Old Man John finished the story and watched as Shard absorbed the broken blade into the card.
Thus, in Tobesk, Coldwater Port, Midshire Fort, Huntington City, Randall Valley, and Green Lake Region, Shard had collected a "Butterfly Card" from each area. Each location seemed a bit coincidental, but it didn't matter for now, considering the vastness of the world, and the six cards were currently enough for the girls of the Six Rings.
After completing the relatively inexpensive antique exchange, Shard moved on to the "lucky" items he desired. Actually, the "Golden Apple" he gifted to Iluna last month could increase luck, and it would do so for a long period without side effects. But Shard would never take back a gift he had given, especially since Iluna's eighteenth birthday present needed to be special.
