[PP-F21][E3] Cardinal's Offering - Swordsman's Journey (Nature's Treasure)


Recommended Posts

Just finishing his morning meal, Raidou walks to the sink with his dish.  He decided to quickly wash the dishes from yesterday and today so that there was no build up. After dishes get washed he takes his glasses off and sets them to the side. Raidou splashes his face with water, grabs a towel to dry off, and places his frame back on his face. Knowing that he had another long day ahead of him he quickly gathers his gear and begins to head out the door. Avoiding all eyes once again as he hides in the shadows and behind the buildings around town trying to get to the circle that would bring him to his destination for today. Back against the corner of a building with the teleportation pad in view, Raidou looks around quickly making sure the coast is clean then quickly runs to it. The moment his foot touches the glowing pad he whispers "Floor 21."

Raidou's body became like a feather for a split second before his feet hit the ground again. Raidou swiftly makes his way to the cave. Arriving in the familiar place the dampened cave smell hits his nose and can't help but sneeze. Rubbing his nose and readjusting his glasses back on his face, Raidou heads straight for the herbs. Easily finding the first patch, taking his robe off and placing it on the damp cave floor in front of the colorful plants. Getting on his knees, Raidou hands start to wave above slowly as he determines which materials are fit enough to place into his satchel. After all the good qualities come into view he begins to quickly but gently pick them from the damp soil that is holding them. A few minutes pass before Raidou gets to his feet and places the potion materials into the proper bag and ties it back to his belt.

Picking his robe up he proceeds to the next set of herbs. Like clockwork, getting used to the patterns that seem to be repeated, Raidou places the robe on the ground in front of the patch, getting down on his knees and starts the elimination process. Slowly waving one hand over the patch this time, as the good qualities become clear, Raidou picks it up with his other hand hoping that he can make this take less time. After collecting all that he could, Raidou gets to his feet and carefully places them in his pouch. After he ties the bag back to his belt, Raidou glances around but sees nothing more of the herbs around. Hoping that there was more deeper in, he picks the robe up and throws it over his arm and starts walking through the cave to find more patches to collect from before moving on to the next material.

Walking deeper into the cave a few more patches of herbs become visible to him. Thinking because he collected one extra food item yesterday, he might as well collect one extra of something else today. Setting his robe to the ground in front of the first patch, putting his knees to the fabric and starts slowly waving one hand over the yellow herbs. The moment that glow shows up, Raidou picks them with the other hand and sets them aside. Time passes as he picks all that he could from this patch, Raidou collects what he set aside, placing all of them in his pouch one at a time to keep them in perfect condition. Getting to his feet and picking up his robe from the ground Raidou’s eyes glanced to where that last patch was, but it seemed to de-spawned while he was gathering from the last one. With a shake of his head Raidou continues forward.

Raidou takes a small amount of time to find another node to gather from and with little effort his eyes come across a crate with a silver trim around the edges. From the looks of it the box is old and barely holding together. The container itself is dark brown and the wood has some cracks forming on the surface. Riadou takes his blade from its holster, as it drops to the ground due to the weight. Lifting his weapon from the ground, Raidou places the tip in a small crevice to pry the top off. His blade slips a bit causing it to break one of the metal support rods, making the damaged holder fall apart in every direction. The materials are now visible so Raidou sheathes his sword until it's needed again. Claiming the content of bolts and silk spoils, Raidou continues looting objects near him to keep the guild hall stocked full.

Raidou's eyes search the area around him finding a web in the corner just to the left of him. This silky content has a silver blue shine to it. Making his way toward it and with further inspection, Raidou brushes the tip of his finger across it. This feels cold to the touch and his mind intently thinks of Setsuna. A small smirk forms as Raidou quickly glances downward toward his feet to find a twig. With luck just off to his side there is a broken piece of box thin enough for what he was intending to use it for. Taking this into his hand Raidou carefully wraps the fragile material against it , making a spoil from the ice cold blue colored silk. Raidou places this mysterious substance in his bag. Conveying this section of the cave for more tailoring product and eventually his vision sets onto another crate that was already half open.

Raidou's feet splash against the watery flooring as he is eager to reveal the content if any at all. His eyes looked over this broken up crate but at further inspection it was not busted but left open. The container itself was a newer light wood that seemed to be untouched. Inside the box were a few torn leathers and light blue fabrics, enough to do detailing on some armor. With a closer examination, some silver and blue bolts of thread lay just underneath the lid. Collecting each material with a turn of the wrist trying to make sense of these objects found. With a small thought, Raidou wants to get these to Setsuna quickly for further information. Taking another peer into the holding but not finding anything else of use, Raidou goes over his metal checklist. Time passes before coming back to reality and with a swift decision, deciding to find food for his Chef.

Quickly examining the area, Raidou's sight falls upon a medium sized wicker basket. Moving across the wet ground brings him to this strange placement container that seems at further inspection to be made of tough string or rope. The color was tan with every other fitting keeping it together dark brown. The top trimming was a dark yellow with braided quality upon it. Crouching down and peering inside this multiple colored holding were some bright yellow lemons and darkened green limes. Thinking of the meals that he has been consuming in the morning before he heads out, Raidou smiles just a bit before taking these fruits in hand. Feeling each tart content for firmness, he collects the ripe ones into his inventory and the soft almost molded, throwing them aside. Taking longer than he wanted to, Raidou finally gets done gathering what he could and gets to his feet, surveying the location of which he stands trying to find more produce.

Raidou sets sights on a small patch of mushrooms in the distance. Making his way toward this produce, Raidou discovers that these took a golden coloring. Fluorescent lighting from the cavern walls reflects off causing a slight shine against their silk like skin. Raidou crouches next to them and tries picking one from the lot. The moment Raidou has it grasped inside his palm, it crumbles into a powder like texture. Oddly enough though it's gold color stayed intact. Raidou takes a pinch of this substance between his fingers with his free hand. Taking a taste of it, a sweet but salty combination flows through his pallet. With that, Raidou takes an empty chem bottle from his pocket, knowing eventually he would need to grab more. Popping the cap, Raidou makes a funnel shape and carefully dumps the remains of specks into the clear confinement. Each one Raidou takes a hold of, he follows the same pattern.

Quick visual around the perimeter, something peers reflective within his sights. Making his way toward this object he finds glass shards painted across the ground. With further inspection, Raidou sees what looks like a lock mechanism on the ground and some rocks that might have fallen from the ceiling. Raidou comes to the conclusion that this could have been a fragile container that broke upon impact of earth falling above that should have been difficult to open. Searching the small area, Raidou eyes fall upon some cave carrots spread out from the burst of the containment. These carrots did not look normal, they took on a dark brown color with deep green leaves shooting from the top in every direction. Without thought, Raidou walks to each produce item and stashes them in his inventory. Time passes as he glances for other products and when no more were visible Raidou decides to move on to the next items on his mental checklist.

With quick calculations running through Raidou's mind, he surveys the area for ore. Not seeing anything of note, Raidou continues deeper into the cave. Searching intensely, his eyes fall upon a couple large rocks. Further inspection within these rounded stones, minerals of blue on one and red on the other, spreading across each surface. Pulling out his weapon as the blades end meets the ground, closing the distance between him and the soon to be ingots. Sending the sword into an upward strike making contact to the first potential target. While still in the air, Raidou shifts his position and uses the weight of it for a down bash causing a direct hit against the boulder. Shattering into a few potential ingots, Raidou places the Black Star back to his inventory till another time. Crouching down toward the wreckage, Raidou gathers the fragments with the most bluish veins of coloring flowing through them. After collecting what proves to be useful he moves to the next.

With little distance between him and the other mineral filled rock, Raidou removes his weapon with the intentions to break it open. A swing upward toward his target as on connecting, sparks fly in every direction between them. Shifting his feet to a different position, Raidou uses the weight of his blade for another downward strike. Forcing a direct hit, causing the boulder to shatter apart on impact beneath the sword. Jagged stone and red ore fragments color the surface area. Placing the Black Star back in its holding for now, Raidou crouches to sort through the small wreckage that lies before him. Shifting the rocks around trying to find the ones with the most red veins flowing on their surface. Taking each into his grasp, placing the contents of use in his satchel. Some time passes before he feels like he grabbed a good amount. Raidou gets to his feet knowing that another node of the same product had to be found.

A few quick glances around the area proves that nothing more could be gathered. Without hesitation, Raidou heads further into the cavern. The lighting around him flickers as Raidou's swift movement beside the torches causes a slight gust of wind, making the flames damper for a moment. In the distance Raidou comes across a large open room that seems to be also a dead end. Focusing his vision as he surveys the room, Raidou's sight falls upon a mine-cart slightly off it's tracks. The railway seems to lead into the wall like there was supposed to be something more through the wall. Closing the distance and with further investigation, where they led was in fact a doorway that had a small cave-in. Large boulders fill where the entrance would have been. Raidou peers into the old dusted metal cart and inside there are chunks of what looked like coal. Figuring that Griswold could somehow make use of this mineral, Raidou gathers the biggest of the lot and continues with the task at hand.

Surveying the area, Raidou catches a glimpse of a crystallized node that takes the form of a flower. Thinking of Shiina, Raidou heads that way to inspect it closer. Better viewing shows the light hitting the crystals which purvey a rainbow of colors reflecting off them. Placing his palm to the top, Raidou moves it back and forth carefully as to now shatter the beauty before him. Time passes before Raidou breaks it loose from it’s holding. Putting this into his inventory, Raidou repeats the process. With each shard detached he carefully places them together to where they don’t collide so much together. More time escapes from the day than he wanted. Gathering all that he could from this section, Raidou’s mind races through options of which would make this faster. Several moments pass before a possible solution comes into mind. Quickly glancing around and finding another, Raidou makes haste toward it.

Taking the same form and coloring as the last, Raidou doesn’t waste any time. Placing a palm of these crystals he intensely watches the bottom half as his hand begins to move it. Instead of a back and forth movement, Raidou creates a circle movement in hopes that it will break off fast but not shatter. With a slow and gentle motion, the recorder pops free. Thinking a small comment out loud “Yes, Faster”, Raidou places it in with the others and continues this newly founded thought. Minutes quickly pass before this source falls empty. Surveying the area to find one more gathering point, Raidou peers across the wet grounds to find a large black plastic crate. As he tries to focus on this new content his vision starts to blur a bit. Taking his glasses from his face, Raidou rubs his eyes with two fingers. Realizing he might be more exhausted than he knew, Raidou says “Just a bit more” as frames are placed back to his head and proceed to the container.

Every footfall echoing against the walls of the cavern with a splash of liquid dampening his shoes. At further inspection of this container, the edges are sharp as if a blade was taken to it. Condensation drips from its frame and the station where it lays upon smells as if something died around it. This inflames the inside of his nose and Raidou can’t help but cover it with his sleeve. The content that sits loosely in this container are recording crystals. These were not like the others as they were dark purple instead of blue. Wanting to escape this foul smell, Raidou quickly gathers what he can from this odd area and walks away from the horrendous scent. Pulling his cloth away and taking a small sniff into the air to make sure he was in the clear. Refocusing, Raidou determines what is left to collect before the sun meets its end.

Careful thinking makes it clear that the only thing left was Kasumi’s gems. Promptly surveying his surroundings and catching nothing, Raidou heads toward the beginning of the cavern to see what he could see that wasn’t there before. Listening to nature taking its course around him, Raidou hears water dripping from above and hitting the platform below with a small echo illuminating the room. Eventually, Raidou gets to his destination and without thought, Raidou scans the room for anything of gem properties. Raidou not finding anything besides herb patches comes to the conclusion that nothing of such quality had spawn today. Accepting this, Raidou takes off his robe and places it in front of these plants. Taking to his knees, he slowly waves his hands across the tops of these herbs. Revealing what could be removed, he picks them gently adding the yellow content to his collections. Getting to his feet and reclaiming his robe Raidou moves to the next.

Most of the cave lay barren but the central area still housed quite the number of herbs, to which Raidou would happily obtain. A pass of the ginger brush of his fingertips over the protruding leaves shows a glimmer of gold as a few coins a level of maturity through their red hues. Locking on to those that seemed of age, a break of root fills around him with each pull removing a stock of medicinal plant matter that finds a home in a small pile upon his red robe. Growing steadily with each sound, it takes little time before the pile starts to be rather large as Raidou was in his element.

Emptying out a small square foot Raidou shifts himself in a grid like pattern, a step to his right in a comb of all that was available for nothing less then everything of value would suffice to sate.

The patch begins to empty it in earnest removal of all it would offer, eventually turning from a low layer of red to a field of slightly pinkish tufts and mostly barren soil. Tapping his hands together with the end of a successful harvest kicking a layer of dirt from the ridges on his hands, Raidou pulls out bags set aside for such things and begins to deposit the lot away for transit. Moments pass in what seems like an instant as routine takes hold, and with a rip of the lasts cable, the bag comes closed and is hooked to his frame fit for travel. Retrieving his robe and kicking off some of the sediment and moisture that had clung to it, wrapping it around his person in a flourish Raidou takes a quick scan around to perceive any chest the Cardinal may have snuck in to which no response.

This beckons an exit from the nomad for the journey was complete and the yield was adequate enough to stave off starvation for at least one more day. Exiting from whence he came through the entry that was concealed by a thick yellow fog, a inhale halting the sting in his lungs while he heads into Tolbana and finalizes the quest. A hop to the warp gate and a muttered phrase tear reality in a bend of space taking him home. Dropping a layer of bags amongst the others, removing his robe to the back of his chair Raidou settles in and begins to process an equal chore as white porcelain begins to clank together in a basin of water. To most a daunting task but to the nomad who frequented it, it was relaxing and trivial nothing more than a daily routine that recurred in eternity.

For Firm Anima.
