The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1034

[Why don't you use that Avatar skill and see if you can activate the stones? At least then we will know if there is more magic on them.] Remi suggested.

[Did you forget what the Avatar looks like? A Totem Ranked World Dragon will not fit in the basement of the temple.] Karl reminded her.

[Oh, good point. Without the skill, then.]

"Do you mind if I cast a spell to examine the stones? I would like to make a full record of the magic on them, if possible." Karl requested.

Half a continent was searching for these in his time. It was really only the Orcs and the Dragons who weren't trying to find them to either use or destroy them.

But, come to think of it, it was quite possible that the Dragons had them in their possession the whole time, and simply refused to tell anyone.

Mira shrugged and gestured at the floor. "If you think that you can actually examine those, you're welcome to it. The magic on them is under a divine seal. Many over the years have come here and tried to inspect them, but none have managed to learn anything about their usage.

I won't allow you to pull them up, but anything you can do with them in place and undamaged is fine."

Karl looked over his notes, and rearranged the activation prayer a little so that it flowed better. It wasn't written in Common, but some ancient language that used the Runecrafting Runes.

However, Ancient Dwarven also used most of the same runes, so Karl decided to go for the prayer in the Dwarven Runic language, instead of the original language.

{Mighty World Dragon, Creator of Worlds, Overseer of Might, Patron of Righteousness, grant us insight into the wisdom of the ages.} Karl began, following the inscription.

An amused voice echoed in his mind. {A wise Dragon once said, "You should use all your skill points before begging for more power."}

Karl burst out laughing, and stopped the prayer as the stones pulsed with golden power.

"Something happened." Mira gasped.

"Well, explain." Tessa agreed.

"I started what I thought was the invocation prayer, and got chastised for not using all my skill points before praying for more power." Karl explained as he tried to control his amusement.

Mira smirked, while Tessa and the Orcish Chieftain facepalmed.

"Well, do that, and start over. I think that it was working. Whatever invocation you used was enough to activate some of the power of the stones." Mira insisted.

She had lived here for years, and knew all about the temple. So, she was just as invested in seeing a new feature as the others were.

"Give me a few minutes and I will use my skill points, then try again. I think I understand how they work now." Karl agreed.
