Activating The Formation

Brax got in his car and started his drive home. He called Jenna on his way to tell her about everything that happened. He didn't have plans to meet up with her today, but they spent the rest of the afternoon on the phone.

The more he talked to Jenna instead of Silent Night, the easier it was for them to have a conversation in real life. Sometimes they ended up talking about nothing at all but he still enjoyed every moment of it.

Lucan gathered several guards to help him with the final piece of the formation. In the central courtyard, behind the command room, Lucan placed the mithril dragon skull, along with its scales, bones, and heart. Inside the dragon's ribcage rested one of the largest mana crystals he had left as well as several pieces of raw mithril that were previously launched from its mouth.
