Four Pillars: The Second Shard

Whoosh!

Just as the monotonous voice was finished talking, a small jet-black shard appeared a fair distance away from the young man, emanating an aura that he had become more than acquainted with thanks to a certain incident.

Taking some time to recover from the shock he felt, Valyr soon moved closer to the shard floating in the air, being reminded once more how the shard looked like a random piece of glass.

Then again, recalling how that piece of glass had allowed him to tap into an unworldly level of power, the young man took in a deep breath as he calmed himself down.

'What would happen if I were to absorb another shard?' Using [Superior Analysis] to ascertain that the shard before him was indeed another Shard of Defiance, Valyr began to wonder whether there were any downsides to having two shards instead of one.
