After concluding my discussion with Sigor, I headed outside toward the magnificent Tower of Helios.
I had changed into loose, comfortable garments better suited for rigorous physical exertion, carrying nothing with me save for Hyperion in my hand. I entered the towering structure and began the climb up the endless spiral of ancient stone stairs. Finally, I reached the open-air summit, where the grand, burning flame roared, a fire so intensely hot it could instantly incinerate anyone foolish enough to step too close.
I purposefully chose to swing Hyperion right in front of it. It was the perfect spot.
Stripping off my shirt to bear the stifling heat, I stood topless before the blazing inferno. The Amber Heart Necklace resting against my bare chest pulsed with a warm light, seemingly resonating with the powerful Flame roaring just beside it.
I merely smiled at the sensation and threw myself into my diligent training.
