Encountering the Eternals II
Vyrn is indignant at Eahta for speaking of the Eight-Life Katana like a mere toy. Sierokarte explains that Eahta acts the way he does for a reason and is actually a member of the Eternals.
With Sierokarte's help, (Captain) draws ever closer to awakening the Eight-Life Katana.
(Captain) and the party head back to the Knickknack Shack to ask Sierokarte for more advice.
Eahta: ...
Vyrn: Whoa! I didn't even notice you were there, big guy!
Eahta: ...
Eahta ignores Vyrn and continues silently staring at the shop's shelves.
Lyria: Um... Are you looking for something?
Eahta: Perhaps a girl would have some insight...
Lyria: ...?
Eahta: You there. I have a request.
Lyria: Y-yes? What is it?
Lyria: (Just talking to him directly is tough... He's so intense!)
Eahta: I'm looking for a hand mirror to give to my young daughter.
Lyria: ...
Eahta: ...
Lyria: Um... As a present?
Eahta: Correct. Mirrors reflect the self. I believe it wise to observe oneself on occasion... and question whether we follow the correct path.
Eahta: However, I do not know what is fashionable.
Lyria: Um... A fashionable hand mirror? I'm sure that would make any girl happy!
Eahta: Indeed. I'll leave it to you.
Lyria: Understood! (Captain), hold on a second, okay?
Lyria notices a hand mirror on one of the shelves.
While Lyria fetches the mirror, Eahta's gaze falls upon (Captain).
Eahta: Hm... You have a revenant weapon, do you?
Vyrn: Revenant weapon? What's that?
Eahta: It's the type of weapon your Eight-Life Katana is. Not that it deserves to be called such a thing. It has yet to be awakened.
Eahta: Its blade is blunt. No better than a child's plaything in its current state.
Vyrn: I wouldn't let any kid touch that massive sword, personally!
Lyria: What do you think of this mirror, Eahta? Wait... Is something wrong, Vyrn? You look upset.
Vyrn: The old guy here called the Eight-Life Katana a kid's toy...
Lyria: A toy? But it's so sharp...
Eahta takes the mirror Lyria fetched for him and murmurs something to (Captain) on the way to the counter.
Eahta: As it is now, you couldn't so much as graze me with that blade.
Eahta pays for the hand mirror and lumbers out of the shop.
Vyrn: What was that about? Talk about arrogant! He just doesn't realize how tough you are, (Captain)!
Sierokarte: Hmm... Eahta acts that way for a reason...
Vyrn: Are you saying that old geezer is stronger than (Captain)?
Sierokarte: Eahta is a member of the Eternals, you know.
Lyria: The Eternals?
Sierokarte: Yes. An airship crew of living legends: ten warriors, all experts of their particular weapons. The most powerful in all the sky!
Sierokarte: Each one of them is rumored to be as powerful as the Seven Luminary Knights.
Sierokarte: A legendary crew of fighters feared by even the bravest of warriors.
Vyrn: Gulp... I-I see... Now that you mention it, that old guy kinda bowled me over just standing there...
Vyrn: Uhh... But I'm sure (Captain) would win anyway!
Sierokarte: From the sound of things, the Eternals have been particularly active in this skydom as of late.
Lyria: Really? Then we'll probably see Eahta again soon.
Eahta... Master katana wielder of the legendary crew known as the Eternals.
What does (Captain)'s encounter with him portend?
