If there are any magical weapons, we can also mass produce them to adquire more strength in numbers." You interject, wanting to propose some sort of mitigation between the two. And with some brief contemplation, Danaan obliged.
"That much I can do. Gedfriend and the other sage chiefs can teach you plenty of their powerful spells for each of your mages."
"How long should that take? We do not have much time to idle around."
"Currently, our time is dilating to around 5 times slower than the speed of the physical world, so I believe you should have no trouble with time, as it has only been a few minutes since you've entered, according to the ones on the shore."
"Really? So if I spend 5 years here, it will only be like... a year back there?" Isidro counts the numbers on his fingers.
"That's how math works, monkey boy!" Isidro chastises him.
"Seems like our peaceful time will be more than enough to train a few of the guys who are behind in terms of skill." Guts chuckles, already planning his rest while still having plenty of time to train the likes of Isidro into being a fighter of respectable presence.
"Don't be fooled. The instability of Skellig's time flow makes it so the fluctuation can be reversed into the opposite direction depending on the amount of energy placed into it."
"Can't you control it? Some of us could use the time skip..." Serpico asks Danaan.
"Yes, but it would require extinguishing the fauna of the land, I can maintain it's flow for a short amount of time, but time here is like a pendulum, the stronger it is held in place, the farther it will move when released."
"Still, we don't plan on bein' 'ere for long. Even a week here is like, over a month, ain't it? That's more than enough for us to get out with heavy artillery!" Hyde adds, hoping to make the most out of his stay. "Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll go see if the girls are having fun with their flight. Maybe they might even have somethin' for me!"
With the group dispersing into whatever areas they seemed the most interested in, Guts stayed along as Danaan stared at you two, leaving you wondering of The Flower Storm Monarch's true intentions.
"I sense you are not telling us the full picture here, what exactly is your plan?"
"I agree, I've been enough too many mysterious magical creatures to know when they're omitting something. Spill it out, and maybe we won't think you're that much of a coward..."
"The Blood Moon." A short sentence, but enough to make you and Guts jump back in shock. Just what is she planning to do?
"You are aware of the solar eclipse, correct? It is when the God Hand's Red Behelit finally finds a suitable lord of darkness. However, a lunar eclipse is the full moon's powers empowered by the sun. Weakening the creatures of the dark while empowering the benevolent spirits. We are waiting for the next full lunar eclipse to fight them."
