Veil of Magic & System

Visiting The Garrison

The two pieces seem to be drawn together, as if by an unseen force, and Elias can feel the bond between them growing stronger with each passing moment. As the bonding agent sets, the wood and metal begin to glow with a soft, golden light, and Elias can feel the sword's energy signature shifting, as if it's being rewritten to incorporate the unique properties of the Dragon's Breath Wood.The sword feels alive in Elias's hands, its power and potential waiting to be unleashed.

Alexander, who has been watching in awe, steps forward and takes the sword from Elias, examining it carefully. "By the gods, son, this is truly a masterpiece," he says, his voice filled with admiration. "The bonding agent has done its job, and the wood and metal are now a single, seamless unit.

The resonance between them is strong, and I can feel the sword's energy signature shifting, as if it's being rewritten to incorporate the unique properties of the Dragon's Breath Wood." Alexander hands the sword back to Elias, a look of pride on his face. "You've done it, son. You've created a true work of art, one that will serve you well in battle and beyond."

Elias mentally asks the System to scan and display his Newly Crafted Sword, Elias can feel something off about the sword it seems that his experiment with using the Resonance Focus skill when removing the imperfections of the steel, then when sharpening the blade's edge and when crafting and shaping the Dragon’s Breath wood hilt has made the sword more "magical" in a sense like it almost has magical properties now.

The System responds, "Scanning... Sword: 'Dragon's Breath' Name: 'Resonant Blade'

Note: The sword's magical properties are unstable and may fluctuate depending on the wielder's magical abilities and resonance frequency."

Elias eyes widen slightly at the information displayed about his new blade, he will have to stabilize the blade later, but for now he speaks aloud and up at his father Alexander and thanks his father for teaching him the basics and thst he'll put his 'Resonate Blade' to good use in the future. Elias was just about to ask about a sheath for his blade when he remembered he had the Beastial Armory System and the Dimensional Inventory skill, he focuses on the Resonate blade and then it vanished from his grip, he smiles in satisfaction as he re-summons it in his grip. His father whistles at his storage skill.

Alexander's eyes widen in surprise as he watches his son's sword vanish and reappear at his fingertips. Alexander takes a step back, eyeing the Resonate Blade in Elias's hand. "I think it's time for you to get a proper sheath for that sword, don't you?

One that can withstand the unique properties of the Dragon's Breath Wood and the magical energies it's imbued with." He pauses, thinking for a moment. "I know just the person who can help us with that. Elara Moonwhisper, the village healer, is also an expert in crafting and enchanting

Elias Stores the Resonate Blade back in the Dimensional Inventory then stands up from the workbench and stretches . He turns to his father, while that may be a good idea father I wont bother miss Elara with it for now, I only just left her clinic today. im sure she doesnt want to see me visiting her clinic for some time *chuckle*.

Elias tells his Father that he is going to go talk to the Village Garrison Captain. Elias then asks Alexander if he has any orders that he would like Elias to deliver to the garrison for the village guards, since he is headed that way. Elias asks about the Guard Captains Name as it slipped his mind.

Alexander chuckles at Elias's comment about not wanting to overburden Elara with his visits to her clinic. "Ah, yes, I'm sure she's still a bit worn out from tending to you," he says with a smile.

Alexander's expression turns serious for a moment as he thinks about the Village Garrison Captain. "Ah, yes, the Captain's name is Thorne Blackwood. He's a seasoned veteran and a good man, very dedicated to the safety and well-being of our village. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you, Elias." Alexander pauses, collecting his thoughts. "As for orders, I do have a few things I'd like you to deliver to the garrison.

There's a batch of fresh supplies that were delivered to the village yesterday, and I'd like you to take them to the garrison. They're stored in the east wing of our house, just follow the signs. Also, I'd like you to ask Captain Blackwood about the recent... incidents in the nearby woods. There have been some strange occurrences reported, and I'm not sure what's causing them."

Elias claps his father's shoulders then walks out of the Harrington's Forge and into his home thats practically across from the Forge. think of a cauldesac where the forge is in the center of the village and the homes are around the Forge in the shape of a 'U' and there's large gates that open and close off the village. interesting enough is that Elias's Harrington Family's Neighbors are in fact the Village Chief the Stuart Dwarven man and the Village's resident healer Ms. Elara Moonwhisper. how convenient Elias thought. once inside his house he headed towards the east wing to grab the garrison supplies and headed towards the front of the village, where the Garrison and its Barracks were near the Village's Gate. there were two guards already positioned at the gate and two positioned at the Garrison Entrance.

As Elias approaches the village gate, the guards standing at attention nod at him in recognition. One of them, a burly man with a thick beard, steps forward and greets Elias. "Ah, Elias Harrington! What brings you to the garrison today?" The other guard, a younger man with a look of curiosity, adds, "Are you here to see Captain Blackwood?"

Elias notices that the guards seem to be chatting among themselves, and their conversation is hushed, but he catches a few snippets of what they're saying. "...strange noises in the woods... heard rumors of dark creatures lurking in the shadows... Captain's been looking into it, but so far, nothing's been found..."

Elias responds with a genuine smile and mentions how he would like to both speak with the captain but also has some supplies to be delivered to the Garrison.

The guard who spoke first, the burly man, nods and says, "Ah, yes, the supplies! Captain Blackwood mentioned that we were expecting a delivery from the Harringtons. Let me just check the manifest to make sure everything's accounted for." He rummages through a small ledger and checks off a few items, nodding to himself.

"Yes, everything's here. Thank you, Elias, for bringing them out. We appreciate it." He hands the supplies over to the younger guard, who takes them and begins to inventory the contents. The burly guard turns back to Elias and says, "Now, about seeing Captain Blackwood... would you like to go in and speak with him?"

Elias nods and follows the guard into the garrison, passing through a small courtyard and into a large, wooden building. The guard leads him to a door at the far end of the building, which he knocks on twice before opening it and stepping aside. Elias enters the room, finding himself in a small, dimly lit office. The room is cluttered with papers, maps, and various other items, and a large, wooden desk dominates the center of the room.

Behind the desk sits Captain Thorne Blackwood, a gruff-looking man with a thick beard and a stern expression. He looks up as Elias enters, his eyes narrowing slightly as he takes in the young man's appearance. "Ah, Elias Harrington," he says, his voice gruff but not unfriendly. "What brings you to the garrison today?"
