“This is a runeforged blade; where did you get it?” said Petal as she gestured to Ichika’s giant green and gold shuriken. “A what?” Ichika asked clearly. She was so exhausted, and the older woman had just come and spoken at her too fast for her to take it in. “This weapon, where did you…

She realized that what she had thought was a lizard was actually a being made entirely of rough-hewn…
