The snake glanced at Skyler, then at the floating marble-like artifact. She narrowed her gaze, staring at it intently. Even though she didn't know much about treasures, she could tell the artifact would benefit her.
Riruru looked at him one last time.
'For me?'
Skyler chuckled, a low sound, as he heard her voice, strangely pleasant, in his mind.
"Yes, for you. You need to get stronger."
She turned back to the marble, a touch of hesitation in her eyes. The cold emanating from the artifact bothered her, but she still moved out of his jacket, accepting his help as he held her towards the marble. As soon as she touched the artifact, it vibrated with cold Evol. Immediately, the floating marble scattered into silver patterns that etched themselves onto the sides of her head.
Skyler's lips lifted into a smile.
Satisfied, he walked back toward Alfanzo, who was watching him, feeling regret that such a good artifact was gone to a beast who wouldn't even know its full potential.
