When the half-beasts entered the first chamber of the village's main building, they were astonished at all the wealth of culture that seed lost in that place.
For redith it was just an interesting fact to have sothing so old in such a remote place, even more so because this village could have existed for thousands of years, thanks to the low temperature of the place. However, to Luke it all seed really fascinating, and the half-fox only noticed because he had his mouth open while looking at everything with his eyes shining.
She smiled at seeing him so interested. 'He's been so quiet and tense the last few days. It's really refreshing to see him so engrossed in sothing other than his own thoughts.'
Luke walked ahead without waiting for redith, until he stopped in front of a large panel that joined several stone blocks together. On the edges of this stone panel were strange designs, or rather runes that were completely distorted, and in the center was an illustration of a crescent moon.
Before he even touched the moon, Luke felt sothing strange. Old mories were returned to his consciousness, causing him a mixed feeling of strangeness with familiarity.
At that mont, he recalled the sight of a woman on his back and her soft voice that was strangely familiar to him. This woman's face had thin features, her hair was yellowish like the petals of sunflowers, and on her back was the sa symbol of the crescent moon that was drawn on this wall of this chamber.
Curious, he touched the moon.
redith saw Luke touch the drawing and also saw him remain static for many seconds. His eyes were fixed on the moon figure, at the sa ti as his body was paralyzed.
In the half-wolf's mind, everything was even stranger. The instant he touched the figure, his consciousness was covered by a dense snow, as if he was waking up after sleeping for a long, long ti. Initially, his fingertips touching the figure began to tingle, then he could feel this sa sensation all over his arm.
He couldn't think of anything too complex, like wondering what was happening to him, he was just existing in a deep nothingness.
Sohow he knew that this feeling, this feeling of strangeness, was fleeting and that it shouldn't last more than a few seconds. When the fog in his mind finally cleared, he felt every muscle in his body pulsing and a voice resounded in his mind, telling him:
[You are close to finding out, but it is not yet ti. In the future, offer an unbreakable promise, and I will help you with any goal you desire].
After the soft voice spoke this, he recognized it as the voice of the blonde woman he t in one of his waking dreams. Luke couldn't tell if these strange visions and sensations were being caused by his curse, or if sothing greater was really watching over him.
Right after the woman's ssage, Luke woke up with a weird feeling, as if there was sothing stuck in his throat that he wanted to talk about.
Sweating, he looked at the half-fox behind him. redith was looking at him with a bit of fright and fear, for he had only been staring at the moon figure for a few seconds, only now he was suddenly panting and wide-eyed.
"Are you okay, Luke!?" She asked.
With his hand on his throat, he tried to say sothing, but the second his vocal cords quivered to produce a sound, he felt sothing brake them. There was definitely sothing in his throat.
So he put one hand against his throat, bent forward, and began to try to expel whatever it was.
redith quickly noticed all this. "Are you choking on sothing!?" She ran up behind the half-wolf, who, although he tried to deny it with his left hand, could not stop her.
From behind, she put her two hands together at the height of his abdon and pressed three tis.
Suddenly, Luke expelled sothing shiny, which fell to the floor of the dark chamber. They imdiately focused on that strange object, whose brightness ranged from very intense to almost nil. In addition, the white glowing object emitted a kind of low buzzing sound, but in that chamber it echoed in the stillness.
The half-wolf ca closer, and saw that this object was a rather unusual looking brooch. The brooch was shaped like the head of a wolf with long ears and an elongated snout.
"Urgh! Luke, when did you swallow that?" The half-fox asked, finding the whole situation strange.
He turned quickly to look at her. "I-I didn't swallow that thing...probably."
With his attention returned to the brooch, he slowly moved his hand closer to take it. As soon as the half-wolf touched the brooch, the glow beca more intense, the buzzing louder, and the object began to vibrate in Luke's palm.
[Gods Tuner found.]
This ti the voice that resonated within the half-wolf's mind was different from the others. The voice that was normally soft and feminine, this one ti was a thick and masculine voice.
redith noticed that Luke paled once again as he picked up the tal brooch. "Luke, Luke! Wake up, Luke!" She shook him, in desperation.
The half-fox already knew that Luke was cursed, so she was always wary when he acted differently than normal.
Just as redith called out to him, Luke returned from his state of surprise. "I heard a different voice..." He stated.
"Huf... Are you okay? What do you an a different voice?"
"You know when we acquire a new Gene Skill? So people say they hear a female voice, for others it's a male voice."
"I know, I know. I heard a female voice when you gave that skill as a gift."
"Normally, I would listen to a female voice too. But I heard a male voice when I played this..." The brooch was still in his hand, and it no longer vibrated or glowed.
"Wait, you touched this and the voice resonated? What is that? Maybe you mistook it for a core, ate it, and your stomach didn't digest it?"
"I-I wouldn't swallow a blow job. I know how to differentiate it from a Monster Core." He blushed. "The voice said that's a Gods Tuner, I don't know what that ans."
"Gods Tuner?" The half-fox arched his eyebrows, because he rembered sothing. "I think I've read about that sowhere."
