Flamma Veritatis Monologue
I wake up covered with hay. I feel something crisp and hard on top of my chest. A small amulet rests, gleaming in the light. I have a red ruby implanted on it, with fire running and dancing through the crystal. It feels warm to the touch. A small engraving reading "Flamma Veritatis" is written on the back.
