10 Waterflame sword

After purchasing the Bluefire technique, Long He returned to his palace in order to relieve the hearts of his parents. He had been gone for days now, and they should be worried.

Yi'er hugged him tightly and said, "He'er, why did you stay that long on the beach? Is something bothering you?"

"Mom," Long He said, "Everything bothers me. The attack that I suffered changed me."

"Were you trying to get more powerful at the spot?" asked his father, Shen He. He narrowed his eyes and waited for Long He's answer.

"Well.... Yeah. I need more power in order to at least defend myself against Ilah. And I also need to find a way to protect you from other gods."

"Who would dare to attack us while we are only mortals? Are we a threat to anyone?"

"Father, each one of these gods has a mind of a cat, they couldn't be trusted. Uion and Bephine.... Mybe I trust them a little, since they saved me from Sabertooth's claws. But in overall, I don't trust anyone."

"Will they try to kill us?" asked Yi'er in concern.

"Of course they will try to kill you. That is one of the many ways that can let them have me."

"Oh."

He stayed there for some days, chatting and talking, and spending time with his parents. Long He cultivated in nights, and discovered the miracles of the Bluefire technique.

After  a week passed, Long He returned to the beach. He stared at the horizon and wondered about many things.

"System," Long He said in his head, "How can I make a weapon?"

Ding.

[Host, you chose to cultivate both elements of water and fire, due to the nature of the planet. You should join water and fire with the metal of Aquahelios.]

"What weapon should I make?"

[Right now, it will be impossible to know. The weapon represents your personality, so we will be able to know only after the making of it.]

Long He nodded and raised his hand, making it facing the ground. He grasped, and out of nowhere, a chunk of silver metal appeared from within the sand.

Long He picked it up and lit a fire circle, with him being the center. He made movements with his hands, and instantly, the sea water began to rise. One drop after the other started to drop out of the sky.

The water from both sea and rain landed in the circle and filled the space between Long He and the fire.

However, the fire didn't burn out. The water slowly merged with the fire, creating a blue flame. The two elements started to form a tornado, which soared the heavens; and as the the night fell, it created a beautiful scene to the eye.

.....

On the hovering island, and at the highest tower of the palace, Long He's parents, Shen He and Yi'er, stood at the edge of the balcony They watched their son, who was bathed with flames and waves. A magenta aura surrounded him, giving a holy air.

At another corner of the palace the two guards which Uion and Bephine brought, a male and a female, watched in amazement as the tornado rose.

The girls was a pretty young woman, with black hair, and deep blue eyes. As for the man, he was also young, with his eyes showing craziness.

The girl sighed at the scene and said, "If I was only to see how master Uion made his trident, I would have no regrets for this life even if I was to die at this moment."

The male nodded, but his eyes didn't shift from that epic scene in front of him. A gentle smile appeared on his face, but he chose to stay silent and enjoy the view.

In the forest, Imrahil, Athalia amd their children, Qerus and Ora, watched their god and worshiped him in non-stop, thanking him for showing them such a miracle.

However, they weren't the only ones. Aster, Bellavia and Iona, their daughter, said as they worshiped, "Hail god He!" They repeated again and again, hailing from within the depths of their hearts, as did the Fire race.

.....

Back on the beach, Long He continued his hand movements, and the tornado started to withdraw to the chunk of metal.

As the blue fire was collected in the metal, the latter started to melt into weapon form, taking the shape of a sword. A blinding white glow filled the Island of Creation, and when it died down, there he saw the weapon.

Out of the blue fire, a  crimson and heated long sword hovered in front of Long He's hands. After it cooled down, he picked the newly forged, now silver, sword and examined it. It had a magenta colored crystal under the hilt, which indicates that the sword can be used for both water and fire elements.

The sword glowed with blue fire aura. Long He's eyes had a satisfactory glow in them, he was extremely pleased with this sword. He raised the sword up in the sky and said, "I shall call it the Waterflame sword."

While Long He tested his new weapon with a few stances, the two protectors approached and knelt in front of him. The male took a deep breath and said, "God He, my name is Khasdon, a demigod of vengeance. I am a servant under goddess Bephine's command, who sent me here to protect you."

"God He," said the female, "My name is Iaris, a demigoddess of sea, a servant of god Uion, who sent me here for the same purpose."

Long He looked at his protectors for a moment and then said, "Rise, both of you. I am grateful for both gods and to you for helping me protect my planet.

"It is a pleasure to meet you two, Khasdon and Iaris."

"The pleasure is ours, god. The art that you have just made was enough for us to admire you."

"We hope that you will achieve great things in your life, and reach high levels of power," said Khasdon.

Long He and the two demigods talked on the beach for sometime, then returned to the hovering island.

.....

On planet Ulliea, Uion sat beside a round table, taking a sip of wine from his cup. He faced a black cloaked man, who had his face hidden by an illusion.

"Keep an eye on the kid for me, will you?" said the man, it sounded more of a growl than a normal man's voice.

"I will, brother, " said Uion to the mysterious man. "And you keep an eye on what happens on planet Earth. God He and his planet, Aquahelios, are to be protected. The matter you spoke of is grave, and we shall take it seriously."

"Yes," replied the man, "What you have just said was true. It was clear to me back then, and now I am more sure of the person."

Uion nodded but stayed silent, drinking his cup slowly.
