Royal eting(final)
"I see. Might I ask why you ca through the mountains then as I assu you had no need to take such a risk?" she asked after accepting my answer easily. I shrugged "It was the fastest way to get here and while I am not exactly on a deadline I prefer not wasting ti I don't need to." I said honestly. "You an to say you went through those extrely dangerous lands just to save ti? I find that... difficult to comprehend." she said in disbelief. I chuckled "You don't get a record like mine without thinking in an abnormal manner. Perhaps to most the risk to reward ratio is unbalanced but I REALLY value efficiency." I said honestly.-
"I suppose I'll need to content myself with that answer. On to the more important topic then, why I had you brought here before . As you no doubt already know thanks to Walden the remnants left behind by the aura guardian order so long ago have languished without energy and thus sat dormant. The league has done a fairly good job covering it up but it is difficult to erase the fact that you are an aura master with your casual attitude in using the energy in public."-
"In addition your signature weapon, a spear, is not so normal weapon but if my theory is correct a conduit weapon, do you deny any of this?" She said seriously. I shook my head "No that all sounds about right though calling Oga a re conduit weapon is a disservice to it, it's far more than that." I said calmly. "And how exactly did you co across such an artifact?" the queen asked with narrowed eyes. "I didn't "co across it" I had it forged, so I have nothing to be concerned about in regards to it's origins." I clarified confidently.-
"Alright lets say I believe that you sohow managed to find another aura master, a smith no less, that still doesn't explain where you got wood from a species of tree that only can be found in my kingdom to use as a handle." she said questioningly. "Ah but that's where things get interesting as I got that wood thanks to your own mistake. See soone in your kingdom, can't say who since I don't know, mistakenly cut down a sapling and shipped off the wood to sale."-
"There it eventually found itself in the inventory of a rchant in Lilycove where I discovered it thanks to my abilities and purchased it, I even have the sales receipt." I said with a chuckle. "We will need to verify to see if this information checks out but I must admit that it is certainly possible, nay probable. If a sapling of an Aeons tree did not have the extraordinary features of the great tree then it being mistaken for a normal lumber species is not unusual at all. The reports state that your spear holds unusual properties for a conduit weapon, can you explain where they ca from?" she asked and I did.
I told her about how the spears head was the lifelong hamr of the old smith and had been baptized by his aura over decades. How it had been reforged into a spear and then imbued in the blood and death of a Heatran thus developing it's unique properties. I explained my struggles in finding a wood that could serve as a new handle for this spearhead and the discovery of the Aeons wood. "And that's the whole of it from start to finish." I said ending my explanation. -
"That is certainly quite the tale and surprisingly not unreasonable to verify either though the murder of a legendary is of course not sothing we wish to attempt to verify that particular facet of it. That said I would like to see this weapon for myself to compare it with a traditionally forged conduit weapon, my crown." she said and I had no problem with that at all and so under the watchful eyes of the knights withdrew Oga from my bag. Even while I didn't funnel aura into the spear the air warped around it's head from the heat it naturally radiated.-
"Such an oppressive sensation! It's like the weapon itself desires no less than absolute dominance, how very in line with it's master." the queen said but refused to take the weapon when I held it out to her. If anything she shied away from it nervously though I suppose that was to be expected. Oga had been "tainted" by my own aura over ti and as a result carried properties of my own personality. Naturally this also included my dream of reaching the pinnacle as well as my pride that when added to it's fiery nature ca across as oppression.-
"I can also activate it's currently inactive abilities if you'd like to see them?" I offered calmly. "That would be appreciated though perhaps you might want to step back first." she said warily. I took a few steps back before holding the spear properly and channeling my aura into it. The grooves of the handle lit up as the energy flowed through it and upon reaching the head ignited brilliantly in a raging fla across the spears head. The knights nearby took a step back as the heat slamd into them but just as fast as I powered up the spear I cut off the flow of energy which caused the flas to recede slowly as if unwilling.-
"Indeed as you have said comparing the normal conduit weapons to that weapon is an insult to that spear. I believe you said it's na was Oga? Is there any particular reason for that na?" she asked curiously. "It was the final and greatest masterwork the smith made and so we nad it fittingly." I said honestly. "I believe that smith would be proud to know that he had such an instruntal hand in the birth of such an artifact." The queen said with a smile.-
After that she requested that I reactivate the inscriptions in the castle and if possible a few carefully chosen artifacts. In exchange she agreed to allow to look over the ruins of the aura guardian order as well as the records they left behind. Admittedly the latter were fragnted to say the least and held very little that anyone could extrapolate sothing useful from. Despite this however I was able to compare my own information to these records to figure out EXACTLY how far a truly determined aura master might be able to go using these records.-
The answer surprisingly was quite far as amongst the records was the complete ditation thod as well as a few advanced snippets that would allow an aura master to have a wobbly but fast and long growth by normal standards. However I believe that Adept mastery was as far as these records would take soone as literally all the higher information was missing, no doubt hidden away or destroyed by the order.
