Scenario:Eahta - Returning to the Fray

Returning to the Fray

Vyrn and Lyria watch as (Captain) trains in the katana when Eahta appears. Intrigued by (Captain)'s request to duel, he draws his katanas in high spirits.

---

On a day off, (Captain) decides to engage in some sword training.

Vyrn and Lyria watch as (Captain) strikes a training dummy made of wood and straw.

Vyrn: (Captain), I appreciate how serious you are about this, but you should really think about taking a day off sometime.

Eahta: Oh? In the middle of training, are you?

Eahta stands in front of the dummy and enters an unarmed combat pose.

Eahta: Attack me when ready. Far more valuable experience than simply striking a mass of wood and straw.

Lyria: W-wait, Eahta! (Captain)'s not holding back! You have to be careful!

(Captain) holds the flustered Lyria at bay.

Lyria: Huh? B-but I...

Eahta: Pay it no mind. Danger is precisely what makes this enjoyable.

Eahta: Let us begin!

As instructed, (Captain) makes a one-handed sword strike at Eahta.

Eahta: Hrm...

But the valiant effort goes unrewarded. Eahta all too easily dodges the attack, striking (Captain)'s back with the back of his hand.

Vyrn: That's your idea of a counterattack?

Eahta: More interesting this way, is it not?

(Captain) asks the unfazed Eahta for a favor.

Eahta: Oh? You want me to use a sword? Very well!

Eahta: Whenever you're ready... Let us put your spirit and skill to the test!

Returning to the Fray: Scene 2

(Captain) sends Eahta's blades flying, showing true growth. Eahta relates a story about silver relics, which supposedly hold the key to unlocking even greater power from revenant weapons.

Eahta: Oh ho...

Vyrn: Wowie, wow, wowie... (Captain) managed to disarm Eahta?

Eahta: Most impressive. Your skills have improved considerably, (Captain).

Eahta: (The time when we will once again cross swords in earnest draws near...)

Eahta: (Captain). Have you heard of the so-called silver relics?

Eahta: You may have successfully awakened your revenant weapon, but unlocking its true power remains a distant dream.

Eahta: Crossing into that realm requires the use of silver relics.

Lyria: Silver relics? I've never heard of them before... Where can we find them?

Eahta: According to rumor... they can be found near the site of ancient battlegrounds where the souls of warriors from ages past congregate.

Vyrn: Hmm... You don't know either, gramps?

Vyrn: Sounds like it's worth looking into though, don'tcha think, (Captain)?

Eahta: Seek power. Or flee from it. So long as you follow your heart, you cannot fail.

After uttering these words, Eahta leaves (Captain) and exits the training room.

(Captain) can sense something from Eahta's actions, however. The time of their next duel is fast approaching.
