Scenario:Eahta - Encountering the Eternals III

Encountering the Eternals III

The crew is surprised by Eahta's remark that the Eight-Life Katana can pierce the stars. He then declares to (Captain) that they will duel during their next encounter.

---

(Captain) and the crew visit the Knickknack Shack, bringing the nearly-awakened Eight-Life Katana with them.

(Captain) draws the Eight-Life Katana from its sheath to Sierokarte's cries of admiration.

Sierokarte: Oh my! How beautiful... and fascinating...

Lyria: It glows with such a pure light, but I sense something slightly... dangerous from it.

Vyrn: I wonder what it'll be like when it's complete?

Eahta: Fools.

Vyrn: What the? Where'd you spring out from?

Eahta: The Eight-Life Katana is one of the revenant weapons... Their power was feared across the skies. And that is precisely why they were sealed.

Eahta: With its seal broken and its powers awakened, a revenant weapon has the power to cleave the heavens and divide the stars.

Lyria: The revenant weapons are that powerful?

Eahta: Indeed.

Eahta: You seek its power, do you not? Power beyond your ken.

Eahta: With power of its magnitude, you risk not only destroying yourself... but the entire world.

Eahta: If you wish to master that blade, you must master yourself first.

Sierokarte: Now, now, Eahta. You don't need to lecture them.

Sierokarte: (Captain) isn't the kind of person to just wave a revenant weapon around all willy-nilly.

Eahta: Shopkeep. Are you the one who told them how to awaken revenant weapons?

Eahta: Power should not be given to those without the ability to control it.

Vyrn: Come on, gramps! You really think (Captain) doesn't have what it takes?

Eahta: That is precisely what I am saying.

Vyrn: Grrr... You're really ticking me off, old man! I dare you to say that to (Captain)'s face!

Lyria: H-hold on, Vyrn! He's just warning us to be careful! Probably!

Vyrn: Yeah right! I mean, sure, it sounds like this is one crazy powerful weapon, but still...

Lyria: So, um... even for someone as powerful as (Captain), using a revenant weapon is dangerous?

Eahta: Indeed.

Lyria: If that's the case... who's powerful enough to use it?

Eahta: ...

Lyria: Is something wrong, Eahta?

Eahta: If you wish to wield power supreme, a long road awaits. And to close the distance... you must surpass me.

Vyrn: So in other words... Only a katana master is allowed to use that thing?

Eahta: When the time is right, I will return.

Eahta: This has been a most interesting diversion. I look forward to the day we meet again.

Vyrn: Huh? W-were we just challenged to a duel?

Lyria: He said we have to surpass him... Will we ever be able to do that?

Vyrn and Lyria seem concerned, but (Captain) simply watches Eahta as he vanishes into the sunset.
