"This crystal...could fetch a fortune. Enough to buy a small territory, if auctioned properly."
The Auction Master began, choosing his words carefully.
Bruce raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
The master continued, "But, it will cause a stir. If you have more of these, you must be careful. Many would kill for something like this."
Bruce gave a small nod.
"I will relay this to my young master," he said.
The master pressed a token into Bruce's hand. "If you ever wish to auction it, bring this directly to me. Do not speak of it to others."
Bruce pocketed the token and bowed again before heading back to the village.
As he walked, he thought about the master's words.
Their village's future might just change because of this strange stone.
And it was all because of Kyle.
Bruce smiled a little to himself.
He couldn't wait to report back.
Their young master was truly something else.
