Chapter 12 - 12: Very funny joke
Inside the sphere of light, Erik watched in amazement as he rose into the air, noting how the cruiser in the sky grew larger from his perspective. This only highlighted the incredible craftsmanship, which seemed to have been carved from a single piece of white jade or something similar.
By the time they reached the upper deck of the ship, the spheres of light disappeared, revealing the wolves and Erik, who began to look around with curiosity and caution, while Sigrún watched them with a small smile.
"What do you think of my ship, Erik?"
"It's awesome! Do you know how to make one of these, Master?" Erik asked, his eyes shining.
"Mmm... well, I know the logic behind its functioning," Sigrún replied evasively while looking away. But out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Erik's expression change to one of slight disappointment, so she quickly added, "But if you want to learn how to make one, I know someone who can teach you."
"Really?! You're the best, Master! Can I take a closer look at the ship?"
"Of course, look at everything you want."
Erik jumped for joy and approached a small tower at the rear of the deck, which he began examining closely, analyzing the material it was made of while running his fingers over the set of runes engraved all over its surface.
Meanwhile, Sigrún watched with an ironic smile at her first disciple's evident interest in the artifact, but her expression quickly changed to one of surprise, evidence of the incredible event occurring before her.
(How is that possible?!!! That's Myst solidification, although its structure is terrible, making it super inefficient and fragile. I've never seen or heard of anyone who can do it so easily, let alone control it at will like that!!)
What Sigrún was witnessing was incredible even for someone like her. After all, Erik was now suspended in the air, standing on a platform that seemed to be made of crystal, rotating around the tower so he could better see the carved runes.
