"Keep the eye covered, it's power is alluring and enticing to those that can use it, and parasitic to those that can't," Evrena said.
She then waived her hand a cloth flew from one of the piles of treasure towards us. With the flick of her wrist the orb floated up into the air. The clothe wrapped neatly around the orb obscuring its gaze from sight.
Slowly the orb drifted down into my hand. I then placed the orb into my sack.
"Thank you," I said.
"You're welcome, I hope you find your wife," Evrena said.
A wave of melancholy emanated from her.
A thought then crossed my mind.
"Wait how do we find the Dark One?" I asked.
"...Wait, you don't know?" Evrena questioned.
"No we don't," Marina replied.
She sighed.
"It's easy to reach out to her if you know how," she said as if looking down on us, in a pitying sort of way. "Well it's a good thing I just ate not long before you arrived," she said as if stating the obvious.
She flicked her finger again. This time something small came flying around the corner.
It landed squarely in my hand.
A wishbone.
