"Take it. You know the procedure—only this time, clearly imagine what you need. Don't hesitate. This won't go well if you do."
Elaruîn passed him the glass-like bead as Fay's hands trembled. He could already feel the power seeping from the stone, along with the changes it could bring to him.
Fay nodded. He needed this now.
He began to think of the creatures from the book Horin had shown him. At the top of the food chain, all the elements had a dragon as its ruler—each more powerful than the last.
Whether born of fire, ice, or wind, each one seemed to find a way to break their bindings to their master.
Fay wondered if he would suffer the same fate. And if he did, then he would unleash that beast in the hums' lands—to repay what the Sumarg had done to the Ravari, and to Horin.
He just had to picture one of those mighty beasts. One that might even be too powerful for him to control—at least for now.
