Lorena's POV:

We are gathered in the old Guard Tower with Zoey, Dale, Lucinda, Dante, Laurence, Kawaii~Chan, Yip and Logan. Garroth called this meeting after we told home what happened in Zoey's room.

Garroth: "I've gathered you all here today because you are all an expert in your field of craft. Be it from travel experience, Magicks, or Witchcraft. Zoey, can you please explain the series of events that led to the creation of the Amulet we see before us."

Zoey: "I can... as you all know I reside in Lady Lorena's house. I was busy getting ready to present my idea of hosting a Baby Shower to Kiki and the other ladies of the village for little Leona when Lady Lorena came into my room with Dante. Lady Lorena started talking to me and then the next thing I know... there was a newly merged Pendant on the floor... made from the remains of the Necklace that cursed Alexis which I held in my room, and the one that little Leona was born from."

Garroth: "That's the story, what we fail to understand is exactly why this happened."

Laurence: "Was this an accident?"

Zoey: "I'm not sure, no one moved or caused anything to happen... I would have sensed something initiating. The Pendants just came together as if they were waiting for this moment the whole time."

Laurence: "What's even more concerning is that one of the Amulets happens to be one that transformed Alexis into a grown woman, a Shadow Knight to be exact."

Dale: "... Is Alexis still a Shadow Knight, Laurence?"

Laurence: "From what I can tell, no. She WAS one yes, but she became one in an instant, through different means... real Shadow Knights are not made like that... not that that's anything to be proud of..."

Garroth: "What the question comes down to is... is this Amulet something we need to hide, destroy, study, fear... what IS it exactly?"

As soon as Garroth finishes his sentence the Amulet starts glowing. We can hear a strange sound coming from it.

Kawaii~Chan: "Kawaii~Chan has never seen anything like this in her life..."

Lucinda: "... Same, it's not even radiating any kind of Magical Aura..."

Laurence: "Is that dangerous?"

Logan: "It's not exactly dangerous but it can be... usually Magicks and Witchcraft Users can sense one another's presence and the same can be said for potions of great potency. What Lucinda is trying to say is that if someone wanted to do anything under our noses we would not even know about it until it was too late."

Kawaii~Chan: "That's right Logan~Kun! Kawaii~Chan didn't know you knew so much about these kinds of things."

Logan: "I used to be a Traveling Merchant. Hence why Garroth asked me here. You learn things on the road."

Zoey: "Logan is right. We have plenty of different kinds of Magicks Users in Town plus Lucinda. One of us should have been able to feel this merging of Pendants happening, but it took us actually seen the event to bring it to attention."

Garroth: "We just need to know what it is... does anyone have any ideas?"

Lucinda: "......."

Kawaii~Chan: "... Not a clue Garroth~Kun..."

Yip: "No, sorry..."

Logan: "I have an idea, it's a little unorthodox but... Garroth, may I bring someone from outside the village into this affair? I feel like they might prove to be useful."
