Goddess of the Wind

Brea hid her face behind both hands. She giggled softly and shook her head. “I mean, I know that was your bonding, Siobhan, but I felt it. It was…”

“Amazing,” Astra said for her. “A little like a night with Rin, if I’m being honest.”

Brea let out a squeal and ducked down even lower. “Astra!” she chastised, unable to meet anyone’s gaze.

I rubbed Brea’s back. “No worries, Brea. I think we all felt it. But what about you, Siobhan? How are you feeling?”

The avian sat opposite Brea, her long legs folded beneath her. “I feel alive. My core is awake, Rin. I can’t believe I lived my whole life without this!”

Minh, kneeling beside Siobhan, leaned over and kissed the avian on the cheek. “We are happy for you. Now you can lend your full strength in protecting our Rin.”

The blue-skinned woman smiled at me and winked. “I’m going to go to sleep again. This was a lot of fun, but I have used up a lot of energy lately. Goodnight, guys!”

Everyone said goodnight in return, and Minh burst into light, collapsing back into coin form.

I reached over and picked up the coin. Putting her in my pocket, I laughed as I realized she was already passed out.

Then I stood and asked one of the two questions I couldn’t hold back.

“So, I know everyone has skills to show off, especially Siobhan, but can I show you guys my Spiritarm?”

“Don’t even ask!” Astra replied with a wave. “We love looking at your big hammer.”

“Always with the jokes,” I said with a grin. “Well, here goes nothing. Chasing Hammer!”

The hammer appeared from thin air, filling my grip. In the darkness, the bright Spiritarm seemed even brighter, yet it was the quality of that light that surprised me.

It had taken on a nearly pure white color.

Glowing like something solid and tangible, the Spiritarm had grown in density.

“Same size,” Brea commented absently. “Not that that’s a bad thing.”

I shrugged, noting the woman was correct. A five-foot single-handed hammer was absurdly big enough. As I gave it a few practice swings, however, I could feel it had become more deadly.

“It is heavier, though,” I said. “Feels like I could blast apart a boulder with it now.” I dismissed the hammer and sat back down. “I don’t want to make this all about me, but I should augment my core soon.”

“Of course!” Siobhan said, scooching closer. “Have you thought which runes for choosing?”

The woman’s enthusiasm was an unexpected source of joy. Siobhan looked to be finally accepting her role among us. She had now joined our little family in truth.

“I have a few ideas. The runes of Haste, Control, and Resilience are tempting. I can’t know exactly their effects, but I feel pretty confident each will bring out solid benefits.”

Astra yawned in her fist and held up her other hand. “Adding Haste to your core will, what? Speed up your Spirit? Or your body?”

I leaned back on my hands and answered as truthfully as I could.
