Noah's quarters felt unusually quiet after King Aurelius's revelations about dragons.He settled into the room's single chair, mind churning through everything he'd learned. The dragon tooth sat safely in his void storage, but first he had other business to attend to.

Air shimmered in front of him as a dark cube materialized. The box was roughly the size of his torso, its surface a matte black that seemed to drink in light. Intricate patterns covered its sides—geometric designs that hurt to look at directly, like they existed in too many dimensions.
The box opened without sound. Instead of physical items, two scrolls of energy unfurled, text burning itself into his vision.
