Impowering the phenoix gem with Ael Gelmont's flames

[19:41] "Saga has.... retired.. But that's a discussion for later." he sighed.

It was a small trip, from Osrona to his ship.

"So I'm in the middle of building a weapon." he paused, "Or armor... That's what this is for." he mentioned as a massive hand opened his chest before reaching in to grab a crimson gem.

"Anyways.. This was something that I received from Ethric." he smiled, "For being apart of the top three strongest during my days in the Academy."

Turning around, he raised the gem before the Gelmont.

Instantly they'd feel drawn to the ember, restorative flames of the rejuvenating phoenix laid from within, vibrating with the it's power presence.

"If you could, I'd like it if you could impower this gem with your flames. Imbue it even, seeing as how your flames are the hottest I've seen in all my years."
(Eliphas Aegeus)

[19:42] {Item} You drop Phoenix Ember.
[20:12] "Yeah, it's saddening news- considering she aided me with most projects. Though, I knew a time would come with her departure, someday." He frowned, shaking his head. "I required her hand on the field as well, a Dreamscaper or something I need to combat. Won't be easy without her." He sighed, "But aye, the Lookout will go on."

As Eliphas continued, they entered his ship he could smell the scent of sea and wood, last time he was here was when Lucia had been held. They should have kept her then....

"Right. Armour." He nodded, watching as Eliphas aimed to retrieve a small crimson crystal- much different than the average fire crystal one would find. "Ah yes, I remember you showing me this once, but now a closer look upon it.." He said, giving a nod. Ael took hold of the Gem then, feeling the burning embers within- the power of a phoenix coursing through.

"A powerful conduit, certainly..." He said,peering upon the peculiar gem. "Phoenix fire, trapped within. I wonder how such a thing came to be." He curved an eyebrow. "Most certainly, I will channel my magic through it for you, empower it with my fire."

Ael held the gem tightly within both hands, sparks of ultra-violet flame sparking around his hands as they engulfed in purple fire. Ael focused on his circuitry, aiming to channel it directly forward and through. Fire erupted around his form, controlled and tight as he continued to focus and concentrate on the task Eliphas requested of him.

"This may be a moment.." He advised. He had only just begun.
(Ael Gelmont)
[20:41] "Yeah... It was.. Short..."

Despite the many years that Saga had raised him, tutored him, and drilled it into him about his fighting style. He felt as if there was more to be accomplished from them, their goals were far and wide. Ambitious enough to place anyone else at a stand still, for the majority to stand in awe for what she would create. Everything and more, was from her personal wit and drive.

It was truly sad to see her retire. He could only hope that one day.. She would return.

Waters crashed lightly against the wooden hull, swaying the boat against its motion as the two conversed below deck. The hull of the ship creaked against their steps as the moved about the cabin floors.

"And yes.. That's a project that I'll see to it myself. I'll finish it in her image." he smiled softly, "Can't let all of her hard work go to waste after all."

His head shook his head side to side, "But yes. That's for another time."

After handing the gem to Ael, the Aegeus took a step back to allow the Gelmont space to observe the item for themselves.

"But yes.. I'm not sure where Ethric had received such a gem. But I'm glad that they did. I'm sure that it would work wonders for me. The problem is... what should I use it for."

There were many things that he could use the rare item for. Such would be a amulet, armor, or to place it into a specific holding in his weapon. The options were limitless, but there was only one usage that he would get out of it, and with that. He had to play his cards carefully.

Void-like hues watched as the Gelmont clung tightly to the gem, as ultra-violet flames sparked around their palms. Their flames arose with brilliance, quickly making him reconsider doing this in a wooden ship.

One day he'd opt out for a metal vessel....

Fire continue to erupt from their frame as they funneled their magic into the gem before them.

Sweat grew at Eliphas's brow as he was quickly forced to walk away from the event. The air grew too hot to breathe and being in Ael's flames alone made him feel as if he was going to combust at any moment.

At their call, the Aegeus offered them a thumbs up.

"Keep doing what you have to do." he smiled, bathing in the flames that he could feel from across the hull. "Take all the time you need."

(Eliphas Aegeus)
[21:12] "Yeah..." Saga's departure was sudden, and neither truly understood why in the midst of all the chaos around them that she had left, with projects under work and great effort and time put forth among them to complete it. "Problem was, the Lorem Magus weren't aiding much, even though she assembled them. We need to get the brightest heads together and finish it. Once and for all." A sigh had followed, though it was Saga's wish what could they do now but try to finish what had been started?

Regardless, Eliphas and Ael had plenty of work to do. "Right, we'll get to planning on it when we're free." He grinned.

Fire's continued to burn around Ael- controlled and channeled into the gemstone, he felt it's heat react- the Phoenix's flame. The power of Imbrix. He possessed a feather, blessed by the Primordial God himself, Ael had idea's of what to do with it. Likely a religious amulet of sorts.

"You could have it empower the armor through a core- similar to my own design, with some adjustments." Ael suggested. "Though it wont be made to pump magma lines from an Archon heart, unless we can find you one." He grinned. "Honestly, this can be used in anything. Ring, Armor, blade, amulet, greaves, helmet or shield." Ael figured.

He felt his mana seep into the stone, empowered by years of training and practice. Controlled wings of flame erupted from Ael's back, giving everything he could into empowering the stone. The Ifri's eye burned brighter, noting the Phoenix fire within- his chest on fire from Eos burning mark.

Ael was given enough time to channel his fire finally, the Gem was glowing red and hot, the Phoenix's flame that was once dormant within now brought back to life. Ael empowered it at Eliphas request- the Gemstone now truly a remarkable material for crafting equipment related to a fire magi. Thankfully Eliphas was the perfect candidate.


(Ael Gelmont)
[21:42] No words needed to be said.

The world needed Saga, they were a valuable, irreplaceable magi that would never be forgotten. Sure they were still around, but perhaps. Parenthood is what brought their ambitions to a halt. So it was up to them to see it through to the end, it was for them to create. For them to finish it.

"So I've heard... Most of them were only interested in what Saga had to offer, not the bigger picture I believe..." this only stood for a couple of members, he believed that others had died or simply gave up.

"We'll talk about it later. I'll call a meeting of course, with you at my side obviously." he smiled from across the room, the heat still scorching his skin from this far away. "With Esshar's most brilliant minds working on it. Of course.. Everyone will be handsomely paid, but if it's going to be a thing.. We're going to need all hands on board." he stated.

"It's a good thing that this boat is constantly on water..." he joked as his hues turned an ethereal white. Spiritual energies emerged from his form, covering the entirety of the hull to protect it from combustion.

Eliphas continued to stay at a safe distance as his energies extended across the floor boards. He knew that he wasn't able to completely prevent any damages happening the interior of the ship due to the range of it. But as long as Ael didn't end up blowing them up all sky high, or set everything ablaze to cause a fiery death. He was happy.

"I was thinking of creating a family heirloom. So the options are limitless you know? Something to be passed down for generations to come." he nodded agreeingly. "And yeah, if you had a spare one that would be great."

It could be used as an upgrade, or to create a new entity, it could even be created into a piece of jewelry. Such was a fickle thing to most, but Eliphas believed that it could be necessary if warranted.

Time passed on as Ael continued to empower the gem, strengthen it as the intensity burned away at it's surroundings.

Taking a step back from their might, Eliphas raised his hands outwards. Summoning every ouch of strength he had to protect the ship from being incinerated. It was hard to gauge just how hot their flames were, but if he would had to guess. It was something akin if not stronger than Ifrit themselves. Surely if he wasn't trying his all, nothing would've survived their intensity. Certainly not a wooden hull that rests in saltwater throughout the days.

As the process furthered, Eliphas came near to his breaking point. His magic was being stretched to thin. But moments before he finally gave in, Ael's flames clamed as the gem sparkled to life within their hands.

His breath labored as his hands remained above his head, his chest heaved in and out before he finally collapsed on his rear.

"For fuck sakes Ael…" he gasped, tiling his head backwards to try and gather some air. "Next time we do something like this.. Let's do it somewhere that isn't ontop of water and completely made of wood?" he joked painfully.

"Phew.." his head fell back against the wooden boards below, his entire body riddled with sweat.
(Eliphas Aegeus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:51] "Good idea, something to be remembered by, and for those of your blood to claim." Ael nodded, an heirloom was always a wise move. his own fire's slowly began to dissipate around his form. The ship was hot, extremely so- though thankfully with Eliphas own magic they managed not to burn the ship down. Though Ael too aimed to concentrate his own fire's within- avoiding anything explosive.

"Yes. Outside next time. I was thinking the same thing." He laughed. The stone then was handed back to Eliphas "I hope you have something to contain it."
(Ael Gelmont)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:58] "Of course... I want the Aegeus name to be remembered as eternia's protectors Ael. Not just Esshar's. But something more.."

It was an ambitious dream, but he wanted it nevertheless. He was blessed with several of things, including the people who now surrounded his life. He wanted to do something MORE than others, and this lookout would be exactly that.

Not used for sinister usage or corrupt ideals. But to save Eternia from outerwordly threats, including those who threaten the physical realm, such as the Docro's and Nidaz.

Lazily, Eliphas pulled his knees to his chest before kicking out. Flipping him on his feet, only to stumble a bit after landing.

"Heh.. And yes, most definitely." he laughed alongside Ael.

Extending his hand, he took the gem from Ael and placed it back into his chest with several other belongings.

"Yeah.. I hope so too.." his words were.. slow.

There were several of things he wanted to do, but each one deserved patience and a keen eye before making. He needed to be patient and not rush his belongings.

"Speaking of... Mind showing me what my Aunt had given you? I want to make sure that everything's there."
