109 Not My Avatar pt3 (2/2)
”I feel it is time for me to get a sword now” continued Draig causing the Emperor to falter a bit but still smile.
”I thought you said you weren't going to ask for those materials again” started the Emperor but Draig shook his head as he interrupted.
”I'm not, I merely ask that you point me in the direction of where I could acquire a good sword” stated Draig causing the Emperor to ease a bit as the man seemed he was becoming fed up.
”I honestly couldn't tell you, the few places that I had known of have long since been replaced and I have not graced those smiths with my presence so I can not attest to their greatness.” explained the Emperor
'Damn, now I am really regretting killing that man from before' thought Draig as he recalled the Rapier at his hip and it's wonderful craftsmanship.
”Though I would suggest trying some of the shadier routes” interrupted the Emperor shocking the Feratu that the man would suggest doing something illegal.
”Don't give me that look, many Deva have died over the years and the material of their blades have become even more scarce since their time. Besides I am sure they wouldn't mind allowing someone else to use it to slay demons” justified the Emperor raising his nose in the air which seemed to cause Draig's eyes to become drawn towards the Emperor's sword.
”Then your sword is one of these grave swords” asked Draig causing the Emperor to stiffen.
”I will give you some money to help you get a sword but don't speak of these things in public again” coughed the Emperor holding the sword close to his waist.
'I suppose that answers that question' thought Draig shaking his head, it seemed that the Old man had secrets hidden behind that gracious exterior.
Draig however knew now that he must read up on the qualities of metals so he could identify a good one when it came time to purchase one.
'So much trouble just for a sword' thought Draig as he continued walking though he felt a wave of exhaustion hit him suddenly and he passed out on the spot.
In that spacious cavern the Woman's finger twirled and chuckled as Draig fell asleep.
”Can't have you preparing too quickly, the fun is about to begin” laughed the woman as she kicked her legs playfully while holding the orb and looking at the Emperor's figure.
”Nothing personal old man, just getting even” spoke the woman switching her view around the world of the Deva until she had a panoramic view of some gigantic eggs along with odd looking petrified parts.
'Soon I will get to watch the most entertaining show of all' laughed the Woman loudly causing the cavern to echo her melodic voice. Though she suddenly felt an odd feeling enter her body as she reached her hand towards the orb to meddle some more causing her to shiver even though she wasn't cold.
