"Osiris, hmāyh Lnā Mn Khlāl Hdhā az̧-Z̧lm" said a raspy voice. "Şh ، Chiragu Lā Ymknnā Wḑʻ Mzyd Mn al-ʻMl Ldynā ʻLá al-Khwf Zʻym as-Sābqyn ، Wqāl Ānh Ystḩq ʼFḑl" said an old, frail voice.

The light that shined brightly on the corpse's leg glistened and illuminated the room, pretty much eliminating the candle's purpose.
The man shown, looking buff, angry, and worried. His skin had went from tan to ghostly pale and he started shivering. The emotions rushed through him, as if he was in a trance. Adrenaline pumped through his veins. Without warning, he slammed the gem on the corpse's leg. The others gasped, but it was unheard considering not even a fraction of a second later, a humongous explosion stretched across thousands of miles throughout the land, damaging everything in its path.
