Trunk, Sword and Elixir

Below the weathered floorboards, a stunning filigree trunk comes into view. Intricate bolts decorating the front of the chest draw your eye to the majestic padlock they encircle. Winged handles fixed to the body add an aura of mystery to the object. A nearby elixir beckons you closer, with sounds of distant whispers echoing beneath the surface. Your eyes focus on its shape, scrutinizing the edges that form a demonic claw at its peak, grasping an ethereal orbed cork. The clouded glass bottle wraps around the gold filigree detailing, tainting it with a sense of impurity and demonstrating the struggle to contain the evils within. You pull on the orb, removing the cork and tasting the liquid within. Visions flash before you, unlocking distant memories of foreign ritual, all linked to the same ancient blade. Wings surrounding the sacred sword pierce the skin of foes, driving them into the spirit realm. A bevel across the blade adds a delicate feather to the wings. At its centre, an obscure, unearthly jewel leaves you questioning how you have recognised this alien weapon.
