Radiant Slayer

The Cleric huffed and sweated, he swung radiant slayer around his head, balanced on his bare feet against the polished wooden floor, he crouched and executed a neat jump with the sword held in a stabbing motion. feeling amazingly light without his armor which was carefully stacked in the armory next door the cleric continued to train for a few more marcs.

The sight of Radiant Slayer once again in motion reminded him of a recent occasion. Trying to comfort a guild sister very upset over the loss of one of the guilds founders the Cleric had taken her to the memorial garden in the Western Mountain. The cleric was sure he had once visited but recently stumbled across the place again, the statue of Julia there reminded him of his goal and made him realize he had yet to tell the story of the naming of his blade.

It was many many marcs ago and with the advice of many great names echoing in his ears the cleric had reached level 30 and had to choose the weapon that would see him through his next levels of training and the long gathering of materials for his Ultimate Weapon.

Islander had suggested a rapier, Dagobert the lance but the Cleric had long desired the simple and powerful broadsword. It may not be as quick on the attack or as strong on the defense as the others but long practice with his old battle hammer ad strengthened the Clerics arms, shoulders and back muscles.

The blade was also the most expensive of the three but crystal hunting a generous guild mates ensured the clerics purse could afford the broadsword. At this time Krasus the Weapon Tinkerer still sold items to modify weapons but the cleric didn't know which options would be best to use. Sylent One the Oathkeeper, mighty cleric and weapons artist had already offered to help, they arranged to meet in the Dundee Inn to discuss which would be best.

While there the Radiant Goddess Julia descended and even deigned to speak to them both, after smiting the unworthy present she blessed those others with a godly blessing. Sylent and I raced to the Milltown hut where she generously bought and applied a swiftness ointment and sharpening stone before heading of to use the blessings for training. I hurried after her but not before she named the blade 'Radiant Slayer' and handed back into my hands.
