A slight gesture from Phir and an ancient oval Yin Yang
incense burner sitting on a tall slender table fires up and

cleansing serenity to the room.

Phir Qi nods with a small smile, “Take the ring from the
box, and put it on the first finger of your right hand with
the diamond towards your finger tip."
The nervous Anza takes the ring and places it on the first
finger of his left hand, "What do I do now?"
Phir looks softly at his grandson, knowing the burden he
must pass on to him, “The ring must be on the right hand,

"things will happen that you will not understand. You must
trust me, and do as I ask.”
Anza takes the Magical Transfer Ring, which has an oval
faceted Tanzanite stone surrounded by ancient writings
and a small diamond, puts it on the first finger of his right
hand and points at the Tome of Legends.

beam to the white book. The beam emits ethereally harmonious
sounds as if the angels were performing a symphony.
