The first piece in a new series - new enough that I haven't fully mapped out or quite distilled my thoughts down into tasty sips yet. What's known: It still wears the idea of the unknown artifact, with time unknown; and perhaps it's as much a "vault" as a box. While it's not as overtly defensive as the "protection sphere" series, it holds what lies within safe, and secret. It's precious, regal, and of course a bit weird.
