The village chief's doubt

"Mi...," he started, as if he wanted to scold the man for his sudden outburst. However, his eyes were drawn to the six milky-coloured crystallized stars that sat gently within the black crystal, and he quickly shut his mouth, turning to me instead. "Stretch out your hand again and repeat the process," he ordered.

I nodded my head with understanding and reached out towards the black crystal once more. The strange energy flowed into me once again, and I watched with rapt attention as the six stars scattered into a burst of light particles that spread all over, causing the black crystal to shine with a brilliant light. As the light dimmed once more, I removed my hand and observed as the lights compressed again, forming six small crystallized stars just like before.
