The sun set, & the travelers settled in Yukina's cave. Maxim kept watch in the skies as they talked around a fire where Q'inde pulled out some food.
The drahke stared at the humans, longer than someone familiar with society in general would. "How did you come across such an age old jewel?"
Aurelia worked to peel a strange Saranian fruit as she replied. "My gran gave it to me as a gift when I was born. Then I gave it to Alex when we met - on Earth."
Yukina frowned. "A magic-realm amulet in the human world? Traditionally, only royalty would keep such archaic, powerful treasures. Elves have long kept such ancient records & relics. Under their guard and millennia long searches for new acquisitions, few things like this would ever be able to escape their holds." Her tongue flicked out in irritation. "Even dragons' hoards have been raided since the old days to reclaim such treasures by sorcerers and elves."
The travellers looked to each other - it was time to meet the elf king at last.
