The object seemed to be an insect beast's husk, yet it radiated something far beyond ordinary energy.
They stood without needing to be told.
They approached.
One by one, the dwarven elders circled the husk.
Their eyes scanned it.
Their senses probed it.
And then…
The Rune Dwarf elder froze.
His eyes widened.
"This…" he muttered.
He took a step back.
"Such dense Spatial energy…" he said, his voice trembling slightly with disbelief.
The others turned to him.
Now their curiosity intensified.
One of the Mountain Dwarves reached out and touched the surface of the husk. The moment his fingers made contact, his expression changed. A sharp reaction flickered across his face and he withdrew his hand instantly.
"What is this?" he said, staring at his fingers.
A faint tingling pain lingered.
Another elder tried.
Then another.
Each one experienced the same result.
The material resisted them.
