"Please work…"
Hal, with bloodshot eyes, picked up a strange-looking goggle artifact with real, preserved eyes of a Pantheran.
He then equipped it over his head and strapped the loose ends of what seemed to be optic nerves together.

Unfortunately, the moment he wore it…
"DAMN IT!!" he cursed, utterly weary and exhausted after an entire day and night of working that only resulted in a final product that made him as blind as a bat in mid-morning instead.
Yesterday and the day before, he spent the whole day crafting artifacts he could sell to Wanzin's Arcane Emporium to warm up, mostly utility-type ones, all in preparation for today.
