Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sodain smiled and nodded setting another tray down near by as he also ate slowly from the same variety of food. though he could pack away more food being a dragon and all. Between mouthfuls he reminded Silvia. "Only eat what you can and or want to eat. Eating too much is just as bad as eating too fast. And the sooner your ready to spar again the better because we need to get ready and I refuse to go too far ahead of you in training. When we spar next time if you like we can focus on forming and perfecting your use of shadow weapons." Sodain said trying to set a plan of training into motion without too much grief.

Sodain's ear twitched a bit as the shadows whispered a bit. "Oh hush now you shadows Silvia is ready when she is comfortable with the matter if she is ever uncomfortable with wielding shadow weapons it proves she is not trained enough to handle what I throw at her. She is just that way. I tested her with the shadow step and once she felt comfortable with it she went all out with enough of a focal challenge. It was you bombarding her with too much information that got her bed ridden for the past 3 days." Sodain argued with the voices in the shadows shaking a fist at thin air.

Sodain smirked looking to Silvia "No its okay this is why talking is important and it don't hurt the shadows to ask them to slow down once and a while. If you feel your not yet ready for them that is why planning what to handle in sparring before sparing is done. so you don't end up going so out of control your powers make you fear them." Sodain said but just then a shadow being formed out of the shadows hitting Sodain upside the head then vanishing.

Sodain gave a hard cold look to that sheath and weapon and sighed. "No wonder if that is what your training her with. You can NOT just give a weapon like that to someone who is not that highly advanced with the formed weapons of one power and expect her to get the hang of using a weapon like that overnight." Sodain said coldly standing up gripping the sword as shadow ribbons sparked off it then wrapped around his arm as if the sword tested him and found him worthy.

"One must be able to shape their own power into any weapon needed before trying to grab this beast or it will do more harm to them then good. Living blades are fickle like that if she already placed her hand upon this blade without being ready in shaping shadows to a weapon she is lucky the sword was kind enough NOT to rip her arm off!" Sodain said seeming to become defensive at the sight of that weapon. "Now dare you to test what the blade would look like should I draw it out hmm? it takes the shape if I m not mistaken of the beast of power inside a persons soul and frankly what I know I am capable if pushed to my limits when angered like this even I fear looking at what would be drawn from this sheath, this blade is not nicknamed the beast of darkness just to strike fear in the opponent, It literally takes the form of the darkest emotions of the one holding its handle. Granted this is the same blde I speak of."

Sodain said in a very dark tone growling as he gripped the handle as to make his point he was ready to draw and see f certain if it was the beast sword of the shadow assassin clan, yet to be able to get a response of acceptance from it this time around would hold high suspicion upon Sodain's shadow skills if it indeed was the sword he spoke of.

Sodain sighed and let go of the sword though the sword did not seem to want to let go of Sodain he sighed and radiated a bit of light power from his hand making the sword let him go and Sodain sighed moving back. The sword seemed to make a whining noise at that and he shook his head. "Seems that sword liked me. it didn't want to let go of me..." He said sighing a bit and more and then straightened up. "Now that that is settled. What I meant was just to do something like this." He said holding his hand out and a shadow folded out from the palm of Sodain's hand in the form of a bow then shifted to a sword and then back into energy that flowed back into his hand.

"This I call a shadow weapon first it was a shadow bow and then a shadow short sword. There may come a time later you can tame Shadowmere... also known as the beast of darkness but that might not be for a good 20 years from now if you can survive that long. which is what my goal will be to help you train better, harder, faster to give you a chance to survive anything the world can throw at you. Who knows you might even become one of the rare enlightened immortals of the shadow clan that has transcended death and mortal afflictions. I certainly would not make you use such a beast as your sister I think intended until I made a valid point on the weapon in her hand." He said snickering winking and moved swiftly drawing it and the blade roared loudly and snarled darkly before turning into a butterfly shape flapping its wings a little then came to rest. "Behold the dreaded butterfly of pure fear driving intensity that made your sister feel genuine fear for once." Sodain snickered a bit at it.

Silvia's mother seeing this blade seemed stricken with severe panic eyes wide and rapid breathing hands digging into the chair arms threatening to snap them from her sheer panic stricken strength. "Dear god I was praying from what you said before the it wouldn't be THAT but it is the dread butterfly. I only seen it once but that was enough it can scatter into millions of smaller butterflies, it is worse then you think it's even more deadly then he made it sound. You do not know the power he wields in that blade. the kingdom eraser it is also called one wave or command it will cover an entire kingdom in seconds leaving nothing but wastelands in it's wake!" She said tearing up looking to Sodain very fearful. "you don't know the power it holds.... return it to its sheath!" she pleaded.

Sodain sighed seeing this biting his finger dripping his blood upon it 3 drops and the butterfly shook absorbing the droplets. 'Licritrol narshathrikta.' which was an older form of the shadow assassin secret language for 'Sleep now dark blade of the deadly shadows' the butterfly quivered and as he moved it carefully it shifted into a black blade as he returned it to the sheath. Which how did he know the ritual to put it to rest curious. A somber look showed on Sodain's face as if full of sadness, pain and grief.

"Actually I know full well what can be done with that form of this blade I once loosed its fury upon the Saratchti kingdom. I may look like a mere child of Sylvia's age but I am still a dragon phoenix hybrid mixed with vampire I as I look to be maybe 14 years old I am now likely 40 years old in truth. but I was merely 13 years old when I loosed its fury it was also the day I was introduced to the shadow assassin clan. After that incident I did not mean for the whole kingdom to vanish in less than 5 minutes. Only those who was out of the kingdom was spared the fury of the "vanishing butterfly" not even rubble was left of that castle or town. Just an empty blood red dirt field for over 50 miles stood around me the only flower a blood carnation that stood between my feet in the center of barren dirt survived only because I shielded it as I stood in terror to watching and hearing the sounds. It still lingers as a bad taste in my throat when I remember it." Sodain said softly closing his eyes sighing

"That was when the shadow clan you grew up in first obtained that sword, only those able to control their anger and all other emotions of darkness can use it. Due to my spite and resentment towards one single person in that place, no one this day no one younger than 26 years old even knows or remembers Saratchti kingdom. All of those others gone because of my emotions going wild over one person as I drew that blade. There was no stopping it only once the tiny butterflies returned to one big one like you seen after I drew that blade... only then could it be controlled." Sodain said softly sitting down looking at the floor remaining silent for the longest time.

Sodain coughed then smiled softly. "Though for the start of it just seeing what it turned into such a harmless looking thing to begin with was still funny no to talk big like that then pull out a butterfly is silly. Though butterflies are lovely and an image of peace and tranquility in nature. Real butterflies would never be so evil. But well enough could devour crops and lower farm produce which is the worst of the worry and harm they could do. It seems a mean trick who ever made that blade to make a sweet looking thing so powerful."

Sodain shivered a little but tried changing the subject. "But yeah when I mentioned forming weapons out of shadows morphing them in an instant to another as needed that was what I meant for shadow weapons. Would you be up for that?" He said using a shadow forming a bow and a twin dagger then a flute and then started playing it the tune out of the flute was light hearted and soft peaceful like as he watched listening to Silvia's answer.

Sodain smirked. "well did a glimpse of a turtle ever cross your mind? you need to focus only on the item shape also it might not have helped the shadows whispering ooh turtles are so cute. if you think of something it must not be broken with an item of strong mental connection crossing or it will change to something else. but to have a moving turtle you hold amazing power, even I can only do stationary shadow statue animals." Sodain said and smirked "also if you felt a bit sad because of what happened to me long ago your shadows are kind of a living part of you though like a second you that if you're sad or want to cheer up someone it could change the outcome of the shape as well."

Sodain said that holding flute out, "You need to be careful though luckily I only seen this with non living shapes but it I focus on a flute and a harp pops briefly this happens." he did it on purpose and the flute mutated being a cross of a flute and harp now. Where to change the notes he had to strum the strings as well as making harp music too. it seemed Sodain could play anything in his hands music wise.

"well that much power you could be the most fearsome and skillful assassin in your clan." Sodain said then jumped back as the wall exploded next to him and a bright glowing blade flies in and stabs right through Sodain it was massive in size as if it was to be wielded by a dragon of great size and Sodain looking down blinking at it. "Grimlord..... Do you have to meet me like this......" Sodain sighed looking down annoyed as it dug deeper into his chest "You know that only hurts me nothing more." Sodain said reaching out and gripping the handle pulling hard as shadow ribbons form around him turning pale grey and he rips the sword out the way it stabbed into him blood spraying out as it is removed and Sodain gives it a nasty look. "Do you have any idea how much that hurt! you burst in here skewering me after being created and try to kill me drinking my blood into you and for what! it only hurt like a punch to the ribs and pissed me off. You.... You..... Argh!"

A dragon in a scientist outfit and wild hair half human half dragon form peek into the hole. "Err I hope everythings.... HOLY FRIJOLES look at all that blood are you...... Wow you lost that much blood and still standing?" Then a soft light flowed from grimlord and the wound healed from it and Sodain glared. "Yeah you better say sorry and fix that what you did to me next time you want to hug me change into a human like form next time with arms not a blade through my torso. No wonder your named Grimlord." Sodain said grunting lifting the sword like it was weightless and then the blood formed into a jeweled sheath coating the blade and the bright glow of light faded from the handle and floated by Sodain's side as if feeling bad for that and chose to pay off his debt as if to make up by serving Sodain in his battles.

The dragon scientist blinked and scratched his head. "Hmm seems like that sword I just made... or well remade from what I read of and found this old large dragon blade rusted in a field of flowers to be a most sacred blade fusing it with the life stones of dragonia that repulses shadow kin magic to be like the beast blade of darkness but the counter effect of it. I haven't even named it but I think seeing how it looked I will call it blood of light." the dragon scientist said.

Sodain slapped his face looking through his fingers at the an and sighed. "Look when this sword stabbed into me I heard Grilord echo from it as well as shadows in the room who speak gasped the nae Grimlord. So no we are naming it grimlord and that is final not going to call him Colistranti the dragon name meaning blood of light. It don't fit at all." Sodain snapped and the dragon scientist yelled back "I made it I name it!" he said defiantly and Sodain glared at him "Yell well he stabbed me first and flew to me so I decide the name it is how magic swords are named after all not always by the maker! Grimlord meaning heaven's lost sword the destroyer of shadows darkness is more fear enticing anyway!" Sodain said in not a yell or scream but a calm rather cool cold and collective tone.

The dragon scientist gawked and stammered huffing "FINE! Grimlord then.... Gotta be so cool about it and so pointedly venomous to make me unable to have a comeback.... Jerk..." He said storming down the hall grumbling. Sodain winced slightly and held his chest and stomach a little as his illusion magic of his human form shimmered as if he was turning into fire then stabilized into flesh again but he sat down looking weakened and sighed "Whoo you do pack a punch even for me to handle Grimlord. It still burns where you stabbed me." Sodain said sitting back there was still a red mark as if runes had started burning into Sodain's skin where Grimlord stabbed him.
