Keep Moving Forward

JAY CADMIUM'S POV:

I said nothing as Selena explained the circumstances of the situation, meeting her eyes as she finished her monologue.

"I see," I muttered, remaining neutral.

Selena remained silent, understanding the weight of her words.

"I want you to have these, Jay," she finally said. I snapped out of my thoughts, my eyes focusing on the two objects in the Empress's hands.

I reached out and picked up the two shining stones. The first one appeared to be an amulet of sorts, a dark velvet gem imbued in the golden chains.

"It might be of use to you," whispered Selena, a smirk spreading across her face. I let out a long sigh, shaking my head with a smile.

"Are you sure you want me to have this?" I asked. This necklace once belonged to the Emperor of the Dragons and accepting it didn't exactly feel right.
