The reason for the silence was simple. Another person had appeared. Physically, she was a woman. But no one cared about that. All of their pupils constricted at that moment for a different reason. They stared at the vine in the woman's hand.
A flexster could use a variety of weapons, but soft vines were one of the most difficult weapons to master. A vine-using flexter would be enough to make everyone feel the danger. And if this flexster held a Painted Graphistemma, no one would dare to get within 20 meters of them. Painted Graphistemma was the most famous and powerful vine.
The vine techniques are different from all other weapons and only circulated in very few tribes. "A flexster who uses a vine is the most dangerous flexter," was a proverb that had been circulating in the House of a Hundred Depths for hundreds of years.
