Chapter 125: Rich get richer

Anor Londo, city of gods and bastion of humanity where deities watch proudly from their palaces sitting above the clouds. A place where great architecture and riches are abundant, a place that's currently having almost everything stolen by teenager who somehow managed to gain entry to one of the most fortified places in the world. Reima had spent some time going from vault to vault, starting from the lower tier members like Smough and some silver knight captain who'd been slain by demons, his vault remains for his family to access... Or it would if Reima hadn't stolen everything inside, most of what he'd found inside of it was gold coins, old armour, trinkets and paintings presumably of the captain and his family.

Smough's vault was rather disturbing... While it had the typical chests full of coins, it also had what seemed to be a drying rack of human meat. Most common of which seemed to be from children, Reima doesn't really know the full story of the sick executioner but he's proud that he'd ended the life of the one responsible of what's inside here. He burns the bodies and destroyed the jars that were pickling some eye balls and other unidentifiable organs, before saying a prayer and leaving to the opposite vault. The next one seemed to be Havel's... Reima can only tell due to examining the scratched off nameplate for a couple minutes, the room is empty. It seems that Gwyn had all his assets seized when he was found colluding with dragons, an unfortunate fate for a loyal knight.

Some of the other vaults seemed to be for major noble names, Reima doesn't recognise any of them but the piles of gold coins made him respect their "hustle". The things that were most different when compared to the vaults belonging to the knights is that the nobles seemed to have collected many pieces of fine art, amazing paintings, pottery, statues, jewellery and clothing all were found in abundance... The thing that surprised him the most was the small displays which had tags calling them "God's metal", of course the things displayed were varying sizes and colours of titanite, one even had a white slab sitting on a golden pedestal. It must've been the prized possession of this particular noble... And now it belongs to Reima, he leaves a small note saying sorry with a sad stick man just in-case the noble stills lives and somehow gets inside this place.

After collecting a large amount of crafting materials that will certainly be enough to upgrade his armour he looks at the gold doors instead of the previous bronze and gold gilded ones, it seems that the pure gold ones belonged to the gods... Reima would try and steal the doors too but after an hour attempting to remove it from it's hinges he gave up.

Reima enters the lowest value vault belonging to a god, he pushes the doors open and sees a name he'd not thought he would see here, Seath... He thought the dragon would hoard all his treasure in his archives but he must've guessed wrong, he looks around and sees towering bookshelves inside, if Logan saw this he'd have a heart attack. Reima skims through a ragged one left on the floor and realises they are notes for creating "scales" which ended up leading to Crystal Sorceries, he sees a few pedestals dotted around the room with books gilded in silver and Crystal? He opens one and finds a sorcery that causes a Crystal shard to shoot up from the ground to impale whatever the target was. Reima excitedly stores all the books before looking at the huge book cases, his Folded Space wouldn't be able to store such large objects and so he leans them forward slightly while readying his Folded Space... The books starts sliding out of the book shelf and falling directly into his Folded Space, after an hour he had completely stolen every book. He looks around and realises there are still a couple things left. He walks over to the chest and opens it after kicking it a few times, inside he finds a large amount of Crystal weapons... They aren't really good for all that much, while they are strong and deal a lot of damage their durability is so low that he wouldn't be surprised if they shattered upon impact with something. He stores them anyway and moves on to the next chest, inside he finds a single doll covered in Crystal... He picks it up and finds that it resembles Sol, Priscilla's doll quite a lot, perhaps Seath knew of his daughters existence?

Reima finishes up ransacking Seath's vault and moves onto the next, which happens to belong to a certain cross dresser... He glances around the prestine room and sees a large amount of dresses, Reima idly wonders whether Quelina or Priscilla would appreciate them since they look rather cute and comfortable. He stores them away instead of burning them as there is no point in burning good clothes, he finds a good amount of gold but an even greater amount of silver... It seems the Dark Suns affinity with silver wasn't a lie, the thing Reima appreciates the most is the apparent pureness of the metals contained inside the bank, that have to be at least 99% pure since he can bend the gold relatively easily. Reima scours the room and finds some Dark Moon emblems but not much else, he does find some books but they aren't legible at all, perhaps an illusions is overlayed atop them? Maybe they contain insight in Gwyndolin's unique illusion magic.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS

Reima now the richest person in the world, that happened quickly... Doesn't really matter though as gold is useless in the apocalyptic world of Dark Souls

As always, if I missed anything please let me know.
