"Suit youself. I'll be back in a day or so as soon as I'm done with these. Sweet water and light laughter until then."
Storm sketched a bow and disappered.

--A week and a half later--
Storm walked up a little disheveled and in a black, red and purple shimmery cloak. The main featurette and design of the cloak was huge purple and blood streaked spider, whose legs stretched out to cover her shoulders. In stead of her norm pants and light shift of a shirt, she wore a web like, clinging, flowing long sleeved thing with a pattern to match her cloak and skirt, tied tight to her thin waist with a thick black and crimson belt. On the belt was an open loop near her left thigh where her long sword usually was. Today, it was on the opposite hip. Her long flowing, clinging web like skirt hid her crimson colored slippered feet. Storm made a face at her priestesses outfit and tugged at the edge of her piwafwi.
"Ugh, how I hate wearing these robes."

Kibo, who had returned and disappeared again several times throughout the time Storm was gone, walks around the corner, carrying a rather handsome looking black velvet cloak.
Kibo: I "found" this on a textiles stand down the street. Pretty flashy, no?
He notices Storm, and bows slightly.
Kibo: Welcome back. How's the enchanting going? Finished?

Storm ran a hand down from the top of her head done to her toes. Her robes disappeared and she was once more in her normal clothes. Her sword had switched sides again.
"Much better. And yes, they are done. But, eh, I seemed to have hit a trigger on your swords. One minuet I was carving on runes, the next I was doing it in the middle of some very opinionated ghosts. The runes are just fine; I didn't blotch any of 'em. They just...appeared."
She frowned and perked up again. She slide off her ring again and snapped out the extra dimensional pocket out.
"But, yes, they're done."

Kibo: Good. Thank you again. I hope the spirits didn't cause you any trouble. I forgot there are several runes buried within the metal itself.
He smiles apologetically, and takes his swords back, arranging them so all three crossed one another, before placing several large bags of gold at Storm's feet. He takes out a small knife, with artistic etchings in the side, and holds it gently. He opens his hand, and slides the blade across his palm. He takes the rune-covered stone from his pocket, and rolls it in the small pool of blood that was forming in his palm. He touches the stone to the intersection of all three blades, and immediately, the rock becomes bare, and the swords are once again covered in rune markings, which fade from blood red to an almost invisible gray.
Kibo: There. Thank you again, Storm.
He bows low.

Storm tossed the gold into her pocket.
"I hoped you named those swords. That's the trigger word for them to return. Ah and they do a few other...tricks. Just be holding the hilt and the new gems in them should protect you."

Kibo: Of course I named them! They're named after the three most important people in my life.
He unsheathes the blades on his shoulders, and holds them out in front of him.
Kibo: This one's Farind, and the other's Renji.
He resheathes them, and slowly slides the third blade from his waist.
Kibo: And this one... this one... is named Mary Catherine.
He bows his head low, and stares at the blade. He closes his eyes, and resheathes the blade with a quick flowing movement. Sighing, he opens his eyes again, letting a single teardrop fall to the street.

"I'm sure she was very dear to you. I seem to have chosen the right enchantments, given the names. Mary Catherine is chalk full of defenive spells. Mary'll atoumatically tell you you're oppent's alignment, physical statics, and she's semi sentient. Also, the new dimond in the center of the 'flower' in the hilt will also grant you it's legndary properties. The diamond's physical properties of clarity and hardness have given rise to it being a symbol of power, strength, innocence and incorruptibility, longevity, constancy, and good fortune, with good reason to! The surrounding stones, Black Tourmaline, will protect against dark magic and negitive energy. AKA, any spell or ill will sent against you."

Natasha smiled, removing her key from it's place beneath her bow. She pushed it into the wall next to her. She opened her hatch and began to search through the various things inside.

"Oh and here's your blades back too, Natasha."
Storm handed her a large bulging bag.
"Most are just standard strengthening spells and returns. A few have others. And there are a few entirely new weapons in there, as well."

Kibo: *smiles* Thank you, Storm. This means a lot.
He takes a deep bow, and kisses Storm's hand.

Storm raised an eyebrow.
"Well if this is the reception I'd get every time I enchanted something for someone, by all means, just keep giving me things to enhance!"

Natasha smiled, taking the bag from Storm.
"Thank you."
She reached into her hatch and took out a ruby about the size of her fist and handed it to Storm.

Storm pocket the ruby as well.
"I should warn you about the sword. He's...testy now, to say in the least. And somehow he ended up with an ego."
She looked confused for a moment.
"Don't really know how that one happened. Maybe it has something to do with the other spells on it. Anyway, as much as Mary's defensive, your sword is offensive. The sword has changed as well. It might as well be a different weapon."
Storm pulled the long bladed weapon out of the bag. The sword had a slender, razor-edged, gleaming red blade, its length inscribed with designs of cloaked figures and tall scythes, accentuated by a black blood trough running along its center. She opened her hand enough for Natasha to see the skull-bobbed pommel, with a hilt that appeared like whitened vertebrae. Running from it toward the crosspiece, the hilt was carved to resemble a backbone and rib-cage, and the crosspiece itself resembled a pelvic skeleton, with legs spread out wide and bent back toward the head, so that the wielder's hand fit neatly within the 'bony' boundaries. All of the pommel, hilt and crosspiece were white, like bleached bones—perfectly white, except for the eye sockets of the skull pommel, which seemed like black pits at one moment and flared with red fires the next and the small and large gem set into it.
"Anyone who touches the blade or handle of this sword unprotected must compete with it in a battle of wills. This is a highly difficult task, as the he is immensely strong-minded. If the wielder fails in this task, her soul is consumed by the blade, while the skin and flesh of the skull is also burned away. This ability can be used by the bearer of the sword, but it requires prolonged contact with the enemy, several seconds. Fortunately for you, the new gems set into the hilt can help you with that.
Charon's Claw can be willed by its wielder to leave trails of ash in the air, creating temporary opaque walls to give an edge in battle and also to produce a strange black glow to act as a light in the darkness which renders the wielder invisible to infravision. The sword is also enchanted so that even a small nick or cut will prove eventually fatal, as the wound will fester and eventually poison the victim.
Without defeating the blade in a battle of wills, the only way for the wielder to safely use the item is to cover his or her hand with an enchanted, black, red-stitched, magical gauntlet to protect him or her from the blade's effects. In addition, the gauntlet can detect, absorb and redirect magical energy as well as psionics, so long as the spell's target is the wearer."
Storm pointed at the opaque silvery black bits of rock streaked with dark red.
"That's hematite. It's an opaque mineral with a metallic luster, often black or silvery though having a blood-red streak and showing blood-red when cut in thin slices. Hematite has long been connected to Mars, the red god of war; it's believed that when warriors rubbed their bodies with hematite, they became invulnerable. I don't recommend that. While personally I don't think of any stone as "good" or "bad," hematites are often depicted as the stones that engendered aggression."
She pointed at another, different chip of stone.
"Chalcedony. Historically, chalcedony was sacred to Diana, and connected to victory in arguments and battles, which is one reason it's so frequently in cameos depicting military leaders. According to Melody, it’s also been used "to provide a pathway for receiving thought transmission." I drew on and combined these properties, using chalcedony so it not only carries the victory gene, as it were, but opens pathways where there's resistance."
She pointed at another red mineral.
"Carnelian is known for envy, hatred and rage. It's also been said to deflect psychic attacks. Oh and it's also linked to blood, and energy. The carnelian will constantly be healing you while at the same time helping to grant you clarity and a focused mind needed not to turn into a smoking pile of bones."
((Sorry about the wall of text...I really like Claw and had to figure a way to express it in as few words as possible. This is what came of that. sweatdrop ))
