The End of Step One

The artefacts stuck onto the top part of the torch, still shaking as though they were alive. Even though Mizuto and Kishi were to not complain, they were still concerned about the torch's well being. They DID assemble it for quite some time.

After a while, the beam of light exploded lightly and formed some sort of void, sucking all the artefacts into it. With one last breath, the beam exploded more this time, blinding the group's way of vision to cause them to cover their eyes. 

The flashes of light kept invading their vision, not allowing them to open their eyes as they stepped back. Shizuka hid behind her taupe-brown-headed brother and didn't even dare to open her vision.

The earth shook when the light hadn't yet to dim its glow. The group grunted in the bit of stinging pain their eyelids felt. They felt oddly sore, even if they hadn't blinked or even open their eyes.
