Video - Amulet of Time: A Pickpocket's Redemption

In the shadowed alleys of Verenthia, Alaric, a nimble pickpocket, spotted an unusual glint—a ruby amulet dangling from a noblewoman's neck. He felt an inexplicable pull and, with deft fingers, snatched it. As the chain snapped, a chill surged through him, and the world blurred, unraveling like a tapestry. Suddenly, Alaric stood in a bustling market of a bygone era. People in strange attire bustled around, unaware of his presence. Confused yet fascinated, he approached a woman with striking resemblance to the noblewoman. "Return the amulet," she whispered, her eyes pleading yet knowing. Realizing the amulet's power, Alaric hesitated, then handed it back. Instantly, the world righted itself, and he was back in the alley, the woman gone. A sense of peace, unfamiliar yet welcome, settled within him. From that day, Alaric's nimble fingers found new purpose, weaving stories of hope and change.
