Weapons

Words have power... but so do weapons. I know, I know, everyone is tired of that stupid fantasy book with the mystical sword, but no, this is not stupid fantasy, and yes, there are kind of mystical swords. I apologize for the the inconvenience.

Anyway, here's a quick summery of all the weapons I know:

THUNDERBIRD'S TALONS:

These two swords are my main weapons, and they actually are the Thunderbird's talons. He gave the swords to me when I became his champion. They look like gold but definitely aren't, because they don't seem heavy to me at all - instead, they seem like extensions of my arm. Swordfighting comes perfectly naturally to me. When I'm angry, the swords might burst into flame.


SKYFYRE: This is Justin's sword, which is the stripe on the back of Ora's Serpent, his god. It's symmetrical, except right next to the handle, where there's a few sharp points. The sword is white but appears blue, because there's a bluish tinge of light around it. Since the Serpent was the offspring of Lightening and Death, it was the godly personification of thunder. Justin, by the way, has electrical powers. So in battle, his sword gets charged with electrical light, and he can shoot thunderbolts at people with it - lightening, right? So the name Skyfyre was appropriate.

MOLLIE'S BOW AND ARROWS: Beside her circlet, her favorite tea cup, her snowflake handkerchief, and the Dark Eye, this bow is one of her most prized possessions. Light blue, engraved with golden Calathic symbols, her bow is a work of art. Even her arrows are cool, every arrow being a real amphithere eye feathers. (they have feathers where our eyelashes are, which are the smallest feathers on their bodies)

VENEZZA'S DRAGON CLAWS: If there's anything Venezza is good at, it's fighting. And she's great with her crossbow, but she's the best at her dragon claws. They're claws she wears over her knuckles, engraved with amphitheres. The tips are terrifyingly sharp. If you haven't seen Venezza go into battle, you haven't been truly afraid. (I know, I know - I stole that line from Percy Jackson. Best books ever.)

SHADOWCASTER'S SCEPTER: I haven't ever touched it. I don't look at this thing directly, much less touch it. The black magic around it is so strong that it's paralyzing. That scepter has does things to people that I don't want to think about. Much like the Shadowcaster's Chamber, this thing can be touched by the Shadowcaster alone. It takes serious skill to fool this thing into thinking you're the Shadowcaster when you're not, like Virginia did - before Avada stole it and found out that she could touch it.

AGATHA'S CHAIN WHIP: Where do you think Avada got the nickname of "Switch?" Even if Agatha wasn't a shape shifter, she'd be a truly formidable enemy. Later, she'll charm it so that even looking at that thing made your fingers bleed. And she's a MASTER at using the thing. I almost think it has a mind of its own. Hmmm...

The picture above is an inaccurate rendering of Justin and myself. First of all, I don't wear skimpy schoolgirl dresses. Second, my hair is red. Third, I have two swords. Fourth, that energy around Justin looks to much like ice. It's electricity. Duh.
