I glanced at the items but only one seemed interesting to me. It was a black jewel that could be put in a ring, bracelet, or necklace. As I walked up to it, I was only given an your level is too low to view what this item does. You must awaken it to see what it will grant you based on who you are. Value is 2,000,000 Gold.
This was the first time I have seen a value on any of the items. I decided to save it and relook at the other options one last time.
"Save the black jewel for me to look at again" I said.
It moved over to the spot near the cloak. I continued to look at the other items but again I didn't see anything else that I liked. I turned around and looked at the saved two items. I could go with a cloak that would allow me to cast buffs and somehow would grow with me as I leveled or I could risk it and take an unknown gem that was worth a lot of money and would grant me things based on who I am.
I pulled up the information again.
Cloak of spells, Grants the wearer the ability to cast either Aid, Fireball or Wish twice per rest. Spells may be used on you or a party member. Color Dark Blue.
Black Jewel of ???, Grants the wearer something based on who you are. Color Jet Black Value: 2,000,000 Gold
I really needed to think about this. My experience playing these kinds of Role Playing Games, told me that to be able to cast those spells will make me very useful in the future but that jewel was really calling to me. I knew I could probably find items that did what the cloak would do but the jewel who knows what it could do. It was a huge gamble if I decided to go for it. I also had to remember that whatever I picked it is supposed to be one of the few items that will grow with me. If those spells were the base level for that cloak, you have to wonder what will be available to me when I level up a lot more in the near future.
*** Warning you have 15 minutes left to decide before being teleported back to your previous destination***
"Wait a second!" I yelled, "No one said there was a time limit to choosing."
I started to panic a bit. I wanted to think hard about these two choices but now I was given a time limit so choose my item. Which should I choose, the cloak that can only get better with time or the huge gamble of having the black jewel and its mystery abilities that should grow with me over time. I was drawn to the jewel but I knew that I should take the cloak. All good and proper vampires must have a good and fitting cloak. Right?
***Meanwhile back at the seethe***
We have Jin Woo, Georgina, Micheal and Cain in Lilith's room talking.
"Cain, do you think the master is ok?" Georgina asked. "I can sense a touch of panic coming from her. That is not like her right?"
"I didn't see anything that should worry her or us at this time." Micheal spoke up.
"I should never of let her leave without someone following her or acting as a personal guard. I am sorry Cain but you are not enough. You were with her when she vanished in a flash of light. That could of been a spell to blind you and she is now kidnapped. Georgina is now feeling the Master panic. What about you? You should be bound to her the closest so what do you feel that she is feeling right now?" Jin Woo asked and demanded answers.
Cain lowered his head, he knew he messed up when he was too far away to reach his master before the light went away. When he tried to use their bond and see thru her eyes, all he saw was darkness and a very powerful force shoved him out of her and it overloaded most of the bond. He was worried for her but could still feel her emotions. They started out confused, then annoyed, then upset, then puzzled, and now panic.
Taking a deep breath, "What I can tell you is I tried to use the bond when she first disappeared and it caused a backlash in the bond. She is alive and not hurt, that much I do know. Her emotions are coming through clear as day for me but I cant connect speech wise with her. She started out confused, then annoyed, then upset, then puzzled, and now panic. Georgina, Master is one of the most powerful vampires in existence from what I have been told and know. Also you know what happens if they try anything to her. You saw what happens if someone tries to collar her or make her a slave. Micheal sees nothing that we should worry about at this time so I have faith in her that she will be fine. Jin Woo, good luck trying to have someone follow or escort Master anywhere when she doesn't want to be followed. You are right though, I am not enough. I am a nobody compared to you and her BUT she choose me to go along with her. She doesn't need a protector or a babysitter. What she needs is to have people she trusts around her. She left with her friends that she would trust her life with. She was fine until they were forced to split up. It was when the Fay left and she was alone that this all happened."
*** Meanwhile back with Lilith***
"Which do I choose?" I mumbled to myself.
***You have 1 minute remaining to decide***
"OK, I am out of time," I said and sighed. "I think I know which one I will take. I choose the cloak."
***15 seconds left please grab the item you wish to take with you.***
"WAIT WHAT!!! GRAB IT!!!" I yelled startled.
***10***
I was away from the items and turned to run towards the cloak.
***5***
Almost there...
***3***
"Shit, not going to make it" I thought to myself.
***2***
***1***
Reaching out I grabbed what I could reach as the area started going black and then slowly I came back to the village. Looking down in my hand to see what I managed to grab I was shocked.
