Chapter 209 (2/2)
”As the king, I need to be visible and inspire everyone . The cloak creates darkness on the side facing me, meaning I will always have a shadow . ”
”I like that part . ” Stella tapped on the breastplate . ”It's not flexible at all . ”
”No . Fortunately I don't breathe, so I don't have to worry about my chest expanding . I used large sections of the other dragon scales to make plates that fit together perfectly . ”
”How perfectly?”
”I had to teleport the pieces together, because they interlock and can't be disa.s.sembled . I literally have to use TELEPORT OBJECT to put it on . ”
”Is this the same energy cloth lining?”
”Yeah . There was a backing of NIKMESH hide here that I used for me too . The accents and outer plating are orihalc.u.m . The cape is more NIKMESH hide, with slivers of rib bones in it to strengthen it before another layer of thicker dragon scales was applied to the outside . The rest of the scales I used on the mech . ”
”So that's why the robot is looking more like a dragon . ”
”Partly . Partly it's my preference . ”
”So you really didn't need to add the wings and tail to the robot?”
”It's a mech, Stella . We ride inside and pilot it . You don't do that with a robot . ”
”Fine, mech . ”
”The tails and wings are a grey area really . I can't say I didn't need to add the wings and tail, at least not in the way you're thinking probably . ”
”That armor looks pretty heavy . ”
”It is but you prize mobility . I teleport, so the restriction is less important . ”
”You should have a helmet . Your head is the most important thing to protect . You could probably just use healing to regrow any body parts that got blown off, except that . ”
”It does have a helmet . ”
”Where?” she asked crossing her arms .
”Here,” he said, pulling it from behind the counter . It was a full face helmet made of white orihalc.u.m that s.h.i.+ned silver with a pale blue tinge .
”What is that made of?” she asked in awe, moving forward for a closer look .
”I told you I had a use for the powdered G.o.d bone . If you consider bone powder to be a type of soil, then I used EARTH TO METAL to transform it into a greyish kind of metal . Then further forging and tempering, and the addition of more bone powder before we quenched it in some of the blood, produced this . It's the only piece unfortunately . My crown was dipped in some of it, and the rest was a thin plate that goes over your heart . ”
”My heart, not my head?” Stella looked at him and raised an eyebrow .
”It's where I put the soul bond tattoo . ”
”Yeah and you said nothing could break it . ”
”Nothing should be able to . But considering I did it while we were outside of time, I don't know what side effects may happen . I've been thinking about it ever since Saisho mentioned the rune master may have made the system, even though he was erased from time . I'm certain the curse from the fey wasn't strong enough to tie our souls together for over 4000 of my lifetimes . It could have been our soul bond . ”

”But you did that in this life after all those others . ”
”Yeah, but when I did it, we weren't in a timeline, any timeline, so I don't know . ”
Stella got very quiet . ”Do you regret it?”
”What!? Of course not! I love you . And the potential for happiness in this life with you, is more than the sorrow in all those shavist ones that came before . ”
Stella grabbed him in a powerful hug . ”I love you so much, Joseph! Sometimes it scares me . I've always been worried you would blame me for those terrible lives you had and that I rejected you when I was Sylva . ”
Joseph hugged her back . He let his love for her flow through their link . He wasn't sure what he was supposed to say, but fortunately that seemed to be enough .
