Ragnar nodded to Quills request as they both went towards the area, Ragnar pushed past the people looking around before they reached the front of the location. The place had been smashed up real good. The front door was broken and as Ragnar walked in he noticed that everything was broken. Armor was shattered all over the place, glass holding items were shattered and swords and other stuff were spread all over the place. Apparently someone came in to ransack the place. The weirdest part was that Godfrey wasn't around. That man should always be here.
Ragnar looked at Quill and then pointed his head towards the back as he slowly moved in that direction. Reaching the doorway leading into the back, Ragnar kicked the door in, sending it flying into the room and then rushed in. This place had also ransacked and destroyed. Ragnar began to look around, flipping stuff back over to see if something had happened and was trying to figure out something.Something happened here, maybe Godfrey was murdered and this was the struggle but where was his body then? Nothing made any sense.

She went towards the backroom as many store owners usually hide there. She followed Ragnar as he ended up going where she was going, so they looked together. Her eyes watched as he decided to kick the door in, sending it outward as if it was nothing. He was quite messy when looking around. After a few moments of looking around, they realized that he wasn't here either and wondered where the hell he could be. "Mmm, doesn't seem like he's here," she sighed and realized that the sword as also gone. Out of nowhere she heard the door of the back entrance open, hearing someone staggering. "Godfrey...?" she wondered and went towards him.

He then began to explain what had happened. While he was thinking of new ways to improve the Blackblade, someone came up behind him and rendered him unconscious. When he came to, he found that the blade was nowhere to be seen, and that whoever attacked him must've stolen it, so he began searching for information outside as to its location.
So someone came in here, knocked him out, stole the sword and then fucked off. Well, that is good for a super evil artifact sword to be out and about. Well good news is that apparently the person didn't take Ragnar's hammer, which he had left in the shop for polishing and general maintenance. Ragnar had found it under a bookshelf. After grabbing it, dusting it off and then putting it over his shoulder he looked towards Quill.
" Well what is the..." as Ragnar spoke they heard a women scream pierce the air towards the main city. Ragnar turned towards it and then back to Quill and said " That is the plan I guess. " and Ragnar started to run towards it.

Her eyes saw the catacombs and knew they had to enter it. More bodies? She saw more but these were rune knights, not that she cared. She gulped as they followed the path and saw a little girl, a girl around Suzaku's age. Her eyes studied the girl and saw the coffin and wondered what she was planning, truthfully really curious.

As they kept moving down the catacombs they eventually located something very very strange. A little girl, maybe around Suzaku's age, holding a the blade that was stolen from the shop. Well it looks like we found out who stole the thing, as they approached the little girl spoke in a hollow voice. One that clearly wasn't her own. She began to tell a story about a blacksmith, ancient and powerful, eventually killed by his own creation.
Ragnar looked over at Quill for a moment to see if she realized the same thing he did. The scroll was made by this blacksmith, and clearly the people they killed to make this weapon again was to have a spirit inhabit it, or to give it enough energy or something. Ragnar doesn't understand magic. Either way this girl was clearly possessed.
At this point Godfrey did something very stupid, yelling about how he didn't care about what happened centries ago and ran at the girl. The girl with the movement of someone fighting for dozens of years, easily dodged the man and cut him down in a single swing of her sword. She then turned towards Quill and Ragnar.
Ragnar started to move, as this was going to be a fight now, and he called out to her " Are we trying to break the sword and possibly save the girl or are we just killing her? Your call. " Ragnar was down for either choice but Quill was the one with a daughter this girls age so maybe she would have different feeling about the matter as a whole.

The girl looked over to them as she was going to attack them next. Her eyes looked at the blood, at the girl covered in it and then at Ragnar... Her eyes lowered to look at her bag as she took out her mask and lowered her gaze. "I'm... sorry..." she whispered as her nose was burning from the hold of tears she was keeping. The mask looked demonic and as soon as she put on the white and black mask it then turned blue as her eyes glowed red. As the silence rose, she finally laughed as she bought up her sword. The girl came forward towards them as Quilla went forward with her as they clashed blades. "So worthy yet so young, if only," she mumbled in a demonic voice. This voice tone was not her usual, as it sounded womanlier, dark and as if she didn't care who they were. Her mind forgot about Ragnar being there as all her inner self cared about was killing this child. As it was her blood that she thirsted for.
As soon as she clashed blades, she stomped her foot creating an earthquake underneath her, doing S rank do her own sword and the girls. The original Quilla hoped that Ragnar will help her as she didn't like being this version of herself and she can't be stopped either till it was over.

He attempted to move towards the fight, but from the side, using the earthquake spell that Quill had just used in order to cover him. He was meet by a swing of a sword, attempting to take Ragnar's head completely off. Luckily Ragnar wasn't lunging or that would have taken it completely off, instead he lunged backwards and he managed to escape with a minor cut on the front of his neck as a parting gift.
Ragnar had to keep his distance from this women, he knew that if he got close to this women she might just cut him in half. She was as strong as Ragnar currently and that alone was scary but she also seemed to use that blade like another limb. She was a master of that blade. So apparently the blade gave her the ability to use it on a masters level and also increased the users speed, strength and most likely endurance to take a shot as she had survived the earthquake.
Ragnar wasn't sure how durable this weapon was at this point, and he needed to find out but he kinda doubted the women would just let him hit it. She might just cut Ragnar down before he could do anything about it. Either way, Ragnar had to try something.
Ragnar rushed towards the women and threw himself at the women. The little girl attempted to pierce Ragnar's heart with a stab, and Ragnar moved himself slightly, but his opponent also moved in counter but not enough. Ragnar got hit in the chest, going through his right lunge and he went down to the hilt of the sword. With his left hand Ragnar grabbed the sword hilt and held it there. Ragnar wasn't sure how strong she was, but he was about to find out with this gamble. He wasn't as the blade went towards his left with a swift cut, leaving a massive hole in his side and the blood sprayed and poured out of Ragnar's wound but it bought him enough time.
With his right hand, he swung his hammer up towards the girls chest, making contact. Once contact was made, the girl still human let out a breath as all the air escaped her lungs and she went flying into the ceiling. She would have gone thirty feet into the air if the ceiling hadn't stopped her. She now had the same problem that Ragnar had, a severely damaged torso.
Ragnar coughed and blood came out of his mouth as he fell to one of his knees. He felt his breathing get harder and harder as blood filled his lungs. As Ragnar tried to rise to his feet, only to slip slightly on his own blood before using his left hand to push himself back up. Ragnar looked back at Quill, and he had just hoped she would finish this fight because Ragnar most likely could not, not against a master swordswomen anyway, not without taking another hit that like that he knew the same trick wasn't going to work twice.

They had to act fast as they were rewarded. Ragnar and Quilla just both left and told Ragnar he can go after the brother if he wanted to, but the relationship was gone with those two.

At this point Godfrey woke up, he looked around and seemed to realize what had become of himself in the quest to become the sword maker. He then said outloud how he regrets the ten people that were killed in order to make the sword and the others that were killed by the sword itself. He thanked them for their work and handed them their money. As he turned around Godfrey saw his brother, dumbstruck by what he had just heard and then turned to leave. Godfrey chased after him to try and explain, but it was clear none of that mattered. Their relationship was over.
Ragnar turned to Quill and said " We will talk about the mask later, but first.. to a healer" Ragnar then left Quill as he went towards a healer to fix up his wound.
