Arrodes will always be Arrodes

"Understood successor, considering his, predisposition, are we considering him as a "Sword god" in this case?" 

"Yeah, that would be for the best." I said with a sigh. "For my own we can consider altering my body's Origin and Element towards "tools". This would also help in the future for my Authorities and my own version of the Unlimited Blade Works magecraft. I'll make a damn workshop out of it, if I can." 

"An interesting idea successor, but an additional idea would be to use the reality marble in conjunction with the Lord's gift." That made me pause in my thoughts of my own deployable version of the hanging gardens of Babylon from the Apocrypha timeline. "A Gift?" Trepidation and excitement leaking into my voice. "Yes, successor. The Lord of Mysteries in the final moments of his time decided that his castle would be no more. But a seed, a start of a new Sephirot would be at your disposal. one to build your own. It is my belief my Lord wished for his successor to create something more personal. While my lord indeed had great love for the Saphira Castle it was not of his own making after all." "So this seed, how would it "grow" parse?" "This seed would need materials and the successor's own power to "bloom" so to speak. With including it into the reality marble it could indeed make it, the reality marble, more physical in nature. This also increases the cost of using such abilities in the future successor." 

"That's a no brainer if I have ever heard one before. We can work to fix a lot of our deficiencies down the line with our makeshift "evolutions". Not to mention the magecraft could be adapted to use different energies at the same time with the "seed" as the baseline as well as the future materials its made of. My main idea you have given me just takes me back to reading about how your Lord used it as a glorified storage at one point and it will pretty much be a pocket dimension inside my soul and body right?" I didn't really mind the situation since the downsides really didn't sound to bad compared to the upsides. Personal world? Potential little garden? Sign me the Hell UP!

"Thank you for this successor. It was one of the reasons I sought that particular universe in you memories when we first met. With our time in the void between worlds I was searching for somewhere to bring us due to the fact you couldn't communicate on a soul level yet. This in part due to the shock of our situation. With this successor you will claim a true throne throughout the multiverse! But these things take time, so we will endeavor to bring up your strength in the meantime." 

"Sooooo, Arrodes, what do you suggest for classifying how strong we are?" "Hmm? Successor, understand you are only just beginning. There seems to be no reason for such, correct?" I had to put my foot down here, I know my spastic brain would be overly curious as to how I would match up later on. "Arrodes, in the future we may end up facing threats to our lives. This can be considered a certainty within just this universe alone. So having what amounts to a threat level system could be considered par for the course. So what do you suggest and maybe we can work some things out." Arrodes decided to sit upon my head with the cloth moving around to mime like it was thinking. "Successor, from what I've seen in your memories and also your tendencies that is "mostly" just you wanting to eventually posture on people. But this idea has merit!" Ending his statement the "arms" posed triumphantly.

"Alright, I'll ignore the bit where you dissed me." "No you won't successor." (tich) "Aaannnyyyyways, what are you thinking?" "Successor, I will dismiss the worst options as far as classifying beings. First one to go must be the DxD devil's system. It is too arbitrary and biased. Far to subjective for our purpose. Level like systems are just not applicable to our situation, even if they are a more accurate setup overall. Last is the bog standard adventurer like systems where it follows a linear progression of metal substances (//IE: copper, iron) while helpful it would not due for us. This is simply because of our future threats. It could be used in our early stages if you will but from my estimations of your powers in the future you would outgrow this by reaching Sequence 5 of any of the three pathways. This being the peak of a mortal not counting magics."

"Ok, thanks for crushing most of my dreams there..." "Anytime successor!" I. Wanna. Hit. It! "So successor, I believe the best course of action would be the lettering system for Heroic spirits. Setting aside any distaste I have for this subject in the first place, the "Saint Graph System" poses a solution by labeling your status and using our extensive knowledge base we can build our own way of detection. Thus with a more proper label for the successor and their own "Saint Graph". But in the end it will only last till you are no longer a mortal by body standards, up to about Sequence 4 or 3 in any one of the Pathways." 

"That's fine, even some of the Heroic spirits were demigods so making it that far and tracking that would be nice." I was beginning to feel more tired now but we needed to soldier on. "Then successor, once we have enough data on the inhabitance of Nirn we can truly classify where you stand with the populace." "Sounds good to me, I'm in no rush to see how bad it would be." "Understandable successor, I wouldn't want the successor to harm themselves in anger." He posed his noodle arms again, I could feel it.

"Ughh, Arrodes, anything else we need to cover?" facepalming while saying so. I was just about done with him. "Only a few more things successor. One of which is talking about how we were perceived in our decent into Nirn. Whilst coming here a few things were talked about between myself and the Gods. By the way some of your information was incorrect based on my slight interactions between them and myself." Fun, the hat spoke to the gods.

"Successor, it is important to know the majority did not see us entering with only that of the [Shadows], [Time], [Winds], [Magic], [Light], [Void] and [Madness/ Order] seemed to pay attention to us. Most do not see us as either a threat or a nuisance of any type. That whom you called Sheogorath seemed to be most exuberant of you but an underlying feeling was also disgusted by us. The Shadow you called Nocturnal felt interested in us and your title that was given by the nature of your being. Kyne was most welcoming of the Heroic spirit, not as much you. The [Light] or Meridia, as you named her, was the most intriguing of reactions as she didn't seem surprised by such a thing as us invading as we did. The [Void] welcomed us. [Magic] was seeking to study us as me moved and [Time] or Akatosh spoke once to me upon our arrival. He said to me a word from the Dovahzul language in your memories, "Drem". So I simply gave the equivalent of a nod to him."

(Sighhhhh) I'm so done with this damn hat now. "Arrodes, can I go to sleep now?" hoping beyond hope at this point. "Just a final question successor. This is due to my time as the mirror, while I may no longer practice that of equivalent exchange of questions I MUST ask one final question."

"Alright fine Arrodes, what is your question?" This damn hat...

"Successor, be reminded that not answering the question is punishable."

(Arrodes, your scaring me here...) 

"Successor, you seemed to like a particular form of "media" in your younger years. Do you believe this may have led to you not being in relationships in the same timeframe and when you grew older? Understand lying is also a punishable offense." 

I inhaled deeply at this stupid hat's question. He even took the time to be in front of me to ask this question. miming the air-quotes around "media". Fuck You Hat.

"I Plead The FIFITH!!!!" Never admit!!!!!

"Then Punishment, successor, it is." he stated with gravitas and the night sky rumbled above. Clouds forming quickly. No time to truly run from this. But I would not! FUCK YOU HAT. And so I raised my tiny middle finger to the sky and kept my eyes wide open. I Swear you will RUE THIS DAY HAT! 

A flash of light the last thing I saw, with a fair amount of pain before I was unconscious.

A/N: If YOU have fun questions Arrodes might want to ask, leave a comment for the future. I'll Take note of the best ones to use. Also hinted at how Azarius' got wrong some parts of the Aedra and Dedra lore and all. This is partially because Elder scrolls lore is crazy on its own without the Altmer fucking shit up and also the different interpretations through the different races. (such as Azura being the head of the pantheon of the Khajiit. Being the goddess of the moons.) So fun stuff. It will be more in depth whenever they come in contact with said Gods. FUN TIMES. We will go more in depth on how magic will work for the Magicka system in a few more chapters. Thanks for reading!
