Later that day...
"So, what do you want to do tomorrow, Jack?" Sophia asks before going to bed. (Of course, she and I are staying in different rooms.)
"I kinda want to go to the black market again," I reply.
"Huh, why?" Sophia asks, confused.
It's because we need better Chameleon Earrings. The ones we have right now are good, but not good enough, as they can be easily detected by experienced enchanters. If a Master Enchanter utilizes Enchanter's Sight, they can see through our disguises.
However, just before I can reply to her, my vision is suddenly hit with the image of a giant reptilian eye, and then, a mysterious force pulls my attention to my left pocket.
"Jack, what's wrong?" Sophia asks, probably noticing that something isn't right.
I reach into the pocket, and there it is: the mysterious card, or as Sophia called it, the Basilisk's Invitation.
"Oh shit…" Sophia is in shock upon seeing that. We both freeze for a split second.
