In our world there are objects that go by the name "Relics".

Not antiques or items of classical art, no: they can be tools with special powers created by mighty ancients or magicians, or objects that have absorbed human grudges or natural spiritual powers, after being exposed to them for a long time.

For instance, a stone that brings good luck, a doll whose hair grows night after night, a mirror that shows your future appearance, a sword that brings ruin to anyone who draws it.

Everybody has most likely heard of their existence as they appear in countless fairy tales and rumors.

However, people consider them mere fantasies because they have not seen them, they do not notice them even if they are right before their eyes, and they believe in some sort of coincidence if something mysterious occurs.

Some feel unconcerned, while others are certain such things do not exist.

Regrettably though, Relics are closer to us than we may think.

Whether they bring good or ill fortune is up to the one who chooses to use them.
