SELENE EIN 👁 🌙

WEAPONS

They strode into the room.

"wow," the pure white room was filled with different kinds of metal things like weapons on the walls. Though each of them looked destructive they had a special charisma.

"Is this even real?" Ol questioned in a hushed voice.

They were not common swords or knives. All of them were weapons they have never seen, even in games.

Aze extended his hands towards one spear-shaped weapon.

"ouch," he cried out in pain withdrawing his hands.

others looked at him.

"These weapons contain shock" he explained.
"How are we supposed to take them when it contains shock?" Zem doubted.

"Let's ask the lady" they turned around, the lady was nowhere to be seen. They were busy fussing over the weapons that they had failed to notice her absence.

"where is she?" Ein queried.

"better stay away from her, she has such an evil look " Zem voiced what others were thinking.

"Let's just explore and find how to take them ourselves" Aze suggested.

"what if it's like we see in games? We have to level up to get weapons" Ol said.

"as much as anything is possible. I don't think it is like that" Zem contradicted him.

They scattered in different ways to search.

"guys come here" Aze called out

They grouped around at aze. the floor had two foortprints inside a circle.

"Should we step on it?" Zem questioned.

"Would it be dangerous?" Ol doubted.

"Let's just try it. I will go first" Ein moved towards the footprint before anyone could protest.

She aligned her feet similar to the print, they waited for minutes, nothing happened at all.
Ein began to step off from the image

"Good morning Ms.Ein Sara Middlemist. It's been long since a Selene has visited" A voice echoed through the room.

They all looked around shocked, the room was empty except for them. Aze mimicked that it must be some kind of speaker. Ein asked if she should reply.

"Who are you?" Ein finally voiced her question.

A laugh sounded through the room

"I have always been fond of the curiosity of the fawns of Selene"

"I am someone you won't see in your world" she continued.

It was clear she had no intention to introduce herself. When there were no further questions from the four of them she began.

"This room is filled with weapons made by our clan's people for our use, we don't share these with any other clans except those who are in search of guardians, and that too due to the special request of the celestial force. The path to finding the guardian is thorn filled. Each of you will be given two weapons each according to your degree of aura" she explained.

As soon as the voice faded two weapons flew from the stands into Eins' hands. One looked like a heavily carved compact powder tin and the other a long sword embedded with the symbol of the moon. Even though the sword looked heavy it felt lightweight in her hand amd familiar.

She stepped off from the footprints so that others can get their weapons. Others were looking at Eins hand holding the weapon in confusion. Soon she came to know that only she can see her weapons and it was invisible to the others. While she wielded her sword others stared at her like she has gone nuts.

When all four of them were equipped with their weapons.

"What are these and how do we use these weapons?" Zem voiced their confusion.

"the side of all these weapons are carved with their names, once you call the names the weapons will come to life and introduce themselves. These are special Enceladus weapons that only the owner can see and invisible to the others so the enemies are caught off guard on what they are fighting with" the voice explained.

They all examined their weapons, gold printed names were carved onto their side.

"Wow, that's so cool and how do we activate them," Ol asked. They didn't get any reply.

"I think we must stand on the footprints for her to hear us" Aze pointed out.

"How do we activate these?" Zem who was standing on the footprint repeated.

"You just memorize their names and call them when you are in danger and also no kind of prior expertise is needed to use these weapons, your hands work with the weapons magically"
she explained as if she had read their minds.

"That's all you will want to know. please move to the adjacent cubicle where the portal lies waiting for you" she ordered

They began discussing in group.

"Let's just try out summoning the names of the weapons before we go," aze said.

They strode into each corner of the room and called out the names of their weapons.

"NILSA" the name rolled out smoothly from Eins tongue, with it materialized a gorgeous woman in a red gown adorned with a golden crown on her head and the sword in her hand.

"Helo Ein, I am Nilsa the sword. Like my name, I swear to defend and protect you with all my might. I am named Nilsa because never have I once failed, always the champion. Just wield me with your hands and I will destroy all the dangers from your path. The metal of this sword is not seen on your planet. Your mother was the last person to hold me from the Selene clan. I can burn the enemies in one hit. Call out my name when you are in danger and I will protect you" the women disappeared along with the sword.

That's why the sword seems familiar to her, it was the one her mother was holding in the dream. She took out the compact powder tin weapon and examined its side

"TAKARA" she mumbled

The compact tin opened and out from it came four globs of glass each glowing with different colors of fire. A Japanese lady in their traditional red kimono and a matching umbrella came out.

"You must be my new owner Ein. I am Takara, the treasure of the heavens. The four glass orbs are of four different aurae, the lavender one contains the sleep aura, which puts your enemy into a deep slumber forever.
The mint one has the hypnotizing aura, the enemy will do whatever you tell them. The black one sucks the enemy's souls into the orb and stores them. The last vermillion one creates an unbreakable shield of bubble around you and no one can harm you in it. Use each one wisely, the orbs replenish itself continuously when one is used. Call my name and I am at your service" puff that lady and the weapon vanished.

She looked around, all three of them were looking dazed as she was. It was a dreamland.

"Uttara and Thandie" ol mumbled out aloud waking the others from their reverie.

"What are your weapons named?" he questioned.

"Nilsa and Takara" Ein replied

"Sahar and Verena" Zem said

"Octavia and Min," Aze said

"Wow, the weapons are diverse in culture," Ol said.
Others looked at him confused.

"Look at them Uttara is Indian, Thandie- African, Nilsa- danish, Takara- Japanese, Sahar - Arabic, Verena- Spanish, Octavia-Latin, Min- Korean" Ol explained.

They all looked at him in awe. It is diverse indeed and beautifully nomenclatured with the finest meanings.

"Let's just move to the next room, we have already wasted a lot of time" Zem ordered.

They moved out from the weapon room into the next room

The center of the room had the portal in it. The blue colour portal was swirling around sucking in whatever gets close to it. Its border was decorated by the different phases of the moon. A blue light was emitting from the portal. They looked at each other for support, held hands, and stepped into the portal.
