Synthesis Loom chamber.

Vanessa stood at the main console, her face brightened by the blue light of many holographic screens. She looked very focused, but also a bit nervous. Seraph stood by the closed door, her hand resting on her sidearm. Draven stood on the other side with his arms crossed.

Over the room's comms channel, an open line crackled. On the other end, miles away in the Silver Phoenix Empire, Princess Ariana was watching and waiting.

The heavy door opened with a hiss, and Jonah walked in. Something about him had changed.

He still looked worn out, the tiredness plain on his face. But something was different now. A calm fire burned in his eyes. He seemed to carry a piece of the silent space he had just visited below the city. Even the way he carried himself wasn't the same anymore.

In the middle of his chest, visible even through his shirt, a small, bright spark of light pulsed slowly and steadily. The Dragon's Star-Chart. The gift from a captive god.

He met Vanessa's worried look and gave her a confident nod. "It's time," he said, his voice calm and clear.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" she asked, her voice low. "The simulations..."

"The simulations were missing a key variable," he replied, walking to the middle of the platform. "Now we have it."

Jonah sat down in front of the raised platform where the Primordial Geode seated. He took a deep breath, and the light in his chest glowed a little brighter.

"We are all here with you, Jonah," Ariana's voice came over the comms, clear and strong, even though she was miles away. " All our lives depend on this."

No pressure, then.

Jonah closed his eyes and plunged his mind into his mental Workshop. He summoned the three chaotic, warring essences. The crushing dark of the Void-Jelly. The burning light of the Solar Moth. The warping energy of the Phase Spider.

The moment the essences appeared, the air in the room began to vibrate violently. The three energies immediately began fighting each other.

"Here it comes!" Seraph said, gripping her sidearm tighter.

"It's happening much faster than the simulations!" Vanessa yelled, her hands moving fast across her console. "The core is already becoming unstable!"

"It's okay," Jonah said, his voice calm and steady. "This time, we have an anchor."

He focused his will, not on the three essences, but on the spark of starlight within him. He reached for the cosmic knowledge the dragon had given him, the map of the void. He pulled it from his own soul and gently placed it into the Primordial Geode.

The effect was instant.

The violent buzzing in the room did not stop, but it changed. It became smoother, turning to a deep, resonant tone. The chaotic energies of the three essences did not calm down, but they were... contained.

Inside the Geode, the spark of starlight had created a stable field of zero gravity. It was like his own private universe. A safe workshop where he could build a star-swimmer.

"Core integrity is stabilizing," Vanessa gasped, her eyes wide with awe as she stared at her screens. "He did it. He actually did it."

Now, the real work began. This was not a creation of raw, explosive power like Atlas. This was cosmic engineering, a delicate and precise surgery on the laws of nature.

First, Jonah took the essence of the Sunken Void-Jelly. He carefully wove it around the edges of the zero-gravity field. He was not just making a tough skin. He was building a hull. A flexible, durable "pressure shell" that could keep the deadly vacuum of space out, and the fragile bit of life within.

Next, he took the essence of the Phase Spider. He carefully took apart the concept of "Spatial Warping" and rewove it. He was not making a teleporting creature. He was building an engine. He created a system of tiny, focused points that could create small, controlled jumps in space. This would let it move and turn without needing to push off anything.

"He's installing the propulsion system," Vanessa murmured, her voice low and amazed as she stared at the complex energy patterns on her screen. "This is... this is theoretically impossible."

Finally, Jonah reached for the last ingredient. The essence of the Solar Moth. He took its glowing, sun-like power and spread it throughout the creature's form. He was weaving sails. Huge, light collectors designed to catch the invisible winds of cosmic radiation and turn them into pure, clean energy. He was giving his creation a fuel tank that would never run out, powered by the stars themselves.

The process was just incredible to watch.

But it was taking a terrible toll on the Jonah.

Sweat poured down on Jonah's face, his whole body shaking from how incredibly hard he was concentrating. He was weaving three different concepts of the universe into a living being. His mind was stretched to its absolute limit, the only thing holding it together was the anchor of the dragon's starlight.

"His psychic energy is reaching critical levels!" Vanessa warned, as she gripped her console. "If he pushes any harder, he could suffer a total burnout!"

"He can do it," Draven said, his voice a low, certain rumble. He didn't move, didn't say a word. He just watched, completely certain in his friend.

Jonah heard them, but their voices sounded distant in the storm of creation that was raging in his mind. He knew he was close. All the pieces were there. The hull. The engine. The sails.

He gave one last push of his will, putting his whole self into this act of creation. He took the three impossible concepts and wove them together in a final and beautiful knot.

The deep, buzzing sound in the room stopped. The light from the Primordial Geode, which had been glowing with a cosmic light, vanished.

Everything went silent. Everything went dark.

The Primordial Geode was gone. In its place, a new object now floated where the geode had been.

It was not a cocoon of rock or a shell of obsidian.

It was a smooth sphere of total blackness. It did not reflect any light. It absorbed it.

The synthesis was complete. The star-weaver had finished his work.
