A beautifully crafted green gem. A deep, rich color that immediately reminded anyone of the vibrant, lush forest. Gentle mana surrounded it carefully like a cradle, giving out a soft, green glow that shone upon the velvet line of the box.
And the moment my eyes laid on it, my heart beat so fast I thought I would get a heart attack.
"Sweetheart?"
Natha's voice snapped me out of my daze, and only then did I realize I was breathing heavily.
"Amarein..." I took a sharp breath. "I think we need to call Amarein."
I closed the box again, still feeling my heart beating fast. While Natha went out to contact the druid tribe, I hugged my babies to try and calm down. Jade even stroked my back, even though he was very confused about my state.
Honestly, I was confused too. This physical reaction was actually out of my will--not because of shock or anxiety. It was like I had just ingested energy drinks with a high dose of caffeine.
