In a world where magic and monsters roam free, and places of danger and beauty are, whoever can find their way through the chaos is a true hero.
Wielders of Sacred Weapons, the weapons blessed by the gods and goddesses of the heavens, live through t...
"Yes, I am Flosoria, goddess of nature. I am the one who gave you this challenge. This is my domain, the one where the true manifestation of myself lives. Now that you see it, you have completed the challenge, and for that I must give you an award."
"An award?" Jacob asks.
"Yes. An award. The award of clearing my trial, alongside all the others are sacred. They must be protected at all costs. I shall entrust this item to the hero."
Flosoria then took the gemstone out of her necklace and put it into my hand.
"This is the Emerald of Life, the gem of nurturing and love. You will need it to enter the Sacred Location, and unlock the Sacred Weapon."
Sacred Gemstone Acquired! The Emerald of Life A special gemstone given by the Goddess of the Forest, Flosoria. Use it to unlock the true potential of the Sacred Weapon, Silviara.
"Next, please hold out your hand with your ring."
As I lift my hand, showing her the ring, she places my hand into her own. She then places her hand over the ring, casting a green aura around it. Then the ring flies off of my finger, shaking furiously. The ring is surrounded by leaves, engulfing it into a tornado of them. The wind pressure was quite powerful, I had actually make myself try not to fall over. When it stopped, the ring floated back onto my finger. Then, a portion of the purely purple gem, turned a bright shimmering green.

"That is my second gift, the Hero's Ring has regained a fraction of its power. You should now be able to find the King's Spirit that inhabits that the land. Find them, and persuade them to help you on your quest to the Sacred Location. They shall help you combat the Shadow Maiden."
"Flosoria, what exactly does the Hero's Ring do?" I ask.
"The ring signifies the friendship and allies you have made in this realm. It will grant you strength in your most desperate hour. The Hero's Ring you wear also has a dual meaning. It symbolizes that you are the chosen one to lead the fight against the Shadow Maiden. It is also they key to unlock special summoning sequences. They are used by combining your strength with that of the maiden of another world to harness a portion of the King Spirit's power."
"The maiden?" I ask, in response she just pointed at Lilliana. We all look over to Lily who just laughed sheepishly in response.
"All will be explained in due time. For now, you must find your way to the King's Spirit. Make them your ally, and let them lend you their strength. When you find them, the words I speak will become clear of their meaning."
"Thank you Flosoria. Looks like we're all ready to return now. We will find your King's Spirit and save Arbora." I say gratefully. "However, I must ask. Why is it that you refer to us as the hero and the maiden?"
"You wish to know?" She asks. I nod. "Very well. Allow me to show you the beginnings of the legend. The legend of the Earthly Hero. Your mind will be transferred into a realm of memories, where you will see things of the distant past."
