Inside the stone box lay a piece of broken, irregular gold, its surface bearing some patterns, as if it had been dismantled from a wall.
Mira looked puzzled, unable to see the significance of a piece of gold being worshipped as a holy artifact.
Unless...
Suddenly Mira thought of something. She looked up and saw Anos staring intently at the piece of gold, with a hint of greed flickering in her eyes.
The girl got startled and quickly closed the box.
Could the gold inside this stone box possess some strange magic power?
Mira couldn't help but think of the 'Heavenly Descending Gem' mentioned in the scriptures.
Anos slowly averted her gaze, seemingly unaware of her own unusual behavior just moments before.
"The origin of this piece of gold... what could it be?"
The princess bit her finger lightly, murmuring softly.
Then, after catching Mira's eye, she smiled and spoke,
"Mira, perhaps we are thinking along the same lines."
