As he had done several times before, Alex entered seclusion in the Sanctuary Pocket Dimension, this time to prepare the items he intended to auction at the upcoming joint Golden Palace–DragonHold Enclave Charity Auction.
The Pocket Dimension remained largely unchanged.
Lord Bonsai continued to dominate the sealed space, its enormous form remaining the most prominent feature. The Fortune-Suppressing Dragon was coiled up within its canopy, while AVA lay some distance away, preparing the genetic material required for the Hive Network's extension drone nodes.
