Dal Shabet

- Yes, boss, I am indeed from the White Lands,” the foreign warrior said calmly and, in a way, even loudly, although he wasn’t shouting or raising his voice; that was just his manner. “The most important thing in the north is warmth: good clothes and, of course, fire. Without it, you can’t survive a single day in my homeland. As for the Borderlands… even my people refuse to go there; the cold becomes even more brutal, and all sorts of monsters and even giants roam the snows.
- Brr, I must admit, I don’t really like the cold,” the woman said, feeling a little uneasy at the mention of the White Lands. “I’ve been in Nevermore for about three years now. You probably know that my people have no homeland and that we all wander the world, either looking for a place for ourselves or… just wasting our lives. Once, I traveled with a small group of my people and practiced martial arts from an early age. By the age of seventeen, I could easily defeat any adult I encountered, at least if I had my swords. This, of course, doesn’t include the famous Laust Brightstrider, with whom I crossed swords shortly before he was declared wanted. I think I put up a good fight, but I was still no match for him; the man is simply incredible. Anyway, I was already traveling alone, constantly looking for worthy opponents to improve my skills. This continued until I met a man in Dal Shabet. As with other talented swordsmen, we fought very hard and for a long time, but unlike everyone else, I just couldn’t defeat him. And he couldn’t defeat me. So we spent quite a long time together, and then… we fell in love. After a while, we got married, and I finally had a home, and then…” The girl’s eyes filled with sadness. “Dal Shabet exploded, and with it, my husband’s life was taken. I survived, but I was badly injured and became easy prey for the Nevermore vultures.

- Greetings. My name is Tarvitz. I am a mage. I watched your battle against the abyss demon in the arena and was impressed by your skills. I especially liked how you managed to come back to life after what seemed like death. And in general, how you dealt with the demon. That’s why I came. Perhaps you can teach me something?

The old man stroked his long beard with his fingers and chuckled nastily. - People find it much more pleasant to watch lightning fly and bright lights explode. Few people like this worm trick, but do you want to have such an ability?
