(...what's this?)

I emerged out of the water with my body and bones feeling sore. everything felt like shit, and that was putting it mildly.

I held the gift that I had received from Day and unwrapped it.

Inside was a small snow globe, a rock, and then a pen. A note that read "Merry Christmas" was also there.

I picked up the pen and uncapped it. It turned into a beautiful black twin blade that felt very comfortable.

I took a couple of swings and it felt like it was cutting through the air itself, which made me shiver at how powerful this weapon could become.

I smiled though when I noticed the name engraved on the hilt of the blade.

pernyx.

I had no idea what that meant though, but I knew it meant something good.

I put the weapon back in its pen form and looked at the snow globe.

[snow globe

your personal dimension that allows you to do whatever you want. Its main purpose is to let you keep your dear friends or family safe.

Inside this dimension the people could do whatever they want, aside from harming each other.]

I put the rock in my pocket and decided to look at it later since it had a weird carving on it.

I grabbed the Merry Christmas note and opened it. In the note, there was a paragraph of information.

"As you may know, the snow globe is your own personal world. Day thought it would be a good idea to let you keep the friends you made along the way.

The twin blade was a gift from my (Night) personality, so have fun with it. It takes the form of a pen and is ready for action. Also, it leaves spoils of war that directly go to me. So use it often ;).

The stone that you put in your pocket is a final gift I'm giving you. This one is more... personal I guess you can say. so enjoy it. Just crush it or break it since it doesn't matter how.

-Night"

I smiled, I guess with Night being in my head a lot she knew my exact moves in advice.

I took out the stone and crushed it in my hands. I felt my powers fighting each other, and that was very painful.

Water vs. shadows.

Eventually, the shadows won, and the water was now calm. My powers were finally getting used to each other and adjusted quite well.

'Warp' I thought.

Immediately I teleported into a shadow. On the bright side, it worked, downside I got thrown into a tree.

I mean it could be worse. I could accidentally teleport into a very beautiful woman whose name is not Night Lap.

And nope this time it was me landing near the firekeeper who looked at me weirdly. but I only have a grin in return.

Okay, so I finally understood now. I could teleport to any shadow that I have in my vision.

The maximum times I could teleport was 4 before I felt like collapsing, to the lack of energy.

I would go on exploring again with Sif and Lucatiel. my two favorite companions.

If there was one thing I could say for sure is that we always laughed at each other's misfortune.

I guess that's what trauma does to people huh?

You know when I saw some horses off in the distance I commented on wanting to ride them. Lucatiel said something about riding me though.

I'll have to figure out what this means, and something about Sif's laughter made me feel weird.

but for now, though we began exploring some more. Honestly, I walked through a wall and it broke under my strength.

With that though, it allowed me access to Huntsman's corpse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I finally beat the fire giant 😁. got carried by some people though I will admit.

And I chose the three gifts because they were all so good and I couldn't decide between them.

The twin blade, a snow globe, and shadow teleportation were all wonderful ideas.
