We reached the point where my little imp had teleported, and from there we followed the magical trace of the rest of my stolen belongings from the armory.

He’d been here before, but tonight felt different. Every step was part of the plan. Inside, it was darker than usual. He moved past the crates, past the humming sensor banks. Picked up just a few pieces of raw Adrium — unpolished, sharp, glowing like ice with a pulse. Enough to look greedy, but not suspiciously loaded. He tucked them into his cloth bag.

My wolf held it reverently between her blood-soaked claws. Xareth picked up an artifact from a corner of the dungeon. It was shaped like a vase but looked nothing like any vessel I’d ever seen, ancient, etched with spiraling runes that moved like they were alive. Shadows seemed to coil around it, whispering things my mind refused to understand. “Drop it,” he commanded smoothly. My wolf obeyed.

Their movements were a blurred dance of adrenaline and danger, the urgency of the moment igniting something primal within them all. Amelia reached the entrance of the artifact chamber just as the battle intensified behind her. Through the twisting passage, she could see the artifact shimmering, hovering like a treasure encased in magic—a glowing trident adorned with intricate runes that seemed to hum in response to her very presence.
