"Ashley???...." Daisy yelled out to him
"Yes..." he replied.
"Can I try some weapons too??...." she asked.
"Sure." he said walking to Daisy, I followed him to see what else Paul has here.
"What's a good weapon I can try???...." She asked as he arrived.
"Hmmmmm what sort of weapons do you like to use???..." he asked.
"Blunt Weapons." She answered him.
"Hmmmmm" Ashley said walking to a large hammer that looked like it requires two hands to hold.
"Try this." He said picking it up with his one robotic arm, his arm letting out a faint sound of mechanisms and gears working harder and handing it to her.
"What is it?.." She asked holding it in her two hands.
"You'll see." He said with a smile.
The instant he released it letting her hold it with both her hands the end of the Hammer ignited with fire, the intensity of the heat causing me and Ashley to take a few steps back but somehow Daisy was unaffected.
"THIS IS AWESOME!!!" She said swinging the hammer side to side the flame remaining strong through the swing.
"Same as the Bows... we also have some that Chill things on impact or Sends out a shock." He said.
"Are there anything for casters?.." Jay asked walking towards us.
"Hmmmm I don't think so...." There are some useful items but.... generally your spells should be adequate enough." Ashley explained.
"None at all?.." He asked.
"Well.... generally because casters are well squishy.. Most try to use equipment to make them more durable." He tried to explain, "But I do have some nifty equipment back at my lab..... But nothing here..." He said.
"Ohh you need to try this one Daisy.. You're going to love it." He said handing her a beautifully made ornate maul made of silver..... With beautiful gold engravings down the handle, on the head a distinctive golden sun on both sides.
"What is it?.." Daisy asked, reaching for the Maul.
"It's some weapon blessed by some God.. I can't remember the name.." He said.
As Daisy placed her hands on the weapon, her tattoo instantaneously lit with a blinding radiant yellow light causing me to shield my eyes. Looking back after my sight recovered I saw Daisy was standing there her Tattoos fully illuminated staring at the back of a large ethereal armoured being.
"What the...." the three of us said staring at the being in awe.
"What is it?.." Daisy asked Ashley turning around to him, and the Etheral being turning with her as if mimicking her actions.
"So this Weapons in the hands of someone who worships and study holy and divine... an avatar will appear to help you in combat." He explain, "Now watch were you swing that weapon... the avatar will also swing its weapon mimicking you.... so don't go swinging it around like a toy." He warned. "Paul said you can also dismiss it with a thought.." He smiled.
"Sadly you guys can't keep these weapons... they are far too valuable to walk around with." He said walking to the other end of the room. "Let's try and find a cool weapon for You Emilia and Jay." He said motioning us to follow. "So.... What sort of melee weapons would you prefer?.." He asked.
"Hmm I'm not actually sure..." I replied.
"Hmmmm.... Maybe a sword?.." He asked.
"Ummmm sure?..." I replied.
"Let's try hmm.... a very plain but almost flawless Rapier." He said handing me a long thin sword.
"What's so special about this one?.." I asked
"Ummm nothing crazy like the hammer Daisy is wielding just a very well-crafted blade." He answered.
Picking it up with one hand it was almost weightless, all along the blade was very fine detailed engravings only visible when reflecting light off the blade. The leather grip was extremely soft and comfortable to hold. Swinging it a few times it cut through the air with little resistance no matter how much force I put into it.
"Careful.... that's a very sharp blade.." Ashley said backing off slightly.
"How is it so weightless?.." I asked.
"It's crafted from Mithril light as a feather, very durable and will never dull." He explained to me.
"So Jay sort of weapon do you think you'd like?.." Ashley asked.
"None really... I'll just rely on my spells." Jay replied to Ashley.
"You should at least have something..." Ashley said looking around, "how about something for utility???..." he asked.
"Sure I guess...." Jay shrugged.
"Alright let try these daggers." he said pulling out a bag with a set of four daggers inside.
"What do they do???..." he said pulling one out inspecting the finely crafted dagger silver dagger, something was faintly inscribed in it all down the handle to the blade.
"Throw it somewhere." Ashley said with a smile.
Jay nodded throwing the dagger at a nearby wall. The sound of clanging metal echoed as the blade bounced off the wall clattering on the ground.
"That's alright..... Knife throwing is an art." Ashley said, "Okay... now call the dagger to return" Ashley instructed.
Holding out a hand the dagger Jay, the daggers magically appeared back into his hands in an instant.
"Not bad huh....??.... Imagine if you needed something to cut ropes
... or if your hands were tied.... useful right...?" Ashley smiled hoping to change Jay's mind.
"I have to admit it's quite handy." My admitted.
"Not only that it can do one for thing." Ashley said, "Throw another dagger somewhere." he instructed Jay.
Jay tossed the dagger at nearby wall again, the dagger handle slamming into the wall sending the dagger clattering to the ground again. "Okay now focus on wanting to appear at the dagger trying to pick it up" Ashley instructed.
In an instant Jay appeared at the dagger kneeling down picking it up. "What the hell." he said picking it up noticing he teleported to the dagger in an instant.
"That is amazing!!!" Grace yelled out to him.
"You're right weapons can be extremely useful." Jay agreed with Ashley.
"Ohhh Ashley we needed your help in something...." I asked.
"Ohhh you do??...." he replied looking confused.
"Yeah.... we wanted to know if you could get some information on a few students for us." I asked.
"hmmmm.... can I ask why???..." he asked looking suspiciously at me.
"We got challenged by a few students and wanted to know if you can get us some information on them...." I asked.
"Hmmm..... I guess I might be able to help...." Ashley agreed.
"If everyone can return the weapons and come to the location I first arrived in ... I'll see what I can do to help." he said to everyone.
Everyone one by one sadly put their weapons back and we all assembled near the entrance of room. "Okay all together now!! We don't want any missing limbs." Ashley warmed us.
"What the?......." The rest of them replied, with a few button presses on his metal arm runes began drawing themselves in a large circle illuminating blue as the runes finished. With a flash we found ourselves in Ashley's labs.
"You can teleport???..." Jay asked.
"Kind of.... I can only do this form of transportation in chosen places where I've setup an anchor point." He smiled walking to his table.
"Table, Five Chairs and Lights." Ashley yelled causing the room to light up and the sound of moving machinery in the distance.
