The moment Jacob poured his true soul force into the Map of the Blazing Constellation, it reacted and started to pulse as if the material itself began to breathe.
The faint celestial shimmer on the silky surface bloomed as a fiery constellation blazed to life, forming a complex celestial formation that resembled a stylized ram—the Aries Zodiac—its horns spiraling like twin flame vortexes.
As the image stabilized, glowing lines radiated outward, forming a shifting map across what appeared to be volcanic terrain, broken ley lines, and hidden flame altars scattered across an ancient, half-buried continent.
Yet, this was not all. The edges of the scroll curled upward slightly, and lines of hidden text, invisible before, began to glow in archaic flame-script, floating just above the surface like embers suspended in time.
This archaic script danced and twisted; it was incredibly profound and mystic, as if containing secrets of the fire.
