Welcome to Gaia! ::

The wolf girl looked to her brother sighing. "So what exactly is it you don't like about Silvia if I might ask? Before giving my name I need to know you can be trusted. There is an Air of uncertainty from you for one thing which makes my brother who is very attuned to such things. But yes the past is past. But if I might ask, what do you know or remember of Syna the skyward light kingdoma person known as Sodain, and if it was not the way things turned out if Silvia was still as she was in the world before what you would do should you see her?" She asked judging the reactions of Kala closely as the wolf girl's eyes turned a mossy green, and a less child like tone was in her voice now.
------
Sodain stopped walking and just stood now at the corner of a street next to a lamp post as if he no longer had the feeling to go some place specific. Sodain thought of this why he felt he had to come to this spot but had a feeling he would find out soon enough why he felt pulled to this spot.
-----
The one person who spoke sighed as the three followed this girl. And another spoke up strongly. "If you don't like doing this which mind you it is simple work just to follow and keep an eye on the 'princess' here I mean come on if the lord did not trust her he would just lock her in a room cutting off all freedoms she has. What our job is to do is follow her to keep her out of trouble, meaning if anyone jumps her we intervene before she uses her abilities to fight back, Due to her being unable to control them even with the restriction item on her some powers still can be used or act like self defense measures in a way. Like how touching a really hot object your reflex action is to jerk your hand back from it. In that manner some of her powers act like that. And we are to minimize damage in regards to that. And if you don't shut up she might her us and notice us to try making another break for it like she did a few months ago you moron."

The first one glared at the second one. "Your the one talking louder then I was you imbecile if she notices us it will be because of you. Then if she runs we will have no choice but to chase her down again. And I won't be held accountable for your mistakes of letting her see us following her you fool."

The wolf girl had one other gift that of channeling the conscious power of nature it's self giving temporary a body though of energy infused with the elements to make a solid form, thus giving body to mother nature herself. She looked with the mossy green eyes quickly to the male. "Yeah I noticed what you noticed child. So has your sister. But what use is there to whisper those thoughts when she heard every word ans speaking of joy in a paused way towards Silvia.... Though in her mind screaming to herself for saying that instead of what she rather feels. Also her name is Kala,

Or so this one claims is her name however there is a secondary part of her soul for the joining into this body though your sister hoped and called for one that would benefit and not despise the very body she was in. Instead we get this one. Whom I witnessed pushing her way through a few others that was going to answer the call. You don't have much control over yourself let alone the powers of the body, sure you can use them, but not as effective as the Shadow clans prodigy whom you may be half sisters with and should get along like regular siblings, you hold more contempt because most likely you seen it as no matter what you did you never got treated equal to Silvia.

Bottling the spite inside towards Silvia as I assume you did, and leaving unsettled dispute between the two of you n your death never coming to terms with things you could never move on to be reborn. But seeing the fact that Silvia indeed was able to she came to terms over it, And even forgave you for trying to kill her. But yes Sodain a warrior at times can be quite wild, specially since he is well in a way you can say he is on my payroll as a defender of nature. He himself has saved quite a few places of nature with his born gifts. Thus I granted him true immortality this life around." She said jumping gracefully and swiftly upon the alter slinging her legs over a side. as if it was a chair. Which was very unlike the male's sister to do. Which is a strong sign that perhaps mother nature herself had been speaking through her.

"However. No matter the reasons of why you dislike her, and by giving her a hug you would only do so to disguise the blade you run into her guts to get your revenge. Yet unfortunately for you this fellow Sodain you seen him first before Silvia. then you took a liking romantically to him seeing how your sister was flirting you seen it as competition to try stealing him from her. Yet he had already imprinted on her the way dragons do, Meaning he ignored all of your advances and seen through your tricks to smear Silvia's name and to try getting him to fall in love with you.

Yet the one thing you did not take into account was that perhaps he was actually not born human, only part human and part some highly gifted, highly advanced animal that took interest usually into one person mainly. Such as what happens to dragons and a few other animals like wolves for instance." She said watching every move Kala made as icy looking vines slowly grew out of the ground piling up like coiled snaked a few vines twisting around others as if to make a strong rope like form. As she talked to Kala like this hoping to distract her. "In fact as I recall when looking in on Sodain's past through life he received lots of poems and gifts as well as letters of infatuation.

Which held energy similar to yours on it. Yet he took them as being from Silvia I am sure. Because your hand writing was similar to hers and the notes, love letters and gifts was signed simply 'Yours truly with lots of love.' but no initial, no name to state it was from someone else. And yes I just looked back a few seconds ago. But if this was not you indeed, If you perhaps wrote it for another it could explain your energy on them in your hand writing.

And thus if I am mistaken for your infatuation of things I have seen in regards towards this Sodain fellow. Then you have my deepest apologies, How ever I can see and listen through a person's lies. Oddly I can not peek into your own past. So I can not validate this for myself. However I know you lied to me, For the pool you came through the pool of spirits I seen glimpses of your memories which showed you hiding in trees following Silvia and Sodain to a hidden training ground, you peeking in the window at him as he showered in his private bathroom in his house.

So I do know you said "You had little to few memories of him. Mostly going by Silvia's but why would you? Seeing how you loathe Silvia it should make you fill even more dirty then speaking of feeling joy towards her. Thus also her memories of things that has made you form this grudge towards her, They would be recalled being seen in a different point of view than your own which could contradict the memories you seen it as her always getting more praise than you ever did. As if your father thought and treated her nicer than you." She said in a voice that seemed to purr as she smirked seeming to try to goad Kala to show her true nature.
-------
Sodain was thinking turned a bit to just walk off not sure what was going to happen then he started around the corner he got hit into by a young girl falling to the ground. His arms instinctively grabbed her to shield her from the fall. letting her land on him instead of falling backwards herself and getting hurt. He grunted and looked to her his look stern but gentle. "Pardon me my fair lady. I did not see you coming, but based on your quickened heart beat and labored breathing your either running due to try getting someplace on time. Or your running from something or someone." He said getting up and offered his hand as he spoke in a noble air of tone to help her up.

Soon the three noticed her take off taking off after her not to lose sight of her the first one had stopped a ways back as the other two caught up to him it seemed they was not trying to progress upon her too fast and the first having the two stop as he watched. Their mission was mostly to keep an eye on her not much else.

Sodain seemed to look and glance at the three men. "As there are others standing back a way as if observing mostly out of breath like you are and their hearts also racing from the coloration on their faces I take it was the latter that you was running from them. Need any help perchance?" Sodain said softly to the young lady.

The girl sighed closing her eyes a moment. "Now who is jumping to conclusions my dear Kala? You assume that my preparing a means of restraint should you try attacking myself, my daughters body or my son here, Having a way to defend us from you attacking us which I might add is always done to anyone going through a process like this. There is a secondary energy similar to your own inside you Silvia's body as well. Similar to yours only even darker then you now reveal. Yes I do not doubt you showed to be kind to her in front of her and others. But plotted ways to get even in the private of your bowers late in the night.

And I said if I was mistaken for seeing the same energy on items that spoke of adoration, and love placed on the stoop of Sodain's bedroom, in hand writing that was your own that I deeply apologize for the misunderstandings, Because though while I can look into others pasts, Sodain's past I seen this from his view but picked up the same energy you hold within yourself upon these items. I could see in both Sodain's past as well as Silvia's own how you acted around them and yet some reason I am blocked to looking into your past for some reason and could not clarify the reasons you would write love letters to anyone unless you wrote them for some one else unless you had the actual feelings, Or conspired to steal Sodain away from Silvia's affections to try hurting Silvia. These are 3 things possible. I too once had a sibling that was doted on more and praised more then myself had been.

Yet I held my sister in contempt for it and conspired to watch her suffer the while I acted nice in front of her. though plotted how to take her out of the equation every night to sleep good. Though I may not have had it as bad as you yourself had it. I still plotted to steal my sisters courtiers to hurt her. Even planted false love letters to them putting things my sister never felt towards them hoping if they brought it up she would get so offended she would have nothing to do with them. Just to watch her squirm and suffer in agony."

The girl said softly sighing. "True if I did not want to let you in the body you would have been stopped. And for what I glimpsed from you saying was what I perceived from your memories showed you knew about Sodain more than relying on just Silvia's memories. I simply asked "If you deep down hated Silvia so much why come take over her body?" For the matter the memories that seemed to hold emotion towards Sodain of love could have been in a way to be seen of how you was trying to hurt Silvia by acting towards Sodain to try hurting your sister and might not have been real, Which I did admit to that possibility though not in grand detail mind you. Yet you jump to the conclusion I am saying Silvia can not do any wrong which I was not. I simply was trying to get you to show your real feelings towards Silvia which..." She paused licking her lips and smirked a bit. "... Worked better than I could have hoped for. mind you seeing what glimpses of memory snippets if you seen these." She said waving her hand and a crystallized surface formed in thin air from ice framed by icy vines showing the snippets. "If you seen this would you not also come to the conclusion that possibly someone having them would feel something towards the person surrounding them?

Admittedly there is not enough information in these snippets to say for certain if the person having these would really feel it or forcefully envisioned it to be able to write things to somehow cause a rift between two individuals to watch them suffer. I admit that one time I was a lot like you towards a sibling of mine that I seen in the same light you seen Silvia. So it is how I know you was not being honest with your words of treating Silvia with joy." She said opening her eye from another long blink a very serious look upon her face.

"And yes I admit my daughter Sarana had not had more distinct requirements for the soul, I seen it as a possibility to give a chance to one like yourself in hopes performing like you was raised to be inside Silvia's body might help you let go of your grudge that should have died the moment Silvia herself died. But which lingers on from the outcome that lead you dying by Silvia's own hand prevented from you being able to let go of the grudge upon your death. And likely to have your soul keep the grudge long after your death. Though upon Silvia's death you should have felt as if your revenge towards her had been fulfilled and should have been able to let it go. And as for insinuating there was a secondary you, A darker personality inside that body that is separate from yourself is from my own witness to a split personality forming when a soul even the original if there was a lot of bottled up resentment inside the soul can fracture the soul into two parts.Thus creating a split personality inside the body.

My conclusions to this possibility is from my own experiences when doing this to give certain souls a second chance to let go of the pent up resentment so they can move on into being reborn. That is why I made pools like this one. Which if I really wanted to remove you from that body I would not need to restrain you. All that was wanted was a soul that could use the gifts Silvia's body was born with and to help defend the side of light from the darkness. That was the main filter upon the requirements placed on the soul. And I just need to make sure that is your intent and not intend to seek out the reborn version of Silvia to try and terrorize her or seek to get revenge, For because she was able to let go of her possible hard feelings and grudge towards you and able to move on after death, A right you equally have to be able to do.

But no you will see the feelings towards Silvia and yourself are indifferent but as the main protector and caretaker of nature just like an employer seeking to interview you for a certain job I interview you and your intentions before deciding if I will let you remain in this body.

My daughter wanted to make sure Silvia's body could not be used by evil or for evil intentions. Yet was not highly specific to what kind of soul can enter though I have repeatedly told her rituals like this you need to be very very detailed with if you have certain requirements. She unfortunately has never experienced anything like you or I had endured with a sibling or half sibling stealing the light of praise for a good job done so she naively thought there would not be one with a grudge like you have. Sarana is far too trusting, and when she does have to take action to defend the life tree I sacrificed my body to save this world and preserve nature it's self.

The tree of life which bears apples that look to be made out of gold that can many refer to as the fables tree of eternal life sadly is all that remains of my body. I did what none other would do and in the end used my very own body to save this world. It was a large price to pay for the salvaging of this world long long ago. And if I had a second chance I would do it again to protect my few children I had, as well as the essence of life it's self. Yet even then I was looked down upon by all those who praised my sister even for the things I did I seen her taking the credit from me and got praised which I worked hard to get being stolen from me. I was called a fool and an idiot for doing it. Yet it was all that I could do to save this world then. So no you assuming I say Silvia could do no wrong is your own conjecture behind my meanings behind preparing restraints." She said watching Kala now a seething tone in her own voice in response to Kala.
------
Sodain sighed "You don't need to run from me or fear hurting me my fair lady. And it would be no trouble to help you." He said bending over picking up a book that fell from when she ran into him standing up seeing her gone and those three having run past him as well he sighed turning walking off the same direction but cutting through an alley way popped out briefly before the three turned the corner grabbing her pulling her into the alley covering her mouth "don't move or make a sound." He said waving his hand it looked as if heat radiated from his waving hand making the air distort a little from the heat.

One of the three stopped just before the alley looking down it frowning and though looked right at them ran off still seeming to be looking for her. Once the 3 had enough time to get far enough away Sodain let go of her looking out of the alley way. "There that should have bought you some more time until they double back here to possibly find you. Sorry for interfering but it looked as if you was anything but fine having three men following you like that. Also you dropped this book and ran before I could hand it back to you." He said turning looking to her offering the book out to her not seeming to fear her, not of course seeing any reason to fear her. Though the possibility of what Sodain did to get them to look right at them and not see them might have given her a few questions as how he did that.

The girl stood up slowly off the alter as wind whirled around her lightly. "You!.... YOU DARE! claim that I am plotting to end you when you do NOT get your way of being let go to as far as I know stalk some people and wreak havoc in her body to get her hated by most people that do not know her? Instead of fighting against the forces that plot to do this to our world?" She says as she raises her voice the whole cavern shakes but then a mist filled the air to beside the nature spirit showing the war against the vile darkness which left a large scar on the land when it was sealed away. "Look closely to this battle you selfish, self righteous, pompous, cry baby that can think only on how she was slighted attention letting that vileness corrupt you." She snapped at Kala showing her the past battle. In it the gods themselves vanished and a bright light from the sealing of the great vile darkness.

Only a single feather of flames slowly wafted in the air before bursting to flame and into ash. Once it showed that it zoomed out showing the massive crater surrounded by trees that withered in seconds falling and crumbling as it slowly spread outward. "This is the battle where most the gods vanished because of the sheer power a few died to be reborn, but others just vanished with no trace. And have not returned. They could not defeat that which sent upon it's death a energy that was rapidly decaying all living things. To stop it from spreading over the world I had to sacrifice my body to stop it from spreading further than that." She said furiously watching Kala.

Calming slightly now she runs her hand through her hair and then spoke. "That is what happened in the past, That thing is still sealed away trapped yet it is still alive. It however had two sons one who takes more after the evil intent he had. And this one is trying to find a way to gain his powers, Yet the decaying power is still in that spot just contained from spreading. Anything that goes into that place without having the power that caused will share the same fate as the trees you seen age over 500,000 years in mere seconds turning to nothing. Even though that power does not control aging or time that is how the decay appears to effect things. If anyone gets two parts of a mask placing them together and putting it on will be able to take even the shadow of death and decay power.

However if any other attempt to steal the powers of that great evil they will only steal up to everything except the decay But this is the fate if people who wish to save life it's self fight with each other." She said showing one possible future where the power is used and released and no other that was strong enough like mother nature herself was the entire world barren of all forms of life. Than She sighed and spoke. "Meaning even if I did let you go do what ever you wanted due to your corrupt state you could be standing on his side,

But you still will not be able to do as you wanted. Not being able to get your grudge fulfilled the way you might want for instance. Thus one of the reasons the interrogation process exists. The reason she was returned to a pure living form instead of part living and part machine was in hopes her powers can be used to help fight against this fate. But if this man did succeed in gaining two mask halves and combined them as to the halves making the seal just having to match one mask. It will undo what I had done and all others even your own mothers sacrifice to be in vein.

And even if he was destroyed on the verge of gaining these powers the world would suffer rapid decay from the barrier holding that last resort spell back for the past several thousand years will still be broken and have no one who could stop it. You still would have to live with the world becoming void of all plant life, all things that grow to eat will be gone. If someone was lucky to survive." She said softly calmly and just had a cold stare upon Kala.
-------
Sodain shrugged a bit. "I well it depends what happens that causes people around you to get hurt. I don't fear a lot of things but why would I have to fear you. I just met you and offered help to you. But then again it might also be because..." One of the men yells. "I found her standing talking to someone. They are at AIIIIYYEEEEE!" Then the radio goes silent.

Sodain has a arm out smoke rising off it after a fireball flew straight out the palm of his hand towards the man which hit the radio communicator frying it making it unable to send or receive. "....Well lets just say I am not a normal human. I don't use technology to fling fire about like most people. Also I do not need an amplifier or restriction device." Sodain said smirking a bit taking a pose that might just make him look similar to a fabled night in most history books. Sodain seemed to be intently listening to the sounds of the world around him as well as listening for the young girl's reaction.

The mother nature possessed girl rolled her eyes and just watched. "Wow a bit mellow dramatic aren't we." She said pinching the brow of her nose a bit shaking her head. A plant beast walked in morphing out of the ground and just looked snorting to the wolf boy then sniffed at Silvia's body sneezing another split from it sniffing the air taking off in a bursting flurry of leaves.

The beast first beast lay on Silvia's body coating it with a sort of sap then it got up as the wounds on Silvia's body started to heal and the beast sat at the girls feet. The girl who had mother nature in control reached out petting the head of the grass and leave with vines and flowers wrapped about to create this dryad like creature. "Good girl yes you track down that loathing seething traitor, She can't trust anyone who can take possession of another's body hmm? Well I wonder does that go the same for herself?" She said in a purr like voice.

This creature snorted a bit. It was a type of guard creature that was made by mother nature long ago. It just sat there as if awaiting something.
------
Sodain smirked a bit. "Well I am sort of like you. born with gifts. But I was also given one gift I was not born with." Sodain said watching her as one of the guards dropped from above landing slowly standing. "Princess we have come to take you back to your father. Unfortunate those who followed you was not ordered to do so and they will get reprimanded for it. Come along peacefully away from that man before something bad happens." One of them said as 4 others dropped down standing up slowly wearing dark cloaked ninja like clothing. One was behind the young girl and the others blocked Sodain's reach from her.

Sodain tilted his head sneering a little and then smirked as a glint of a blade was seen. "I see so you see someone like me as a threat. if I really wished to do any harm to her it would not have come subtle under the guise of trying to gentlemanly. I would have done it the moment she bumped into me while you 6 watched yet with only 5 present now and no trace of the 6th I can only concur that the 6th went to inform her father of what happened. Oh yes I was aware of you guys following her from the time she bumped into me.

She dropped her book on history fact and myth. I mearly tracked her down and pulled her away covering her from being not seen by the other pursuers to have a little time to just talk to her, to let her know she dropped and left her book behind when running with a look of possible fear which concerned me a tad bit. Why was she fearful of having close contact also if I was here to hurt her. I would not have grabbed her as she started to fall to use my body to cushion her fall when we both fell. Also I would not have been nice from the start. my intent is plain for all to see when I intend things. I do not play sneak attack because there is greater honor to let others know what is to come than to stab in the back after acting nice." Sodain said a phrase that was quoted in the same book as a treaty of peace was to be made and the record of it was displayed in the history museum as well as put into that book she had.

Leaning his head over looking between them to the girl. "If that is the same book I just mentioned indeed. Look for the rest of this poem that would be in that book." He said then spoke. "Neither blade, spear, nor arrow may hurt me, None shall pierce to my heart when I am my true self. No mortal made weapon or tool of might or science shall harm me for this is my truth to the answer that which you seek....." Sodain said in his heavy accent and the first one threw a throwing knife which indeed bounced off Sodain's cheek. But then they started to fight him to give time for the young girl and the one or two that would be escorting her back to the mansion swiftly before there could be a chance for him to follow. As she was dragged off by the ninja escorts. "Once you know the answer to your question if you want to see if you are able to learn control seek the poem 18 pages east from that one and ye shall find the path of safety in learning." Sodain said just standing motionless as the ninja like people attack. At the end as a vehicle pulled up to take her to the mansion they do tackle and pile up on top of Sodain.

Once the escorts and the girl was inside the vehicle and it took off there was a flash of light that shot into the air the pile of bodies knocked back from it as Sodain stood there as if adjusting his armor. And he calmly walked off. the ninja that piled up on him had broken swords and just lay stunned moving on the ground. Sodain bowed to the pulling away car like a true gentleman bows in portraits and the books of that time period that survived. He then stood up turning and walked towards the Renaissance fair area to just walk around and clear his head.

A young male shook his head taking the mouth cover of his head gear off so he could better be understood. "More like he is concerned. Having ordered those 3 to remain even if you went for a walk while reading as you like to do they was under no circumstance to follow you. They disobeyed and he grew concerned for your safety and sent us to find and follow you. Which also we was ordered to remain as shadows and you know from our every once in a while games of tag that is is really hard to sense us or even know we are there.

But something about that man struck me as odd. And brother Kyrin who lead us thought those three for betraying orders and following you. May had the idea of kidnapping you. And the way they hung back when that guy helped you up might had been part of it. That was the reason we reveled ourselves to stop that from happening.

He said he knew we was following you. Knew the number that we started with and that one was missing when we showed ourselves. With all of us as high level stealth masters it bothers me how he knew the number and how he knew we were there. Yet he never let on to it. As if he was ignoring the fact of us being there. Though I did not sense in him malice or fear even when under attack. He just remained calm which is bizarre because anyone else would be less calm under the situation. But the one thing I did sense is that he.... is not human...." The man said showing concern.

"With that poem as you know we have to report what he said and your father will likely confiscate that book to look up what is within as he said." Ryo said which was in a way telling her this would likely be the best chance to get her answers to the riddles of poems which the driver gave a warning look into the rear view mirror. "But no if your father is mad at anyone it is the three that disobeyed him." He said changing the subject.
---------
Sodain just wandered around the fair grounds looking to fit in more with the period actors. Taking a moment to think looking into the sky he sighed leaning against a tree pondering what was going on why he felt drawn to help that girl. closing his eyes as he thought on it he had went through his memories and sighed. "It's like how it was when I first met her. Similar riddles and scenarios but different times." He said pulling an old locket out opening it up inside was a small portrait of Silvia which he stared at then looked up into the tree.

"What does it mean." He said closing the locket and put it away again to get ready to walk off and stopped as three people dressed as knights of olden times just stared at him. Sodain looked to them a moment. "Can I help you?" He asked in his accent seeming a little annoyed at being stared at like that. Unknowing Sodain just happened to have a similar look to one of the renaissance actors and might had been mistaken which could get him into a bit of a problem.

Ryo sighed. "Let her keep it, you for one Kino should know the agony of having questions not allowed to be answered. Would you who detests not being able to find the answers deny her that?" Ryo said eyeing him sternly. "Besides I see no harm in it. And it's not exactly bending the rules for we have not been told beforehand not to let her find answers to questions she might have.

And if we are told this after we get back it still would not be bending the rules because of her writing it down in her notepad was before being told that. And the things that are wrote down before being told that are disqualified from being confiscated because she may already find the answer before we get there and thus would be too late." He said plain as can be and calm as can be which he did have a point.
------
Sodain sighed shaking his head at the men turning to walk off when he was grabbed. "Come on your acts about to start you need to be there or we won't get paid." Sodain just looked to the hand on his arm gripping him growling a bit. "Kindly remove your hand from my personage before you lose it naive. You clearly have me mistaken for another I have no part in this facade that is a remake of the history books. Now if ye doth nay mind I shall be on thy way to where I please." he said his eyes settling coldly upon the one who grabbed him. Another steps forward.

"You can cut the act Robert your not being watched so get out of character and get ready for your part of the act." Another of the three actors said but then Sodain's eyes locked on him flashing which was hard to notice glaring at them Sodain jerked his arm away from the one who grabbed hold of him turning ignoring them just as they ignored what Sodain said.

One drew a fake sword replica walking up behind Sodain swinging it to hit him upside his head as Sodain barely twitched in visible movement as a silvery glint flashed out from him slicing the replica blade in half and Sodain looked over his head a shiny sword in his hand as wind blew moving Sodain's hair and there was a scar down the cheek area that looked kind of like a scale pattern from the scar tissue. "Naves all of you one more step to try to force my hand into your puny act and I will have your heads on a pike." Sodain sneered at them.

The three of them watched blinking as Sodain stood motionless. The guy with the cut sword replica nearly falling on his a** as a man ran up out of breath. "Hey guys sorry I'm late my sister hid part of my outfit because she is still upset she didn't get a part in the show.... What's going on why are you looking at me so shocked... Wait who is that.... Why does he look like me...." The man dressed up in a lesser quality then Sodain's outfit said catching his breath.

Sodain snorted. "As I hath said ye naves mistook me for another. Puny men not understanding truth before their eyes. Disgrace thee departed." Sodain said huffing casting an illusion to make it look like as a strong wind blew his clothing and hair as if he he faded into the wind like smoke though he stood there motionless not making a sound to give those watching an appearance that he might had been a ghost and the wind disrupted his manifestation.

The other man gasped and the three others backed away quickly running away with the other actor not looking back and Sodain smirked deviously turning and walking off into the dark shadows of the woods near by. Finding it humorous how they believed he was a ghost but watched from the shadows as the one man had to contemplate about his broken sword looking at it seeing the fine cut like no weapon anyone had in this day had cut it. A finely honed weapon the only modern weapon able to make such a cut was a laser. But there was none like that in use by Sodain which would have them baffled.
