Guinevere stood before Kaelen, her fiery presence radiating an intense heat that seemed to distort the air around her. The amulet hung from her hand, its dark silver chain barely noticeable against her scarlet robes. She held it up to Kaelen, the molten gold gemstone at its center swirling with crimson flecks, pulsing as if it had a heartbeat of its own.
General Cao watched silently from the side, his gaze sharp and unreadable. The amulet's glow intensified as Guinevere activated it, the ancient runes along its edges beginning to hum softly, filling the air with a faint, ethereal melody. Kaelen could feel the magic in the amulet reaching out, probing him, searching for something hidden deep within.
