Questioning everything was not needed. Sometimes the answers would confuse you even more. It was the end of the fight anyway. We got him into Osna as it was their closest settlement in the valley. We found some very nice boxer briefs for him to wear. My outfit was unique. He'd need another milestone for it. That was unnecessary. It was fine to just be in his underwear. He was a copy of a Blade Spirit. If he stayed in kusarigama form inside of the shrine, no one would know anyway. Speaking of the shrine, we went to visit. The guardian looked at us and bowed. "It is an honor to see you, Lord David. You have an incarnation with you as well." he said. I asked for his name and it was Roj. "It is my intention to leave this incarnation in your care. In return the replica inside must be taken out so my chosen champion can use it in battle." I said. His eyes widened. He did not think he would be serving an awakened master so soon. Roj took out the replica and my clone sat on top of the shrine. "Is there not a pressing matter to solve!?" he asked. "If the townsfolk ask you." I replied.
Roj
Realizing that there would be nothing for a while, he took weapon form and fell into the shrine. Roj closed it reverently. "Will that be all, Lord David?" he asked me. There was nothing else I needed from him. I said "Thank you so much for your service already, Roj." I gave him a bow. He looked flustered and begged me not to. "Please raise your head, Lord David! You praise me too much. It is my honor to serve the great spirits of this valley!" he said quickly. With that, I left with Darrien. As we were walking, he said "Will this happen again, master? I want to prepare myself." I nodded my head. "Yes. Likely after 25 kills with the replica. After that, you can exchange it for the one in Ethana Town. You come from there, right?" I answered. He held the kusarigama tighter. "My people will be honored to have your spirit protect the directly again." he said, then paused for a bit. I stopped as well. "Will the new you be just as... free as this last one?" he asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "It was my power that allowed it to awaken but it is a distinct personality. I have no clue what it will be like."
