Book 6, Chapter 100 – Modifying Equipment

Cloudhawk had to use the Eye of Tis Most important was to find a way to unify Skycloud and the wastes so they could stand together against the Supre to be difficult and complicated, even Cloudhaasn't confident, but there were others who could help hie of the wastelands Skycloud was under the Cloud God's ive Cloudhawk a lot of breathing room He had to maximize as left – and the best way to do that was his pocket di andEfficiency improvedeffect Even just half athe Green Alliance a handy advantage

Cloudhawk made his way to one section of the pocket die of the day to day, so Cloudhaas left with trying to find out how to er Four Supremes was a ht, he'd come up with tays to i would er That was the foundation To that end Cloudhawk ordered Dawn and others like her with exceptional potential to train in the cube In what little ti as possible

Second: Better, stronger relics Foundational ihten their stopping power by a lot So Cloudhaas faced with a problem, and it wasn't that there were too few relics It was that there were too many

All the recent conflict meant Cloudhawk and his people had seized all sorts of relics What'sin the waste had forced two very different people to work together Relics that were once squirreled away in Skycloud saw increasing use out in the wastelands

Cloudhawk had a slew of tools for himself, but there were limits to what one person could use More didn't necessarilystyle was superior to quantity

For example, in the battle for Skycloud Cloudhawk had snatched up several relics Ashfall, Arbitralux [1], Riftshard… the only one he hadn't taken was Phoenix's Blood of the Phoenix

Cloudhawk separated relics into three categories The first were outfitter relics – the most common, ninety percent of what they had were outfitter relics Next were implantation relics Those were rare but not unheard of Squall's hellion Arm and Selene's Eyes of Time were examples Finally came symbiotics Exceptionally rare, they were also very powerful Cloudhawk's Castigation Fire was symbiotic, as well as the Blood of the Phoenix

Now Cloudhawk's constitution was unique He resonated with relics on a fundamental level and was able to make them a part of himself Theoretically he could turn his own body into the most versatile and destructive weapon ever made

Of course, there were li increased with his mental capacity, but he couldn't afford to be liberal with the ability It would be foolish to absorb every relic he careatest benefits, he chose to assiers

The trick was to use the psychic-empowered fires from his relic to create new, s and even to this day Cloudhawk only had a beginner's knowledge He'd rade relics for his people to use However, he did know a little ether To start, then, the Arbiter's Staff and Ruin

These tere enorether their destructive abilities would be greatly improved, probably more powerful than any other relic in the knoorld

Given hundreds, even thousands of years Cloudhawk e required todiscover that filled him with anxiety It was a clear picture of just how further ahead the Gods were froet wrapped up in these thoughts

With his other hand Cloudhawk releasedflames They slithered over the Arbiter's Staff and slipped inside He discovered its construction and how it could be combined While Cloudhawk didn't kno to make relics of this caliber, his sixth sense meant he heard their resonance clearly It hat allowed hi, tiring days passed Eventually Ruin and the Arbiter's Staff were combined into one! It'd cost Cloudhawk a lot of effort and concentration, but finally the as done

The final product looked very different froinals His Arbiter's Staff was initially a four foot long y What rested in Cloudhawk's hand noas a simple sword

The sword had inherited the Arbiter's Staff material form It was made from metal from hilt to tip and didn't look particularly special Four feet long, the weapon was no wider than three fingers The only detail of note was a geers around it and activated the weapon
