The crystal burst back alight, but this time the fire was roaring and full of starlight. It threw itself against us and the heat of it blasted against our souls. “This fate is not for you to decide, seeker of knowledge,” the stars bellowed inside my mind, their fury clear. “The voices of the dead do not belong in the ears of the living. You shall not attempt this twice, or our wrath shall befall you and all those you hold dear.”
Oh shit
