My heart pounded. This was it. Another piece of the Lim Ling’s heart, hidden in the deepest part of the ocean.
The energy signatures were emanating from the structure. They were powerful, almost overwhelming the submersible’s sensors.
Captain Rostova carefully maneuvered the Abyss Explorer closer to the structure.
“Remarkable,” one of the scientists murmured, his voice filled with awe. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
As we got closer, I felt the familiar pull from the sculptures I had brought with me. It was stronger than ever, resonating with the energy of the ancient structure outside.
I reached into my bag and pulled out the fused sculpture (wood and first stone piece) and the separate mountain stone sculpture. Holding them in my lap, I felt their combined energy reacting to the structure outside, vibrating in sync with the readings on the submersible’s monitors.
The energy from the structure seemed to be intensifying, reacting to the presence of the sculptures. Outside the viewports, the water around the structure began to shimmer, as if vibrating.
