The Other Three Artifacts

Morning arrived with a golden hue filtering through the frost-covered windows, but Seraphina was already awake.

She had barely gotten any sleep after what happened with the Moonlit Stone during night. Even after the artifact calmed down, its magic didn't disappear like in the past, but actually settled down into a quiet hum. 

She tried returning it to Lucian, but he told her to keep it with her. So the Moonlit Stone was now sitting inside the system's inventory along with her Seven Elemental Stone.

Lucian was already dressed when she sat up. His eyes followed her closely as she turned her full attention to him. "You have barely slept. Look at your panda eyes." He teased as he made his way to her and settled down beside her.

Seraphina exhaled slowly, giving him a tired look. Now that he had said it, she could actually feel how tired she was after barely getting any sleep during the night.
