"If we can grab that sword, maybe we can use it to widen the tree hole and retrieve the requiem tree egg," Night Wind said, his eyes bright with anticipation.
"That might actually work. Maybe someone or something wants us to go back and retrieve that sword," Han Sen said.
The entire scenario seemed a little too convenient, though. They had chosen to leave the sword behind on the road, despite what the pictures on the screen seemed to indicate.

"I am willing to give it a try. I will go find the sword again and bring it back," Night Wind said to Miss Mirror.
"Go, but be careful," Miss Mirror said, her voice distracted and distant.
"Yes, I will get it done." Night Wind bowed, turned around, and walked away.
