The Heavensword's Solution

One way or another, the threat of the Heavensword had to be addressed one way or another.

While many Larkinsons were grateful that it had shown Dise the way to trigger her second apotheosis, the clan would still suffer a severe loss if Ketis lost her swordsmanship and her passion in her craft in the process!

Perhaps other people might argue that red humanity needed a sword saint in control of a recharged Heavensword far more than a weak Journeyman Mech Designer and swordmaster combination, but Ketis did not ascribe to this idea!

Now that the Heavensword had revealed a small measure of its mysterious history by unveiling realistic energy projections of the sword cultivators who may have wielded the grand work in the past, Ketis had gained a little more insight into the weapon.

The Heavensword likely served as an artifact that was passed down from one generation to another through an existing formal inheritance process.
