Return

[Zero]

Silas rematerialized on the planet he had been visiting a few hours earlier. It had taken him a bit to obtain the permission of some low level diplomat to send the VE out to meet up with the Anrufe, and had also taken a great amount of arguing. Finally though logic had won out, but this time Silas had taken an older Narrikian Technology to get to this planet, the Teleport Sphere. The reason for that was because he had also loaded the sphere with a Mini AM Generator and a Mini AAM Generator.  This was so he could show what those were to the people of this planet. Best if they learned from someone not t utterly out to destroy them and eradicate them.  The Anrufe seemed to be out to conquer everyone and for those who would not submit wiped them out of existence.  Silas was not going to let them claim another world if he could help it and had brought a Pocket Dimension Storage unit. It had been loaded with energy blades a fairly useful technology and some solar laser guns as well.  This should raise the defensive level of the planet some should the need arise as far as technology went.  Where he had arrived had been where he had come from.  "Now to wait..."

[The Blade]

Once again Silas would appear outside the massive ring wall of High Valyria, although this time he wouldn't be able to see the actual wall because of a heavy torrential downpour. The rain would be rather warm actually and very heavy, the drops feeling more like hail than actual rain. Even though Silas wouldn't be able to see the wall, the wall would be able to see him and a dragon's roar went up from the ring wall before a large, blue dragon recognizable as Gariz, landed in front of him. "Silas of House Night, it's a pleasure to meet you again, hop aboard and we'll get you to the Queen, no need for waiting around this time." Her giggle went up from the dragon's neck and a long wing extended to the ground to act as a ramp for the non-Valyrian.

[Zero]

Silas needed to see what the people here were capable of in the means of technological and/or weapon development. For without the proper tools protecting themselves against the Anrufe did not seem to be something that most of the people there could do. Granted they had dragons and aerial superiority but some members of the Anrufe possessed an even greater threat than Silas had thought. The files he had managed to gain access to enabled him to learn that most definitely the situation was dire.  So he stepped out of the Teleport Sphere and shrunk it down into what it was meant to be and put it in the pocket dimensional storage backpack he had with him.  "Sent an ally of mine, a Narrikian AI to see if it could find any Anrufe members and bring them here. In the mean time it is best not to waste the time of your queen. So do you have any black smiths? If so, I'd like to test a certain piece of Narrikian Technology against one of the weapons of your planet. " As Silas said this he walked onto the back of the dragon, not caring that he was getting wet from the rain.

[The Blade]

The Valyrian Captain nodded slightly to Silas and then sighed at the heavy rain that didn't want to let up whatsoever. "Gimme a second Silas, need to fix something." She raised her hand, which was glowing gold and then drew a large rune in midair, it only took around a second or two and then it flashed brightly and vanished. "Clear Sight Rune, a rather useless rune most of the time but it's great during rain, fog or blizzard." She smiled and then tapped Gariz on the head, the dragon took flight and angled towards the Queen's Castle. "We have Flamesmiths, I could have you meet one of them if you wish and test against the Valyrian Steel, it's a great material if I do say so myself, my armour and Glacis, my sword, are made of it." She smiled back to him as the dragon soared towards the castle. "I hope you managed to get an Anrufe operative, Viserya says that if you didn't, she was going to send me on one of your Space Dragons to an Anrufe planet and talk to them myself." She shuddered, although Silas wouldn't be able to see it. "I wonder what it'd be like though." She whispered to herself and although she was apprehensive, she was actually hoping to go onto one of these 'Ships'.

[Zero]

Silas groaned and looked at her.  The VE had reported back that it had been unsuccessful in convincing the Anrufe to declare this planet a demilitarized zone. Silas sighed and said to her. "What I sent was unsuccessful. The Anrufe ignored it. So we will have to see if we have another means of reaching for them. Your queen ordered you to go? I'll take you if you want on board a new ship. Of course I have to wait for it to be finished."  As Silas said this he thought about things.

[The Blade]

"Well that's not very good, it would seem the Anrufe don't care all that much but yes, I will go instead. Also, the Queen wants this done as quick as possible, so just give me a 'ship' and send me to an Anrufe planet and I'll talk to them." It would seem that the Valyrian captain was taking the news pretty well as she landed inside the throne room once again although this time the Dragon Queen was stroking her massive silver dragon's head and murmuring to it. She hadn't even noticed that Gariz, Myra and Silas had arrived.

[Zero]

Silas immediately sprang into action pulling out a blue tooth like head set and putting it in his ear and after a few moments of heated chatter in Narrikian up past the upper atmosphere of the planet a corvette arrived that had no soldiers on board but was piloted by VE. The VE it was piloted by were of course series II and more advanced than the normal ones.  Silas looked at the Queen and then knelt and asked her something. "Since the Anrufe don't seem to be too interested, would it be alright if I were to take Myra and her dragon Gariz to one of the Anrufe Worlds to talk to them?" Silas had already called for a ship.

[The Blade]

The Queen seemed almost shocked by the words as she turned around quickly, surprise blooming in her violet eyes. "Myra! What have I told you about circumventing the Rune defenses, you are the only one capable of that and I hate it when you sneak up on me!" The Captain looked rather forlorn as the Queen spoke and bowed her head. "I apologise, Your Grace." The Queen only laughed and waved a dismissal. "Silas! A pleasure to see you again and of course, although you'll have to bring something down to carry Gariz up to the ship, dragons can only go so far from their charges after all but if you can manage that, then feel free." Myra's eyes lit up as the Queen said this and she nodded enthusiastically. "First though, Silas, I suggest you go down to Lirael and get your reward for helping us, Myra will take you there."

[Zero]

Silas nodded and then pulled out another blue tooth, swapping them out for a moment and whispered something in hushed tones on it. What he had whispered was in a dialect of Narrikian the queen could not understand. A somber expression filled his face for a moment. The VE had failed. The Anrufe likely were not going to listen to any sort of reason and that meant that this was the last stop. If they did not declare this planet a DMZ soon it could become a casualty of war just for him having come here. "Carrying Gariz up to the ship won't exactly be a problem. We have ways to do that. And alright, I'll go to Lirael with Myra and claim my reward. Just be warned, I don't expect diplomacy with the Anrufe to work." As Silas said this he exited with Myra and Geriz. But he was nervous about taking the ship to the Anrufe, for obvious reasons.

[The Blade]

"Now then Myra, take Silas to Lirael and get him his reward, make sure that he knows how to use it as well." The Queen walked over and kissed Myra on the cheek before sending her away. The Captain walked past Silas with a bright red face, matching her eyes and a large, blue dragon in tow. "Come then Silas of House Night, I'll take you to the Queen's own Flamesmith and you can receive your choice." She continued walking, saying nothing else as she lead Silas through a long series of corridors that for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he would never remember the path back through to get to the Throne Room.

After around twenty minutes of solid, silent walking, they arrived in a very, very hot room that a fully naked Valyrian worked in, standing in front of a large forge with a molten metal tray before her and a large, black dragon beside her. Myra gave her a wave and a smile, not seeming to care that she was naked. "Lirry, I brought Silas along to get his reward, do you have it ready?" The other girl just nodded and motioned towards the molten metal. "Silas, would you like armour or a weapon and would you like any enchantments?"

[Zero]

Silas considered the words of the person near him. Armor was already being done and really to be honest he did need a new weapon. There might be a reason that she did not wear clothes, but he avoided looking at that instead focusing on the face and not the rest of the body. To him it was considered impolite anyway to focus on such areas. Silas made a decision that he did need a weapon, a sword. "I want a weapon. A sword. One that can be wielded with either hand easily. It should be resistant to other people stealing it from me, and also if you can mimic technology with your modifications to weapons..."  Silas opened a NET window. "Try to duplicate this, a Hyper Space Portal. If you can't, I understand." Silas closed the Net Window and waited.

[The Blade]

Lirael tapped her finger against her chin for a moment and then nodded. "Portal magic, that should be rather easy although you'll have to etch in the co-ordinates of any areas you wish to go to and then tap them to activate the magic. Would you like any others at all?" She crossed her arms over her ample chest and spread her legs slightly, cocking her head to the side as she looked over Silas and got the gist of him. "You seem as though you'd be well suited to a longsword, double edged for better variety in swings. I've never liked those southern, single edged blades." The Valyrian Flamesmith, with bright orange, flame like eyes, looked into Silas' eyes. "Hah, you are trying too hard to keep your eyes on my face, feel free to look, all the girls do anyway." She winked over to Myra who blushed and looked away.

[Zero]

Silas paused for a moment and looked at Lirael and asked her. "So you believe a Long Sword would be better suited for me than my current weapons? As for other alterations to the Long Sword make it to where it can cut things so that they cannot regenerate when they are cut.  Also if possible make it kill anyone besides me who even attempts to wield said blade." Silas had changed the subject to avoid a certain thing he wished to not have be a problem.  Silas then sighed. "Here Myra."  He tossed her the blue tooth. "Push the red button on it when you want to be beamed up to the ship with your dragon."

[The Blade]

"Well you don't look like you'd suit a greatsword or a broadsword because they require technically more than one hand or training to use only one hand. And about the enchantments, the first would be easy, simply a Magic Blocker, it would prevent magical healing but not natural healing but the second would take far too much power for just me." She shrugged and turned around to the molten metal before drawing a series of runes into the liquid and snapping her palm at it. The metal glowed slightly for a moment and then she poured it into a mold and let it set for a moment before drawing a rune and then taking a fully made blade out. "Magic, it makes things so much easier" She whispered and drew a series of runes over the metal and it sharpened into a perfect blade before she attached it to its hilt and tossed it to him. The weapon would be dagger-light and a smokey-grey colour, with ripples of orange running through it. "Name it or else I won't let you keep it"

[Zero]

Silas thought of the names of the weapons he had known. There was one that his mentor had fought with a powerful weapon known as Gaia Shaker which had also been a Long Sword. The name of said weapon could not fit this weapon and so Silas thought of it. The name came to his mind as he reached out and caught the weapon. "Pyrus." The blade when he spoke that word ignited with psionic flame all of the sudden. Silas then put his palm on the blade and psionically carved into it the coordinates without damaging the blade allowing it to teleport or portal him to Memorial should a fight become too dangerous. At last he had a weapon that fitted him perfectly. Still, even with that he could not afford to go soft and let his enemies know he was softening up.  "Thank you for such a fine work Lirael. The weapon will do nicely in my possession."  Silas swung it experimentally and the flames around it faded.

[The Blade]

"Excellent, take good care of the blade or I'll have your head, now off with you, I've got a large quota to fill and not that much magic." Lirael laughed and blew a kiss to Silas before turning back to her work and whistling a merry tune. While Silas and Lirael had been talking, Myra had walked off and away from them both and found Gariz before resting a hand on the dragon's head and pressing the red button on the bluetooth set, sending her and her dragon up into the ship. Gariz would be slightly perturbed by it but not so much and Myra was already casting runes she had recently learned to change the feel of the ship and even its IFF code. It was time to go.

[Zero]

Silas walked to a secluded area and held out the new sword Pyrus in his hands. The sword ignited with psionic flame and Silas spun around releasing dozens of waves of psionic energy in the form of blades of crimson fire like energy to slice all around him. Luckily no one was around to get hurt. What he needed was practice with the blade. The move he had performed Blaze Spin was something new. This technique needed to be recorded so he could use it later on and so he took out a PDA and wrote down the Blaze Spin attack he had developed with his new sword Pyrus. "Time to train."
