Chapter 66: Ready for the Inevitable
I then went to the Master Blacksmith to retrieve my weapons.
A detail, long buried in my memory, came back to me on the way: my base class, Light Warrior, allowed the use of sabers.
This possibility resonated with my deepest preferences.
I had always favored reach, the fluidity of long blades, their precise and lethal dance... rather than the short and blunt brutality of daggers.
My choice had been clear.

Their balance, their discreet shine, the finesse of their curve... everything about them breathed mastery.
As I took them in hand, I immediately felt they were perfect.
My companions for the trials to come.

Identification (Adept) – Name: The First Slash | Rank: Legendary | Bound to its bearer and its twin saber, the blade cannot be passed on without consent. In case of theft or betrayal, it becomes dead weight in unworthy hands. It can also whisper to warn of an impending betrayal.
