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.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
