Erik gasped. His eyes widened. Finally, the core produced something. A drop of glowing white power left his fusion core, dripping through the appropriate power channel, and dropping into his stomach like a scalding piece of molten metal.
On his shoulder, Elora began to grin widely. Until now, they couldn't have been absolutely sure that the core would work under normal circumstances. But it did!
"It's the first drop of deliberately created Elorium!" she spoke with fascination and enthusiasm. It was her named discovery, and now she was seeing it in action.

'How did I even survive this the first time?' he gulped slightly. He could already feel his body fraying at the edges from just this one drop, and before he used dozens of these things?
