Little Miss Bookworm, your other half says it’s bedtime.
Esu loves giving Tiya gifts, but usually in the form of neat rocks, flowers, and so on - not magical artifacts. And certainly not ones that reek of dark magic. In the shaman’s defense, Tiya’s been studying terrible magics, thus the idea behind the gift is, “You’re studying Void stuff, so maybe you’ll find a use for this?” As it happens, the orb reveals rippling purple and red clouds of malignance and pulses with energy that can only be described as imperative, so naturally Tiya wants to study it. Albeit, for more reasons than simple arcane curiosity.
Upon gifting the orb, Esu let slip that she’d procured it from a warlock who’d set upon her with harmful intent. Thoughts of ‘who would dare’ came to mind, and not just with regard to thoughts of retaliation. Having stopped many schemes before, both Tiya and Esu had enemies all over the world, but none had such austere designs as to harass nemeses walking a road in The Barrens. Esu dispatched her adversary without issue, but Tiya wished she’d investigated the man’s identity or allegiance rather than simply nick his swirling orb. Failing a person of interest, the mage kept the orb in her study. She’d discover whom it belonged to eventually; the trick was keeping the ensuing conversation between her and them civil.
She keeps it just outside her peripheral vision when sitting at her desk so it won’t distract her, but her sense of wonder gets the better of her with occasional glances. Tiya recalls how the stone she was given by a Void Priest awakened her sense to see and feel through the lens of others. Can that knowledge be used with this orb to discover its secrets? Every few nights, she’s awake, pondering this and attempting to attune to the orb until she invariably hears a knock.
“Hey,” Esu chides, poking her head in. “It’s, like… four in the morning.”

No story for this one! That's coming with Part Two of this saga~! The... Orb Saga. No, that sounds silly...
