Stones or Experiments
Walking into his laboratory, Viladore took off his coat before it floated itself over the top coat rack and hung itself. A luminous orb lit up the room as he sat down at his desk and waved his hand over a black cube.
“Greetings, master,”
“Hello.” Viladore leaned on his desk over the black cube with a warm smile. “Can you do it yet?”
“No, master.” The black cube responded as tiny black crystal eyes peeked from the top of it, gazing up at Viladore.
“Oh ok, keep trying. Soon we can try some different materials, then maybe you’ll be able to sense mana.” Viladore looked at the black cube lovingly. His current project.
“Thank you, master.”
Viladore only stared back at it, while it seemed to await orders for a moment before its black crystal eyes lowered back into its cube body, forming a perfect seam.
