My ring...?
For a brief moment, my mind paused as I subconsciously lowered my head to stare at the inconspicuous black ring on my finger. I blinked my eyes slowly before raising my head again and staring at the man before me.
His next words made my face freeze.
"That's the Ring of Nothingness, correct?"
How...?
How did he know?
"It looks a little different from what I remember, but I'm almost certain that it is."
His lips pulled into a smile as he looked at me.
"So? Would you mind giving it to me?"
I didn't reply. Instead, I scanned my surroundings. Captain Albas stood nearby, flanked by the Madhound and another figure I didn't fully recognize. Despite not knowing them, I could feel a subtle yet powerful pressure emanating from each of them, their earlier fatigue now fading away.
As they began to recover, I noticed several runes shifting and warping across the surface of the man's book.
'The book can help them recover, too?'
I started to feel a certain itch.
