Weapon Story
- I was in a dead sleep when mum started shouting. "Wakey-wakey!" she squawked. "Rise and shiiine! Today's a very important day! Today's your first visit to the castle!" ...Annoying, right? But I got up anyway.
- Today's my 16th birthday, and I have an audience with the king. Mum's apparently worried that he'll charge me with some big important task, so she gave me a cypress stick for... some reason. Pffft. Like that'll help.
- As we walk to the castle, Mum keeps blabbing about how excited she is and how long she's been waiting for this day. She's told me this story a million and one times, so I just keep quiet like always.
- When we arrive, I see my friend coming out of the castle. He's 16, too, but his fearless gaze makes him look like a legendary hero-to-be. I'm sure he's got a lot to live up to! MY dad's just a carpenter, so I've got it easy, heh.
Trivia
- The Cypress Stick and its effects on the game are references to the Dragon Quest series.
