Kane's eyes widened as they moved toward the waiting area, his attention immediately captured by the artifacts surrounding them.
"Oh wow," Kane breathed, approaching a case displaying what appeared to be a crystalline dagger with runes etched along its blade. "Is that—"
"A ceremonial athame from the Third Century," Cyrus finished, settling into one of the leather chairs.
"Worth approximately two million dollars."
Kane's nose practically pressed against the glass as he moved to the next display.
A jade figurine of a coiled dragon caught his attention, its emerald surface seeming to shift and flow like liquid stone.
"And this one?"
"Probably priceless," Cyrus replied, watching Kane with amusement.
Kane continued his exploration, marveling at each piece. A silk scroll gleamed with golden script, a mirror reflected only shadows, and a small wooden box hummed with restrained energy.
His hand drifted toward the case containing the humming box, fingers itching to touch the glass.
