『Her Faith』

Jack opened the chest, only to see a severe lack of good drops, not that he minded. There were already three good drops from the monsters he defeated. His eyes shifting over to Vivi for a moment before looking back into the box.

Three bags of minted silver coins, each holding eighty pieces, approximately weighing almost five pounds each accordingly. It's worth in gold would be about forty gold coins as six silver is one gold in the World of Niria. Something that only one person in the party knew, Vivi, the Princess.

A single ring on the bottom of the chest, silver like the previous one. This time, it merely had elven glyphs inscribed on the exterior, it was the Minor Ring of Protection. There was no gem.

Reaching into the chest, he'd pinch the ring and toss it into the air, before letting it drop into his palm. Looking it over for a second he would reach over and grasp Vivi's hand.

Like how she jumped before, her entire body tensed as he touched her hand.

Her lips parted, trying her hardest not to tremble. Her faith in him, given to her by the Divine Fealty that made her loyal, caused it to be possible for her to even stand her ground.

Faith was her comfort and it made it even easier to allow it to persist... As he was an Angel, a being that this world only believed to exist in Scripture or on another heavenly plane.

Vivi's eyes shook with anticipation though, in her mind she was flashing back to when each one of her fingers were slowly plucked off one by one. How her toes were soon to follow. How they had rendered her unable to keep her balance should she have tried to run away. How she would die if she ran as she couldn't use tools or climb.

Yet all that was gone, because of this man here before her.

He gave her clothes, somehow he was making her stronger which she hardly understood. And these actions were unknowingly unlocking a part of her that those superstitious Sun Elves feared.

The magical affinity of a Thirteenth offspring of a Moon Elf was so immense, that if it should reach a certain level, they'd far surpass the limitations of the vast majority of Sun Elves.

The moment he slipped that ring onto her middle finger, next to the ring she had already planted herself, she calmed down a bit. Her parted lips turned into a shaky smile her lower lip quivering.

Runa squinted her eyes slightly at Jack, curious of why he was giving this elf a bunch of items. She understood the clothes, kind of. They were definitely high quality, at least the top was.

While they had probably started better off than the elf, he was supposed to be watching after them right? They were in the middle of a crisis. They were in a world where they could die! And here he was... Decorating a small Elf, when he could be 'decorating' her with these things.

She turned her head to look over at the other two men who were now peering into the next room. They dare not step in though, for the monsters which suddenly spawned when thy got close enough, would attack.

A slight frown crossed her lips as she looked over to Jack again, only for a five pound bag of coins to smack her square in the face. Stumbling back and fumbling the coins, she watched as two more bags would go flying at the other two players.

POW. Kaplunk.

"Ow! What the hell?" Turning his head after being hit in the back of the head, and almost stumbling into the other room. Nakajima turned as glanced over at a bag filled with coins on the floor.

KAPOW.

Kokei stumbled and his bones shuttered before he looked down at the coins that spilled out onto the floor around him. The skeleton chattered its teeth before looking over at Jack, its arms motioning out as if asking 'Why?' Before just squatting down and beginning to pick up each and individual coin.
