“Your friend has likely possessed the artifact for a while now,” Skylar explained gravely.” Unfortunately, it’s too late to save him. The artifact can only be destroyed after his passing. Destroying it now would be fatal.”
She, too, desired to save him, but the window of opportunity had closed. His friend had unknowingly sacrificed himself through prolonged contact with the artifact.
The weight of the situation pressed down on Alexander. With a heavy sigh, he conceded, ” Alright.”
John, whispering to Joe, expressed his worry, “Aren’t you concerned about being affected?”
Joe, ever nonchalant, replied coolly, “Worried? I’m with Skylar every day.”
John internally cursed his question. Was it a subtle brag or a genuine expression of their relationship? Regardless, it was enviable.
Recognizing the potential benefits of a good relationship with Skylar, John, a shrewd strategist, formulated a plan. He recalled Steven’s employment at a tech company he had invested in. Rumors of funding shortages reached his ears.
John decided to call the company’s head honcho tomorrow. After all, building good relationships was always a wise investment for the future.
Meanwhile, Alexander arranged for the artifact’s return and planned to visit his friend in the next couple of days.

Skylar possessed a stockpile of these amulets, courtesy of Viola. While Skylar could craft them herself, Viola had instructed her that creating them for others was restricted by certain conditions– she couldn’t create them for others unless the timing was right.
After her rebirth, Skylar received a letter from Viola indicating that the time had come. However, hesitant to take unnecessary risks with Alexander, she opted to give him one of Viola’s pre–made amulets.
John, rubbing his nose, hesitantly inquired, “What about us?” Though young, he wasn’t eager for a shortened lifespan or even a sniffle.
Caleb, unconcerned, focused solely on Alexander’s well–being.
Joe, a silent observer with one hand in his pocket, watched Skylar handle the situation. In these moments, she seemed to radiate an undeniable charm.
Skylar addressed John’s concern. “Mr. Gardner, you’ll face minimal effects. Prioritize outdoor activities and rest well. Nightmares might occur occasionally, but they’re nothing serious. I can create amulets for you and Caleb.”
Caleb puffed out his chest, a young man brimming with bravado. “Just nightmares? That’s a breeze! A man like me fears nothing!”
His courage far surpassed John’s, who responded with a stern look. “This blockhead!”
Skylar, relieved, retrieved two pre–made amulets from her bag. “Here, take these for now.”
Turning to Alexander, she explained, “Mr. Gardner Senior, this artifact is attuned to its owner and must be returned.”
“Return it?” Alexander’s brow furrowed. How could he return something that might cost his
friend’s life?
