I am privy to the location of a sacred artifact of Shizuyama. That map will lead you to its location... but I heard it is locked by a complex mechanism. You will have to ask for its legend if you want a clue on how to unlock it. Now then, can you all leave me alone? I need time for myself."[/quote]

Kerry would give a disapproving glare at Skar as he walked by before giving a sigh as she approached the grieving villager, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder.

[color=fff79a]"I wouldn't say it as bluntly as my teammate did, but he is right."[/color], Kerry spoke in a reassuring tone. [color=fff79a]"If you wish to serve penance for your flight, then pay by living. That's the best way to honor their death. Mourn for now, but for them...live."[/color]

[quote]"What, this piece of shit? Dismantle his armor that he's so proud of and turn him into a prisoner. Should make it fun. Might even ask him to dig a grave before I bury him."[/quote]

[color=fff79a]"As much as a big part of me very much wants to see him dig his own grave, taking him back to the temple as a prisoner is a better idea. The more info we get, the more prepared we are for anything the Varjans throw at us. Besides, we should take care that, while fighting these fuckers, we don't become as bad as them."[/color]

And with that, the trio began heading back toward Terauchi Temple.
