Aneh looked down at her hands. She silently chided herself on paying more attention and placed her hands on her belly. The child within knew her limitations better than she did. She took some time to meditate and center herself before she rose from her quiet place within the Tripower Hall. One last push. That's what she had said. She would make it true. She had employed several tripower liches to aid in this process. She wanted no more chances.
Aneh sent a young recruit to gather her team members and made her way to the lab. She took some time to look down on the stones. She had so many feelings about these stones. They were so... odd, so full of life. But that seemed an impossibility. It was just magic, wasn't it? Was it her own wishful thinking that something deeper could be at play here? Maybe it was her out of control hormones that were playing tricks on her. Aneh's team started filtering in, taking up their positions and starting their work. The time was now, she knew, and she turned to her team.
'This is it, guys. After this we will go directly to the suit and we will start the final processes. Everyone will be working through until this is complete. I hope you all are well rested because no one leaves until we are done.' Aneh looked at each of her team members for any signs that they weren't in this for the long haul. Seeing none, she nodded and turned to the stones.
'Let's begin,' she said. Aneh filtered her magic through two of the stones, much like she had before. She closed her eyes and let the process overtake her, becoming one with the process and melding her magic and life force with the stones. When the stones duplicated, Aneh stepped back. She motioned for her team to move in, and watched, her eyes still glowing from the interaction with the materia, as the grand suit was rolled forward by several men. Tripower Wizards came forward, magic trinkets in hand and liches followed, one for every wizard. Aneh nodded quietly as she, alone took each stone and placed it in its proper setting within the suit. One in each knee joint, one at each shoulder, one where a human heart would be, and one, the original mastered stone, where a human brain would be. Six stones. There was one more setting at the back, and that was for the item that would bind this all together. Aneh nodded to a young wizard who brought a jet black object forward. It looked like a simple stone, but for weeks now, it had been infused with spells and magicks of the Tripower Wizards, more delicate and purposeful than the mechanical workings of the suit its self. Aneh watched carefully as it was placed in its setting and after a deep breath, she nodded.
Chanting began from liches and wizards alike, and Aneh stood directly in front of the suit, with her team fanned out behind. She watched the eyes of the suit, as if they were a real live mans, waiting for the being to 'wake'.
'The world is waiting for you,' Aneh whispered, a soft smile playing on her lips as her team frantically wove their spells. Aneh reached out to the stone that was where the heart should be. She allowed her magic to flow into the stone, her eyes glowing a bit more as the link was formed, visible magic and life essence flowing from one stone, to another, forming a complete link. Men stood by, closing up the suit as Aneh stepped back, breaking her connection to the flow, and allowing it to stand on its own.
'Come on, I know you're in there,' she whispered...
