After resting a while, Tria and Crei left the castle, traveling northwest.
"Should we not be going to the Unknown Land?" asked Crei, Tria was bringing them away from the Unknown Land.
"We will, but first, we need to stop somewhere for a while," she answered and smiled.
"Oh?"
"Hmm, I'm going to train swords with you and Chukah," she answered.
"Swords? Then we should get a sword first."
"I already have one," she smiled.
"Ah, my wife is so mysterious," he jokingly said.
"Not as much as you, husband," she said and laughed.
"Hahaha, you already know all about me, I just have to confirm it with you, right?"
"My intuition can be wrong, I can't assume anything."
"That is true, sorry wifey, I'm going to have you wait for a little bit longer."
"Whenever you are ready-oh this is it," she pointed at a house on top of a hill," that's where I will do my training."
"Very reserved, I like it," he said observing the house.
"Hmm, I wanted something isolated, also...Chukah come out, don't be so accustomed to hiding," she called out.
A dark mist formed and Chukah's shape formed out of it.
Tria jumped to him, giving him a big hug.
"I haven't been able to see so freely in forever! Haha!"
Chukah patted her head, "I'm here now, aren't I?"
"True, after this journey, you will never have to go in there again."
"Sounds good," he answered then waved at Crei," Brother-in-law."
"Brother," Crei smiled, but still felt a little jealous over Tria hugging someone else.
"It's good that you are both here, I will need to be alone for a while, so you too could spar right, warm up until I'm back?"
"Where are you going? asked Crei.
"Oh nowhere, I'll just lock myself in a room for a while, priestess business, " she said and winked at him.
"Ah, alright, then."
"Hmm," agreed Chukah.
The house was a regular home with a few bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living area. Tria went in and chose one of the bedrooms, then dived inside the golden temple. She has been called for days now, however, she never had an appropriate place to meditate.
Meanwhile outside, Crei and Chukah were bonding over making some food in the kitchen. Usually, Crei would have his shadows do everything, but since Chukah was there, he decided they would do it together.
"Wifey likes mushrooms, go out there and see if you find any along with some game meat, " Crei said while cutting down some vegetables.
Chukah looked at Crei and he wanted to laugh, but he didn't want a beating so he just proceeded to the forest nearby.
Crei figured that Tria would be hungry when she comes out, so it would be best to have something ready for her to eat. Then it will not be too late to spar with Chukah for a bit.
Inside the Golden Temple, Tria had walked straight into one of the side room, which already had its door opened, because before that door was not opened yet. Waiting for her was a box along with a few fine papers, she had felt this box attracting her inside the golden temple since Hoth had first gotten his memories.
She opened the box first, and inside was a long bronzed sword, curved in the middle, inscribed on the handle was one word, 'Khopesh'. It looked like a sword-sickle, and the part of the blade opposite of the handle had a slight hook.
Before she could pick up the sword, she read through the fine papers first, and written were these cursive words:
'The sword that will slay down gods
Using the curve to your advantage, rid of your opponent's shield.
Holding the handle, slash down and cut open through their blind spot.
The sword that will slay down gods.'
Tria wanted to jump in happiness after she read those words, she had been wondering how to handle the so-called god who has been hunting her down. She finally then picked up the khopesh sword and waved it in the air. A powerful wave vibrated through the air shaking even her arm.
'So powerful,' she thought as she transferred her consciousness back outside.
