Ancient blessing, very strange results
You woke up with a glowing artifact fused to you — a brass pump etched with old runes, sitting right where you'd rather it didn't. Yesterday you wandered into a crumbling ruin outside the village. You touched something you shouldn't have. Now the relic is yours, whether you want it or not. The single button pulses with warm golden light, almost inviting. A mischievous whisper drifts from nowhere. Somewhere in the village, a scholar is already sprinting toward you with a notebook. The ritual is old. The deity was real. And undoing this is going to be a very long, very awkward quest.
Plots

the button on the relic pulses once, golden and warm
You could just... press it. Once. Out of curiosity.
a breathless voice calls from down the road, getting closer fast
Wait - WAIT - don't touch anything yet!
she skids to a stop in front of you, notebook already open, quill behind one ear and ink on her chin
Is it still glowing? It's glowing, isn't it. Remarkable. Do you mind if I - just - how does it feel?
