"Ruby, come take a look - I did it! It's finished!"
Ruby steps out of the amulet, takes her human form and looks at me, standing there with Blitz in my hands. The lightning keeps going up and down the blade, so at times it looks like I'm holding lightning in my hands.
Ruby says "Wow, that sword looks amazing!"
"Thanks! It's called Blitz."
Ruby says "Blitz? Isn't that a pretty simple name? Shouldn't a sword like that have a grander name?"
I reach over, pick up the sheath, sheath Blitz and toss it to Ruby.
"Try to draw the sword."
She tries with all her might, but the sword won't budge, so she throws it at me. I easily unsheathe it and spin it around before re-sheathing it.
Ruby says "What, she doesn't like me because I'm a fire spirit?"
"No, if I'm right, I'll be able to draw it. In fact, I might explode when I die, I'm not sure."
Ruby says "Why?"
"Before I tell you, don't hit!"
Ruby says "That just means you did something stupid that I should hit you for."
"I used fragments of my core to make the sword core."
Ruby says, "What, you basically made the sword using your own soul?"
"Umm, if my core represents my soul, then I guess so. That's why no one but me should be able to use it."
Ruby says, "Why would you do something so risky, that's crazy, I should beat you up for that!"
"I took risks, yes, but to make a sword that can kill a demon the risks were worth it."
Ruby says, "Can it, kill the demon, I mean?"
Ruby says, "Okay, okay, okay, I get it, let's just get this over with."
"Right. Oh yeah, aim high with the fireball, if we burn the remains it'll be pointless."
Ruby says "Got it."
Ruby starts climbing up the pile of rocks and I move to the other side of the room, I move until I can see Ruby behind the ice block. I take one last careful look around to check for anything that might trip me up, then look back to check on Ruby.
When I see she's on top of the pile of rocks I ready my fireball.
Spell. Once the spell is ready, I look at Ruby and see that she has hers.
Ready too, I aim at the top half of the ice block and then nod towards Ruby.
We both throw our fireballs at the ice block. When the flames dissipate, I'm surprised to see that the ice hasn't changed at all.
Ruby yells "What now?"
I salute Ruby and sit down to meditate and take a look around with my inner sight. What I see is a staggering amount of mana swirling inside the ice, no wonder the fireballs had no effect. When I open my eyes, Ruby is sitting across from me.
"There's so much mana in that ice that I don't think anything we can hit it with can scratch it."
Ruby says, "So what do we do?"
"Um, the only thing that comes to mind is that I'm going to have to disenchant the ice."
Ruby says, "Won't that amount of mana kill you?"
"Maybe, if I did it all at once, probably. I need to study it a bit before I do anything."
Ruby says, "I think that's the first smart thing you've said since we first saw that thing."
"Haha. Just protect me while I study this thing."
Ruby says, "Yes, oh wise and mighty master!"
