Whoosh!
Kai reappeared near the makeshift camp.
The fire still crackled softly.
The sound of snoring echoed from inside the tent.
'Well, somebody having a sleep of their life.'
Vael glanced down at him from the branch above, then again began scanning the surroundings.
Kai walked over to the log, slumped down, and exhaled.
Then he raised his hand. A faint pulse of blue shimmered in front of his eyes as the storage ring reacted.
Kai's eyes scanned through the items, and his brow arched slightly.
A blue panel hovered in the air.
[
Inside the ring, neatly arranged, were:
Six mid-grade healing potions, two bottles of mana restoratives, twelve Essence Stones
And at the bottom…something wrapped in an aged cloth, bound by runic thread.
Kai pulled it out. Peeled the cloth back, revealing a silver talisman etched with deep azure veins, pulsing softly.
He narrowed his eyes. "What kind of artifact is it?"
Then the text on the panels changed.
