Like Veins
Wrote it a long time ago, but I'll post it just to get a glimpse of how Cronyl and Avelyn will work together with their different eye focuses. Also, of the possible buff they will find when they find the humans in Book 2 and 3.
Context: Izohr, the human MC shows Cronyl and Avelyn the powersuits people built a long time ago. Humans couldn't use it yet, so they try and succeed on figuring out how to make it work.
CRONYL AND AVELYN | IZOHR | BOOK 3 EXPLORATION | WC: 287
“The elders built it for us, but we can’t use it,” Izohr stated, gesturing towards the artifact.
Cronyl’s metal-focused eye sparkled ever so slightly as he looked at it.
“It’s full of some kind of tanks. Little thread-like holes are leading to them, it’s like a web inside the suit.”
“…Like veins”
Both men turned to Avelyn.
“What?”
“Based on your explanation, these threads connect the whole thing, which means, it was built like a human – or driadlin – body! The threads are the veins,” she explained, her excitement bubbling in her chest.
Izhor seemed lost in thought upon hearing this.
“’That… sounds strange, but possible.”
Of course, it could be possible. Cronyl, however, frowned a bit, his ever-skeptical expression spreading across his face.
“Okay, yeah. But then what are the tanks for?”
“Well, there’s only one way to find out.”
She looked at the crawling golden mist that fled from Cronyl’s body and aimed at the ceiling. Luckily, he was exhausted enough to leak a ton of energy. Avelyn concentrated and made some gestures with her hands, inviting and then guiding the smoke-like energy to the suit.
“Where’s the entrance?” she asked, keeping her eyes on the mist. She was sure about Cronyl will understand who she speaks to. And, fortunately, he did.
“On the wrists, and the elbow… and the heel? Wait, it’s like…”
She pushed the mist into the suit by the wrist, which started to travel through the threads. She could see it clearly, even though the suit’s structure wasn’t visible to her. The energy spread and then concentrated in little tank-like shapes.
Then the artifact started to glow.
