Within the Heart of the Aemos(2)
"Schnick. Scnick." With two quick swings of his Skysteel blade, Kothar cut the purple crystal free of the web of muscle in which it was suspended.
The crystal fell to the ground, the metal housing around it sinking into the muscle below.
[That wasn't so bad, was it.] Silane said, they didn't seem to be falling and there had been no reaction to the loss of the crystal.
[I'll pick it up by the metal around it, it doesn't seem to be as full of Spatial Mana as the crystal.] Kothar said, reaching down to grip the metal prongs that had stuck out and allowed the crystal to attach to the heart muscle.
Kothar gripped each side tightly, but the crystal wouldn't budge at all, he looked closer, and realized that the flesh was rapidly growing around the metal, holding it to the floor.
