She quietly tiptoed through the ancient temple, planning to steal the powerful artifact everyone has been talking about.
"Ho ho, this will get me a fortune!" she thought with a bright smile
The local thief made her way through the temple when she spotted it. The centuries old artifact, sitting there in the middle of the temple on a small cushioned altar. Her knowledge of it was lacking. It's just a small locket! she thought, not knowing the power it possessed. And it seems fate wasn't on her side either, after all today was the one day in a hundred years when the locket could share its power. Without a second thought she grabbed it and as soon as her fingers touched it the air shifted... Some ancient runes carved itself into the walls with gold ink and the stars on the night sky shone down right on top of her as if speaking. The locket pulsed like a heartbeat, it's golden magic dissolving through her wrist and into her body, leaving faint golden marks all over her right hand, the hand holding the locket. She staggered back, gripping her wrist with the other hand. What did she get herself into?
On the other side
Miles away, on the North of the kingdom on the courtyard of the castle of Vaelirs, a powerful influential family. Not just because of their status but because of their vow to the gods to protect the sacred artifacts from falling in the wrong hands.
His hand paused on the sword just as he was about to strike the dummy. The bond broke. He felt it He immediately called for his guards
"Someone stole the The Celestium Lumen. Bring them to me immediately before they do something bad with it!!" His eyebrows furrowed in worry, since his family dedicated their whole life to protecting these artifacts. The guard immediately jumped to work, leaving the North to bring the thief to justice

He was sitting on his deceased father's throne, toying with his sword in boredom when the knights barged in, dragging her inside while she protested
"No! I didn't do anything!! Let me go!!!"
"So you're the thief, huh... Alright, enough games. Give it back." His voice was firm. Clearly not wanting to waste time with a peasant thief
