The talisman in Victoria's hand glimmered with a faint golden hue, its uniquely textured surface lying somewhere between metal and some kind of crystal. As dim light brushed over it, a thin, shifting halo emerged on its surface—no natural or man-made material known to humans exhibited such a peculiar texture, and Gawain was intimately familiar with them.
This was the material of the Eternal Stone Slate, the same as the remains and fragments surrounding the body of Amoen the Giant Stag, suspected to be left behind by high civilization fleets—an ancient alloy!!
However, the talisman in Victoria's hand was distinctly different from those primordial "fragments": it bore clear marks of human processing, featuring magic symbols utilized by humans, alongside the emblem of the Wilder Clan!
