Chapter 1: The Pupils at the Scrapyard

The backyard of The Scrap Station was choked with a half-inch layer of yellow mud. Rain dripped from the eaves, sending murky ripples dancing through the sludge. The air was thick and suffocating, smelling of rotting copper rust mixed with machine oil and sodden cardboard.

Chen Su bent over to pick up a blackened fragment of bronze. The moment his fingertip brushed the coarse green patina, the world around him blurred. A ring of pale gold ripples exploded in the center of his vision, and countless hair-thin ribbons of light peeled away from the depths of the rust, floating in mid-air like fireflies dancing in a fog.

It wasn't a hallucination; it was a vast stretch of time compressed into the soul of the object.

He saw a rainy night a century ago. A forge fire was dying down as a craftsman, drenched in sweat, hammered at the base of a vessel. Droplets of sweat hissed as they hit the molten copper, the craftsman's face a blur amidst the rising steam.

Then the images shifted rapidly. Amidst the chaos of war, the bronze piece was wrapped tightly in a straw mat and shoved into a gap in a trench. Mud seeped into its edges; layers of blood and grime encased it. Finally, three months ago, it was sold by the pound as scrap copper, shoveled out from the corner of an old estate and tossed into a burlap sack filled with plastic bottles and tin sheets.

The flowing light finally froze on a jumping set of numbers: Patina Value 300.
