Westfall followed Dovaa down a winding path and into a large cave.
The cave was dimly lit and the path continued downwards, deeper and deeper underground. Westfall gazed around, slightly hesitant, but Dovaa seemed to know exactly where she was going.
They continued to walk for what seemed like ages, until Dovaa stopped at the end of the path, that ended in a cliff. Below, there were two floating islands, the farthest one had a triangle-shaped box hovering over it.
"I can go no further," Dovaa said, "when you reach the prism, it will give you what you need."
"I...I don't understand," Westfall stammered.
"The one who wields the blade, will be able to control my brother."
Still slightly confused, but not wanting to ask Dovaa again, Westfall leaped off the cliff and on two the first island. The island rumbled under his feet and started to move towards the prism.
Westfall stepped onto the second island and approached the prism, that was glowing an eerie blue.
As soon as he touched it, it cracked, and burst open into a million tiny peices-that remained floating in the air- revealing a metal rod with gold twisted around it.
Westfall reached forward and grabbed it. The gold around the rod twisted up around his wrist, a blue mist swirling around the rod, transforming it into the beautiful hilt of a sword.
The blue mist joined with the gold, twisting and merging to form the long, shiny blade. This sword wasn't like anything Westfall had ever used. It was pure beauty.
As he held it in his hand, he looked up at Dovaa questioningly.
Looking down at him, she nodded in approval.
