Isaiah Pov

We were walking for a while and still no sign of anything, just the purple trees and the strange atmosphere around all of us, something feels off so I came to ask a question.

Isaiah: hey, pepper, do you even know where you're going?

Pepper stopped moving as everyone stopped as well.

Pepper: we are here but, we need the other lost ones here as well.

I looked around and I see nothing.

Isaiah: what do you mean we are here, there is nothing out here.

Pepper floats towards me

Pepper: do you know why you can see our destination? It's because you haven't got the mark yet.

Isaiah: a mark?

Pepper: yes, the mark, it's so you can see what the lost ones can see.

I think about what she said about a mark and it is making me wonder how do you get.

Ally: what kind of mark?

Pepper: well, the mark is supposed to help you see the hidden things around this place and also Interact with objects that you couldn't see before.

Isaiah: so how do we get this said mark?

Pepper: you have to either have dark essence from a sorrow beast in your body without turning or get bitten by spectral's curse but, if I were you I would get bitten.

I think about the other option and it sounds really difficult to even obtain and especially how that cat was.

Mark: wait, your saying getting bit by that Wolfdog, the same one the knocked me and Isaiah out.

Pepper: as much as I don't want to say it but yes, it's either that or find a sorrow beast and take it down.

Pepper: besides you guys aren't that strong to handle a sorrow beast on your own, unless fable makes your weapons spirit forged.

We all huddled up together in a small circle so we can discuss.

Isaiah: so, what are y'all thinking we should do.

Ally: the safer play would be to just wait for the others.

Mark: I was thinking the same thing because who knows what other monsters can be out there.

Isaiah: she also mentioned that fable can make our weapons spirit forged, whatever that is supposed to me.

Ally: why not ask pepper that question.

Isaiah: good idea.

I left the circle for a moment to ask pepper a question.

Isaiah: what is a spirit forged weapon?

Pepper: it is a weopon design to hurt or kill sorrow beast.

Isaiah: you also said fable can make spirit forged weapons too.

Pepper: well, she can base on the users fighting style, it may not be the weapon you prefer but, overtime you can link up with the weapon to make it stronger than before.

When she said link up with weaponry I was thinking about how is that even possible but, if something like this exists then I should probably listen.

Isaiah: link up with your weapons, is it like bonding with your weapons or something.

Pepper: not exactly, see you have a soul and a body but, for me I am only just the soul so I can't use sprit forged weapons.

Isaiah: why can't you.
