into the chest cavity of the massive bones. Intrigued, he stepped closer for a better look.
Cradled within the groove rested an enormous egg, nearly the size of a human head.
Its surface gleamed with a polished luster, marked by vivid red lines tracing intricate patterns that pulsed faintly with a hidden energy.
Ethan's breath caught as he noticed fresh bright red blood pooling within the groove, its golden light rippling and flowing in the crimson tide.
The power radiating from that blood was staggering.
With steady hands, Ethan extended his palm and placed it on the egg's warm surface. The heat was intense, not burning but brimming with raw vitality.
