Sapphire took the blade from wherever Imgor left it and placed in front of the enchanter before taking the scroll and placing it inside her backpack.

“Thank you.” Sapphire said as she began to wander the shop once more. As she inspected other various items she felt the need to ask the question.

“If you don’t mind my asking, why the sudden interest in the blade? Moments earlier you were eager to be rid of it.”

Sapphire considered the man’s request to keep the sword. As soon as they’d get to their destination she speculated it wasn’t by chance that they should locate a blacksmith. But still, having a flaming blade. For a moment the thought intrigued her but she quickly reconsidered, deeming it as ‘not her style’.
She then began walking around the room eyeing the various trinkets and cabinets. She found it rather interesting that the enchanter didn’t have all that many books on display. Also, he initially wanted have the blade out of his shop on a moment’s notice. Why the change of opinion and the desire to investigate it further.

“I’m sure we could work out a deal. Would you happen to have anything on paralysis runes in particular?” She said while refocusing on more immediate objectives, though she still planned on questioning him further on his desire to study this weapon.

As Sapphire entered she gingerly placed her hands on the side of her hood and pulled it off, revealing her dark blue hair.
Sapphire put a fake yet charming smile on her face as she walked over to the old enchanter extending her hand.

“The pleasure is mine.” She then looked behind as if queueing Imgor to step forward and observed him as he commanded the sword to light itself on fire.

“He used a flick-like motion. He didn’t say anything so I doubtful it’s activated by voice.”

Plague-Hunters

Sapphire chuckled lightly at Imgor’s figure of speech and stopped for a moment to let him catch up.

She then took out the blade she recovered from the so-called bandit, although by now she figured Nawar was more than just a mere bandit.

“Yes, I have taken note of your tracking spell.” She said as she handed the blade over to him.

“So you can specifically think of a certain object or living track? Interesting. How much do you need to know about the target for it to work ?”

As they kept walking she recalled the time she captured Ruby and how she carved the rune onto a rock which she then propelled with an air burst. This gave her an idea.

“While you’re at it, could you look for a vendor that sells books or offers teachings about runes? A paralysis rune in particular is what I’m looking for.”

Plague-Hunters

“I’ll go look for an enchanter or vendor that deals with similar arcane arts.” Sapphire informed the group.

She began looking for said individuals while Ruby offered her an overview of the entire town as she flew overhead. On her way she was already considering the applications of learning a rune that can be applied to various weapons. She considered elemental runes that help immobilize targets, mainly ice and electric current. Both of them would provide a great tactical advantage if applied to her Kris and launched with the air burst spell.

She hadn’t walked too far from the group when she realized the decision she took upon herself to take the blade to an enchanter was rather abrupt on her part so she stopped herself before she was too far away from the rest of the group and turned around waiting for a possible objection from them.

Plague-Hunters

Yeah, there's not much we can work with here so I think we can skip to the part where we arrive in the town.

Conquest of Andromeda: Absolutely Full!

@NickinTy Yeah, no shit. If it does before I even get to make my debut I'll really be friggin flame-y for a while.

“If that’s alright with you, Ms. Abigail . . .” as she said that Ruby landed in front of the group, stopping them in their tracks. Ruby turned her head sideways and intently observed Ms. Abigail.
This more than likely distracted the woman allowing for a question directed towards Imgor to go unnoticed.

“Are you sure this is a good idea? What if she decides we’re not worth her reward after all? Moreover we won’t get another chance to ask her about the attackers.” Sapphire whispered to him, thinking back to when Ms. Abigail initially dodged all of the groups’ questions.

“You think we’ll find her again?” She finished off.

Seeing her previous attitude after being rescued, it probably wasn’t beneath her to attempt such a trick, Sapphire thought.

Plague-Hunters

Not spear, a guandao/glaive. There's a difference. But yeah, I'm not 100% yet. I'll decide for sure once we meet Harold.

Plague-Hunters

As soon as Nickolaus finished up patching up his wounds Sapphire addressed him.

“That was reckless . . . and stupid. You could have gotten yourself killed.” She stared at him with a frown.

She grabbed her hood and pulled at it to cover more of her face. She then closed her eyes and then turned around, her cloak fluttering as air brushed against it. That was all she had to say to him. She had preferred not saying anything to him but she knew that actions like these can put the entire team in peril.
That thought concerned her.

She began walking towards the area covered in scars from the previous battle. It didn’t take much effort to locate her Kris which she had launched into their enemy's leg.
Moreover something caught her attention.

Amidst the chaos, Nawar had failed to recover his rune covered blade before retreating. She delicately picked off the blade off the ground and inspected it closely. As she did this Ruby landed next to her. Satisfied with her findings she placed it in her backpack and turned towards her familiar gently placing her hand on its neck. She closed her eyes taking in the feeling of its feathers on her palm.

“You did good today.” She spoke softly, knowing she didn’t need words to transmit her feelings, but it felt appropriate nonetheless.

“Let’s go.” Sapphire said as she began walking back towards the group. Ruby’s sight lingered on Sapphire for a moment before she took off and began circling above Sapphire . . . as she usually did.
