Hyuuga, the Ghost Town

Uths' Perspective:

We had already left Ecrom and were heading towards a village called Hyuuga, better known as the ghost town. We were on horseback, but even so, we were still far from reaching it.

The mission Leonard gave us was extremely out of the ordinary compared to what he usually assigns. An exploration mission in a village where no one lives anymore. He asked us to explore the area and try to find a sword amidst the debris and lifeless surroundings.

I asked him why he was assigning us a reconnaissance mission. Never in my life as a warrior had I received such a mission, and I was extremely surprised when I found out.

He told me that it was a mission that came directly from the Royal Guards for the most skilled warriors from each royal house.

I didn’t want to argue, but... a mission directly from the Royal Guards? These swords must not be ordinary, or the territory we’re about to explore must hold something more.
