This amulet, if the stories were true then it is the cursed amulet of atriech, it is rumoured that the amulet slowly drives you mad from corruption while it gives you what you desire….

As I picked the amulet up I could hear a voice in the back of my mind… a burning voice… and suddenly I could imagine what the voice was saying even if I couldn’t understand it… I tried to ignore it best I could as I prepared to leave the Tomb

Images of gorgeous women appeared but I only desired my wife , so these would not tempt me , I could feel there touch…. But I knew I had to keep going to leave this place

Then suddenly crystals and gold flooded my mind , it would be nice but I already made well enough from my work that we lived comfortably, what need do I have for a mansion…. Or riches … I did not desire that either… the burning feeling in the back of my mind grew… the voice was almost becoming more discernible , I could feel frustration coming from the amulet

Next I seen myself growing old with my wife , however I knew this temptation was a lie , if the stories were true then this amulet would kill mr from madness before I ever got old…. The spirit inside was becoming desperate … the voice started to sound like a grinding angry “whyyyyyy” I could only imagine it wanted to know why nothing it offered tempted me , I wondered… would it eventually find something to tempt me I would want? Could it read my thoughts as I had them now…. No… the voice didn’t seem to react to my thoughts just my actions….

I wonder can it hear me speak…. “ you know I do quite like nature…. “ I spoke the words out loud even though I was alone in this tomb , suddenly it showed me a secluded forest with a home…. So I guess it can hear me then.

I paused for a moment to think , I knew I had to be near the entrance despite the amulet trying to tempt me, and as I arrived I had a thought…

“ my greatest desire…. Is to put this amulet in my cabinet with my other artifacts” I spoke it aloud so the spirit would hear it

For a moment no images appeared…. I figured I had confused it , then suddenly an image of me putting the amulet in my cabinet appeared, if I took this temptation then it would lose … did it know this? Or was it a trick…. But before I could decide the burning feeling receded the amulet felt…. Inert …. Did I win?

I continued on my path home… and I wondered… maybe… maybe it didn’t need to spend all its time in a cabinet if it was inert…
