“What? Don’t tell me the Feathered Serpent already…” Sylvia Underwood immediately asked.

“Appeared the very next day after you left for that whatever the Gate Office wanted out of you,” the man offered apologetically.

“And of course, everyone jumped on it.”

“It’s a race. Two entry-level Artefacts are nothing to sneeze at. The faster it goes down, the faster it comes back,” Mark said.

“Well, my life. Anything good?”

The team’s Competing Mauler pulled out something from his bag and threw at her. She reflexively caught the smooth sphere.

Opaline Nacre Orb

Artefact

Requires: Level 118

Sylvia sighed at seeing the orb.

“For one second, I thought you’d won something,” she said.

“You’re not there, you don’t qualify for the treasure. That’s the rule for everyone. Hope whatever the Office paid you was worth it. Because that’s all the consolation prize you’re getting.”

“Well, at least you got me something.”

“You could start a collection of the things. They do look pretty after all.”

Sylvia Underwood looked more carefully at the legendary orb. And the abbreviated treasure descriptor.

“Maybe I should.”
