The Awakening of the Weapon

"Go ahead."

"Yeah." Alice clutched the scythe tightly in her hands and looked at Ern, "I need to get some energy into it, right?"

"Right. Pretend you're using skill and channel the energy. It's easy, you're bound to succeed."

Alice nodded, and her aura shook. Wind currents appeared around her arm, but they disappeared, and suddenly the eye on the scythe blade began to twitch.

The eye opened, and a powerful aura erupted from the scythe.

"Girl? Did you awaken me?" Dormant Stalker asked menacingly. His voice sounded harsh and cruel.

"Yes...!" Alice flinched and answered uncertainly.

"What a coward... and you want me to make contact with you? Is this some kind of joke?! Your energy is not stronger than that of an ant, no, even an ant is more worthy than you!"

The Dormant Stalker was a living weapon, and it was very much like humans. They, too, could talk and think and had their unique character.
