☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- I believe so. Based on priorities, first, enchant your weapon, as we both wanted, -- said the grasshopper, surrounded by a pile of papers at the blacksmith's table. -- It's time for Starfall to reach its true level of power! And in the meantime, let Gar buy... Alari decided to help, right? Well, then, ten volumes.

"What a strange abbreviation of the name – just one letter shorter. Perhaps she wants to show affection this way and considers using the full name too formal, but couldn't she, I don't know, call her Ria? Although, I'm not sure if even that would suit me. It evokes slightly different associations in my mind."

-- 1900 for the enchantment, 3100 for the books + 620 from me + 1210 from Alari + 70 from Gia. Or however you want, there will still be a couple of rems left for everyone.

While handing over the money, the Tanarrian couldn't help but notice the irony of the situation. Here she is, using a third of the funds that Naria allocated for "personal expenses" specifically for her, and it's ultimately being used to finance yet another mission to eliminate an apostle. One could attribute it to a clever game, calculated a thousand steps ahead, but even Larian Twice wouldn't have come up with such a cunning, multi-layered plan. This was Alari's personal choice, and no one influenced her. After all, what is a thousand rems compared to the fate of an entire city? Compared to the fate of an empire? It was somewhat unpleasant to be without savings after the Despair, but that's how things were unfolding – there was no other way.

I think the Hero of Arseidia could have visited her, but I'm not sure. The hair color is different, of course...

Did Arseidia offer him to stop being undead? It was Anuzish, that's why she had Mysterius in her hands. She offered Klin to return to the cycle of souls, to stop being undead, in exchange for the weapon that tears other souls out of this cycle.
