The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

"Absorbing your enemies belief and using it as firepower? Well, I'll be honest, that's pretty unusual, dear. But I think we may have a weapon in stock that is tailor-suited to that sort of fighting style. Sis, will you--?"


"Yeah, I'm on it."


"Ah, here we are! The Naiad. We actually bought this off of some of the Ogre blacksmiths from Topia, remember that, sis?"
"Yeah, that was pretty neat. Took a while to get here, though."
"So, if you would follow us out back, I can show you how this weapon is operated?"


To be honest, you're not entirely sure you should be allowed to handle a weapon. You're still a kid, even if they don't know that. Then again, they might be too. You wonder about how fast the people of Realm age sometimes.


"Arright, so point it over at that rock? Okay, now you kinda fling a bit of belief off the tips of the trident, there."


"Yeah, you got it! Now, this is a cool thing this gun can do, check it out. This bit in the middle is like a harpoon. You load it with belief, and it flies off, and sticks in whatever it hits, then you can use it to direct the enemies belief over to you."


Well, that IS pretty neat. This seems like a very well-crafted weapon! You head back inside.


You pay a decent portion of belief to the two sisters. They thank you, and you and Mermaid head back outside.


"Alright, so we've got that, and we've got a plan... sort of. I've left my harpoon back at my house though, so uh, I'm gonna go get that. You wanna come with me, or you wanna just hang around town a bit?"
