VIDEO BEGINS TRANSCRIBING — — —
A beam of light from a window somewhere in the ceiling had slowly crept along the floor as Judy read out the diary to her subscribers. As she finishes reading the most recent entry, the beam finally reaches her, illuminating her like a spotlight, turning her reddish-brown hair into a deep fiery red.
She slowly lowers the old and beaten diary, hardly noticing the light, lost in thought as she sets it on the table next to the golden tote. Her eyes are focused on the open page she just finished. Not into the frame of the camera, which is odd because that was where she had been focused on while speaking to her audience when starting the video. Those eyes are also changed by the light, tinted from their normal gray with just the slightest shade of copper green.
The scene at that moment is stunning.
A lonely, sad girl. Eyes, red and puffy, focused entirely on an old dirty diary. Thoughts lost among her grandmother’s memoir and mountains of that person's old, forgotten things. Well-lit by stage lights, which for the moment are overwhelmed by a beam of sunlight, motes of dust swirling and gleaming, falling on her from above.
In that quiet moment, you can see Judy's face change oh so subtly, her mind working through the beginnings of what her grandmother left for her to find. First, her brow wrinkles in, and her head leans a fraction to the side. Confused. Then her brow curls farther, her head rights itself, and her mouth turns down to a frown. Anger? Disappointment? Lastly, her brow relaxes, and her frown deepens. Sadness.
Finally, she speaks. “What is this, Grandma? I… Fantasy? Am I supposed to believe this? I thought the letter thing wasn't Literal, I thought it was a metaphor or something. The letter talked about Elenteir like it was just a different state of mind or something. I was thinking it was a drug.”
Now her face shifts back to anger, still speaking to the journal, her audience forgotten, “How could you do this to me? You leave me some mysterious letter. You promised me answers, reasons, this is where it starts? Some kind of isekai? What the ~BEEP~ is this? I do true crime and unsolved case videos, Grandmother, not creative writing!”
She stands up abruptly, and begins to grab things out of the golden tote next to the diary.
First she takes out a massive sheet of folded paper, the size of the small crate, even folded into quarters as it is. The page crackles as she whips it through the air, the ancient paper threatening to fall apart.
“What the ~BEEP~ else is in here? A ~BEEP-ING~ dragon?”
She continues to pull stuff out of the crate, a wooden badge is slammed down on the table, followed by a thick sheaf of papers with a sticky note attached to the top page. An old, battered and dented fountain pen is tossed down next.
Finally, she has to lean down and grab something in the container with both hands, hauling it out before using her arm to knock away the now empty gold tote to get space to set the object down in the tote's place on the coffee table. There is no slamming this thing down, not without risking it breaking, so Judy, even in her anger, takes care when placing it down.
The thing sits in the center of the table like the centerpiece of a dining set, though whatever dining room that could be completed by such a device would look closer to an alchemist's workshop than a proper place to eat.
There are five golden arms that make up the first part of the device, the first one arcing out away from the body of the thing, it distances itself from the rest in more ways than just physical. It has a rigid and mechanical shape, instead of flowing natural contours, and comes to a sharp needle point at the end. The arm has three little mechanical knobs evenly spaced down its length, which are completely unmarked, whatever they are there to calibrate must not be something the user would need precisely measured.
The other four golden arms support the second part of the device, starting from the table they swirl around the center, modeled to look like vines or maybe smoke, tightly securing an orb in place.
The orb itself is almost a foot in diameter and almost completely clear, a few air bubbles or tiny breaks in the crystal structure are scattered through the sphere to mar its perfection, but externally it is perfectly round and smooth.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
“What even-?” The effort of moving the thing, and the sheer bizarreness and obvious expense of the device, throw Judy right back into her initial confusion. “How am I going to explain this to my sub-”
Judy finally looks back into the camera, a guilty expression on her face, reminded that she has an audience. “Well, uhh, I’m confused.” she begins,“ Honestly this is nothing like what I had expected guys. I really should have reviewed what my grandma had left me before recording, huh? Well, it is what it is, and what it is; is my grandma’s last wish.”
She has to pause there and look around the room, seeming to remind herself of where she is. “So even if this is some insane fictitious account, I’m still going to cover it on the channel. I’m sorry if you guys aren't a fan of that. I’ll be ending this first video here so I can take a better look at what we are dealing with for the next one. Remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and pay attention to the mysteries around us. JuJu out.”

Disappears for a week and comes back with an awesome new series. I'm sending prayers for your grandma. I'm sure she's smiling down from heaven watching you do the coolest unboxing ever. I wonder what that thing Juju pulled out from the box was I've never seen anything like it before.
