spyro, Cynder and nick entered the room, their faces bandaged, although looking better for having spent the night receiving medical treatment, and took thier seats. nick pulled out the weapons he had acquired aboard the Phoenix- sting, Saba, the long sword and the broken blade _ and set them on the table in front of Stripetail " i acquired these from a shady merchant on the Phoenix> i suspect chong has dealings with smugglers that steal items from across the cosmos, sells them to unsuspecting tourists , and Chong gets a cut of the profits."
Saba floated up off the table and hovered in front of the wizard " Saba the tigersaber, at your service' Stripetail nodded ' Pleasure to meet you , Master Saba. Talking blades like yourself are very rare, and quite valuable. I am Lord Stripetail, as Nick here might have already told you.' he did , indeed. I was hoping that you could help me find my way home. Do you know of the Power Rangers, Or Zordon/ ' those names are not familiar to me ' Stripetail said shaking his head. " there were two guys at the Inglorious Hotel that mentioned something about Power Rangers' scooby said ' They compared us in our armor to them , i think>'
_ Bulk and skull, thats what their names were" Agumon said. " i remember them. one guy was skinny, the other porky' tiger said. " yes i remember them' Stripetail said, before turning to Saba ' master Saba, you will have to stay with Nick for a long time. whoever stole you from your partner ranger, was able to get away pretty cleanly- there's has been no ' missing weapon" reports, at least that we've been informed of, granted the cosmos is a very VERY big place>' I understand. saba nodded flying back to Nick, who showed Sting to him next ' Mertavius swung his sword at me, and I was able to block it with this...
-
You BLOCKED Reartir?' Stripetail started, then looked at the dagger, flipping it over with a move off his paw. " not only did you block it, but theres not a crack, not a nick, on this blade. Reartir, usually shatters into useless splinters any blade it comes into contact with. to survive such contact is extremely rare. This blade was obviously made of extremely strong material and was likely enchanted as well, to redouble its strength.' Mertavius said it was called Sting, and that it was a Elven blade" nick said."theres runes on the sheath here' He said, showing the sheath to the wizard, and Stripetail looked at them " Sting is my name, I am the Spiders bane" stripetail intoned. 'I've never been to MidEarth myself, although I've acquired a number of texts and artifacts over the years from that world and have studied them.. the MidEarth elves, particularly those from Gondolin, were masters of combining sword making and magic, the blades from that city were nigh unbreakable, could glow in the dark- particularly if enemies were near- and remained extremely sharp, even if left in a dusty corner and forgotten for centuries. This blade Nick, could cut and harm Mertavius, if you could land a stroke on him. theres only a scant handful of blades powerful enough to do that in all of existence, another is this rose blade I wear' Stripetail motioned to the sword he wore at his side. " those other blades are also from Midearth" Stripetail looked at the broken blade and made it float in front of him." this one was made by ancient Men. Men of Westernesse, or , as it was more often called, Numenor." " can you repair it?" nick asked."I will need something to bind the pieces together, and a forge hot enough to reforge it. that will be a process requiring no small amount of time, and time is not something we have much of ' Vaalbara will collide with Weynard in less than 7 days, destroying the planet utterly" stripetail said.
