"I don't know."

"Yeah, what is this?"
"Not sure. My father's mining company recently discovered it on one of those islands. After the tests we ran we're pretty sure it's faestone though."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"A metal with a few magic properties. Very valuable."
"Very rare! And my father now owns one of the few known mines. Think of what we could do with this."

"I don't know."
