Franks Casket
Franks casket, year 700s.The Franks Casket (or the Auzon Casket) is a small Anglo-Saxon whale's bone chest from the early 8th century. The casket is densely decorated with knife-cut narrative scenes in flat two-dimensional low-relief and with inscriptions mostly in Anglo-Saxon runes. Generally reckoned to be of Northumbrian origin, it is of unique importance for the insight it gives into early Anglo-Saxon art and culture. Both identifying the images and interpreting the runic inscriptions has generated a considerable amount of scholarship.

After weeks of searching, Charissa finally stumbled upon the hidden chamber where the witch accumulator was kept. The room was filled with cobwebs and shadows, giving it an eerie atmosphere. But Charissa paid no mind to the creepy surroundings; her eyes were fixed on the prize. As she approached the artifact, Charissa could feel its power radiating through the air. It seemed to pulse with energy, eagerly awaiting its next master. With trembling hands, she reached out and touched the witch accumulator. Within seconds, Charissa was engulfed in a blinding light. The room shook, and the very ground beneath her feet began to tremble. It seemed that she had become one with the powerful energies of the accumulator. But as suddenly as it had begun, the light and the tremors stopped. Charissa looked around, expecting to see the full extent of her newfound power. However, she was shocked to find that the witch accumulator had shattered into pieces. As she examined the broken artifact, Charissa realized that her intense excitement and eager touch had been too much for the fragile reliquary to handle. In her haste to harness its power, she had unintentionally destroyed the very thing she had sought after for so long. Charissa slumped to the ground in disappointment. She had come so far, but now it seemed that her dreams of becoming a powerful witch were shattered just like the accumulator. She had learned a valuable lesson about the importance of patience and caution in the pursuit of magic. However, as she sat there in the dimly lit room, Charissa couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. She may have destroyed the witch accumulator, but she still possessed her own innate magic. Perhaps she didn't need the artifact after all. With renewed determination, Charissa vowed to continue on her journey to become a powerful witch, relying on her own skills and abilities..
