❝Never. You'll never be a 𝘧𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭. You'll always be a 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰. You weren't the first, but you're the most memorable.❞
No wonder a cape-and a midnight bet-can bring two people uninterested with romance together.

Aiden chuckled as he watched her focus on the task at hand, finding her concentrating face cute. He can't take anything seriously whenever this cutie is around.
Cyra slapped his cheek lightly to snap him out, earning an embarrassed blush from the fire king.
"Here, Summoning Flames." Elsa exclaimed, pushing the book for them to see. Aiden curiously glanced at the side of the page, seeing an old, ancient sketch of a sun and persons basking below it with smiling lips, the sun's rays hitting their faces.
He began to read the words encrypted beside the picture.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Aiden muttered under his breath in frustration. Elsa chuckled at his reaction, kissing his cheek, "Well, it's not an official explanation. It's not proven yet, so, nothing, basically."
Aiden smiled against her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, "Let's just check the artifacts out, for the precautionary measures thing. What was the name again?"
Elsa looked around the area, checking if anyone else is nearby. She whispered gently to her husband's ear, "Temptatis Exitium."
Aiden nodded in return, flipping through the pages, until he reached Unit 4. He flipped through a few pages more, until his eyes widened to find the jewelry formed artifact, its sketch very detailed and had taken up an entire page.

"Woah.." The two of them murmured.
This artifact may fool you into thinking that is just another pretty jewel to wear around your neck. It possess dark magic, and has multiple uses and abilities for bad schemes. To fool, to hypnotize, and to absorb nearby power.
King Halcyon III's resentful mage had rebelled against him and tried to take the throne, by gathering all of his knowledge about both good and dark sorcery, and putting all his desired offensive actions into this amulet he forged.
This artifact's been thrown away many years ago, officially decreed by King Halcyon III.
"Why didn't they just destroy it long ago?" Elsa questioned in a dumbfounded tone, "By this book's description, it's already proven dangerous."
"Throwing it away is a reckless deed they made. Didn't they think somebody could've picked it up and get fooled by thinking it's just a regular necklace?" Aiden huffed in irritation, "Their insights back then are quite the catch."
"We should tell the King about this." Elsa firmly suggested.
Aiden blinked, "Ignaera has a king?"
Elsa laughed, "You didn't listen well to the short man we have stumbled upon to earlier. He mentioned something about 'wimps' and the king."
Aiden closes the leather book, neatly putting it on the very top of the stack, and quickly puts on his backpack, before declaring, "Then let's go and get through the bottom of this. To the palace?"
Cyra and Elsa nodded, "To the palace." They chorused.
