- That's wonderful. It seems your parents loved you very much, and you had a happy childhood that you enjoy remembering.

-- On the tenth... That was quite a challenge. My parents spoiled me with gifts, and there was Master Romsan, plus relatives and some childhood friends. I'll have to rack my brain; it's harder than remembering the Ice Queen. Oh well, if I get it wrong, you won't be able to check anyway, -- she winked. She thought for a moment.
-- Actually, Mom gave me an amber necklace, Dad gave me an expensive collection of chivalric romances that I haven't read yet... As a bonus, I was allowed to try lipstick for the first time on my birthday, but I had to wash it off almost immediately... They said it's best not to rush with makeup; it's not suitable for little girls, and it can damage the skin if you're not moderate. The Master gave me a wooden sword. It's funny that I was a little offended at first that it wasn't real, but when I looked closer, it was a beautiful blade, with more patterns than on my dress, and it was brightly colored... Well, there were other things, like various candies, and my aunt and uncle gave me a nice ring, but I don't remember that as well; those three gifts were the most valuable to me.
"No wonder she's so cheerful and energetic, always smiling. She was surrounded by a loving family from childhood, who encouraged her interests. It's surprising that she doesn't miss home..." Alaria interrupted her thought mid-sentence, "... I'm starting to understand what made her set out on her journey. I wonder what's harder: to have a loving family and lose it, or to never have a loving family at all? I don't remember any warmth or affection from my parents, other than what was formally necessary. And birthday gifts weren't common, because "worldly possessions corrupt the soul" and "expecting rewards for simply living another year is a sign of greed and laziness." Rote-learned dogmas and emptiness. It seems like Erephir and I are so similar, yet so different at the same time. She even said that she traveled on her own. And now it's becoming clear why – it's a defense mechanism. I hope I bring at least some small amount of home comfort into the redhead's life. It's clear that she needs it just as much as I do."

Beata and Guion exchanged a melancholic glance after Erefir's response. Beata wasn't even sure about the exact date of her birthday and allowed for a margin of error of plus or minus a week. Something from her childhood stuck in her memory – some relatives had celebrated her birthday once or twice shortly after the new year... But it was just an excuse for her parents to get completely drunk and argue, forgetting about the birthday girl after five minutes. The next time her birthday was celebrated, they kicked her out of the circus. Since then, she had celebrated either alone or with Guion, usually buying treats or something stronger and making impulsive purchases.
Guion's situation wasn't much better. On his birthday, he was usually berated, reminded of all the mistakes he had made during the year, and told that he was already a grown man, that he should pull himself together, think things through, and not disgrace his mother and father. The gifts were strictly practical or hinted that he needed to try harder, with no entertainment or anything for the soul. In the army, due to his introverted nature, he didn't have many friends, and he had already grown to dislike his birthday so much that he decided not to celebrate it at all. And then... then he started celebrating in a similar way to Beata, because it was her idea. For his first birthday, she found some cool healer who, for an exorbitant sum, restored his souvenirs from Lower Lunaria, and somehow managed to get a real festive cake... But it still couldn't replace the ruined childhood for either of them.

-- Yes... Thank you very much for the question, -- Phyr said, sounding slightly dreamy. -- But nothing lasts forever, neither in this world nor in any other. Perhaps someone in my place would say they want to return to that carefree time when the biggest problems seemed to be the tiny bumps on the carpet, but I don't think I've lost anything. Along with my memories, I've also kept all of my childhood.

-- Well then. Shall we move on? -- she looks at everyone, including who is online. -- Alaria, what weapon has been the most interesting and significant for you in this world and the other? If there was more than one, tell us about at least two.

-- While Alari is thinking, a question for everyone: perhaps we should slightly change the format? Many questions are phrased in a way that they could be asked to more than one person, especially with proper wording, so we could make them truly mass-oriented. The person asking would then determine not the recipient, but the next person to ask a question. What do you think? Or is it okay as it is now?

- We can leave it up to the person asking; they can ask everyone or just someone specific, - suggested Beata. ...the main thing is not to ask Gion what he received for his twentieth birthday, lol. He was hanging out in Lower Lunaria at the time, so the answer would be something like "Ten lashes with a whip" or "an XXL strap-on where the sun doesn't shine."

"Being nostalgic? Perhaps. Or maybe time has simply healed old wounds. Clinging to the past isn't very wise when you can't bring it back."
— A respectable position, Erefir. But you're generally a fighter at heart, so that's not surprising. Warm memories are exactly what help us overcome life's difficulties with our heads held high," Alaria nodded approvingly in response to the commander's words. "The most significant weapon, you mean... are you asking as a warrior or a blacksmith?" The inquisitor smiled slyly. "In my life, I've broken more than one sword and dulled more than one axe, so I'm a little ashamed to admit that... many of them have merged into one for me. They were not so much faithful companions as tools. One was replaced by another, and then by a third. These are the harsh realities of my craft, especially when the hide of one demon can split a sword blade into a thousand small fragments, and the acidic blood of another will render your axe useless. But there were a couple of exceptions to this rule: 'Triton' and 'Dignity'. There isn't much of an interesting story behind the first one, except that it was one of the first high-tech swords in the empire. At the time of its acquisition, it was almost the pinnacle of technological progress in that field. It served me faithfully, especially during my work for an organization similar to Carneol. But soon, 'Dignity' replaced it. This weapon was a masterpiece, created by the hands of Edis Rington and named after his forge. It was a richly ornamented weapon made of a special, unique alloy for that world. 'Dignity' combined an unusual lightness for a claymore, but without any loss of penetrating power – even the best armor was pierced by its blade as if through butter. I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but it overshadowed 'Triton'," the warrior looked carefully at those gathered, wondering whether to tell them the tragic story of the blacksmith, but ultimately decided not to tarnish the memory of the long-suffering master with her retellings. "Both swords arrived on Anush with me, but the process of moving negatively affected both me and their potential. They were still superior to their counterparts, but each weapon was no more than a shadow of its former self. And then, by fate, they both disappeared at the bottom of the sea. They traveled such a long way, only to meet such an inglorious fate for a sword," Alaria sighed heavily and shook her head disapprovingly. "On Anush, my track record is much more modest, if you don't count the 'locals' already mentioned, and it consists of two items. The first was Granhildr," she nodded affirmatively. "That very Granhildr. I learned about its historical value much later, after I parted with it. But even without that, it turned out to be a significant weapon for me. For example, it was thanks to it that I once met Ayko, a part of whose magic this legendary sword has carried with it ever since. I would like to tell you about the exploits I accomplished with this weapon in my hands, but I never had the opportunity to use it for its intended purpose. Nevertheless, it was still my faithful companion, which will forever remain in my memory. And the second item is this beauty," the inquisitor gently ran her hand over the scabbard of the Flame of Hope. "You've probably seen its brothers and sisters in His Eminence's shop. One of many field swords, once a nameless weapon from an unknown master. By the way, I gave it its name not so long ago – during our confrontation with Despair. This confrontation is the only, but no less significant, event in which it has participated. But I am sure that in the future, many glorious victories await us," the Tanarian smiled warmly, placing her hand on the hilt of the nodachi. "That's about it. I hope my story has satisfied your curiosity.

- We can leave it to the discretion of the person asking; they can ask everyone or someone specific, - suggested Beata.
-- I don't know... The asymmetry in this question might slightly disrupt the romantic atmosphere of one-on-one conversations: some will have it, and some won't. But alright, let's conduct an experiment: starting with the next question, if desired, you can address them to all the Carneolians at once!

I hope my story satisfied your curiosity.
-- It certainly did. Triton, Dignity, Granhildr, and Flame of Hope. As a blacksmith, I can almost visualize their appearance and properties, especially after such a detailed description, although three... No, two out of the four I've never encountered. So, Granhildr was in your possession for a while, and then it changed hands to our unfortunate, alas, recruit. Interesting. You did manage to get acquainted with it, with that Gorazdia, right?

-- Well. Who knows, maybe the remaining two swords will one day rise from the bottom of the ocean; right now, they're just artifacts. I think that's all from me; you can throw the potato now

— At the time of her joining the ranks of Carnelian, I didn't have the chance to meet her – I only know about her from stories. We did meet before, but it was limited to exchanging names and a couple of casual phrases. Alaria decided to keep the secret of "Gorazdia" hidden, out of respect for the deceased victim of the Shadow creatures' experiments. As for how Granhildr ended up in her hands, I have no idea. I was going to ask her about it myself.

— I certainly hope so. In my home world, one of the main advantages of "Triton" was its indestructibility, which was the result of technological progress. So, there is a chance that it will survive a similar fate. However, as far as I can tell, it seems to have lost that property after being transported here. But I agree with you and hope for the best – such a weapon belongs in a museum or in the hands of a worthy owner, not among the fish.

— Alright. In that case, my question will be addressed to Astellia. I tried to ask her about this earlier, but the arrival of guests interrupted our conversation. How do you find life in Margel compared to your native Lauria?

-- I know that swords often remain well-preserved at the bottom of seas, rivers, and swamps, even for hundreds of years: silt is a sufficiently good anaerobic environment for this, -- the redhead assured the inquisitor.

"I'm sorry too, Klin. Unfortunately, I don't know how to bake cakes that remove undead curses."
— Don't worry, I'll stuff you with so many sweet treats as soon as you get off it," she puts her hand on the knight's shoulder and squeezes it tightly, "so that you won't be able to look at sweets afterward!

"Well, that's... yes, that's what I said. And now you've joined with the ability to build forts in the middle of the field, like a real legionary," the knight nodded. "Well then. Guys, let's thank Alaria, I'll pour tea and coffee for everyone and we'll get started. ) And should we give Klin something to take with him, as usual?

"Take some for your friend," Beata smirked mysteriously. "I saw her briefly, and she definitely wouldn't mind treating herself to more delicious things," she added normally, with warmth in her voice.
—Well, if you have an extra piece left, I'll take it with me, thank you," the Kredian thanked his friendly companions.

"Could the second one be the sword I fished out from under the rubble and gave to Sanex? If so, that would be awkward..."
