"LightºCome, burn away the darkness."
My voice echoed softly in the room, and the book immediately reacted. Subtle tremors ran across its surface, and, in response to the command, the chains of light began to undo themselves, dissolving into the air like golden sparks. The pages started flipping rapidly, revealing their contents.
