Marcelina corrected her and clarified, "No it was one of the normal options. He chose the Arcanist class. From what I've gathered Ben as a hobby would play a lot of video games and he was used to making strong characters. So he applied some of his knowledge from those games with himself. Picking abilities and whatnot that best suited him and mixed well with each other."

"These video games that you talk about were relatively new back on my world. Mostly the children play them. I remember my young nieces and nephews on their big computers playing little games that were mainly just the walls of words. It sounds like the video games on your world were a lot farther ahead," Roksazza remarked talking more about her homeworld and reminiscing. 

"Yeah. On our world humans don't really have powers so we've always relied on either our own physical skills or technology. We've gotten to a point back on Earth where we've started trying to find ways to integrate technology into our bodies to improve us. But we're not there just yet," Marcelina informs her while talking about her people more happy to share information and enjoying the friendly conversation. 

They stop when they see Benedictus defeat the training golem while standing on top of it out of breath. The training area he had set up was a mess and he was clearly exhausted after exerting himself quite a bit. Marcelina stood up and tossed Ben a bottle of water.

Instinctively catching it he thanked her, "Much appreciated." He immediately started guzzling it down. 

In a matter of seconds the entire bottle was empty as he drank it all. He then used his Moderate Geo Manipulation to completely repair the training area in an instant. Looking over to Marcelina he set it back to the lowest setting so she could start her morning sparring. 

"All yours. You and Charles kick some ass," he says giving her a high five as she then cracks her knuckles and takes up a fighting stance.

Charles comes over and got excited for a battle. Marcelina immediately boosted him and then herself with two of her abilities. She then set the training dummy to the second setting. As it was activating she used one of her new abilities on herself and she started to radiate with blue aura. For a brief second the spectral image of a lion appeared behind her. 

This was one of her new abilities called Unleash the Beast. It essentially allowed her to tap into the power of her inner spirit animal which for her was a lion. This greatly enhanced some of her physical capabilities based off of the type of animal. Since for her it was a lion both her Might and Agility were boosted along with her Survival. The most important thing is that while this ability was active the output of her physical damage was temporarily doubled all around and her natural speed was boosted by 50% of what it normally was. 

With her new ability and both of the other buffs active, she was much quicker and much stronger than she was back in the cave. On top of that her improved stats only made things better after she had allocated all of those stat points she had gained over the last week. With the dagger she had gotten from Benedictus and her left hand and the rapier in her right she blitzed forward towards the golem at high speed.

Benedictus sat down next to Roksazza and spoke, "I'm going to tell you a little secret. I've noticed since I've been surviving alongside Marcy that she has some issues with how she perceives herself from time to time. She often thinks that she is not as good as me and I can tell. She tries to hide it whenever she gets like that but I can always see through her attempts at pretending like she doesn't think it."

Stopping for a moment he watched her and he began to smile. Seeing how well Marcelina was greatly improving he complimented her as he continued speaking to Roksazza, "The truth is though, that woman has talent. Believe it or not I've noticed that she has an incredible ability to learn and develop. If given enough time I think she can find a way to match me in strength. When she finally does I just hope she'll finally stop trying to compare herself to me, and realize just how great she is."

"You speak very highly of her. Is she your life partner," Roksazza wondered. 

"No. But she did save my life and honestly if she wasn't here I probably be starting to go crazy only having Emma to talk to. I guess it's still a little early to say but I would believe she is my friend. Or at least I hope so at this point," he clarified for her while chuckling at the idea. 

The two of them sat in silence and watched enjoying the sight. Eventually the rest of the day went by and the group started to familiarize themselves a lot more with each other. Getting to learn a lot about each other's cultures and homeworlds. It was a good day.

The next morning after breakfast and training, Roksazza had came to ask a very serious request of the group. Addressing them both she informed them, "So when I had initially ended up floating in the river it was after completing a hidden dungeon behind the waterfall upstream. I fainted in the water and was carried off from what I believe. I wasn't able to collect everything from the dungeon after completing it because I almost died. But I realize I left my sword. Would it be okay if we ventured back to the waterfall dungeon so I can retrieve my weapon and the rest of what I left behind?"

"Certainly. I personally don't see anything wrong with that," Benedictus agreed to her request. 

"I was itching to travel out and see about testing my skills against real opponents. This is a fun excuse to do just that," Marcelina responded eager to put her new capabilities to the test in a more practical way.

"Thank you," she replied giving a slight bow of her head. 

Benedictus instructed both of them, "Grab everything you need and we'll head out in an hour. If we take the hover car it'll probably be faster if find."

The two ladies gave a nod and with that they all began to prepare to venture to the completed waterfall dungeon. When it was finally time to leave, they all loaded up into the hover car with Marcelina in the back with Charles and Emma. Roksazza was way too big to try and fit in the backseat. He was about 7 and 1/2 ft tall it was as bulky as some professional football players. None of it subtracted from her natural feminine beauty it just made it harder for her to sit in the smaller space of the backseats.

The only idea of where they were going was based off of the fact that when she had gotten dragged to their base by the current, she came from upstream. Because of that all they could do was simply fly the hover car upstream until they caught sight of a waterfall. They flew for what must have been almost an hour before they finally caught a glimpse of it.

He found a nearby clearing that was big enough for him to land the hover car. After setting it down and all of them had gotten out, he shrunk it before placing it back into his inventory. The group then began walking towards the waterfall which only took about 10 minutes since they had landed close by. 

Upon arriving at the waterfall Roksazza inform them, "Inside there might be some enemies in case some of the creatures that populated the dungeon may have returned while I was away. Keep an eye out just in case for giant blue reptiles." 

Ben and Marcelina gave her a nod and began making their way inside together as a group. Passing through the waterfall they began entering into the dungeon where they were notified that they had entered into the Secret Waterfall Dungeon. Right next to the dungeon there was a comment in the system that explained that it had already been completed. They knew this was the case because Roksazza was the one to complete it after all.

The first thing that they immediately noticed was the carnage. Body parts of blue scaled reptiles lay everywhere. It look like they had already started to decay but part of them had been eaten. Seeing that some of the corpses look like they had been used as a snack made it obvious to the group that something has come here since then and has been eating parts of the corpses.

Using her Wild Sight, Marcelina was able to notice that there were relatively fresh cracks in the area, "Fresh tracks. Something has been here within the last day."

With that information the group proceeds through the dungeon slightly more hesitant. As they began to slowly make their way through the area they start taking in more of what the creatures here were. At first they thought it was what only appeared to be some kind of giant gecko with extra legs and eyes but that changed when they got to one of the larger areas. They began to see what appear to be giant snakes covered in porcupine quills. All of them had been killed by Roksazza when she had first came here but now it looks like they had become food for something else.

As they ventured out of that room and down one of the natural large corridor paths of this cave dungeon Marcelina noticed something about the wall as they were passing it by. She stopped everyone and realized that there was a hidden door right in the wall. Triple checked it to make sure and after a careful examination she was right. 

"There's a hidden door right here," she informed the group. 

"Alright we'll do this like back in the vinuu nest. Prepare yourselves in case of combat I'm about to open it up," Benedictus responded getting ready to use Minor Geo Manipulation to open the passage.

The group prepared to fight and waited for him to remove the hidden wall. To their surprise the hidden room that they found was just a small room with a chest in it. Considering this was their first time encountering a hidden treasure room they were a little bit skeptical. 

Ben walked up and punched the chest just to see if it was a mimic. There was no reaction so he assumed it was a normal chest again. He looked back at the group and opened the chest.

Sure enough when it opened the familiar light began to shine from inside. They watched as the light slowly took shape and form in front of their eyes. The light ultimately took the shape of a bracelet.

The bracelet itself seem to be made out of gold primarily with multiple rubies forming the shape of a sword constellation. On the inner part of the bracelet there were familiar runes however these were of different symbols and were red. Benedictus took the bracelet and then decided to look the information it had about it. 

Star Sword Bracelet:  This beautiful bracelet was made from 24 karat gold and flawlessly cut rubies. Originally a gift for an Arcane Swordmaster of a world that no longer exists, it was found floating amongst the stars buy a traveling astronaut from afar off world. It was passed down through their family for several generations before one member ended up coming to this world and sadly passing away. After a tuning to this bracelet whoever becomes its new owner gains the following 3 abilities:

1) Arcane Sword Bolt: You select a single target that you can see within 100ft and fire a spectral sword made of raw arcane magic at them. On a successful hit you will deal 8 to 64 magical fire damage + 8 to 64 magical force damage + your Brilliance. This can be used 5 times per day.

2) Impact Sword Counter: Whenever you are attacked by a target in melee range you can use your reaction to manifest and swiftly strike back with a massive spectral colossal sword made of raw arcane magic. This counter automatically hits and it deals 4 to 40 magical fire damage + 4 to 40 magical force damage + your Enlightenment. This can be used five times per day.

3) Mana Sword Rainshower: You manifest several dozen swords of different types all made of arcane energy in the air above you. All creatures within a 50ft high and 30ft radius wide cylinder centered on you must make a DC 35 Agility save or they will be struck by the falling arcane swords raining down on them from above. On a failed saving throw they take 12 to 120 magical fire damage  + 12 to 120 magical force damage + your Brilliance. On a successful save they take only half damage. On a critical successful save they take no damage. On a critical failed save they take double damage. This can be used twice per day.

After looking at it he immediately puts it on and gets notified that it will take an hour of having it on his person for the item to properly attune to him. The item was too good to simply let go. 

With a smile on his face he looks back to the others and says, "This was definitely worth the trip here. I hope there are some more rooms that you missed along the way. Hopefully we can find some more good loot."
