Barath's Hammer

**Barath's Hammer**, also known as the **Barath Hammer**, is a Prophecy item featured on *The Altered Adventure*. It first appears in the seventh episode of the first volume.

## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

In order to stop a powerful demon from destroying the universe, Witch casts a spell on the creature by using four special items. Each soldier gives out their items; Barath gives his hammer while Elizabeth uses her locket, Witch uses his shield and Voice uses a part of his soul. Once the spell is complete, the Demon is imprisoned within the gates known as the Prophecy. If all four items ever touch the Prophecy, the gates will be opened and the Demon will be free again. ("Origin")

After Barath is executed for murder, hiss body is buried at a magical graveyard, along with his mighty hammer in a chest. At some point, the grave is broken into, presumably in hopes of stealing the hammer. It is unknown what occurred in the crypt, but the hammer stayed in its chest. ("The Grave Robbers", "The King Of Altered")

Volume One

Gizzy goes to the graveyard, and finds Barath`s grave. Digging it up, Gizzy finds the hammer, which is required for the prophecy. Gizzy wants
to dig it up to try find a weapon to protect himself. Once it enters Gizzy's hands, it angers Barath's spirit.

Gizzy goes to the village, where he accidentally shows it to Brayden, who rushes off to tell the others. (“The Grave Robbers”)

Later, Voice betrays Gizzy by handing him over to Ratchet who imprisons him, as well as confiscating the hammer. Gizzy escapes, but doesn't go back and collect his items. It isn't until Brayden asks if he still has it he realizes it's still in Ratchets power. He insists on going back to get it. ("Deception", "The Last Warning")

Voice goes to visit Ratchet, finding the kingdom had been broken into, and the hammer was gone, thinking Ratchet took it and ran. The true thief was Witch and he plans on giving it to Gizzy. (“Higher Rank”)

Volume Two

Witch stumbles across Gizzy's house, and gives him the Barath hammer so Gizzy didn't have to go back to the kingdom to get it. The hammer stays in Gizzy's inventory, as he tries to find the other 3 items. ("A Storm Is Coming")

Volume Three

After obtaining Witch's Shield and Elizabeth's Locket, Gizzy and Divine travel to the Broken Church, with Rascal's guidance, in order to find Voice and ask him to help defeat the Demon by having him open the Prophecy instead of killing him to grab his aura, the last Prophecy item. Voice denies the offer as he's not sure if Gizzy's ready to take on the creature. Suddenly, Witch arrives and pressures Gizzy into killing the Air Guardian, but he refuses to do such a thing. Also, Gizzy relinquishes the three Prophecy items to Voice as he no longer wants to fight the infernal beast and save the universe. Having no other choice, Witch uses magic to injure Divine, triggering Gizzy's split personality. During his monstrous form, he manages to knock out Divine, blind Witch with the commotion, and worst of all, kill Voice. Upon his death, he drops all four Prophecy items, including his aura. Afraid of being accused for murder, Gizzy, along with Divine, exits the church with the four items capable of unleashing the Demon. ("Hear My Voice")

On his way to the Prophecy, Gizzy and his gang, now comprised of Divine, Benji and Ratchet, stop at a mossy stone building to rest for the night. Curious, Gizzy combines the four Prophecy items in a crafting grid, triggering his teleportation to the Spirit World. Meanwhile, Gizzy drops all his items, including the Prophecy items, during the teleportation and are picked up by Divine it is now his duty, along with Ratchet and Benji, to reach the Prophecy while the Chosen One hunts down the King Sword. ("The Spirit World")

Along with the other three items, Witch's shield is unintentionally absorbed by the Prophecy when Inferno pushes Gizzy into the gate, causing the doors to open and free the Demon. ("Demon Slayer")
