Chapter 5: The Loom of Scars

After Leaving the Tavern I made my way to my personal forge The Loom of Scars. Going in I'm greeted by a familiar sight. My armor that I based on the assassin's creed armor but black on an armor stand with my chain Scyth's (Dual headed Kusarigama) in front of it covered in dust. Looking at them reminded me of the first time I used them.

Flashback begins 

Walking out of the dungeon with Alise the Captain of the Astraea Familia on my back and surrounded by the rest heavily injured I made my way over to the Infirmary at the entrance of the dungeon that's run by the Dian Cecht Familia so Airmid could heal them.

After I deposited them at the Infirmary I headed over to the guild and informed them of what had happened in the dungeon before heading back to see Hephaestus "I told you Heaphy something felt wrong about the dungeon today"

"Micheal just because something felt wrong doesn't mean you can run head first in the direction of the thing that's giving you a bad feeling" Sighed Heaphy

"Heaphy I felt something was wrong and reacted and luckily I managed to save all my friends that were in danger," I said seriously walking toward my forge

"I'm going to get ready," I said putting on the replica of Assassin's Creed armor made out of black Minotaur Pelt and collecting my Scyths both enchanted for anti-personnel combat scenarios.

"Micheal, why are you changing your armor and weapons?" Asked Tsubaki

"Baki both these weapons and armor are things I made for the off chance I needed them but I hoped I'd never have to use them," I said solemnly

"What do you mean Micheal?" Asked Heaphestus 

"Both the armor and weapon are purposely made for combat against people," I said quietly "No flashy enchantments for cool looks like usual just for ruthless efficiency."

"I see you were ready for something like this weren't you?" Asked Heaphy sadly.

"Yeah once Zeus and Hera were kicked out of the city I expected a period of civil unrest."I said quietly "I just never expected it to get to this point," I said and I walked out of the door towards the base of the Rudra Familia.

Flashback ends

Since the fall of Evilus the armor and weapons have both been retired it was resized to fit Tsubaki by me before I left with hopes she would never have to use them but there for her to use if she needed them. Only for her to use it at a later point during an incident that is now called the Nightmare on the 27th floor.

Sighing quietly I started cleaning up the dust and re-lighting the forges as I got out the materials I wanted to use to make Failure.

Making Failure is me paying homage to the original Pagma's Descendant Grid the only reason I didn't make it earlier is because I didn't have the strength to forge the thing. Heaphy originally laughed at my extravagant idea to use so much Orichalcum to make one sword so, I am going to make some changes to it for example I'm going to be using an alloy of Orichalcum and the Balor's Black Sword.

Melting the Sword and the Orichalcum Ingot's down and fusing them into an alloy.

I poured the liquid into a mold that I had made years ago to form the bone.

Beating the sword and infusing it with my mana while folding the metal forged the bone of the sword.

Once the bone was made I inserted it into the mold for Failure and pored the rest of the alloy in.

Quenching the blade in high-quality Soma Wine I allowed the blade to cool.

After it cooled I wrapped the handle.

Stepping back to admire my work I checked its information.

Failure

Enchantments: Durendal, Unhealing wounds, Weight adjustment, and Drunnken Disorder.

Materials: Balor's sword + Orichalcum + Soma Wine

Description: This blade was made by the current Pagma's Successor to pay his respects to the previous Pagma's descendants. Using the sword of the Moster Rex of the 49th floor personally hunted, Orichalcum personally mined and Wine made by the god of Wine the blade causes wounds to be difficult to heal, making the person cut drunk and allowing the weight of the blade to be adjusted by the user.

"Hmmm first day back and you already forged that monstrosity, Mikey," Said Heaphy from behind me making me jump.

"Heaphy what have I told you about sneaking up on me while I'm forging" I whined placing the sword in her outstretched hands. 

"Hmmm," She said examining the blade "A good blade, made from personally aquired materials, with something made by a God. It might not be your best creation Micheal but it is still one of the greatest blades in Genkai made by a mortal" She said seriously

"I aim to please Heaphy" I drawled

"And you have Micheal. You've done us proud. No matter what you feel for the deeds you have done while protecting Orario, just know that the Familia and I as a whole are proud of you" She said seriously

"Thank you Heaphy" I said quietly exaustion bleeding into my speech.

Walking over to her to give her a hug "Good night" I said as I felt her arms wrap around me, I let the darkness take me.
