Alex was as mystified by the room as Dan was. He squinted at the designs on the floor for a moment, then shook his head. "Hell if I know. I can't see enough detail right now, but I'm not sure I would be able to say anything about it even if I<em>could</em>see it."<br/><br/>"This could be something big Dan. There hasn't been a magical discovery like this in... geez, decades at least. I've never even<em>heard</em>of anything like this! It could be dangerou~ Hey, wait!" Alex shouted as Dan reached towards the crystal. He was too late to stop him though.<br/><br/>The crystals had already begun glowing with a soft light even before Dan touched the one in front of him, but as soon as he did, they both flashed brightly and Dan felt a surge of unquestionably magical power pass through is body, knocking him back onto the floor and momentarily stunning him.<br/><br/>When he came to, he saw that Alex had suffered similarly, and was laying on the floor a few feet away. The crystals were gone, and in their place stood two<em>stunningly</em>beautiful women, both naked save for very similar heavy gold necklaces. They weren't identical by any stretch. Instead, each one seemed custom tailored to the two men's tastes and desires. The woman facing Alex was a tall, statuesque woman with short, dark hair and a sultry expression.<br/><br/>The women walked towards them and reached down to help them up in unison. "Thank you champions, our bodies are your reward."<br/><br/>Alex stared at the dark haired beauty dumbfounded. He was certainly far from a blushing virgin, but it was one thing to score with a pretty woman, and quite another to have the most attractive woman he'd ever seen literally offer herself to him like some kind of trophy.
