Sitting beside the Eight-Winged Dragon's statue, Aegon busied himself in the complex mechanisms of the Rune Formations. It was perhaps the most complex and difficult Rune Formation he had ever made, but the situation demanded it.
The other parts were auxiliary aspects, so he could afford to distract himself for a moment, but this was different. Making the core of a Rune Formation always proved to be difficult.
Especially since this Rune Formation was special and needed more work on the core. The Rune Formation came alive from the moment he carved out the First Rune, which meant the core had to be made while handling the pressure of all those auxiliary runes already at work.
This became the reason he didn't even notice his surroundings or what happened with his team. He trusted them, so he knew they would defend him while he did his work.
