Two Swords

[unswervingcompanion]

WHO: Hendrik & you (yes you & don't forget to tag in!)
WHEN: Mid April
WHERE: Around Ke-Waihu
WHAT: Training of sorts
WARNINGS: None


Hendrik had borrowed Sandbreaker from the Luminary and was testing it out. In one hand he held his axe which was his favoured weapon. In the other he held Sandbreaker. It was the only thing keeping his mind going, doing what he was good at which was keeping the boy safe. However, said boy was dealing with the loss of his friend, one Lily Evans.

The knight was friends with her as well and she was one of the ones that had acknowledged his return. For that kindness, he had been grateful. And it was only after she had disappeared that Hendrik learned the truth of what she and the Luminary had meant to each other.

He swung the sword up and down in the air, and then repeated the gesture with the axe. With a sigh, he then went back to weighing both weapons in his hands until he saw someone pass by. And in an effort to help his companion, he decided he would ask around.

Once Hendrik spotted someone close, he nodded at them and spoke in a concerned tone.

"Have you by chance heard of someone here by the name of Lily Evans??"

Eda, having just arrived, is mainly getting a closer look at the town and trying to find out exactly how this world functions. Maybe she'll also find out something about its magic? That would be great; though at leat her glyphs seem to work, she's tried that much out already. Not being entirely magic-less is certainly a relief for her, who was so used to having many types of magic at her fingertips for so long.

Right now, though, it's time to get the lay of the land. Mainly so she can figure out if she has or can make any goods or services she might be able to sell here. Or else, where the best spots for pickpocketing are. Either is fine by her.

When a stranger actually asks her a question, she shrugs. "Never heard of her."

Hendrik noticed the girl and couldn't recall seeing her around. But then again he stayed near the Luminary as that was his charge, as odd as that position still seemed to be to him in this place.

However, when she replied in the negative, the tall knight simply nodded. "In that case I thank you." Still, he wondered about this person he'd never seen before. And he somehow recalled that the last time he was here in this world, Eleven pretty much met people all the time and he hung back not wishing to be an interference even if he was only two to three steps behind the Luminary at any given time.

And then being on a mountain with the boy ran through his head and he lowered his weapons. "Since you were kind enough to answer my question, is there any way I can be of service to you?"

Eda takes a moment to consider this, thumb and forefinger framing her chin in a thoughtful gesture. She certainly needs several things, those being money, a way to keep her old curse at bay (because she's beginning to feel a bit feathery), and a way to deal with the all-new curse that's been bestowed upon her in this place.

She decides to try her luck with the latter. Seems like something this guy might know about, if he's also an otherworlder, and it's a somewhat pressing matter. One curse is enough, thank you. "What do you know about the curses? The ones the villagers give us?"

[unswervingcompanion]

The knight's head shook at the question. He didn't even want to think about that curse even though he'd been dealing with it. It was a tough thing to deal with and not something he wished to speak about.

His body bore the scars and bruises that he ended up with daily and fortunately his armour hid it. He woke earlier than those in his camp to try and treat what he could and if they got up around the same time, Hendrik left the house for the day.

"All I know is that they told me some story about a Priest and his deity. They said something regarding needing to redeem the Priest or his wrongs." And he had absolute zero clue how to do that.
