An Apple Witness

"How would that be achieved?" asked the woman with intrigue. Although her voice and face were masked using an artifact, Arthur still found her familiar. However, he did not know such a capable and mature woman in the Yalveran Union.

"We can use this," said Arthur as he picked a red apple from the refreshments on the table. "This apple will serve as our witness and the closest to our hearts as long we are touching it. And if anyone with ill-intentions touch it, it would rot."

The woman was confused, and Markus was bewildered. The concept was simple, but asking the apple to be their witness and thinking that it would rot did not sound like a reality. Thus, they looked at Arthur as if he was crazy.

"…this is just an apple, not an artifact."

"Everything answers if you ask nicely," said Arthur with a grin as he threw the apple in the air and watched it rotate. "And this applies to everything, and instead of an apple, this could be the world."
