The auctioneer cleared his throat, stepping forward as the bidding came to an end. The hall was a whirl of emotions, from awe to excitement, from disbelief to triumph.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice commanding attention, "I must express my deepest gratitude for your enthusiastic participation in this session of Astra Arcane. Your bids have painted a vibrant tapestry of desire and passion, each stroke adding to the allure of the arcane we have unveiled."
He paused, allowing the words to settle before continuing. "However, a word of caution: once the gavel falls, the responsibility for the item, its fate, and its secrets lie with its new possessor. Astra Arcane cannot offer protection or guarantee beyond these halls. What you purchase, you possess fully, for better or for worse."
