As Alex's hand neared the shine coming from beneath the pile of soul orbs, he couldn't help but feel his heart rate increase.
The closer he got, the more intense the energy pulsing within came.
The orb was larger than all the others — by at least twice the margin — and it shimmered with a blend of deep gold and vibrant purple hues.
"Is that what I think it is…?"
Alex once again spoke out loud, whispering to himself this time.
His voice was barely audible, but Mira and Rothwind still heard him clear as day.
They had already figured out by now that he was fiddling with his details, but were still curious to know what had him so locked in.
Alex had a hunch that he knew what this soul orb was the moment he saw the colours.
Gold and purple — colours that usually signified royalty back in the middle ages, since gold was a precious ore, while purple used to signify wealth since it was such an expensive colour.
