school - mostly because a neighbor was a coach and his son was his same age - although the coaches son lost interest after a couple of years.  Even so his neighbor continued to coach and support him because of his talent for the game. 
    Ava told of her family and that her father while very successful as a merchant factor and trader was pretty much a regular guy.  Even though he was very successful he had grown up with four other brothers from a farming community fifty milos outside the city of Gofain which was another three hundred or so milos north west of Jehhet on the border of Infin and Old Luios but she had grown up in the capitol of Old Luion in Lu Y Onton. 
    As it turned out, Ava’s father was quite the warball fanatic and when Ava had mentioned several months previously that Shane Chason was in her magetech class and she thought he was kind of cute, unbeknownst to her he had offered some booster money to assure that the warball star was allowed to be a part of the artifact group.  However it was her own machinations that had managed her convenient assignment as his lab partner. 
    For the next several weeks they continued to catalog the glyphs on all of the artifacts that they could get their hands at the same time examining as much department research as they could find in order to learn if there was any validation to their glyph geometry theory.  One night Shane sat by himself – Ava having left early to study for a test that she had to take in the morning – he was hunched over a list of glyphs of various artifacts that he had documented so far.  Reaching for a new device he placed a box shaped artifact on the desk in front of him. 
    When I DAD had submitted the artifact they had indicated that it was some sort of “non-crystal” light source discovered in what they suspected to have once been a school of higher learning.  The research team had gathered it to be one of a kind because unlike previous light producing artifacts it didn’t use a power source nor required a crystal to produce the light.  What seemed to jump out to Shane was that it had a square base with intricate scrollwork along the edges, but the glyphs were contained on only one side within a circular plate centered within the square.  In addition to the glyphs contained within the circled section of the artifact, outside of the circle there was a thick line with smaller circle with an image of a finger next to it on the far right of the line.  It had already been discovered that if you placed your finger on the small circle on the line a globe of light would appear above the box.  Touching it again would extinguish the light.  The light was cool to the touch; if he put his hand through the light he only felt a light tingle.  There was no change in the light output –ones hand simply disappeared in the light.  Additionally if you slid your finger along the line the image of the circle would follow your finger and the globe of light would brighten or dim depending on the direction that you slid your finger.  As he cataloged the glyphs from the new artifact he noticed that there were several that he had not seen before.  Deciding he wanted a copy of his own, Shane pulled out a piece of paper and began to draw the three rows of glyphs used for the light globe.  As he stared at the three rows of symbols he drew a circle around the group of glyphs.  Taking the artifact in his hand he looked at it from every side.  He continued to stare at it admiring the detailed scroll work.  While there were many other artifacts that had helped in the discovery of light crystals – a discovery that had been made fifty years ago. The light globe was the first of its kind known to produce light where no crystals were required. 
    As Shane followed the intricate scroll work he noticed that each corner contained what appeared to be small pyramids with sun glyphs in the center on the square outside the circle.  Taking a magnifying glass he took
