Dark Sorcerer and the Blade of Light
Chapter 15
The Exalted Sword
"The Polonians." Raguna mumbled, "You're the ones that can help me fix the Sword of Oracles!"
"Yes." the Grand Master told him, "We can fix it for you. But have you learned your lesson?"
"What?" Raguna asked, quite confused,
"You cannot go on alone." one of the councilmen spoke, "The test of the Reflection is supposed to show you that."
"If you can't defeat yourself, you need others that can help you do so." another councilman added, "It takes friends to defeat your inner demons."
"Those that mean." Raguna turned to Mist, "Mist..."
"Raguna..." Mist responded, "I told you I will be with you."
"The Hero of the Runes needs a companion." the Grand Master spoke, "Lest he falls to his own evil side..."
"It was destiny..." Raguna thought to himself as he looked at his palm, "Mist!" he cried out, "There's a reason I've been putting you down! I don't want to see you get hurt! I can't find any reason behind this other than... Than... I have... special feelings for you..."
"Raguna." Mist gasped,
"Mist..." Raguna said, "We were destined to be together! Ever since we first met back in Kardia!" he recollected that event, "I can't see myself with someone else... You saved my life twice." he chuckled, "I guess that means something, no?"
"I can't see myself with someone else, too." Mist held his hand, and the two started to glow.
"AH!" Raguna said in shock as he felt a huge power flow through him,
The Power of the Hero of the Runes has been fully awakened!
"Now..." the Grand Master told him, "Give me the Sword of Oracles.."

"Stop!" Aquaticus said, "I think we wiped them out!"
"You think!?" Ventuswill yelled, seeing the Pass was nothing more than a pile of rubble,
"The Sorcerer has been vanquished." Terrable grumbled, "We have to reunite with Raguna at the Council Temple."
"Very well." Fiersome, and the four flew with the allies towards the ruined pyramid.
00000000
"They only think they have destroyed me..." the Dark Sorcerer chuckled as he ascended the steps of the Sealed Palace, "But trickery always wins the day!" he laughed, "Come on!" he told his force, and they all raced to the top.
00000000
Raguna watched as the Sword of Oracles was carried off by the Grand Master,
"Daedalus!" the Grand Master called out, and the ghost of what seemed to be a smithy appeared, "Forge this to the best of Polonian technology!"
"Will do, sir!" Daedalus saluted, and threw the sword inside the nearby furnace.
The fire inside the furnace roared in heat and strength,
"Hrmph!" Daedalus pulled out the molten blade,
KLING! KLING! KLING! He pounded it with a hammer,
"Oh my.." the smithy muttered, "Do we have any Polonian steel!?"
"No..." the Grand Master grumbled, "All the ore was destroyed..."
"I thought Polonian steel was indestructible." Cinnamon said as the group walked in,
"Hey!" Mist greeted them,
"Well..." the Grand Master muttered, "The forged metal is, but the ore is as brittle as copper."
"Ah ha!" a councilman said as he opened a chest, revealing a dusty sword, "A Polonian blade!"
"That will do!" Daedalus said and used his ghost powers to make it hover towards his hand, "Hrmph!" he threw the sword into the hot furnace.
"What are they doing?" Iris asked,
"We are making the Sword of Oracles stronger than ever!" the Grand Master said, "The metal the Oracles used plus the Polonian steel should make the blade indestructible!"
"Ah ha!" Daedalus pulled out the molten Polonian sword, "Hrah!" he used magic to fuse the two together.
"Daedalus is the best smithy in the history of the Polonians." one of the councilmen spoke,
KLING! KLING! Daedalus forged the new sword, then dipped it in water.
"IT IS COMPLETE!" he said in pride,
"Now..." the Grand Master stood, along with all the councilmen, "We give it the magic strength of the Polonians!" he yelled, and a huge white beam shone on the sword.
"Woah.." Raguna muttered as he went to grab it, seeing it was an entirely different weapon.
"That is no longer the Sword of Oracles." the Grand Master said, "It has been infused with the sacred magic of Light... Making it able to repel all sorts of dark magic! Behold! The Sword of Light!" he cheered.
Raguna held the sword up as he felt the power course through it,
"If only we could return the power of foresight to it." the Grand Master sighed, "It still houses the Oracle Blade..."
"Maybe we can!" Raguna said, "Sharron!" he turned to the Oracle, "Is there something you can do about that?"
"I'll try.." Sharron said as she held the sword, "Ah..." she mumbled, "Hmm..." she hummed.
The jewel in the hilt started to glow,
"I see it!" Sharron said, "The voices of my ancestors call to me!" she smiled, then started to chant in an ancient tongue.
"What in the world?" Camus muttered, quite creeped out by the act,
"HA!" Sharron yelled, and the jewel started to shine brightly, "There!" she handed the sword back to Raguna.
"Woah!" Raguna said as he was impacted by a magic force, then in a small vision, could see a stone figure fall from the wall.
KRAKAKA! The pyramid shook, and surely enough, one of the stone statues collapsed,
"HA!" Raguna said, expecting the event, "Woah.." he mumbled, "Did I just see that before it happened!?"
"That's foresight." the Grand Master said, "You could see events minutes before they happened... Far better than decades or centuries."
"Ha ha!" Raguna laughed as he looked at his sword, "This is awesome!" he held it up.
You have the Blade of Light! This extremely powerful blade is indestructible and holds the Sword of Oracle's powers of Foresight!
"What was that tremor, though?" Mei asked, quite worried by the quake that hit them not too long ago.
"Guys!" Ventuswill called from outside, "We have a problem!"
