Selene's talisman reacted strongly to the grove's energy, its glow intensifying as they approached the altar. "The artifact should be placed on the altar," she said, her eyes scanning the carvings. "We need to align it with the celestial symbols."

The bioluminescent leaves of the trees flickered and pulsed, as if in response to the activation of the altar.

"This grove is a living part of the energy network," Mara said, her eyes wide with wonder. "It's responding to the artifact and revealing hidden aspects of the network."
