Hey there! You can just call me Alphen. I've already encountered many warriors and seasoned soldiers. We have strong fighters here.

I'm interested in seeing weaponry or combat gear. There are some really neat swords with intriguing designs. Still, I know that a weapon can be lethal all the same. So I've been meaning to ask a question as well.

For what reason would you fight?

I fight to protect my friends. I want to use my strength for the right reasons.

Granted, all I know how to do is wield a sword. I'd be more than glad to put those skills to use. I'm willing to spar and exchange combat moves with someone. Maybe we can learn with one another. I can't exactly let my blade rust when seriously powerful beasts could attack at any moment.

I'm glad to hear that she's okay. My friends are the only family I have. They've here in this world too so I'm not alone.

Hey, you're right. Things could get dangerous as we just don't know it yet.

I've already encountered some powerful enemies just hanging out in the open. It's a little worrying.

Which enemies have you encountered?

Wei Wuxian and I have explored the Wildlands, but for the most part, we did not have much luck with running into noteworthy enemies.

A monstrosity called the Mutton Man. The damned thing was so strong all I managed to do was disarm him with a friend.

You went into the Wildlands too. How was it? Did you find anything interesting?

[legbreakings]

We were either lucky or unlucky, in that we mostly ran into regular woodland animals. But then, our focus often was on hunting game. We did get interested in these deeper parts of the forest, where the strange mists reside and shadows seem to be darting around, and the place where the trees are uncannily alive. We chose not to disturb them just yet.

You've experienced so much already. This place is unpredictable and there could be danger anywhere. The trees have a mind of their own and I've seen it first hand. You're right about that.

Maybe it's lucky no one got hurt.

I'm curious about these trees. We have trees who come alive, too, either living or dead trees, but they would usually be malicious creatures who were brought alive by resentful energy.
