He rubs the side of his mustache. “The primary focus should be on exerting a positive will, one that does not shy away from the kind of power that the sword possesses, but also is able to refuse its influence. I would recommend spending some time out of your day and making it routine, to assert this positive energy. Consider it like forging metal, heating it and then treating it so it is hard but not brittle. If you try to force this, it can make your own mind brittle, giving it room for the sword to take hold. But if you show you will not yield to it, the sword will show less and less ability to influence you, and your will shall assert itself over the demon’s inside.” He taps his chin contemplatively. “A chant may be helpful in this, steeling your mind as you repeat it. Something that wards off evil.”
You ponder that, thinking of a few phrases and chants and even spells you’ve heard. “Hmm… that might work. Oh, er… one last thing. You mentioned mom’s sword. Is… it okay?”
Melchior smiles proudly. “One moment, my boy.” He moves into his little home, and after a beat, comes out with a long object wrapped in a silky cloth. He hands it to you, telling you, “Why don’t you see for yourself? It took quite some time to really understand the magic that Dabura is capable of in turning things to stone, but I managed to figure it out eventually. More importantly, I’d say this is some of my finest work yet… even if it used up some Nemurian ores and Dreamstone in the process.”
You slowly unravel the cloth around it, and… there it is. Good as new, if not even better. Thunderous Rainbow. Mom’s sword. You bow your head respectfully. “Thank you, sir. I’ll make sure this gets back to her as soon as possible.”
“I know you will. Thank you for stopping by, Gohan.”
