Valley of the Dark Springs

Ethan was in his office, staring out the window as his mind meticulously analyzed every possible course of action. The promise he had made to Neith was on his mind, a promise he could only fulfill if he obtained the amulet called Dyed. It was a promise he had to keep, but he knew that time was not on his side, and every day that passed without action was a lost opportunity in the frantic race for control over the new trends.

Several days had passed since he returned home. The situation in his company was stable, and the production of magical batteries continued normally, thanks to his skeletons programmed for their production. The only difference now was that these skeletons operated with ordinary human workers around them without any issues. The revelation of magic to the world was a hidden blessing for Ethan, as it now allowed him to implement several of his previously discarded ideas due to the now defunct possibility of revealing the truth to the world.
