The Auction Begins

As the auction started the first item was brought out on cart with a small tray that was covered by a silk sheet by a man in a waiter uniform who quickly left after pushing the cart to the center of the stage. 

The woman running the auction walked to the cart and placed her hands on the silk sheet as she turned back to the audience. 

"And for our first item I present...This diamond necklace!" 

As she said this, she pulled back the sheet revealing a sparkling necklace with a large number of gems that glittered under the stage's lights. 

"Now this necklace is not just for decoration, it has also been enchanted to defend against one lethal strike equivalent to anything under the strike from a silver core mage." 

One the necklace was first revealed only a few of the woman in the audience had given much care since the people of this room could easily get jewelry anywhere and they had been quite disappointed with the first item.
