Chapter II

Lamps filled with Fire Magicite gave off a red glow bringing light to a small workshop. The red crystals that harnessed magical energy were a common source of power throughout the Kingdom of Dalmasca. Here in the city of Clestia magicite could be found by the barrel full. The city rested by a lake on the Dalmasca-Gestahlian border and was the technological capital of its Kingdom. Queen Ashe and her husband Vaan made sure that the town was well protected to prevent invasion. Moving the city was out of the question, the natural resources around Clestia allowed it to function on its own for the most part. They had the third largest magicite mine in the Kingdom, the lake provided them with food, the river provided them with source of power and all the weapons within were a great deterrent for invasion. Sadly all the benefits the town had also made it a perfect starting point should Gestahlian want to start a war. Take out the weapon makers and you would weaken Dalmasca greatly. So not only did Clestia house the largest collection of the Kingdom's scientists but also the largest garrison outside of the capital city Rabanastre.

Now inside the workshop was a tall man with short flat brown hair hunched over a desk. He was wearing a stereotypical white coat and had on a pair of goggles. The lens magnified his golden eyes to comic proportions as he tinkered with a device on his desk. His pale hand held a screwdriver steady as he fiddled with a stubborn screw that didn't want to go into the hole he'd made for it. He knew that the screw would fit, all it was the same size hole and same size screw as all the others he had made on the device. For some reason it just didn't want to go in and let him finish his new prototype. Just about ready to flip the table over in frustration, sending various metal objects from other experiments onto the floor, the screw slid in and let him finish his new weapon. Lying on his desk in front of the scientist were two ordinary looking pistols. Picking one of them up he felt the smooth wood covered handle rest in his palm. His index finger fit perfectly against the trigger leaving enough room for some wiggle room. The circular chamber above the trigger was a metallic grey and would slide out to the right for reloading. Its barrel was a slender four inches long. Popping open the chamber you wouldn't find normal slots designed for bullets, there wasn't a hammer or any such thing on the gun either. No, when you opened the chamber you'd find it practically empty, only a small set of runes carved inside. Taking a blue magicite crystal out of his desk draw the scientist popped it into the chamber. Pointing the now loaded gun at the far wall he squeezed the trigger. An orb of water blasted out of the tip of the barrel and into the wall leaving a fairly large dent.

"Finally got it to work eh?" a bored female voice asked with mock admiration. Standing in the doorway was a tall girl, only a few inches shorter than the man. She had blonde hair hung down to her ears. Like the man she had golden eyes that seemed to drink in the red light from the crystals. She had a large chest even though it was hard to tell as she hid it under a baggy shirt. Her skin was slightly darkened from having spent hours under the sun. "Honestly Brother I don't understand why you want this thing to work so badly."

"Because Mika," the gun's owner said as he placed his goggles on the desk along with the gun, "these things are already more accurate than normal guns. They don't have the piercing power that bullets do but they're made for fighting monsters not humans."

"Are you still working on those things Solaris?" another female voice asked from behind Mika, this one soft and soothing. Mika stepped out of the doorway into the room revealing a woman of average height. She had dark blue hair that fell down to her shoulders, when it wasn't pulled back into a ponytail, and sapphire blue eyes. Contrasting her dark blue hair was her alabaster skin that refused to grow any darker no matter how many hours she spent outside. She wore a tight fitting blouse showing how little developed she was compared to the blonde woman beside her. Her hips though were something that could lead men to an early grave as they gave chase.

"Rin I told you time and time before, they're not for killing humans." Sol sighed exasperated from explaining to the woman once again that he wasn't out to kill his fellow man. "Our elemental affinity isn't as pronounced as the monsters. I mean yeah ones loaded with Fire, Thunder, or Earth Magicite will have killing potential but the others would take too much power to kill as easily as normal guns."

"Still Sol, Rin's got a point. They are dangerous." Mika sided with the bluenette, not at all surprising to Sol."

"Mika, you don't have to agree with your girlfriend on every little thing you know." Sol was used to Mika taking Rin's side on any argument he had with her. More often than not Mika agreed with Rin just to argue with him. She may be his older sister but he was by far the more mature one.

"No I actually think these things are dangerous. Remember how your last one exploded and you lost your eyebrows for like three weeks?" Mika was snickering as she remembered what Sol looked like minus his eyebrows.

"Exactly why I loaded a Water Magicite rather than a Fire one this time, I didn't want a repeat of it either." He had been the butt of too many jokes while his eyebrows had grown back to even want to think of trying the guns out with Fire Magicite again. Not to mention the risk of injury they carried. "So Rin, how goes your research into the Moonseed berries? Found a way to combat the symptoms yet?"

"I'm hitting a wall," Rin grumbled. Researchers within the walled city of Clestia didn't just work on mechanical advances they worked on a little bit of everything. Rin was one of the leading botanists in the city. Some of the most recent advances in herbalism came from her team. They were the ones to discover that by taking a plant called Feverfew when brewed could help with joint pain and relieve headaches. However, to get the best effect from the plant you would need to take it daily. "I can counteract the abdominal pain and the indigestion no sweat. It's the paralysis they can induce that I'm having problems with. Without a test subject to study on it's difficult to figure out how they interact with the human body." More researchers than they were comfortable with had no problems with testing out their products on their fellow man. For things like the Moonseed a human test subject was ideal as birds seemed able to eat the plant with no problems rendering any test on them pointless. Rin didn't like using animals either, meaning she had to wait for someone to ingest the plant first before she could try and counter it. Sadly enough she had more than enough test subjects willing to subject themselves to her treatments.

"Well I'm sure you'll work it out on the next one, the massed know you're researching the plant. No doubt some of the men will eat the drupes so they can get close to you," Mika joked patting Rin on the back.

"They get so disappointed when I tell them I'm seeing someone," Rin sighed sadly.

"Tell them you're dating my sister, I'm sure their tune would change after that." Sol chuckled as he returned to his desk popping the magicite out of the gun and loading in a black crystal instead.

"Solaris!" Rin shouted in disbelief. It wasn't like him to make such a comment. He was always the level headed one of the two siblings. For him to have made a joke like that... "Sol when was the last time you slept?"

"Hmm?" Sol looked confused and then started counting on his fingers. "Two or three days ago I guess."

"Last time you ate?" Rin continued her line of questioning.

"When was it Mika brought me that meal you had made?"

"Bed, now" Rin pointed towards the door. Sol had a habit of working through meals and sleep to see a project done, that meal had been yesterday's breakfast. Whenever this happened his personality shifted a bit to more resemble his sister's more comedic personality. He wasn't as bad as Mika, but the family resemblance was certainly clearer. Normally Sol was calm and reasoned everything out, including choosing his words carefully. He wasn't the type to make such a joke, or any joke really, when he had proper sleep and nourishment. Some might call him cold but he was just shy and only once he was comfortable with you would you see the more caring side.

With a large yawn Sol headed out of the room, lack of sleep finally catching up with him since he was no longer fueled by the desire to finish the magicite pistols. Knowing that Sol could very well fall asleep as he walked towards his room within the castle for the researchers, Rin and Mika followed after him. Sol stopped only a few feet away from the door before turning back around. Rin stood in front of him looking up right into his eyes daring him to try and get past her. Producing a key out of his lab coat Sol placed it in Rin's hand. He didn't want anyone walking into his workshop so easily and take his twin pistols. When they arrived at his room, just another door among many others with no markings, Sol waved goodbye and headed into his room to catch up on some much needed sleep.

"You take good care of him Rin." Mika smiled and wrapped her arm around Rin's waist. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you have a thing for my brother."

"He just needs someone to look after him, like a certain someone else I know." Mika looked anywhere but at Rin knowing that she was talking about her.

"I can take care of myself," Mika tried to defend herself.

"Right, and which one of us burnt their finger cooking dinner last night, after cutting the same finger slicing up the tomatoes?" Rin teased. It had been an accident prone day for Mika while fixing the evening meal. Thankfully Rin kept the house they shared well stocked with various healing remedies, some of them experimental, and was able to treat both wounds with ease.

"You know Sol's right, if you told the men that came to you we're dating I'm sure you'd have more than enough test subjects."

"Uh-uh, don't try to change the subject Mika."

"Alright fine, I'd probably had a few missing fingers or something if I didn't have you looking out for me," Mika huffed taking her arm off Rin and crossing her arms pretending to be mad, she could be quite the child when she wanted to be. It was all part of her charm though, coupled with her enthusiasm for anything that caught her interest and her determination to see things through till the end made her very appealing to Rin. There was a very obvious downside to dating Mika. She was a flirt. It was like a knee-jerk reaction when she saw a girl she thought was pretty. It had been fine when they had first started out, but now two years later with Mika still flirting with a random girl Rin was starting to get very annoyed. Rin knew that Mika thought nothing of it, it was just how she was with other girls. To be honest it didn't even seem like Mika knew that she was flirting she was just doing what her brain told her to do.

"And don't you forget that," Rin said happily as she took Mika's hand and lead her out of the castle.

-o-O-o-

Sol woke up to the sounds of an avalanche coming from his stomach. He really needed to learn when to stop his research and go grab a meal. Wouldn't do too well if he went and worked himself to death, then he'd never be able to complete any of his projects. Rolling out of bed and getting into a fresh change of clothes, the same thing just a different set, Sol headed out of his room. Rubbing his eyes to get the sleep out of them, he bumped into a few people as he walked down the hall. Ignoring his stomach Sol went right back to his workshop. He ran into a problem at the door, Rin still had the key, but that was easily fixed with the minimal magic power that Sol possessed. Going over to his desk Sol checked the magicite that he had loaded into the pistols. One still had the Dark crystal loaded into it while the other was empty. Taking out a purple magicite and loading it into the chamber Sol placed the gun back down and grabbed a magicite crystal for each element and placed them in his coat pocket. Taking a set of holsters he had ordered made off the hook next to his desk, he strapped them to his thighs to make the guns sit right where his hands fell when he was standing for an easier draw. Once the holsters were strapped on Sol placed the guns in and walked around a bit getting used to the feel of them on his legs. Satisfied with how they felt Sol headed back out of his workshop to find something to quiet his stomach. Weapons weren't allowed in the halls of the castle except for transportation to another room. Sol got around this rule as his pistols were prototypes and technically couldn't be classified as a weapon until completion, many were trying to get this loophole overthrown but until that time Sol was going to exploit it.

As one might imagine the dining hall in the castle was pretty packed with people as it serviced the entire castle, scientists and the cleaning staff. Sol had another option that most of the others didn't, it was called Mika's home. While Sol lived in the castle his sister did not. About five months ago Rin and Mika had gotten a place together and they had told Sol he was welcome to come over whenever he wanted. So faced with homemade meals courtesy of his sister or Rin compared to mass produced crap, Sol picked a home cooked meal. Taking the stairs from the sixth floor down to the ground floor Sol debated walking to the dining hall conveniently located on the opposite side of the exit. People milled about the main floor's entrance hall. Many were people who worked in the building though you could spot a few people that didn't belong. Mercenaries, merchants, and the like hired by the people inside the castle for protection or to collect an item that couldn't be found nearby. Sweet and tasty smells wafted out into the room as the doors to the dining hall opened up letting a small group of five exit. The longer he thought about how hungry he was the more he just wanted something to eat and then get started on testing his inventions. Desire for good food won out and Sol walked briskly out of the large castle.

Stepping out into the sunlight Sol put a hand up to block the light from assaulting his eyes. Clestia was a crowded city, buildings were placed right next to one another with barely any space in between. Most of the structures near the research center were two floors high to accommodate all the belongings that the merchants brought with them. There were no fewer than six inns within the walled city to house all the people that made their way to Clestia. The buildings closest to the large stone castle were shops that sold anything from your normal supplies such as food, dinnerware, vases, anything you'd put in a house to the more crazed items such as monster parts. Monster parts, slime, and the such was for the researchers more than the normal citizens but there had been accounts of many people buying scales to make into necklaces or some other jewelry. Beyond all the shops was the residential district home to, well homes. It was split into two small districts those with money that could afford large houses were closer to the merchant district while all the other cheaper homes were closer to the garrisons that lined the wall. Sol's destination was the lower residential district.

Now when they had planned the city out they had done so with a military eye. The research center was standing high on a hill overlooking everything. Each of the districts was a ring around the castle and on a lower level. All houses had to be made with a flat solid roof that could hold the weight of a few fully armor soldiers. Invading army comes in and even if they manage to take a few houses at the start they would end up facing an uphill battle constantly giving the Clestian archers the higher ground. The invention of guns had lowered the usefulness of this tactic as they fired up just as easily as they fired down. Also there was the fact that Clestia hadn't been invaded since it's birth. Now all the rooftops served as a personal road for the scientists, multiple roofs connected by crude bridges that could quickly be destroyed should invaders break the walls. It was perfect for if your current project required you to go out into the field. You could get to the edge of the city without trying to get past the jam packed merchant district. Taking a ladder up to a nearby roof Sol walked on the upper streets of Clestia down to his sister's home. It wasn't a direct route but it'd drop him off in the right area at least. You could tell when you reach the lower residential area by the state of the homes. They were generally large square buildings with little to no color on the outside to differentiate them from all other homes. Only one thing separated one home from the other and that was the numbers painted on the doors that were required to by the city. The numbers were required to see how many people were actually living in the town and how many were just passing through.

Coming to a house that had a set of boxes right next to the house Sol debated either jumping right to the ground or using the wooden boxes as a makeshift ladder. Not wanting to take the chance that the crates would break under his weight and cause him to damage the contents Sol took a breath and leapt down off the roof. Sol landed with a roll like he'd seen so many people do and got to his feet. He checked the holsters to make sure that he hadn't lost one of the pistols during the roll. Finding both handles right where they were supposed to be he headed down the dirt road to find Mika and Rin's house. When he found house number three hundred seventy he knocked on the door. It, like every other house around it, was made of a dark brown wood. There was a window on either side of the door letting light into the home. Unlike a lot of the homes on the street there were flower boxes hanging out of the windows. Only they weren't like normal flower boxes filled with pretty plants to help bring color and personality to a home. The flowers that Rin had planted in them all had medicinal purposes and looked like a hodgepodge of random plants. Rin was the one to answer the door, to which Sol was thankful. Too many times these past few months his sister had opened the door wearing very little, Mika's sense of boundaries was very obscure.

"Good morning Sol," Rin greeted with a smile on her face. "I had a feeling that you'd be coming over this morning." She looked him up and down, her eyes stopping at the pistols holstered on his legs. "Do you really have to bring those with you?"

"I'm going out for a field test after breakfast and was wondering if Mika would come out with me." While Sol may have gotten the brains of the family Mika had definitely gotten the brawns. That's not to say that she was dumb, she was as every bit as smart as Sol when she could focus. Mika just put effort into keeping her body in shape and knew how to bat around a few monsters with her staff, Sol was practically hopeless when it came to fighting.

"They aren't going to explode or anything are they?" Rin questioned knowing that it was a high possibility that the magicite could cause an explosion if they were drained improperly.

"One one thousandth percent of a chance they'll spontaneously explode," Sol stated sure of his numbers. Rin just gave him a flat look. "It's magicite Rin, there's always a chance something will go wrong. The chances of it are so low it's practically not there."

"Fine," Rin sighed, "but take them out for any reason and you'll have to worry about what I put in your food." She headed into her house leaving the door open for Sol to follow.

"So you're cooking today," Sol observed as he closed the door behind him.

-o-O-o-

Sol stood on the outside the stone wall of Clestia waiting for his sister and Rin. While she didn't practice constantly Rin was an excellent shot with a bow. She didn't have any appointments for the day and had decided to accompany Sol and Mika out into the green fields around Clestia. While soldiers patrolled the surrounding area to keep monsters at bay Sol needed to go out further so he could find a monster or two to test his pistols on. It wasn't going to do very well if the magicite didn't actually fire off an elemental charge strong enough to take advantage of a monster's weakness. While he was waiting for his sister and her girlfriend Sol cleared the excursion with the guards letting them know that they were heading out to test a new weapon. The guards didn't appear to be interested in what Sol was doing, they had seen too many crazy inventions to really care about magic guns. Even still they had to listen to Sol's explanation and jot down why he was out and what he was testing, just in case he didn't make it back someone could go out and find his body and what invention he'd carried out with him.

Rin and Mika came out of the gate only a few minutes after Sol had finished giving his report to the soldiers. Both girls were dressed for going fighting while Sol was still in his lab coat. Mika had on a pair of black pants and boots with a loose fitting dark red shirt. As always Mika kept her wardrobe simple. A long metallic rod was strapped to Mika's back, her staff was a heavy weapon made to break bones. Rin had kept her hair pulled back into a ponytail to keep it out of her face. She wore a dark green blouse and an ankle length brown skirt with a slit down middle so her legs wouldn't be hindered should she need to run. As alway Rin had on a pair of black heels, a blow to Sol's pride as Rin could outrun him even when she was wearing heels. She held a yew bow in her right hand lacking any other way to transport the relic. Hanging down off the left side of her waist was the quiver filled with to the brim with arrows. There were three different colored feathers to the arrows. Green meant the arrow tip would be horizontal when knocked, red for vertical tips, and black for tips that carried a bit of poison inside the fragile iron. The black feathered ones had been hard to produce as Rin had to find a blacksmith that could make an arrow that could survive being in a quiver yet shatter upon impact when fired. From there the poison would seep down and into the wound the arrow had attempted to create when it impacted.

"Ready Brother?" Mika asked with a grin on her face. She was ready to show off her skills for Rin, to hell with the fact that this was a test for Sol's new magicite pistols.

"Ready as ever Mika," Sol answered already debating on whether he should have just hired some mercenaries to protect him instead.

They all three followed one the dirt road out into the open fields around Clestia. They had to go out three miles before they would get past the inner patrol ring and to the point where monsters could be found with some certainty. The sun was hidden behind a blanket of white clouds offering constant shade to the three. Traveling through an open field was a boring experience. Only a random rock broke up the monotony of the tall grass that covered the ground around the road. After an hour's time of walking and conversing about their research projects, Mika was working on how return power to magicite crystals once they had been drained, they finally caught sight of a group of monsters. It was a flock of Vampire Kiwis. They were tiny creatures with yellow orb-like bodies and a long needle mouth. Black leather wings sprouted from the tops of their head and they had blue scaled feet ending with sharp ivory claws. Sol mentally ran through a bestiary that he had read a week ago in preparation for testing his weapons. Vampire Kiwi was a darkness type monster and was weak to the element of light. Taking out a yellow-white crystal from his coat pocket Sol switched it with the Dark Magicite loaded in one of the guns.

By the time Sol had managed to make the change the Kiwis had spotted the trio of humans and started to fly at them. Mika reached over her shoulder and grabbed her staff ready to swing it around when one of the monster got within range. Her thunder was stolen by Rin who shot the Kiwi right between the eyes with a red feathered arrow. Mika looked at the smaller woman in annoyance for having her kill poached. Rin knocked another arrow, this time green to keep her quiver balanced, and shot at another approaching Kiwi. This time the arrow only managed to clip one of the wings as the monster was able to flutter out of the way in time. Mika smiled and swung her staff hitting the injured creature square on the head. Bones could be heard breaking underneath the strain of the blow the blonde had dealt. As yet another Kiwi came flying at the three, completely unhindered by the fact two of its fellow swarm members had just died, Sol had managed to take aim and get a shot off before Rin or Mika got to it. A ray of white hot light left the barrel of the gun at a blinding fast speed. It grazed the Kiwi's side leaving a black burn mark from where the gunshot had hit it. Luckily for Sol the light ray continued on and hit another Vampire Kiwi behind the first disintegrating it upon direct contact. The first one Sol had hit was picked off by another of Rin's arrows.

"Damn, should have practiced on my accuracy first." Sol took aim at another Vampire Kiwi and fired off another ray of light. This time he managed to hit his target and watched as it too turned to ash.

"What the? You mean to say you haven't practiced with them before coming out and risking your life against real monster?!" Mika shouted at her younger brother waking a Kiwi that had gotten past Sol and Rin's fire.

"Well I forgot that each element would fire differently, I'm an ace with Water Magicite." Sol continued to shoot at the incoming monsters.

"That's just peachy now ain't it? Good thing you're shooting LIGHT then!" Mika couldn't believe her brother, sometimes for all his genius he could be downright stupid.

"Well Light Magic is their weakness, whole point of this experiment," Sol retorted, "but I should try another element to see if they die just as quickly." Sol took the other pistol out of its holster and aimed it at the nearest Vampire Kiwi. When he pulled the trigger the sounds of electricity could be heard before the lightning left the barrel of the gun. Purple energy arced out of the gun and into the monster Sol had been aiming at. Once the initial jolt had passed the Kiwi looked a little crispy but it wasn't hindered very much by the attack. "So the element does matter." Sol placed the thunder gun back into the holster and kept shooting with the light gun.

With all three of them fighting off the swarm of Vampire Kiwis, and two of them being ranged attackers, they finished off the group of twenty or so quickly. In the end there was about thirteen dead Kiwis on the ground more than a few of them had an arrow or two sticking out of their body. If it was a contest as to who killed the most, Rin was the clear winner. Mika poked at a few to make sure they weren't just playing dead as Rin retrieved her arrows making sure to check and see if they could be used again or not before placing them back in her quiver. Sol popped the Light Magicite out of the gun and checked it over for any cracks that could have been created while he was firing the pistol. If the magicite had gotten any cracks that meant the gun was drawing out too much power at once and could cause the explosion Rin had worried about. Finding no such defects in the crystal Sol smiled with pride. He very well could have possibly created a pair of pistols that ran solely on magic.

"I was wondering when if they'd be able to kill those monsters," a gruff voice sounded from behind the trio.

Sol turned to find a group of grey armored soldiers sitting atop on horses. The armor alone marked them as soldiers from the Gestaltian Kingdom but no one in Dalmasca rode horses, chocobos were the mount of choice for them. From how small the group was and what they knew of the army of Gestaltian they were facing a scouting squad lead by a lone captain. The captain trotted his armored mount forward towards Sol and pointed and small handgun at the scientist.

"Grab the blonde," he ordered to his men, "she fits the description well enough."

"And what do you want with my sister?" Sol asked his hand twitching as over the handles of his guns. The pistol that the captain was holding was a basic design that had a common problem of not firing each time the trigger was pulled. He would have to pull the hammer back with each misfire giving Sol time to get off his own shot. There was the high risk that the gun would fire on the first shot, unlikely but possible. The question was would it, and if it didn't could Sol draw and fire is own in enough time?

"Sol DUCK!" Rin shouted. Sol dropped down as fast as he could. He heard the clicking of the gun failing to fire as he fell and the clang of metal meeting metal. Rolling to the side to get out of range in case the captain wasn't injured and ready to fire again Sol got up and pulled both guns out of their holsters and into his hands ready to fire. He came up to find a green feathered arrow sticking out of the gap between the plates of the horse's armor. It was an excellent shot that Sol was amazed at. He knew Rin was good with a bow, he just didn't know she was that good. Sol backed up to stand next to the girls keeping his pistols trained on the group of soldiers that all had swords and lances ready to fight them.

"What are a group of Gestaltian soldiers doing in Dalmasca?" Mika asked stepping out in front of Sol and Rin.

"Looking for a girl our King has ordered us to find and you fit the description perfectly," the captain said. "Course he didn't say that you had to come to him unharmed so we're free to rough you up a bit before taking you to him."

"He better not be implying anything," Mika shuddered as she looked at the man that was too buff for his own good.

"Mika we can't fight them all," Rin pointed out. They were outnumbered eight to one after all.

"I'm not letting them take me Rin. Besides who knows what they'll do to you and Sol once they've got me."

"So we fight?" Sol asked still keeping his guns trained on the group of trained soldiers.

"Think of it as a field test," Mika chuckled as she got ready to fight off the group.

Character Corner (For those that don't know, this time around all character belong to me)

Solaris "Sol" Adamas

Age: 20

A guy with knowledge on weaponry that'll put most people to shame, Sol has recently been working on how to use magicite to create new weapons. His latest invention the twin magicite pistols are the peak of his research. He's shy to those he doesn't know and open with only a few people. His sister Mika is his closest friend ever since they moved to Clestia after the death of their parents. Like most people nowadays Sol has Wingly blood letting him use small amounts of magic.

Mikaela "Mika" Adamas

Age: 22

The blonde bombshell and older sister to Sol, Mika has fully embraced her Wingly heritage and has dived into magic research. Like her brother she's too smart for her own good her only problem is the inability to focus. She has a childish side and she's a flirt. After the death of her parents Mika came out of the small comfortable shell she had as a child, becoming a real people person. She too is a scientist at the research center, taking on all things magical.

Rin Fuco

Age: 24

Rin is a very calm woman who knows what she wants out of life. While her girlfriend Mika is a bit eccentric Rin has learned to deal with it and loves Mika's outgoing personality, even if she doesn't care for the flirting. Knowledgeable in herblore and able to produce potions and toxins that most can only hope to recreate Rin does her best to help her the creatures of Endiness. While Rin isn't the violent type she has picked up the bow and is deadly accurate, where has this simple herbalist picked up such a skill?
