The Orb of Moldova [1] is a holy talisman used by ancient druids to sacrifice human eyes to the gods in exchange for their protection. [2] The Orb enslaved the demon Tenebraug, the agent who takes the eyes of those who look at talisman. [3] [4]
History
In 1997, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired the Orb. When it arrived at the Kennedy Airport, a customs officer in Hangar Five looked at it and fell victim to Tenebraug. The Orb was still shipped on time to Curator William, who then looked at it and lost his eyes. A cleaning lady also fell victim to Tenebraug. On the night of a gala unveiling, the Metropolitan Museum Administrator and Eduardo Rivera also looked at the Orb. Kylie Griffin used it against Tenebraug. After all stolen eyes were returned to their rightful owners, Eduardo destroyed the Orb.
