Alex led Jack through the streets of Normkin to small shop that had been originally made of stone, but was now a patchwork of stone and sandstone. On the door to the shop there was a small sign hanging from the handle, it read, 'Alex's Provisions'. "Cool, someone with your name's got a shop," Jack smiled. "It's my shop," Alex replied bluntly, but Jack didn't seem to hear her. 'Oh, well, I'll just find thee bandages and we'll keep going.'

Inside the shop it was a lot cooler than outside, which both of the pair were thankful for. Arranged around the shop there were multiple banks of weapons, food and even some pieces of clothing. Alex left and went into a back room, but Jack stayed and went over to look at the weapons. Most were average sandstone daggers or short swords, but he noticed one of the daggers had a slightly lighter hue. Jack grabbed it and it felt cold in his palm.

Alex had just entered the room when a loud cry followed by a short shriek cut through the stillness of the shop. Jack motioned for Alex to remain where she was. Still holding the dagger, Jack rushed outside and was greeted by a Thornhus who was holding a steel longsword on the other side of the street. The Thornhus turned to face Jack and bull rushed him, but Jack reacted and sidestepped, letting the man charge into a wall. Jack turned to face him, but the man had already recovered. He swung his sword round so fast that all Jack had time to do was lift his dagger and hope for the best. Jack felt something hit his face, yet there was no blow from a sword. When he opened his eyes he saw someone chasing after the Thornhus who was fleeing. On the ground in front of him were two halves of the sword the man had been carrying. He looked at the dagger. The edge that had been hit by the sword had been scratched, leaving a small glint of purple. Around him, people were staring at Jack, amazed. Alex had seen the whole fight and knew what had happened. "Is that a..?" she asked, unsure and almost confused. "Mithril," Jack confirmed.
