Hero Of Harmony

As I waited for Master to be done examining it, I thought back to the sensation I felt when I first laid eyes on it, and although I have only been following my instincts, even without my heart guiding me, I could tell this was what I've been searching for.

'Although this is the only Mythical rank artifact I've ever seen, I just know that even compared to other artifacts of the same rank, this one is unique; I can even see slight signs of life emanating from the item.' Thought Alexander in interest as he glanced at the two silver spheres in Lavender's hand.

Once Master finished scrutinizing the item, she frowned with a pondering expression as she handed the two spheres back to me; while I continued to wait for Master to say something.

"You said, Blacksmith Master-Hewg, correct Alexander?" Asked Lavender as she glanced at Alexander.

"Yes; Master-Hewg had apparently crafted these during his accession to Godhood, which probably means they are thousands of years old at the very least." Said Alexander with a nod while intently eyeing the two spheres.

"Besides the basic information nearly everyone has access to, I don't know much about Gods, except for Goddess Eywa; however, I did know quite the experienced blacksmith, and he would tell me legends about the Godsmith Master-Hewg. From what I know, Master-Hewg ascended to Godhood roughly 7,300 years ago, long before I was born." Stated Lavender lightly.

"7,300 years? That's quite a long time for these spheres to have survived without a single blemish on their body; Pulsar must be one amazing metal." Remarked Alexander with a raised eyebrow.

"But of course, there aren't any scratches on the artifact; they were crafted with unalloyed Pulsar, which is more commonly referred to as Divine metal. Gods and Dragons are the only beings capable of damaging Pulsar; no mortal can ever hope to leave even a scratch on them." Said Lavender, her words slightly surprising Alexander.

"Divine metal? I'm assuming that must be quite rare to find down here, where we mortals live." Said Alexander as he began hitting the two spheres against each other.

"Yes, very rare; other than my staff, which only has very minute amounts, I've never encountered an item containing Pulsar, let alone unalloyed Pulsar." Remarked Lavender while nodding as she eyed the two spheres in interest.

"Now that we discovered its origins, do you know what it may do, Alexander? Seeing how you're the only one able to view its true status." Asked Lavender curiously.

"I'm as clueless as you, Master." Replied Alexander with a frown while acting on his impulses.

From what I've discovered while searching through Masters basement, most of the artifacts here require you to inject mana into them, so I figured this one would do the same, though I also knew doing so could be equally dangerous; after all, who knew what this artifact was truly capable of?

'Nothing bad has ever happened from following my heart; let's hope it'll stay that way.' Thought Alexander as he started injecting his mana into the two spheres, causing them to start vibrating.

Seeing how my actions seemed to have activated the item, and I didn't sense any danger from them, I continued to inject my mana into it; though as I did so, their vibrations got more intense to the point where Master noticed, and from the look on her face she didn't seem happy.

"Alexander, what are you doing!?" Exclaimed Lavender in slight anger while eyeing Alexander.

"Um, just turning them on?" Replied Alexander lightly while avoiding eye contact with an angry Lavender.

"I can see that! I want to know why you are doing something so dangerous!? It's a Mythical rank item with unknown abilities! Give them to me!" Stated Lavender in anger and frustration as she forcefully separated the spheres from Alexanders' hands.

Although Master managed to pry the spheres from my hands when she did so, they were no longer absorbing my mana; seeing Master throw the two spheres onto the ground in the distance, I could tell she was about to give me a lecture, though luckily or unluckily something interrupted her.

"I think it's too late for that, Master; I seemed to have fully activated it." Remarked Alexander as he pointed at the floating spheres.

While Master and I intently stared at the floating spheres that had begun to rotate, we watched how they constantly increased in speed; it even got to the point where not even my eyes could tell if they were spinning or not.

"Alexander!" Yelled Lavender angrily; her words sent a chill down his spine.

"I-It's fine, Master. I can't sense any danger from them, so the artifact probably isn't even dangerous." Said Alexander quickly as he attempted to soothe Lavender.

"Not dangerous!? A Blacksmith forged that item, a profession known for crafting various dangerous and deadly weapons!" Exclaimed Lavender in frustration as she hit the back of Alexanders' head.

'I-I didn't think about that.' Thought Alexander while rubbing the back of his head, which was in pain.

Just as I was about to respond, the spinning spheres, which were rotating so fast they'd even created their own vortex, released a glow, causing the small vortex to suddenly turn into a massive one that encompassed the entire room. Feeling myself getting lifted into the air, I covered myself in a coating of wind mana, causing any wind that hit me to disperse, resulting in my falling back to the ground.

"Master, you okay?" Asked Alexander in concern as he quickly stood up, only to see Lavender standing calmly in the hurricane-like winds.

'Haa, Of course, she's fine.' Thought Alexander as he looked at Lavender's legs, encased in stone, keeping her locked to the ground.

With the wind mana still surrounding me, I walked next to Master and silently stood beside her as we eyed the spheres at the cyclone's center.

"Can you stop it, Master?" Asked Alexander with a frown as he felt the cyclone's winds get more vigorous.

"If I could, do you think I'd be standing here?" Replied Lavender harshly as she glared at Alexander.

"No." Said Alexander quietly, feeling awkward about the whole situation.

As time passed, the winds continued to get stronger, to the point where it even started to pick up various artifacts lying on the ground, causing the ceiling to be filled with items flying through the air; thankfully, we weren't near the weapon area; otherwise, that would've been dangerous.

'Hmm, is it just me, or does it seem like the number of items in the sky has remained the same?' Thought Alexander with furrowed brows as he eyed the center of his vortex using [Heroes Gaze].

After activating the skill, no longer were the dense group of artifacts in the center of the vortex hampering my vision; I could now almost perfectly view the two silver spheres at the center, yet what I saw was both shocking and fear-inducing.

'The spheres, they're absorbing all those artifacts!' Thought Alexander in surprise as it quickly turned to fear.

Realizing what those spheres were doing, I could feel myself shiver at what Master would do when she found out, and although I was tempted to look at her to see if she's noticed it yet, I figured it best to play ignorant of the situation.

For the next ten minutes, Master and I silently stood beside each while observing the vortex devouring everything that it came in contact with; it also looked like Master finally realized what was going on, as all the remaining artifacts that hadn't been absorbed were currently in the process of getting devoured.

Once the last single artifact was absorbed, which happened to be the blasphemous blade, the powerful vortex instantly stopped, and the glowing spheres that were floating in the air suddenly shot itself towards me. It was at such a speed that I didn't even react until they both smashed into my body, one slamming into my chest and the other my head; yet, to my confusion, there was no impact; they simply sank into my body.

"What the heck just happened, Master?" Asked Alexander while touching his chest and head in confusion, only to notice Lavender wasn't standing beside him.

"Master, where ar- where am I?" Muttered Alexander with widened eyes as he noticed he was no longer in the storage room.

Looking around, all I noticed was the crystal clear ocean beneath my feet and the beautiful blue sky above me; I called out to Master a few more times, but I got no response, so I gave up and started walking in a random direction.

"For me to suddenly end up in a random place, this must have something to do with those two spheres; I just hope they didn't teleport me somewhere; otherwise, it's going to be difficult to return home." Remarked Alexander with a frown while walking on the seemingly infinite ocean.

"Yes, it was us, Master." Said a lovely mature voice of a woman emanating from all directions.

Suddenly hearing a voice that wasn't Master, I stopped moving and swiftly observed my surroundings in hopes of finding them, yet all I was met with was the ocean and sky.

"There is no point in looking for us, Master; until you say our names, we'll stay invisible." Said a sweet child-like voice of a girl.

'Why do they keep calling me Master? Whatever, I'll think about that later; first, I should figure out where I am.' Thought Alexander as he opened his mouth to speak.

"It seems like this is all, Master; our initial union allowed us to communicate, but our time has come to an end." Said the mature voice calmly.

"Make sure to say our name quickly; otherwise, we won't be able to talk again!" Said the child-like voice in slight disappointment.

"What are you two talking about?" Asked Alexander in confusion as he blinked his eyes, only for him to notice he had returned to the storage room.

'I'm not going crazy, am I?' Thought Alexander, confusedly grabbing his head.
