I looked around us, my senses honed as much as man's could be in the dense jungle. Birds chirped and small critters scuttled or stares with bright eyes amongst the trees and foliage, but otherwise there seemed to be no danger. My eyes then fell on Emmaline, her blonde hair like a beacon in the scant moonlight of the dark. 

"Um," I said, pointing at the glorious jewel in her hand. "What is that, babe?" 

"I don't know, I just found it." She said. We had only been together for perhaps close to a month, but we had also spent almost every waking hour together save for small trips to relieve ourselves, seeing as we had been in constant danger (or dates) since we met. And I felt I knew her fairly well, and for all my knowledge, even knowing she was a pretty capable actress, she wasn't lying. 

"Oh... that is weird," I said, looking around to see if there was any trace or reason for her find. "Ok, just don't show anybody else at the campsite you found that ok? Did you find the source of the light, by the way?" 

"Nope, but it looks like it's gone. Let's head back to camp!" She said, enthused. I laughed and shrugged. 

"Sure, let's head back. We'll be in Darkwater tomorrow, I think. You'll like the city, I know. Plenty of places to take a bath." I turned to lead the way back, and she slipped the silver chained gem over her head to rest against her slim neck and bosom.

Forged Ten Millennia ago beyond the barriers of the world, this amulet is granted to the most faithful elven servants of Vanadessë, elven goddess of beauty and light. The wearer gains an affinity for light and celestial magic, and grows more elven in form over time. Useful for blinding or searing opponents or causing things to get shinier, from dangerous to mundane. One might also enter the elven dream realm when asleep, as well as needing less sleep to function. More rarely, the elven goddess herself bestows great wisdom in times of need.
