Bloody Lily looked at the ring, studying it for a moment before answering. "It's as if there's a connection, an affinity between us..."
Maelstrom nodded. "Of course, after all, this ring was forged by a blood manipulator. It intensifies his power."
Blood Lily hesitated for a moment, contemplating the ring in the palm of her hand. The pulsating aura of the artifact, combined with Maelstrom's explanation of its power, aroused a curiosity mixed with caution. She slid the ring onto her ring finger and the silver ring settled gently onto her finger, but contrary to expectations, there was no immediate burst of power or sensation. It felt like an ordinary adornment.
The player frowned, examining the artifact while Maelstrom watched with interest.
"Curious, don't you think?" commented the voice of the mysterious guide. "Not all treasures reveal their true potential immediately. Sometimes patience is required."
