- “Fair enough,” Grippa said. “You’ll want a weapon.”
- “Yes,” Seth said.
- “I have the sword of Tregain, former prince of Stormguard Castle,” Grippa said. “It’s a short sword; he used it as a boy. But no edge in our arsenal is as durable or as keen. The blade was created by master smiths with the help of the wizard Egar. It tends to push attention away from itself when unsheathed, and the effect increases with the size of the attacking creature. Also, in great need, and at the price of the blade, with the phrase ‘sharpness begone,’ the blade will become a bolt of lightning. Using the sword that way would leave you with only a hilt. I advise against it, except in greatest need. The keenness of the blade and the distracter component are more valuable.”
- “And you have it?” Seth asked.
- “Hidden, yes, but of course I have it,” Grippa said.
- Seth tried to maintain his calm. He needed to keep a good poker face. “Would a bolt of lightning kill a dragon?”
- “Depends,” Grippa said. “Probably not, under most circumstances. But a dragon would surely notice. And most beings would stand no chance.”
- “The sword will do“ Seth said.
