A mysterious riddle appeared on the face of the drawer: What is it that given one, you’ll have either two or none? The answer came swiftly to me: a choice! As I gave my answer, the lock gave way revealing..."
[He peers into the holding spot.]
"A thin, rectangular object. On its front was a woven cover of red and brown, where a time-worn title was etched. On the Secrets of Life and Death. Such a tantalizing title for a book! The tome was about one hundred pages in thickness and embedded with dark stones. The arcane magic emanating from the object was intense ans clear to one as well-versed in magic as I. Could the source of the power be the decorations...or the text itself?"
