[h3]The Hunter's Dream[/h3]
“Paper... like this?” Torquil mused, reaching into the pouch on his hip and retrieving a thin strip of bluish paper, with one side covered in a curious ferrous-looking dust. “This fell out earlier when I took off the other set of armor.”
Gerlinde glanced at it and nodded her head. “What luck! That's bolt paper! Just rub it on a weapon and it'll be sparkling with electricity for a while.” She turned to Ophelia. “And sure, I'll try my Horn of the Old Lords. Handy little thing, works as well as fire paper and only costs a quicksilver bullet to power it.”

The doll and the Shopkeeper appeared to listen intently to Ophelia's recollection of the foe they had discovered awaiting them in the Old Labyrinth. As usual the Shopkeeper merely stood there, seemingly silent, while the doll started conveying their message: “The hind body sounds to be more trouble than it is worth, good Hunter; too dangerous to get near and not particularly vulnerable. The more humanoid front sounds like a much better target, though that is likely also where her attention will be focused and where her hands, sword and maw are. By your description, Arrayah seems to maintain a surprising amount of humanity despite her twisted form... and considering that she may be the counterpart to the one the Shopkeeper took the Holy Moonlight Sword from – Ludwig – you should expect this to be an extremely tough battle.”
Pausing to glance hesitantly at the Shopkeeper, the doll finally added: “The Shopkeeper also remarks that you should not assume to understand Arrayah's sword. If it is truly the counterpart to the Holy Moonlight Sword, it is likely that it, too, will only reveal its true power after transforming.”
