Hero Of Harmony

Chapter 26: Two Makes a Pair

As I waited for Master to be done examining it, I thought back to the sensation I felt when I first laid eyes on it, and although I have only been following my instincts, even without my heart guiding me, I could tell this was what I've been searching for.

'Although this is the only Mythical rank artifact I've ever seen, I just know that even compared to other artifacts of the same rank, this one is unique; I can even see slight signs of life emanating from the item.' Thought Alexander in interest as he glanced at the two silver spheres in Lavender's hand.

Once Master finished scrutinizing the item, she frowned with a pondering expression as she handed the two spheres back to me; while I continued to wait for Master to say something.

"You said, Blacksmith Master-Hewg, correct Alexander?" Asked Lavender as she glanced at Alexander.

"Yes; Master-Hewg had apparently crafted these during his accession to Godhood, which probably means they are thousands of years old at the very least." Said Alexander with a nod while intently eyeing the two spheres.

"Besides the basic information nearly everyone has access to, I don't know much about Gods, except for Goddess Eywa; however, I did know quite the experienced blacksmith, and he would tell me legends about the Godsmith Master-Hewg. From what I know, Master-Hewg ascended to Godhood roughly 7,300 years ago, long before I was born." Stated Lavender lightly.

"7,300 years? That's quite a long time for these spheres to have survived without a single blemish on their body; Pulsar must be one amazing metal." Remarked Alexander with a raised eyebrow.

"But of course, there aren't any scratches on the artifact; they were crafted with unalloyed Pulsar, which is more commonly referred to as Divine metal. Gods and Dragons are the only beings capable of damaging Pulsar; no mortal can ever hope to leave even a scratch on them." Said Lavender, her words slightly surprising Alexander.

"Divine metal? I'm assuming that must be quite rare to find down here, where we mortals live." Said Alexander as he began hitting the two spheres against each other.

"Yes, very rare; other than my staff, which only has very minute amounts, I've never encountered an item containing Pulsar, let alone unalloyed Pulsar." Remarked Lavender while nodding as she eyed the two spheres in interest.

"Now that we discovered its origins, do you know what it may do, Alexander? Seeing how you're the only one able to view its true status." Asked Lavender curiously.

"I'm as clueless as you, Master." Replied Alexander with a frown while acting on his impulses.

From what I've discovered while searching through Masters basement, most of the artifacts here require you to inject mana into them, so I figured this one would do the same, though I also knew doing so could be equally dangerous; after all, who knew what this artifact was truly capable of?

'Nothing bad has ever happened from following my heart; let's hope it'll stay that way.' Thought Alexander as he started injecting his mana into the two spheres, causing them to start vibrating.

Seeing how my actions seemed to have activated the item, and I didn't sense any danger from them, I continued to inject my mana into it; though as I did so, their vibrations got more intense to the point where Master noticed, and from the look on her face she didn't seem happy.

"Alexander, what are you doing!?" Exclaimed Lavender in slight anger while eyeing Alexander.

"Um, just turning them on?" Replied Alexander lightly while avoiding eye contact with an angry Lavender.

"I can see that! I want to know why you are doing something so dangerous!? It's a Mythical rank item with unknown abilities! Give them to me!" Stated Lavender in anger and frustration as she forcefully separated the spheres from Alexanders' hands.
