🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Ushumgallu shivered. He could no longer attack, dodge, or even stand – but he knew for sure that if Kir challenged him to another fight, he would be able to grab a talwar and fight again. And again. Until his heart stopped or his head was cut off. 
The Calcitec smirked. He was in a great mood, his pulse throbbed in his ears, his muscles burned, and he felt like something more than just a man. Ushumgallu even forgot to think about the strangeness of this morning. 
– Sir Kir! What awaits us in tomorrow's training? 

- And how... How can you have so much enthusiasm... - Sheila, sprawled on the ground, said with great difficulty. - I don't feel my arms or legs... I'm so tired that I won't even be able to sleep. 
- It sounds paradoxical, - Honor smirked; although he was also tired, he was in slightly better physical and mental condition than the girl, - but I also can't wait for tomorrow.
- Tomorrow... - Sir Kir paused for a moment. - I will teach you to kill.
- K-kill? - Iliman couldn't believe his ears. - How is that possible?... 
- There is nothing to be afraid of here. For now, your opponent will not be a person, but without overcoming this threshold, you will never become a true warrior.

– Oh, you are right, Madam Kimchilla, – agreed Camistella. – Enlil is full of beauty, manners, and opportunities. It is not some crude city of warriors or a deceitful city of merchants. Art reigns here! True talent is valued here, not a bought imitation, as is the case in other parts of the world.

- Exactly, - agreed the rich woman, - frankly, Enlil deserves to be considered the capital of our kingdom; the only reason why this is not the case is, apparently, that capitals tend to have a large number of commoners, which is not desirable. Nevertheless... Lady Camistella, if there is nothing in our glorious city that your soul desires, but there is something in others - please, let the borders not be a reason to suppress your undoubtedly great potential.

😞 Alright, let's go.

Having arrived at (presumably) the right house, Himal knocked on their door several times, but no one answered. 
- It seems that no one is home.
