| Sacrificial Altar |
Red stone. Polished to a shine. Familiar, but not quite anything like one I'd ever seen in my world. A ceremonial brazier - but one so overwrought with a snake motif that it somehow became the entire concept.
The serpent coiled, carved from around a centerpost that would come up to my chest. From tail spiraling up to gaping maw… which served as the holder of the roiling, fully red fire contained within it.
Color which I am familiar with from my worlds rituals, made to burn that way by flakes of a particular metal. Only this flame, lowset where nonexistent fuel should be, doesn't move with the wind.
Or melt the snow - despite the whole thing haven fallen on its side after crushing the piece of much lighter technology from this world. I do hope that these things are not so valuable or so limited that the system's timing just caused a big problem for her.
"This is made of jasper, right? It's very…"
