The Journey's Gift
After finishing training and returning to my room, I found a package left at my door.
A package with no sender?
Hmph, don't look at me. I'd never waste my time on such childish pranks. What do you take the a Rhys for?
You probably just forgot about some promotional giveaway you signed up for.
...Huh? You really don't remember at all?
*Sigh* Give it here for a second.
Hmm... this seems to be a [charm].
You clearly have no idea what it is, so I'll explain just this once.
[Charms] are said to be relics tied to the [Star Savior] of the past.
They're said to be items once carried by the [Star Savior], or made by the descendants of those who shared a bond with him.
Normally, they're just ordinary trinkets. Nothing special.
But the [Journey] itself is a ritual. One that retraces the [Star Savior]'s path to inherit his power.
Even a simple needle can serve as a tool in a curse ritual, right?
It's the same principle. These ordinary objects can manifest mysterious powers during the [Journey].
That doesn't mean it's worth collecting them all, though.
Only one of them will truly awaken its value when bound by a special connection with you.
Now, pick whichever one catches your eye.
And don't forget that you owe me lifelong gratitude for sharing such rare knowledge.
I still wondered who had sent the package, but there was no name written anywhere.
Since it was clearly addressed to me, I decided to choose one and make good use of it.
