You turn to glance a the small town that welcomed you. The crowd, young and old, farmer and sheep, cows and horses and young women whispering to themselves and tanned farm hands checking out Rubida as she rides on her horse, they are all waving and cheering as the group of four Knight (in training!) departs.
Master is at the helm. He’ll be with you for a part of the journey, at least.
Astoria is nowhere to be seen. It seems like she disappeared since the night of the celebration. Your Master explained it as ‘State affairs’, whatever that may mean. He wore one of his dusty smiles when he said so.
The morning after the celebration, a weary Salicera shot you a glance and made you understand that for the time being, there would be no talking.
Perhaps now that you left the town you can start to get closer again. You feel like you let her down.
At least, Soralisa is starting to get her sensitivity back. It’s going to take a long time, but she’s confident that with time and prayer, she’ll recover.
For the time being, she rides in front of Rubida.
And so, five people and four horses, you leave the town, riding towards the port where you will meet with this mysterious Asterite… and after you’ll have passed this new trial…
You pull your robes a bit tighter, Carnaval’s gift pressing against your chest.
“A Knight, finally,” you mumble, thinking of your family’s relieved faces.
But for the time being, feeling your new sword safely tucked in its beautiful new sheath, you’ll have to focus on how to get there.
The sky is getting cloudy again.
>Ask Master if he can spar with Salicera. Will this help you get back in her good graces?>What do your friends know about Asterites and this mission anyway? How about you do one more briefing, just to make sure?>Travel to the coast is going to take a while. You have time to revise your training — you worked well as a group last time, but this time you’ll have to work in sync… >[Write-In]>>6100870>glad to see this backthanks anon! I'm happy too!
>Asterite!Argia's Mentorthis is a very interesting question. The short answer is 'haha fuck no', and you'll find the long answer in the next updates.
As always, thanks a lot for playing.
