[EPIC FLOOR REWARD CHEST]
Kael rubbed his hands together as he studied the notification.
Andre's concern deepened. "Why do ya look like that?"
"I enjoy opening reward chests." He said.
"The way ya said that made it sound criminal."
"For how hard that shit was to get, it better sound like that."
Kael lifted the lid.
Golden light poured into the workshop, reflecting from every metal surface and filling the room for several seconds. Kael leaned forward while Andre moved close enough to look over his shoulder. When the light faded, they both stared into the chest.
"That's it?" Andre asked.
"Apparently."
Kael reached inside and removed an amulet. A thin dark-silver chain held a skull no larger than the end of his thumb. The craftsmanship was exceptional. Its polished surface reflected the forge light, while deliberate shadows had been worked into the silver around the jaw and temples. Two tiny emeralds rested inside the eye sockets, each giving off a faint green glow.
