Sah
What is knowledge without wisdom?
Sah's eyes narrowed as he swung his sword at the training dummy, the furrow beneath his brows deepening as it sliced through the cloth and down to the wood beneath. The weapon had served him well for seasons, but against the dragons last year, it had been nearly ineffective.

The Abandoned wasn't sure just what to do. He'd resolved to continuing his training, wondering if the issue was on his end. But it was beginning to dawn on him that perhaps the fault lay in the weapon. Or more specifically, in the balance between him and the sword. Sah had grown more powerful, but his blade had yet to. The sword needed to be enhanced, strengthened and renewed so that it could keep up with its wielder.

Coming to his conclusion, Sah sheathed his blade and walked deeper into the barracks to find Deimos. Upon spotting the man he called out, "Deimos. Do you have a minute?"

Deimos

Deimos hadn’t been at his desk, but amidst the clatter of blades and spears, cutlasses and knives, careening alongside the melee of his fellow guards, soldiers, and warriors. Another game he’d eventually expand upon within the citizens at large, but for the moment, honing and focusing in with the rest of his recruits. Some were nestled together, collected and shield-formed, while the rest waited for particular ambushes, patterns of evasion, ways to escape.

His laughter, and many others, rang out over the sounds as they worked their defenses and rampaged into their means, before another’s voice called amidst the clamor, announcing his name along the bedlam and chaos. Senses heightened, his head turned, glancing to where Sah must’ve been deeply embedded amidst the targets, arching his brow slightly, before nodding, and breaking away from the rooted midst. They’d continue on without him.

“It depends,” he rumbled in return, though with half a smirk etched along the corners of his mouth.

Sah
What is knowledge without wisdom?
Deimos' smirk set Sah on guard and his brow furrowed momentarily before he spoke, "I have a question." He drew his sword and placed it on the table before the two men. The Abandoned ran a finger over the side of the blade with clear affection as he spoke.  "This sword, it's served me incredibly well and I love it. But I think it needs some work to keep up with my magic."

Glancing up he me Deimos' eyes and tilted his head, "How do I do that? I know with normal weapons you can reforge them. But what about magical weapons? Do I have to reforge it in a particular substance or perform some kind of spell?" Sah truly was at a loss about the ways of such weaponry. The sword on the table was his first and only magical weapon. The Abandoned was willing to take on whatever task was needed to give his steel companion the tune-up it deserved.

Deimos

Deimos was familiar with this particular blade – he’d crafted it. His brow arched but he otherwise said nothing at all, listening quietly and silently as Sah spoke, as the clang of metal reverberated against the hollers of the rest of the soldiers. The Sword wondered if he was being insulted in some roundabout way, or if it was merely the truth of the matter: Sah’s magic had overtaken the weapon, which had remained stagnant, as most would if not given proper attention too.

Tilting his head, canine and feline in matching tactics, tendencies, and habits, he presented known options to the hunter. “Gods are capable of upgrading your weapons.” He’d seen Sah amidst the dream with Safrin, somehow loyal to her despite all the years of avoidance; perhaps he hadn’t snagged at opportunities in discussions with the cosmic herald. “I can also improve them.” Not as well as the deities, but certainly to the best of his ability.

Sah
What is knowledge without wisdom?
Sah had no idea that the thought of 'insult' crossing Deimos' mind. It truly was a matter of growth and not a fault at all to the excellent craftmanship. As such, when Deimos confirmed that it was indeed possible to improve his weapon, the younger Abandoned perked up. "Truly? I wasn't sure." Owning and maintaining magical items was still such a new concept for him. And asking for further aid from Safrin for something that wasn't life-or-death hadn't crossed his mind either. The Abandoned was aware that people sought out deities for such things, but he didn't want to be excessive in his requests of her.

As such, the Sword's offer to personally enhance the blade made Sah smile softly, "Would you, please? That would be amazing. I figured you could, but I didn't want to presume anything. Especially since you're the one who created it. Assuming further aid seemed...well" His smile turned mischievous, "We both know how bad that line of thinking is for me."

The Wild Thunder had grown since then, but he still had the tendency to jump to conclusions, his mind always looking for patterns that weren't always present. Sah had improved on mitigating such thoughts and actions, but it was still a work in progress at times.

Deimos

He waited as Sah’s thoughts seemed to percolate, though the direction shifting towards his abilities probably should’ve been expected. “Not going to ask Safrin?” came on an arch of his brow and the subtlest of smirks, intentionally leaving a teasing end upon the notions and contemplations. “Perhaps I should start asking for favors in return too,” was a low rumble, the angle of his snicker remaining.

Gaze flickering down at the blade, and offering nothing on the presumption and assumption conversation, for he’d had more than enough of those parameters with Sah and Talyson both to last a few lifetimes, he didn’t start anything yet. “Was there anything additional you wanted done to it?” As Maeve had requested with her whip, an extension of lashes? As he’d done with his own Invisibility Cloak, honing it for further coverage and veneers?

Sah
What is knowledge without wisdom?
"No. It seems...excessive to go to her for something that isn't life or death." Sah gestured with his hands, trying to find the words. "I just don't want to become the kind of person who uses their Goddess as some kind of means to harvest resources." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "Am I making any sense?" Safrin herself had mentioned how many misused shrines and gods. Sah didn't want to fall down that hole.

The response to Deimos' joke was dead serious. "You absolutely should. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask." The Sword did far too much for others yet rarely asked for aid himself. The Wild Thunder was more than willing to lend a hand at the drop of a hat should his friend request it.


As for his sword, Sah shook his head.  "No. Apart from needing some help bridging the gap between itself and my magic, it's perfect." There was nothing else that needed the blade to do, at least nothing he could think of.

Deimos

The Sword might have disagreed on the assessment of Safrin – mostly because he’d known her longer – and how much she appreciated the notions of loyalty and worship. But not begrudging Sah’s opinion or interpretation, he merely shrugged his shoulders, permitting personal choices to weigh supreme in either regard. “Yes, but I doubt she would see it that way.” In times of peace and repose, would followers flock to her more frequently, or less? Hard to tell when the horizon of tranquility still felt so new and foreign.

Though he didn’t expect his joke to be turned around into other considerations, and for a moment his eyes widened, then shifted downward. He’d long ago set boundaries in only crafting items for his friends, family, and loved ones – especially after the fiasco with Nate. Rarely asking anything of well…anyone, the thought hadn’t really crossed his mind. “Thank you.” Deimos could at least keep the assurance in the back of his mind for the future.

And when there were no additional nuances, the warrior nodded his head. “All right. Give me a moment.” The magic was instantly summoned between the crux and pulse of his veins, pervading through the palms of his hands in gilded contortions, extending towards the blade with power and persistence, determination and steadfast considerations.

Sah
What is knowledge without wisdom?
Sah tilted his head, "You don't think so?" He hummed in thought before adding, "I'll keep that in mind." It was as Deimos internally noted, the hybrid had known the goddess for far longer than he. But perhaps it was because of the Sword's deeper bond that Safrin readily accepted less then dire visits. Sah would have to ask her what she preferred next time he saw her.

Deimos' reaction made Sah smile softly but he made no comment except for a nod of the head. He hoped that the Sword would take the words to heart as his reaction hinted, but only time would tell. Regardless, Sah would be ready to aid his friend whenever it was needed or wanted.

Sah watched Deimos work with wide eyes, scanning the length of the blade as it was further imbued with magic. It was always a treat to see Deimos use his creation magic. The younger Abandoned hoped that he too would one day be capable of such things. He had quite a ways to go before he was crafting his own weapons, however.

When the magic faded, Sah grinned, his eyes bouncing between his weapon and Deimos. "Thank you."

Deimos

A quirk of a smile began again in the corner of his mouth, a shrug to his shoulders nearly forming again. “As long as you are not remiss in your loyalty or devotion,” then the herald probably wouldn’t mind. He couldn’t and wouldn’t speak for her – but by the way he’d heard, seen, and experienced her actions, Safrin struck him as one who enjoyed the thrall of being favored. And by the number of individuals cast about in their shared dream, it seemed she was doing well on the notions.

But then there was only magic and incantations, concentration and power, bursting and looming with golden entanglements and opportunities – power for power, and his brow furrowed as he nettled and needled, until it ultimately became exactly as Sah had requested. A stronger blade, worth its merits all over again.

Wiping his brow with the end of his sleeve, his gaze went back to the Abandoned. “May as well try it out,” motioning his jaw towards the line of targets nearby.

Sah
What is knowledge without wisdom?
Sah let out a huff of laughter, a smirk forming on his lips as well. "That won't be a problem."  He'd sworn himself to Safrin, laid a solemn oath at her feet. There was no going back, not that the Abandoned wishes for such a thing. Given what Deimos was saying, he'd make an effort to see the Goddess sooner rather than later. Maybe to fine-tune the armor she'd crafted him before the war?

With his sword complete, Sah grinned ferally and picked it up. "Oh, I'd love to." He approached one of the targets and fluidly stepped into a fighting stance. With a quick surge, she sliced through the target, down to the wood beneath and then some. He stepped back, letting out a whistle. "Damn."

He glanced back at Deimos, "You outdid yourself." With a small laugh he added, "Again." A single upgrade and the sword's power was both noticeable and significant. It was incredible.

Turning to another target, he channeled his magic, lighting coating the blade. Unlike his recent attempts, this time the metal seemed to hold the element with little trouble. The sword felt more balanced than it had in seasons. Once more, he slashed at the dummy, but this time the crackle of lightning sent smoke into the air. The target itself was gone, turned to ash. And the wood beneath was falling apart, singed at the sides. Perhaps when he fine-tuned the sword in the future, there would be nothing left at all.

Returning to Deimos's side, Sah grinned, "Thank you. It feels fantastic."

Deimos

Deimos arched a brow at the proclamation but said nothing more; for he’d known others who’d said much the same, and didn’t follow through (namely, Sunjata). But the Flood and Thunder were two very different people, so instead, he opted to watch and analyze Sah’s newfound upgrade, and how the blade held up as more power surged through.

Effectively – as it came to pass. Targets simmered and sizzled, smoked and fumed, as fighting parameters surged through, ensuring these effigies wouldn’t be repaired, but become more scraps for nearby fires. At the quick analysis, the small smile formed along his mouth again. “Good.” Satisfied and content, and knowing Sah was with the armament, his Air incantations whipped through, picking up the remnants and portions of the decimated dummies. “You are welcome. Hopefully you find it more suitable now.”

And with that, he turned back towards his other pupils with a wink, leaving the Abandoned to further perusal and study.
