“Ooh, nice!”
Shalina peered into the box she had just acquired. It was finely crafted and padded with silk on the inside, and in the box lay a… stick? Her grin faded somewhat. Why would someone put a stick in a fancy box?
She weighed it in her hand. There was something odd about it, it seemed heavier than it should be, and something about it made her fingers tingle. Tingle like… magic.
Hmm.
So it was a magic stick? She carefully put the stick back and closed the box. This was a problem for later. Either way she had the stick. And the box. And it was fancy.
