Primeval Fire (Scarlet Odyssey, #3)

by C.T. Rwizi

“Our one hope to defeat my reflection and his master lies with these artifacts.” As Salo speaks, the four structures surrounding the pyramid grow larger on the mirage. Ilapara eyes the circle of obelisks to the north, convinced she’s seen them before. “The Book of Lies refers to them as the Cosmic Tetrad. Each artifact represents one of the four arcane powers that exist in the world: the moon, the suns, the Blue Comet, and the Primeval Spirits. The artifacts were built in secret along cardinal points equidistant from the pyramid and were designed to slowly amass power from their respective sources over the centuries. So slowly, in fact, that no one would ever notice, not even Arante’s powerful, all-knowing servants.” The artifacts above the panel each gain a white glow, and then together they release beams of light that intersect at the pyramid’s apex.
