The journey of Sif and unknown man continues, though we will call him Gabriel, as Sif wants.

Next place they encounter is a small village in which they decided to stay and eat. As they enter the bar, a person says to them, "excuse me, you girl, you are Sif aren't you? You are after a Holy Grail?" and instinctively Sif says "why do you ask" to which he responded with, you come with me, you are to eat in another bar. Gabriel had his arm on the sword whole time so as he says "if you try something, I will slash through you first"

The stranger showed them to another bar and in which they encounter another person that looks like they were chiseled from a stone. They they think that's some type of trap so Gabriel gets his sword out of the sheet. "Woah woah, keep it cool, I wont fight you" said the other guy "I want to play a game, I have no intentions in killing you, you see, when you die chasing holy grail, it can reincarnate you in the form of stone soldier, which enhances your durability and strength and what not, but most importantly, it puts something in you too, it puts a desire to protect it. You two went after it, which made it reincarnate some people who chased it before, they are still those people, they have same personalities and combat skills but also desire to protect their creator. They don't need to kill you, but they don't know any other option... I know"

"And what is it?" woman said "I wont tell you, but I do want to play games with you. You see, I was not called for you, I was reincarnated years ago when someone else went after grail, but I survived and never returned to my grave. So now I just exist in this village, I cant leave it, we cannot leave place where we were reincarnated, so I made a nice living here, have friends I have partners and I have a desire to protect my creator. Now sit down, lets play"

Gabriel sat down with a strange man, as he explained him what they will play. "Firstly we will play darts, then we will juggle and arm wrestle. Sounds alright?" 

"And why do I do that? Wouldn't it be easier for me to slash you with my sword and go with my day?" asked Gabriel

"Well it would definitely be easier but I don't think my friends would like that" after which Gabriel looked around, "everybody is staring at me" he whispered "and they have guns, big ones" said the man and then  he continued "I promise you, if you just play these games with me, they wont hurt you, after we are finished with the games, you can just leave and I wont get close to you again, alright?"

Gabriel had to accept the challenge.

"I have never played the darts" said Gabriel, "don't worry, we wont play them by normal rules anyway, we each have three darts, winner is the one who hits center most amount of the times, we will play in two rounds." man responded

"I have to ask you something before we start playing, who are you?" asked Gabriel, to which man responded "When I was alive, I was known as Mahatma Gandhi"

Gandhi is Indian anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist. He was most memorable for his pacifistic personality and as a man who freed India from British rule. Gandhi is known as a kind and peaceful person but also as a total dick in person. He refused to save his wife's life because only British doctors could help her, with British medicine, so his wife died. When he was in the same situation, he gladly took British medicine and survived. He also slept with underage girls and threated Jews he will kill them if they try to escape.

First went Gandhi and he managed to hit the center only one time out of three shots, then he went and took out his darts and told Gabriel to continue. Gabriel on the other hand missed his first shot, but managed to hit his next two. He then went to take out his darts, he was struck by one of Gandhi darts blaming it on Gabriel as his hand was in the way. 

Gandhi hit three centers in total while Gabriel managed to hit center four times. Gabriel complained about his hand being pierced by a metal dart but Gandhi ignored. 

The next round is juggling, "this is easy to explain, the person who can juggle more beer bottles wins"

Gandhi started with one, then two, and then he was thrown the third bottle which he successfully juggled for couple of seconds, when he was thrown fourth bottle he managed to juggle it for a few seconds but then failed. 

Gabriel started juggling one bottle, then two and just like Gandhi he could easily do the third one.

"I didn't know he could do that" Sif said proudly

Then he was thrown a fourth bottle and he struggled a bit, but then he asked for fifth and as soon as he was given one, everyone shot at the glasses, shattering them all over Gabriel's body and hands.

Gabriel realized that all Gandhi wants to do is harm him as much as he can but to keep it subtle to keep his head on. "Just one more game and we can go" Gabriel told Sif, "That's right! And its the fastest one, arm wrestling!"

They both sat down, and Gandhi said "go wash your hands, I don't want blood and glass on my hands" so Gabriel did that and when he came back he was ready. They started wrestling and Gabriel was wining at first but because he just got pierced by a dart and cut all over hands with glass, he could do much. Gandhi started wining but Gabriel didn't know what will happen if he loses one of the games, he can't believe Gandhi everything he says. With all of his strength he started pulling up and eventually managed to win but in the last second Gandhi positioned his grip so that Gabriel would injure his wrist

Gabriel won all three of the games, and was released. On their way to another bar where they could eat in peace, Sif cursed Gandhi and his evil little games because Gabriel's wrist is injured, but when she looked at him, he looked at her and said "we won yet another battle" calmly as if he didn't just get his other arm injured as well.

"You won another battle, not me" Sif said  

"What does golden necklace of skadi mean? and what is potemancer?"

"Uh...well you see, potemancer just means witch, that is how witches call themselves, we witches come in different tribes with different ways of doing magic for different things, we differentiate each other by our necklaces, I am from golden skadi tribe, and the witch we encountered was from ruby skadi tribe. Ruby skadi tribe is the most populous tribe, there is a lot of them, their specialty are potions for various things, poisons, healing potions, plant type potions...there are tons. My tribe is in the middle when it comes to rarity, we don't have any healing abilities, that's why I wasn't able to help you. Our tribe has a joint based abilities.

We have ability to grow joints to s and others. Not real joints though, imagine like yellow arm made out of energy. Its there and you can use it normally, but its not really your arm, it wouldn't stop you from bleeding and I have to consciously keep it on me or you, I can't just attach it to someone and go sleep.

There is no reason to tell you all this though, because I swore to my dead husband that I will never use magic again."
