Murim Recurve Chapter 297

"Thank you, dad." Re'Kha smiled, wielding the weapons to see that they were of superior quality. They seemed to have been custom ordered to retain the level of quality.
"Take this!" Finally, Re'Rak pulled out a bracelet from the trunk and slipped it on her left hand, "A must need for a Harmoniser since your previous one was destroyed."
Upon seeing the bracelet, Re'Kha smiled in nostalgia. It wasn't anything special, made from a material possessing great affinity to Water Qi and Harmonisers from their Clan, a Balou's horn. And, embedded on it was a tiny Water Qi Essence fragment, a fragment big enough to continuously emit Water Qi for a couple of days before it was completely expended.
She had been carrying a similar one before when she went to hunt the Blinded Ghost. It was what allowed her to replenish her expended Water Qi reserves. And at times, she used it to set up a domain around her that would continue to damage the Blinded Ghost.
Adding onto the Magic Artifact, Humming Waves she wielded, she managed to injure the Blinded Ghost on numerous occasions. Even though she had some Water Qi Essences in her storage ring, she couldn't use them carelessly.
And in such cases, this bracelet would prove useful for her. Moreover, while keeping it activated, she could wield her Quasi-Magic Artifact, Water Wave almost like a Magic Artifact. So, it had incredible benefits.
"Call Re'Gra and Re'Dha, I haven't given them anything to protect themselves." Re'Rak sighed as he rummaged through the trunk, "They haven't left the Clan much, so they are inexperienced. Take care of them out there."
"No worries, dad." Re'Kha smiled as she left the room, calling her two brothers and informed them to head to their father's room. She returned to her house and instructed the servant Rim to prepare all her needs and necessities for the journey.

As the weight of her luggage couldn't be too much, she had to balance it accordingly. After all, the latter half of her journey had to be done on foot and was uphill. So, the weight of the bag had to be as minimum as possible.
'The water and food might prove to be a bit of a problem. As for hygiene, the Water Qi emitted by my armour will keep my body clean to a certain extent. So, that should be enough for the most part.' She thought, preparing some extra goods that she placed in her storage ring. She only planned to take them out when absolutely necessary, considering the entire mission as another training of sorts.
Only then would she be able to manage her resources and complete the journey without her and her brothers falling sick. She then emptied her bowels and took a relaxing bath, donning on her armour, Rigid Water. It too was a Quasi-Magic Artifact. After eating a simple breakfast, she exited her house, noticing her siblings too exit their houses one after another.
Led by Re'Rak and Re'Bah, they left the house as a family and boarded two carriages. Once they reached the southern city gate, they boarded the horses already arranged by the clan and sped off in their respective directions.
Re'Tul looked at their figures as she snorted and went in her respective direction, riding her horse alone. The others from the Clan too made their way. Soon after, the Burkurel Re Clan looked almost deserted.
There were still the servants though that went about their respective tasks. So, it wasn't completely deserted yet. The head Elder stood on the city walls facing the south, watching the figures of his Clansmen leave the Clan, sighing, "I hope all of them return in one piece. With the land becoming the home of Kalki more and more, the number of supernatural incidents would continue to increase."

"I'm afraid of the number of supernatural phenomena that might occur once this land becomes filled with Kalki Qi," He shuddered for a moment, "After all, we are the sole race that can wield four elements and can use Lightning Qi, the bane of all supernatural entities. The world would definitely try to constrict us, not just using the Sha alone."
…
Re'Kha rode her horse and proceeded south, having memorised the route already. She already had the location that she would visit first, "Gro Mining Village. They have been facing trouble due to a mysterious beast that had recently taken up residence there."
The direction she had to proceed towards was southeast, and head into a cluster of mountains where numerous mining villages were located. It wasn't far, but the terrain was steep. So, she would only reach there during the evening.
Almost all the villages did a certain work that allowed them to transact goods with a Settlement or a City and obtain supplies in return. As the cities needed all sorts of minerals, a large number of mining villages were set up in places rich with mineral resources.
And usually, in such places, there would be a lack of food and drinkable water. So, the city would provide them the necessary resources. Usually, an Erki would be dispatched once a month or two depending on the mining village's efficiency.
A Harmoniser would accompany the Erki and would deal with everything in the place, reimbursing them with resources based on the amount they have mined. Moreover, the village chief would be given a couple of messenger birds that allowed him to communicate with the city or settlement he had ties with.
Their country only had the setup of Cities and Settlements that were officially recognised. After all, anyone that was capable of paying the taxes could live there. As for those unwilling to do so, they wouldn't be protected by the country.
It was such people that lived in villages. But at the end of the day, they were part of the same race. So, the capital had given them a way out to survive. So, even though the villages wouldn't have any active force stationed in the region to protect them, whenever they faced a threat, the nearby cities would send them support. To aid in that, the village heads of the recognised villages were given a messenger bird to help communicate and send distress signals when necessary.
And among all the villages, only a select few were recognised. As for the rest, they weren't recognised and wouldn't be provided any aid. But now, the Harmonisers had been dispatched to the unrecognised villages too for some reason, unwilling to see the problems in the places from developing any further.
Among them, Re'Kha was assigned to some of the unrecognised villages. Only her first location was recognised.

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
