Thread: The Weight of the Crown (JellyFish & Greeneyed23)

Hama looked up at Aretha and smiled. Of course dear princess. and if you feel the need to stay quiet i will not force your words but I would appreciate your opinion on what we discuss. Any opinion. His eyes flicked to Siddell. he couldn't know but he likely suspected what was going on. Her brother did keep giving her odd little looks. Kurtis had been practicing magicking away a small coin and now he was ready. aunty Aretha! He showed her the coin then waving his fingers vanished it rather smoothly. He was grinning, his mother smiling and Hama nodded . Before she could say anything Kurtis went to his aunt and reached up to her sleeve and reappeared the coin pretty well. His palming needed work but he was a natural with it. hama coughed and Kurtis looked around. Agatha was standing looking away her chair having vanished to her place. Kurtis jumped. oh! They had both shed their crowns and he was in much more comfortable clothing now. Kurtis took his mother's and aunt's hands and led them to their places. he helped them sit then took his place between them. Hama smiled watching the boy then caught Aretha's eye again and winked. he looked bored now. he still had his knee raised on an empty chest and he held his face with his fist watching everyone. while he waited an arrangement he had made earlier began to develop. A huge human warrior stood behind him silently waiting. He was joined by a very tall female Dark elf, a light elf male, a dwarf male, an truly huge Orc female, and a ruby Amgi that was far bigger than most of his fellows. The other races sent theirs in as well and everyone was questioning why there were blocks of wood, stone, and metal waiting behind them. Hama looked at Patis who looked around, checked with his people, then nodded. Hama stood. my friends. soon the lovely Queen Nila will be supplying us with a perfectly scrumptious dinner. Until then i have prepared a bit of a demonstration. I have brought fellow warriors from each race out to assist me. He pointed at the wooden block and then grabbed it while the Jade Dragon and the chest vanished. he lay the block on two smaller stone blocks at waist level. First i am letting everyone use their preferred weapon..May i borrow someone's sword? No one was willing. Hama sighed. fine. He waved his hand the chest reappeared then pulled out a evil looking high steel sword. At people's looks he shrugged. I asked for a normal blade. Anyway let's begin. Sir? The man nodded and pulled out his sword. he took a moment then swung his blade, burying it in in the wooden by several inches. leave it please. The two elves followed with their light blades which buried themselves to an identical level, nearly splitting the wood. The dwarf's axe got stuck about the same as the human's and the orc's mace just made a heavy dent, while the Amgi's diamond blade left a deep gash but no more. The other races were all about the same. Soon the block was sprouting weapons. Hama nodded and had everyone take back their weapons then turned the block over and let everyone try with his blade. They all did about the same, though the elves were several inches deeper than everyone else. Hama nodded. Impressive my friends. Now I am going to show you something. he set the block to the side and got an untouched block into place. he stood for a moment then unleashed himself slicing the block in half. everyone one of the warriors stared at him in awe. that was Triple black oak! it was a notoriously hard wood that usually took several axes to drop it's trees. Hama merely shrugged. He had the presentation continue. The stones block were naturally stronger, but Hama seemed able to cut anything before him in half. Each time he had them all try with his sword but they could never duplicate his results. The same was true of the metal blocks and finally they were all exhausted. he had them wwait for a bit longer is there any doubt that i am the strongest here? the warriors especially shook their heads. The cleanly sliced blocks spoke of his monumental strength. he nodded and went to the armored dummy and gave it a slash. It not only did nothing the blade crumbled to shrapnel at his feet. after letting everyone stare in awe Hama struck it lightly. 'Rezda have amongst twice the strength of the elves. the high pressure. meaning they are close to myself and my fellows. But this I will tell you. even a a full grown dragon cannot penetrate that armor...and. He closed his eyes for a moment and his head became that of a Dragon as he released a jet of green flame so bright as to be blinding and so hot it made everyonw sweat. When he stopped the armor was unharmed and more importantly so was the dummy. He bowed smirking then went to the weapons case. He took out the sword. First he tried the blade on it's own armor. Didn't even leave a dent. Then he had more blocks brought up. he tossed the sword to the human as he set the wooden block on it's end and indicated a cross slice. near the top please. The man obeyed and a moment later there was a perfect square of wood at his feet. He handed the blade of and the elves did the same thing, as did the dwarves, the Orcs, the Amgi, and the others. These weapons were a marvel. they repeated the performance with the other blocks, and soon there were no more. Hama walked the table showing them the unmarked, undamaged blade that had not even lost a bit of it's edge. He lay the sword before Patis. if you do as i suggest then that sword and those like it will hew our foe to bits before he even realizes it's happened. Hama then sent the warriors to eta while eh sat and the dinner arrived and he tucked in letting the discussion move around him again. he wanted to know what everyone thought. The might of these weapons, of the armor, could not be denied. it would be so very useful... Hama cleared his throat. If any of you are thinking of cutting a side deal or tricking the others, Mt. Drno is currently under the guard of a small but dangerous thunder of Dragons. Everyone nodded as they resumed their meals, a little shaken at his foresight.
