Luca was at my side, shaking my shoulders as if that could help me relax from the pain that had sparked inside my brain after the elf forced me back into my body.

Azuma nodded. "I've seen Ardeen Spellweaver use it before whenever he wanted to enhance his senses before a battle began. It's very expensive. How did you get it?"
"Albert," I said. "He gave it to me."
"Without telling what it was used for?" Azuma asked skeptically.
