>>5371738You see your son looking between the sword and his brother, the confusion clear on his face. He no doubt wanted to hand it over, but something came over him and stopped him. Was this the odd power Chilli noticed? You decide to not take any chances and before either of the boys can react you move. Blitzing forward you dash to Broly's right side, snatching the ancient weapon by the crossguard. He sees you, eyes widening as he tries to pull it back away, but you're too quick and jerk the weapon from his hands. As you do, for a moment you see genuine rage on his face, emerald aura blazing but then he stops, looking even more confused.
"Wh-huh? What was that?" he asks, looking from his hands to the sword, to you, dumbfounded. "Why...?"
"That weapon's dangerous." Chilli says, walking over with a concerned look in his eyes. "I knew I could sense something malicious coming from it.”
“Which is why I want you looking over this thing.” you say, holding the weapon out towards Chilli. From the corner of your eye you see Broly reach out towards the sword, stopping himself short and grabbing his right wrist with his left hand. Chilli hesitates, not eager to take up the sword again. “You and Raven are the only two I could trust this to, but I think you'll be able to really understand it better. Especially with all your crystal magic you use.”
“Very well.” he says after a moment's thought, steeling his resolve and reaching out to grasp the sword. He hesitates at about the spot Broly'd pulled back from him, but you don't move or even react. So after a second's silence reaches out the rest of the way, taking up the blade. Once more it becomes more luminous in his hand, shining with that same pale light. But after a moment the light begins to fade, you releasing the breath you hadn't known you were holding in. “It's strong. But I'll get to this later, right now there are several weeks worth of food for the villagers down there, along with a small fortune in different dragon parts so I should get to work. Will you two be staying long, or are you headed out already?”
Well?
