Aria studied the globe another moment, but when she tried o grab it, her hand simply passed through; it was purely an optical effect created by illusion magic, and composed of no material beyond light rays. After a moment of consternation, Aria remembered that she still had the atlas tome from the temple library which they'd used as a teleporting aid; she withdrew it, flipping through, and made marks as closely corresponding to the illusion globe as she could.<br/><br/>After gathering up the maps (and breaking apart the valuable chair and table of gold to loot them, much as in the lower chamber) they, as Kass had suggested, visited the construct-workshop chamber again, where the invisible Anya still was keeping herself safe. Aria studied the chest from which she'd sensed a magic aura, and studying herself there was no mechanical trap, tested it, and found it unlocked as well.<br/><br/>Inside lay a tome with a cover composed of bronze, cleverly hinged at the spine, under several small metalworking tools, and a gold amulet. This last radiated the magic; the chain was of bronze, so too the pendant shaped remarkably like a miniaturized version of the gold dragon construct nearby. Aria eyed the construct warily as she donned the monocle and studied the amulet for a moment before actually touching it. When she did lift it, she noted its great eyes snapping open, and following the amulet as it rose, but the rest of the great golden-scaled body kept a perfect stillness almost unachievable by living organisms.<br/><br/>Aria smiled. "When I divined of the amulet just now, I learned what you must suspect already - to possess the amulet is to possess the construct."<br/><br/>She stared at the dragon thoughtfully, and her hazel eyes moved about - and as they did, the snout of the dragon moved to the points in the air as she willed.<br/><br/>She offered it to Kass. "Try it. Telepathy after a fashion, though it doesn't seem to have enough fo a mind of its own for there to be any 'voice' back to speak of. It almost feels more like a magic item than a creature in its own right. Bet it could even be flown."
