A MOONLIT GOODBYE

At the mention of putting on Glenn’s new armor, every last one of the Town Guards in the barracks sobered. This was obviously important to them. He didn’t dare ruin the moment.

“Follow me,” Logain said.

Glenn followed as Logain led him to a rack of armor dummies along the wall. One stood at the end, and a set of dark and deadly-looking [God Armor] waited upon it. The dark polished metal all but absorbed light, and the sunburst of Celes sat in the center of the armor. The whole suit was larger than Glenn, but Glenn knew Adventurer armor resized itself to fit the wearer. [God Armor] did the same.

“Slip off your boots,” Logain suggested. “We can put the armor on over your clothes, this time. Tomorrow, I’ll commission Ziva to make you a proper guard uniform. She’ll come by the barracks to get your measurements just after breakfast, so don’t be late.”

Glenn nodded as he slipped off first one boot, then another. The stone floor of the barracks felt rough beneath his feet, but not cold. It felt sturdy.

“The last owner of this armor was Captain Jacob Graybreaker,” Logain said reverently. “Jacob Dual Classed to Duelist three years ago, upon reaching level 20 as a Town Guard, and left me in command. This armor has remained on this dummy since, waiting for one the Gods judged worthy to don it again. The Gods chose you to wear the armor worn by our former captain.”

Glenn stared in fresh awe. The Pantheon Themselves had not only blessed him with Their power and three fresh levels. They’d also blessed him with Their armor and weapons.

Joanne, who seemed to be Logain’s second-in-command, walked past Glenn. Together, Joanne and Logain undid the straps and clasps on the side of the armor with expert fingers. They lifted it off the dummy, together, and then carried it to Glenn.

They lifted the armor as if it weighed nothing and lowered it over Glenn’s head. Once it was set upon his shoulders, a weight that was reassuring and tolerable, both began snapping clasps. As they did so, Glenn felt a tingle across his skin. The armor literally shrank upon his body.

By the time Joanne and Logain finished the straps and secured it, his new [God Armor] fit even better than his old [Ring-Mail Armor]. Despite its weight, it felt as comfortable as a warm shirt. The crafting materials used to create this armor truly were from a realm beyond Luxtera. If legend held true, this armor had been forged in Sun’s Rest, the legendary realm of Kya, Goddess of Duty.

More pieces came after the cuirass, which wrapped around his chest. Sabatons to protect his feet. Cuisses to protect his legs. Vambraces to protect his arms, gloves for his hands, and even an armored skirt—a fauld—to protect his waist below the chest piece.

Finally, Joanne lifted the helm, a large full-face helmet that looked both sturdy and powerful. She carried it with reverence and then raised it above Glenn’s head.
