"It is. Are you in or not?"
Jude entered the cave and returned shortly with four packs of honey flavored candy. He laid them all in front of the beetles before continuing.
"If you want this, you need to bring something to me. It doesn't have to be food. It could also be something strange and unusual, like this."
He carefully brought out the Gloom Obsidian and showed it to the big beetle, the beetle leader, for now. The leader moved closer to the stone and circled it several times. Could they find something like this? If so, it would be a good idea to do them a favor here. After sweeping the supermarket, he had a lot of candy, and giving a few packs away would not even make a dent in it.
"This is just a gift. I'm giving it to you hoping that you will bring me something good in the future."
Jude handed the four packs of candy to the beetle leader, whose eyes gleamed. The leader turned and walked away, stroking his chin with his front legs, seemingly lost in thought.
