"Katarina...? You okay?"
Kat looked up to Luca with tired eyes, holding the dark gray book beside her hip.
"You looked less energetic than when you first got here..." he said, holding his knuckles against his cheek with worry.
The Nephalem waved him off.
"Nah, it's okay," Kat assured. "I'm just tired of this whole journey. That's all."
Luca stared at her with knowing eyes before nodding slowly.
"Alright, well... I think you best be going." Luca said, making a small smile.
Kat couldn't help but smile back and slightly nod.
"Oh, I should give these back to you..." Kat muttered as she reached into her hoodie pockets to retrieve out the three Relics.
But Luca held up his hand.
"No. Keep them." He protested with assurance.
Kat fingered the material of the three Relics with uncertainty.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"But... Why is that?"
Luca bended down to Kat's height.
"The Relics may look like they were designed for only this but," he paused for a second. "They were also designed to do plenty more."
"What does that mean?"
"Well, let me just say this briefly so you can go along with your friends." Luca started, putting his hands on his knees.
"You see, the Air Key was designed to open any locked doors. The Land Stone is known to pierce through anything. Even... Flesh."
Luca shuddered at that word.
Kat wondered to herself if killing was not a thing for him.
"And lastly," he continued shortly. "The Water Potion can soothe any fires and any blasts of energy."
Kat nodded with wide eyes, knowing the full knowledge of each Relic. She was getting excited in fact.
"Consider these as your token to get this far."
"Well... Thanks!" Kat thanked holding the three Relics against her chest with care.
Luca chuckled.
"The other Relic Bearers and I are welcome to help you in your mission." He said, bowing a little.
Kat nodded as she placed the Relics back to her in her hoodie pockets carefully.
"You should go catch up with your friends. It was nice seeing you again." Luca nodded once more as he extended his arm to the Realities Squad members, waiting for Kat.
