Day 105


As the Warmaster discussed the various armament options with Caleb, Kai's attention drifted towards a glint he saw coming from a more inconspicuous weapon rack, mostly covered with an old dirty tarp and shrouded in shadow. He strolled over, trying not to call attention to himself. He'd lost his sword just before entering the cave that led him to Caleb, so he was rather eager to get his hands on another; however he doubted he would ever find another so perfectly suited to him.

He slowly pulled the tarp off to one side, revealing the source of the glint beneath: A beautiful, albeit dusty and grime stained, sword. Kai blew the dust off the grip and grabbed the sword, gingerly pulling it from the rack. He slid his fingers along the side of the blade wiping off the dust; it was still incredibly sharp. Passing the sword from hand to hand a few times, Kai tested the weapon's balance and weight. Two quick slashes through the air made it clear he had been wrong just before: this was the weapon for him, perhaps even more perfect than his old sword.
