An Equal Exchange

Selma Payne's POV:

"A stone tablet that contains the remnants of powerful magic fluctuations." Master Mary showed us the stone tablet in her hand.

It was a stone tablet in Renaissance style, but its pattern was slightly different - thirteen kinds of flowers surrounding a moth with broken wings and fine vines firmly bound them together like a round shield.

The style of the stone tablet was extremely torn. The fresh flowers were beautiful, round, and warm, like a simple drawing left by a young girl in love with romantic thoughts and vitality.

However, the moths were sculpted in a strange and ugly way, like discarded food by sparrows, pecked to pieces by sharp beaks, exuding a strong sense of despair.

I noticed that twelve of the thirteen types of flowers matched the pattern on the red shawl.
