Balsa and Chagum visit a great swordsmith to get a new blade for Balsa's spear. The swordsmith agrees to forge her a new blade once he is convinced that she did not kill the prince. He locks them in a storage room before Mon and Jin enter the cabin to pick up their repaired swords, which happen to be in the same storage room. Before the swordsmith lets them retrieve their swords, he explains he would create a magnificent weapon for a warrior who uses it for justice and not malice. He tells the two of a story about a warrior who died while protecting a child from assassins, which alludes to Jiguro and Balsa. He grabs the swords from the storage room for them, and they give their thanks before leaving. After Balsa and Chagum come out in hiding, the swordsmith gives Balsa her new spear seven days later.
