Unseal

The next morning, Vell woke up before anyone else. The energy from the core still buzzed inside him. He quietly walked to the edge of their camp and held out his hand.

"Let's see what this can really do," he whispered.

He focused on the air in front of him. Silver light flowed from his fingers, creating a small patch of shimmering energy about the size of his palm.

'Interesting,' he thought. When he touched the patch, it felt solid - like he had made a piece of the air turn into glass.

[This is just the beginning. With practice, you can make larger areas.]

Ruby's voice came from behind him. "Master, what are you doing?"

He let the silver energy fade. "Just testing something new."

"Ooh, is it from that core yesterday?" She bounced on her toes, tail wagging. "Can I see?"

"Maybe later. We should get moving."

As the others woke up, he checked the black box they found. He pulled out the research notes again.
