Suddenly, right as Melona was ready to give up, the sparkles surrounding Melona floated in front of her, gradually collecting into a small mass in front of her. The mass slowly took shape, disparate particles melding together into a solid ball-like form. The ball shimmered one last time, and then the light faded, the object falling down as gravity began to take effect on it. Melona sat up quickly, catching the item in her hands, and looked down at what she had created.
