“Like hell.” you reply. “If it is a powerful magical artifact, I should definitely grab it. If nothing else, I'm sure my son Chilli would love to examine it. Let's go.”
“If you insist.” he replies, once more shifting into his aquatic, many-limbed form. “But if something in there kills you, it's not my fault.”
He then picks you up, and cautiously swims through the opening. And once in the room beyond, you see the source of the light. Embedded into what looks like an altar of some sort is a sword radiating with azure light, its golden crossguard and grip pointing up as the blade lights up the room.
“A sword?” you mutter, Aku timidly holding you out ever closer to the weapon. “But why would a sword be sealed away like that?”
“Perhaps it is a cursed artifact, sealed so it cannot unleash its magical power upon the world?” he offers, but seems incinscere to you for some reason. He's AFRAID of this sword, and whatever magical energy is radiating from it. “I think we should just leave it here, and go find your sword. It is a much better weapon after all.”
You're not sure why, but you feel yourself being compelled to pick up the weapon. Its blade, which isn't made of any metal you've ever seen looks familiar, somehow. You can't quite place it, but you're sure you've seen such a material somewhere.
Well? What do you do?
>Fly over in the shield and try to grab onto the weapon's grip to pull it free>Have Aku end his shield, then reach out and try pulling the weapon free with your hands. You have a feeling this weapon and Aku's magic won't mix>Try grabbing the weapon with your telekinesis, but don't grab it directly. Aku may be right, it could be dangerous to even touch but you're not leaving it down here for the Rak'kari to find>Trust Aku, leave it alone for now and seal the door up behind you like you were never here>Telepathically reach out to Raven, and see what she'd recommend doing here in this situation>Other(write in)
