Chapter 6: The Last Resort
General Summary
After surviving a cart trip without succumbing to someone's need to prove their martial worth, the party arrived at the Riverside Resort, still very much lacking a name. Teshi returned to Vihd's workshop without causing any trouble for the itinerary.
Samantha sought to talk to whomever was in charge, which would likely come down to the local, albeit famous, blacksmith or the owner of the resort. Before Sam would decide, she could feel a tingle in her soul, as she had numerous times only the day before. She shrugged it off as she visited the blacksmith, Da Vihd.
The now-retired undefeated duelist had amassed quite a bit of fame during his career. While having to raise two stubborn children ensured the end of his showmanship, Da Vihd never lost touch with clashing steel. Turning this talent into smithing, the famed duelist now became a famed blacksmith, creating weaponry for the generations to follow. Blades crafted by him hold a special place within Median society, though it by no means makes the owner a skilled fighter.
The father and daughter combo worked the shop together, as the influx of orders showed no sign of stopping. The party was welcomed to the shop for a brief chat, though Vihd was not necessarily the most informed person in the area. He did end up recommending a visit to his gunsmithing colleague Quen Mizuki, who owns a shop in a nearby village.
Samantha and Luanshi continued to examine the village, acting as tourists and observing the standards of living and societal norms as a traveler would do. Though their remarks on the lax security would coincide with the arrival of the thief, Pricia, having taken some of Samantha's leftovers from the Pantheon simulacra out of her possession.
Before the fighting began, Pricia tucked away the stolen items in her pocket dimension, allowing her to focus on fending off her aggressors. The fight didn't last long however, as a single contact between Luanshi and Pricia was made, both of them fell to the ground, unconcious for a brief moment. Luanshi was subjected to visions he could make no sense of at the time.
Pricia, now held captive by Samantha's telekinesis continued to be cryptic about her goals, speaking as if she did not want to tamper with the events that were set in motion. She demanded the core of Pyratus, to ensure a back-up plan was in place for events yet to come.
During their encounter, Luanshi experienced a life he had not led. Moments of existence far from his own world, his own body. Yet still very much a familiarity to his soul.
