King Diggory was summoned, as usual, by a small phantom who appeared quite suddenly in the gardens and informed him that the Ultimate Ghost had urgent news for His Highness.

He did not expect to be immediately handed a silver ring on a black velvet cushion, proffered him by the Armoured Archfiend. a thick band with a leering skull on one end, rubies set into its eye sockets. Magic emanated from it. Unlike most elemental enchantments that felt like wild energy crackling against his palms, the power instilled in this device made him uneasy, even slightly nauseous, as if a threat lingered in the corner of his vision. Its aura pulsed blood red.

"If this is supposed to be a proposal, it is rather sudden..."

"Don't be absurd. I know not to propose to a human using a ring that's saturated with demonic magic," he said, "And besides, I do not have a top hat or a wedding veil. Adventurers stole off with both of them last night!"

"So... ahem... why have I been given said evil artifact?"

"Oh, the demon that enchanted the thing is pretty neutral as long as you pay her," said the Ultimate Ghost, "I apologise that the aura will make you feel a little ill. I am looking into some kind of wards that won't nullify the benefits of the magic. At the moment, it is better than suffering energy drain every time we touch skin to ectoplasm. That is what this thing does - it stops your life force being drained by negative energy. To be precise, it fools your life energy into thinking it is also negative by surrounding it with a buffer zone of..."

"So... we can touch? Without me being in pain?"

"Technically I suffer the effect too, I just have a lot more life energy and better natural wards against such things," he clarified, "But my heart - metaphorically speaking - cannot stand to see you in pain. I had this imported all the way from Darm Tower. In exchange, I had to make a new hat for Lady Zava, hence why I have been so busy lately."

"But you are not busy now?"

"I have nothing scheduled except, of course, to test out this artifact. Our first test run in the actual scenario I made it for."

"I know exactly what you mean. We should get start at once."
