Moonrise Weapon Story

Moonrise Level 2 Weapon Story
"A man on a journey to seek out weapons eventually discovered the sword.
He wrapped it in several layers of cloth and took it with him, placing it in the bag he carried upon his back. But before the man realized what was happening, the cloth, the sword, and his own body ended up frozen solid."
Moonrise Level 3 Weapon Story
"A traveling shrine maiden eventually discovered the sword.
She offered a prayer to her god and gripped the hilt, but cold instantly shot through her fingers and into her body, freezing her solid. In her final moments, the shrine maiden unleashed words of great blasphemy to the god who had failed her."

"An enslaved woman in a mine eventually discovered the sword.
Desiring an easy death over the continuation of her daily suffering, she grasped the weapon firmly. And while the woman did not freeze, she was also unable to pierce her own flesh.
