You explore the place. There are old offerings scattered about. Some gold and silver and gems. Not nearly as much as in your dream, but it will do. But that's not all. In the hands of an ancient statue rests a golden short sword that has not withered a single bit over the ages.
It shimmers in the light in all colors of the rainbow as if it was oil. A gem is fitted into its hilt, and you can spot a strange symmetrical pattern glowing inside that gem, like a snowflake made from fire.
You pick up the sword and test its balance. You swing through the air, it whistles and suddenly a bright burst of energy shoots out from it, the burst flies forward until it hits a wall where it detonates in a fiery explosion. The shock wave throws you off your feet and even Krimhild can hear it from the surface.
You get up again and inspect the blade. Not bad at all, this thing. You decide to name the sword "Solstice".
As you inspect it again, you notice the pattern in the gem has been reduced noticeably in its complexity, now that you used it.
You guess that this must be some kind of indicator for its magic.
The blade probably does not have many uses left. Better keep it as a back-up for emergencies only.
