Albus and Tragon
It was coming from a 3-meter-long pure white shard of light that was hovering in the middle of a giant glass cylinder attached to some kind of a strange machine.
Jin Wang stepped closer to inspect it and after a few seconds, he was able to see the true source of the white light. It was coming from a prismatic crystal that was perfectly symmetrical with twelve sides.
The crystal was pulsating with bursts of white light every two seconds and was the source of the humming noise.
The machine it was attached to took up most of the space in this room. Black pipes connected to gold tubes which in turn joined with various pumps and siphoning apparatus to make a very complicated and messy scene.
These pipes and tubes were spread out around the entire room which didn't seem to have an exit to speak of. They were coming out of the walls almost like a ventilator, pumping whatever kind of light that was being emitted by the crystal into the room itself.
