Sword of Spirits/Script
Before undertaking her journey to Caelin, Lyn decides to stop by the nearby shrine where Mani Katti is enshrined to pray for a safe journey. Before Lyn has the chance to enter, a local band of ruffians suddenly seize the shrine. The leader, Glass, takes the Mani Katti from the priest, but is unable to unsheathe the legendary sword. The priest informs him that the spirits looking over the blade have deemed him unworthy, prompting Glass to lock the priest away and announce that he will tear the shrine apart stone by stone; However, a villager informs Lyn of the ruffians’ plans, prompting Lyn to come to the priest’s rescue.
After Lyn and co. defeat Glass and seize the throne, causing any remaining ruffians to flee, the priest thanks Lyn by allowing her to touch Mani Katti. When Lyn touches the blade, it brightly glows. The priest tells Lyn that she has been deemed as the rightful owner of the Mani Katti by the spirits and tells her to draw the blade from its sheath. Lyn does so effortlessly. The priest sends Lyn off on her journey, allowing her to take the Mani Katti along with her. Lyn admits to Kent and Sain that she is a little uncomfortable being named the sole rightful wielder of the Mani Katti but nevertheless accepts her destiny. Having received the blessing of the spirits in the form of the Mani Katti, Lyn and co. depart for Caelin.
Meanwhile, in Caelin, a soldier of Castle Caelin informs Lundgren that Lyn is still alive. He declines to send more soldiers after her, believing that the bandits of northern Bern will do the deed for him. Lundgren then orders the soldier who delivered the news to keep feeding the poison to the current marquess, Hausen.
