Last Alchemist
You pull a stick of chalk from your pouch and quickly sketch an intricate alchemical barrier on the floor encircling the visitor. As the symbols ignite with a faint luminescence, you raise a hand and firmly declare, "Do not cross this line."Folding your arms tightly, you fix the visitor with a piercing stare. "Explain yourself now—what is this, and why did you bring it here? Don’t test my patience," you declare, your tone heavy with authority.Acting decisively, you dart forward and wrest the box from their hold. The unexpected move causes the visitor to stagger backward, while you secure the artifact, resolved to handle its enigmatic contents yourself.You cautiously place your fingers on the glowing glyphs, their pulsating light responding to your touch. As you study the patterns, you begin piecing together their significance, knowing full well that the box’s secret may come at a cost.
