3. Recap of Episode 7

Red, Rit, and Ruti were still on vacation since the hero, Van, still hadn’t found the airship. One day, when strolling through the nearby forest, they found some kids training for their blessings. Rit supervised their training for a while, and Red helped, too. Suddenly, a villager came running to notify them about the sighting of an ogre king nearby. 

Red proposed that he should tend to that matter, and Ruti showcased her strength for further reassurance. They scouted the area and found out that the ogres had been scouting it, which isn’t usual. They returned to the village and let the villagers know about it. He also told them to go somewhere safe, leaving Ruti behind to protect them.

Back at Zoltan, Tissue meets Yarandrala at the apothecary and later talks about how she felt an ominous presence. While walking through the town, Van was approached by some kids from the church. They asked him to come with them, and Surprisingly, Van agreed. He went to the church with them and met the father and the mayor.

After touring the church, Van sat down to talk with the children. We learned about how Van thought following the will of one’s blessing was the only right thing to do when he talked with the children there. His sudden change of behavior surprised even Escarlata, but she still didn’t like Van’s idea of following the will of the blessing.

On Red’s side, they found the Ogres, but something was shockingly different with these monsters. Normally, they aren’t supposed to have blessings, but somehow, each Ogres had multiple blessings. Not only that, but they were also using things from an ancient elven ruin and had elven carvings on their body.

After Van left the church, Luobu returned and met up with them, along with Tisse, who was their guide to reach the hill giant. At the inn, Red went to prepare food, and Rit and Ruti took a bath. Ruti told Rit how much she appreciated being with Red and Rit. That night, Red received another letter and learned about Tisse’s meeting with the hero.
