As we contuine on our way to storm hinge we stop at the next town and decide to get alittle bit of money bye taking up a quest i go to reach for a dungeon quest but as i do Jillian says no as she points to a retreval quest i turn to Natalie hoping she sides with me but she tells me we are not going through the same hell again so soon after the pheonix incident i look at them and they both say were still inexperienced so lets do something we can handle considering your the only one with magical training and your weapon helps you with the physical aspect of your battles so you can fight like a pro without the training we still need that so untill then were sticking with the easy missions for cash.
after hearing there words i realised there right im the only one gaining strenght i had them stay with me for weeks as i learned magic and they just had to watch me so i agree to go with the retreval mission and we go to find this weapon a collector has asked to be brought to them if we deliver it to them we get a reward and the mission is complete as we head out i look at the quest to see what were searching for and it's a weapon the only thing we have to go off of is a picture and name the waterwhip and we have a last seen owner who's said to be in a certain part of the next town over but no one know what they look like and there said to be extremely dangerous according to the quest as we make it into stone haven i start looking around ive learned my lesson of asking people for info so we start looking in pawnshops blacksmiths and other weapons shops to see if its been sold no luck there as we walk around each place it becomes obvious someones been follow us as we entered this town.
after a while we finaly decide to turn around and confront them and low and behold they are holding the waterwhip and they know how to use it as i charge at them as Jillian shoots electric arrows for support as natalie charges beside me with her lance as confident as we are we didnt expect to get defeat so fast as she wraps us all in the whip a flings us all in the air and proceeds to trash us with water till we knock out. As we wake up tied to beds in what seems to be cabin. a person standing in the corner says so your awake before coming over with cups of water and procedding to splash them in our faces she looks over at our weapons in the corner then back to us and says so more of you adventures showed up but expecting to take me doen with pitiful excuses for weapons such as these is a laughable attempt at best compared to what others have come at me with but for what appears to be teenagers these are powerfull tools if used properly but you three seem to lack that training required to do so before i decide to get rid of you at least let me know the names of my weapons next victims before she even finishes i go to breck out using fox armour but nothing happens.
as she looks at me she says looking for this as she flashed my pendent and bracelet in her hands she says ive seen enough resonating stones to see a fusion user to think you could get out with a cheap trick like that amazes me as she's talking my hand proceeds to start frezzing the ropes as i break open and im free i then take the stance Victoria told me to use to properly use my magic as i launch an ice attack at her as expected her whip blocks it but after the attack i expected her to come kill me but instead she says i know that stanch how do you know Victoria. i ready the stance again and say she's my teacher once i say that the lady grabs chairs with her whip and sets Jillian and Natalie free and shes starts asking us questions she asks why were after her weapon we show her the quest and she sighs and says people have been after this for awhile the reason why is its a cardnial weapon one of 12 that have been found but are only a few of the many still out there. many different types of these of these weapons are out there some having multiple elements mine just happens to utilise the one i teach water but im retired and now adays my sisters the only one of us who still teachers but you know her as Victoria.
i look shocked as she says this but looking at it this situation it makes alot more sense water and ice two things made from the same thing ice is just water solidified after all.
i ask her why shes retired she says not bye choice i just cant let people know i have the waterwhip im already hunted and people have a hard enough time finding me then letting myself into the open is just asking for them to come to my front door and kill me.
i look at her and understand as im ready to get out of here but before i cant touch the door nob Natalie speaks up.
hey sorry to interupt but my elements water and im looking for a teacher and tho your retired if your anything like your sister you have to be extremely skilled and ive seen you without your magic i could use someone like you to teach me she sits down and signals Natalie to as well as she does we sit down and they start talking to the lady. she says kid if you stay with me you have to prepare to move at a moments notice you'd never be comfortable for long cause of risk of being found you'd have to be willing to give up everthing to leave from someplace youve grown attatched to are you prepared to do that Natalie seems to ponder this question but after awhile before awnsering she says something i never expected she replies with ive already had fate screw with my life ive lost everything family and home the only thing i have left our my friends and ones off learning fire magic and those two our going to drop off the one with the bow in storm hinge to learn lightning i will have nothing i need strenght to be able to pull my weight if you have any chance of helping me i will follow you anywhere.
the lady looks impressed before replying with kid you definitely dont lack the spirit i will take you on but these friends of yours cant come where we must go is one we go alone our you ok with that Natalie says yes before the teachers reveals her name then you miss Natalie may call me Kara as we make our way out I'm stopped as Kara gives me contact info to use in emergencys after leaving Natalie she comes outside and says one day you me David and Jillian will meet back up stronger then ever wait for me after she says that i say you better be as we walk off back to the road to storm hinge one more person gone and one more journey to make.
