The white light surrounding the katana looked like a glowing cocoon, with every passing second the cocoon of light shrunk, and soon it became even smaller than the blade, yet the blade didn't poke out.
As it continued to shrink Lirian stood by calmly until the cocoon of light shrunk to the size of a ball that one would enjoy kicking around, yet the blade was completely unseen.
Lirian took a deep breath and began to channel the energy around him as he heard the sound of liquid inside the cocoon of light.
The sword had completely changed form, its not that it melted, but that it was being reconstructed by fate.
The students watched from the distance in awe as Lirian's entire body flowed as he bent the energy in a way they had never seen before, stands of silver spiralled around the cocoon like treads of silk and every time a thread struck the glowing ball, they could hear liquid move.
