The blistering bolt that buzzed through the night sky and illuminated the quiet night with its light struck the door of the eerie construct that seemingly materialized out of nowhere, teeming with a sort of real, yet unreal aura... Almost as though it were imagined up from somewhere.
The Storm Chrysm floated there, as if understanding Tama's wish to receive information on it from the linking of their energies and reacting suddenly to it, magnetizing itself to where it could pull the best source of information from. For some reason, it seemed to want to grant her wish, even if it was something so simple.

Tama had lost the jewel, but the plasmic trail that it left behind for her to follow was a guiding light. She cursed that she could travel as fast as the gem, not yet anyway. She'd just woken up, after all, and was still feeling a tad bit sluggish. Without being able to hunt anything, she wasn't able to get her work out and the daily dose of kinetic energy that kept her at the top of her game.
Touching down, in a knelt position, before where the jewel had embedded itself, Tama rose to her feet and stepped forward to reach for it, "Here?" She took a glance around where it had led her. She was familiar with the Dusk more than anywhere else, but this gem had taken her through the crystal nexus to one of the higher plains. The missing eternal sunset told her it wasn't part of the dusk and the missing eternal sunrise let her know it wasn't the Dawn either.

The girl, seemingly lost and confused as the events unfolded the way they did, followed the trail of the Storm Chrysm regardless, possibly by an inner curious desire to see what sort of mystical mysterious were behind this crystallized energy found in the Mystic Woods. Fortunately for her, where it stopped was none other than Testament Palace; the Fountain of Enlightenment. This is where all such information and knowledge gathered into a singularity... And what harbored all of this knowledge was within.
With that, the Storm Chrysm would gently set itself within Tama's hand, no longer unstable now that it was adjusted to her electromagnetic wavelength. It would feel like a power stone in her hand now, and was warm to the touch, like it belonged in her hand. It was relinquished to her control. (You post what happens to the stone from here on out. It is yours now.)

Tama inspected the stone that had dropped itself into her hand. She didn't feel the surge of energy like she had in the woods, nor did that exceptional sight return to her either. The stone was warm, and its shine had morphed, a tad, to match the color of her own energy. Where it would spark with violet colored lightning before, it was a cool icy blue now, and Tama felt really connected to it now. Definitely more than she had in the woods.
It floated from her hand, floating around her body like a small fairy, before phasing through her clothes and embedding itself into her right shoulder blade. When Tama pulled down her top, just a little bit to take a peek, she couldn't see it, however, there was a small tattoo like marking there. She huffed as she fixed her clothes and looked up at the building shed been led to, with her hands affixed to her hips.
"Why here?" Curiously, she approached the building, reaching for what appeared to be a door. If the stone had led her by her wish for answers, then this must be the place to receive them.

"Because I know what it is you seek," a disembodied voice spoke to her from what seemed to be the very Palace itself. Before her, an eerie looking man would materialize, whose face lacked much expression save for a slight smile and glowing blue eyes. The image of this person was robed in digital light, yet he looked exceedingly familiar to someone that Tama probably only knew as a memory. "... For this is the Testament Palace; the place where all knowledge and information gather. It is to me; the Infinite Sea. Though everything, I know, tis not my place to speak unless asked, or in idle conversation." He smiled fondly, as though talking to someone he knew very well, even if she didn't herself.
"... That stone you picked up is special," he said rather generally, leaving it only at that for her. "Would you care to come inside, since it brought you all the way here?"

Tama stared into the expressionless face, which belonged to the disembodied voice that addressed her, with her ever aloof deadpan periwinkle eyes. She was the farthest thing from expressive herself, and that was just because she'd always been alone and groomed for killing. It was only in the thrilling heat of battle that she felt a linger feeling of a smile come to her. Any other expressions were always lingering sensations during her confusing dreams.
The voice was familiar, but not to her ear. She felt deep inside her that she might know who it belonged to if she took the time to think, but the area where the knowledge would be was blank. "You know... about this stone?" Tama couldn't pass up the chance to learn more about it. Why had it appeared before her, why did it connect with her chakra so easily without her forcefully robbing it of its energies and why did it embed itself into her body? The question caused her head to swirl.

"Of course," he mentioned rather swiftly, as if excited to help her. That was his purpose, after all, and he was all for living up to what he was made to do. "I can even answer the questions unspoken, if you so desire." It was impolite for him to use his knowledge to pry, so he tried not to do so as often as he could, regardless of if he knew or not. Common courtesy for one's own property. He would not invade.
However, when it came to the question that was presented to him, he would already begin as he escorted her inside, "Yes. That stone is a very powerful, very special type of gem found around the Veritas. It is actually surprisingly lucky that you should have found it so soon..." They would reach the door of Testament Palace, of which there would be a swirling spiral staircase made of digital, almost glass-like stairs that lead to a bright light at the top from the dark staircase's bottom. "All you need to do is ask, and you will receive what I have to offer. That is how I function." Though he harbored his own Free Will, a gift that no other Machine had, he still followed his mechanical mindset... At least, until it was time to process something on his own that defied that, for reasons beyond what normal machines could comprehend. "Those stones harbor the power of the Veritas itself; crystals with the strength of the Gods. A rare breed, indeed."

"Why did it come to me?" Was her first question as she followed him up the swirling staircase of glass. She, reflexively, looked around and get a bearing on her surrounds. It wasn't as if she didn't trust this disembodied... thing, but making sure she knew her surrounds and how to maneuver within them was second nature to her. It was so deeply ingrained into her psyche that she couldn't go anywhere without looking all over the place.
What caught her eye was the abyssal blackness at the bottom of the staircase while they walked towards the light at the top. This duality was strange to see, but was quite eye-catching in the same breath. She thought to ask about it, but decided against it. The stone embedded in her shoulder was the priority and, from the sounds of it, it was quite the rare find. "It was charged with... electricity." She thought she would point out.

"Why?" he responded inquisitively, "Well, because you touched it, of course! Sometimes, in the Myst, random things are known to spawn. There is a secret to how the Myst functions... As well as what produces it. Fortunately for you, instead of spawning one of the creatures of crystal roaming around... It, instead, generated this magnificent Chrysm for you. A stroke of lunch, indeed!" He seemed more pleased about it than Tama did, for some reason... Possibly just because he enjoyed good fortune to others. Or maybe, it was pivotal to something greater... One could never know when dealing with Tabrith. Not unless they asked, that is.
Though he knew what type of Chrysm it was, he almost got beside himself in realizing that she did not, which was why she was here in the first place. "Ah, electricity... It is a Storm Chrysm, one of the fragments of the Prysm of Lightning, Topaz, the legendary artifact of the Lightning God." As they continued up the seemingly holographic stairs, his body would begin to form from the robe of Data and eventually, the closer they got to the top, the shape of something more familiar; as though the light were exposing what his true form looked like the closer they got to it.
"Yours seems to have only Two Fragment pieces... Chrysms are nothing more than pieces of crystallized energy from the Veritas that are split from the original gem and scattered, for whatever reason. Though there can be many, many pieces that make up an entire Prysm, it seems that you were fortunate enough to have picked up an entire half..." They were more than halfway up the stairs by this point, and would soon be reaching the destination atop Testament Palace; Tabrith's Room. "However, this does not mean that the other Chrysm Fragment has not been nor cannot be broken up into smaller fragments the longer you take to find it. If you use the Storm Chrysm to guide you, eventually, it will lead you to where its missing pieces are."

"What if... someone else has it?" Tama asked in her soft voice, thinking about what he was telling her. If she'd been lucky enough to pick up an entire half of this storm chrysm that holds the power of the lightning god, then the other half was out there somewhere. Tama didn't think that she could have been the only one to manage such a stroke of good fortune, especially when she hadn't done anything to deserve it. In fact, she was the farthest away from deserve anything that, nor did she desire it. Still, would have to kill for the other half if someone had lucked up upon it? Surely there were few that could stand up to her might when her greed took hold.
"Who is the Lightning God?" As the approached their destination, Tama wondered if she had been seeing visions of him and the woman that had betrayed him was another of the Gods. Ignorant to the mythos of the Veritas, since, as far as she knew, she was raised in Valparaiso's Broken Homes Orphanage, and all Tama knew was how to fight, how to survive, and how to kill. She could only rely on the visions that began to plague her dreams, which weren't always that sweet to begin with.
"Does he show himself to anyone...?" She wanted to know.

The thought of someone else having the other half of the Chrysm was feasible, but Tabrith knew of what had to occur if such were the case, "Then, if that is to happen, you would either work together to achieve the great power of the Storms within the Topaz, or, you face each other and either side fights for either piece." It was a sort of 'Xiaolin Showdown' type deal of sorts, where the winner would claim the artifact's piece, naturally.
As she started to inquire about the Lightning God, the two of them would reach the top of the stairway, and Tabrith's form would come into full view, "Ah! We're here! The head of Testament Palace..." What she would find would be... Seemingly a realm made of pure data. Tabrith, and all that he was, manifested as a storage place for all such information. Yet, it was organized to look exactly the same as a normal HQ room, something along the lines of this.
"Ah, my Personal Information Chamber..." he muttered, letting the knowledge wash over Tama rather gently. She would, for as long as she was here, become partially digitized, yet would still remain physically tangible and intact, as though she were teetering between two existences. "Now, about your question...." he made sure to come back to, bringing up a great deal of information on the current Lightning God and the history of the previous, regardless of whether Tama intended to read or know or not... Tabrith was the type to sometimes provide an abundance of information in his own excitement for pure knowledge itself.
"Here; The Lightning God, known also as the Raigami, harbors all the power of the Storm at his beck and call, powered by his innermost strength. Originally, this was known as the 'Insanity of Melancholia,' the overwhelming Silent Storm that ravaged the lands... However, after the first Lightning God, Grimlock, was succeeded by the current, Tsao-Rin, the Insanity that powered this great storm has long since calmed and settled at the Sacred Shrine of the Mezzo Terra. This is where the new Lightning God, he who has quelled the Insanity and mastered the element of Lightning, now resides, closed off from the world in humble isolation and meditation." There was a lot of information that seemed to be missing, but Tabrith was only pointing out the absolutely crucial facts to Tama, at this point in time, rather. "Being the only God of the Dawn that does not reside in the Dawn, his isolation from his family brings him sadness that he has learned to calm in order to suppress the storm. In his meditation, he is not to be disturbed and has blocked off evil from entering his Sacred Area so he may contemplate in peace. Though he knows the Light of the Mind, his flower is not a Lotus, yet still flower of many petals; a beautiful Crystal Chrysanthemum that shines as golden as lightning itself."
Unless Tama wished to know more, he would simply leave Tama with the shortened version, though the information was there to peruse at her leisure. "... He knows of everything except for his own Peace. He remains in Solemn Meditation to quiet the storm within. If he is to break from it and unleash what he contained deep inside, it would cause yet another great storm like the one that ravaged the Veritas before..." Tabrith remembered the Rolling Silence that was that great dark cloud of sadness... And the vicious glowing green lightning and flames that sprouted from the abyssal cloud... "... However, those time have come to pass."

Tama didn't have much time to admire the scenery so much, since as soon as they entered the area this man of knowledge launched into his answer to one her questions. It was a lot to take in, really, learning about the past Lightning Gods and Goddesses and listening closely to what the current one was up too. Tama was still interested in knowing more, she wanted to know much more. It couldnt have just been blind luck that she was the one that found this half of the gemstone when she'd felt such an unnatural attraction to it. Looking at her, it was clear that she was a simple woman that didn't fawn over gaudy gems unless it was for a job. If she was paid in them, then she hawked them immediately for actual currency.
"Does he argue with the others? Was he betrayed? Is he lonely in isolation?" She was reaching now, stretching her questions to learn more, but they were more about her visions that the actual Lightning God himself, "There was ice and cold. Hatred, scorned feelings..." She seemed to just be babbling now, and any other person probably wouldn't understand what she was trying to express. Her expression was pensive, or at least as pensive as she could show, and her brows furrowed.
"A picture?"

Tabrith laughed to himself, inspired by the inquisitive nature of this girl, for whatever reason it may be. He loved those that loved to learn, or simply to know, as it was what he loved the most. That is why his wave is Nirvana herself, and she was, at a time, his filter when he was still young.
"Ah, such wonderful questions! I see you're one who knows what to ask! Then, I will provide the answer."
As simply as that, a multitude of information would appear before them, taking many different forms before it became a purely legible print that Tama would be able to understand.
It looked like, in fact, oddly enough, some sort of website forum that Tabrith was connected to in some fashion... Being the Infinite Sea means that all data and information was stored within him, and anything that entered the Data Realm that is his being would not only be known, but readily accessible at any given time. A living archive, a living grimoire.
"Here is the Archive Database story of the succession of the Lightning God to the current one. You will, after accessing this knowledge, know a little more about the struggle between them, as well as what both looked like."
Though this would answer only some of her questions, perhaps the more general ones pertaining to the lore, things that came to personal information... He'd probably have to answer, himself.
"He is not one to communicate with others. Unfortunately, his Solitude is his own doing, and he frequently locks himself in complete Absolute Silence. Sadly, this was his inherited 'Absolution,' the form that it took for he, specifically, as a Tensei. That is to say... He is not much of a talker. Formerly, he could not speak at all, so it is not something he knows how to do very well."
"Though he was happy that he could talk when he obtained the power to do so; the power to use the Voice just the same as the other Tensei... He was still rather downtrodden due to his own isolation within himself. He was the one who kept himself silent. And now, he is also the one that keeps to himself... By his own wishes."
Tabrith looked down, almost as though mourning the Dark Wolf... "... His deep sadness comes from his loneliness, yet it does not bother him whilst he is in meditation. He has learned to embrace solitude, but ended up isolating himself from everyone and now... It trapped by his own doing. No longer is he sad, but merely extremely lonely... And, his Vow of Silence keeps him from speaking up about it." He was actually quite the dutiful lad, despite how he was the cause of his own misery in isolation.
"So, as you can infer, arguments do not occur much with this one. He seems, for some reason, dead set on being in isolation. Some belief it is for training. Others, because he doesn't fit in. The only way to know for sure is to ask, himself." Naturally, Tabrith knew the Truth on the matter, however, being a Shinsanity meant that at a whim, whatever was felt by them could be altered, which would immediately alter Tabrith's own information according to how the rest of the world was working at the time. Because their influence was that great, being purely Emotional beings, at any time their Emotions shifted, so too would information about them. Unless they were kept balanced, information about them could be altered.
He couldn't say that he didn't notice her muttering, though. Seemed she was recalling memories that weren't her own, yet, at the same time, were. He didn't think much of it, but definitely made a mental note. "... Hm. Is there anything... Else you'd care to know about this scenario? Or is this sufficient information?"

Tama's pensive stare didn't falter as she overlooked the information provided for her. It wasn't until she reached the pictures that it vanished and she handed the information back to the man of knowledge. Unfortunately, this was a lot of information, but it wasn't about the man she was seeing in her dreams. She'd thought the stone would be able to lead her to answers about him, but it didn't see to be the case. She was grateful for the information that had been shared with her though.
"It's not him." She said in response looking down at her hands, which tingle with a small bit of an electrical charge, "The man. It's not him," which only meant that Tama was back at square one when she thought she'd found the halfway mark. Still, she would have had to find the other piece of the gemstone before she could get her answers directly from the source anyway. This only showed her the quest wasn't quite worth pursuing as a primary, and she could do others things.

"Not him?" he mirrored the words back, almost puzzled, "Yet, you asked for information on the Lightning God as well as the Storm Chrysm, correct? This must not be the information that you truly seek, then." Tabrith knew what it was she was looking for... Rather, WHO she was looking for... And though the Storm Chrysm she had played a part in that memory, it was clear that now was not the time for her to unlock the mysteries behind who this person was nor how the Storm Chrysm and the Lightning God related. Perhaps, this was something to be expected, after just now obtaining such a rare item.
"Well, that aside, I have given you all of the information you have asked of me. Though I hope that doesn't end our conversation." He stepped forward, toward the center of the room, tapping at the table once or twice, which would immediately bring up another slew of projections. "... You see, I happen to be conducting an experiment, of sorts. Research, if you will, on all of the information I have obtained... And, things that have not yet been discovered." Though Tabrith was the Omnipedia and supposedly knew all information that existed, anything NEW that was created or discovered still had to find its way back to him somehow. Though he had all the information to know of what could POSSIBLY come to be, even the things that were knew and he didn't know about, until he actually CONFIRMED it, all it would be was speculation, theory and possibility based on the variables of the information he acquired. Therefore...
"... In my work, I have created beings made specifically to gather information about the Veritas. As much as I could just do this myself, there is also a lot I need to discover about the workings of the Data Realm... I wish to see how much information can be mixed and matched; how many variables are capable of being altered to create new things that do not exist, but could exist and all such things. Elements, creatures, things of that nature."
As he spoke, he would browse through a few things he was thinking of, which appeared on the holographic screen before him.
"... I am very interested and dedicated to my research, and because I don't get too many visitors... I was wondering if, perhaps, you'd care to assist me on my endeavors? I'd like to see how my newly created system works."

Certainly Tama hadn't been expecting a business proposition, but she was always up for work if it was something that she could do. She had a substantial amount of life savings, money that she never actually needed because she lived mainly off the land. She was always looking to add to the fund though.
She nodded her head, wondering just what she would be asked to do. It was rare for her to decline a job, though there had been some exceptions, so more than likely she would accept.

"Ah, wonderful!" he replied happily, pleased that his work could be tested by someone that would roam the outside world naturally. The way his system work was reliant on others, so it wasn't something that he could simply do himself. "I hope it proves to be a benefit to both yourself and the Veritas."
He touched the center again, this time the projection of a large book appearing in the center of the screen, hovering in place and rotating a bit.
"This is what is called the 'Omnipedia.' It harbors all of the knowledge of the Veritas, as well as anything and everything else that has been stored within me. Technically, I am it and it is me, though I can take the shape of whatever I wish." He pressed on, changing to something different. It was a book of some sort that resembled the Omnipedia, but looked to be slightly... different.
"This is an Omnidex, a sliver of the Omnipedia that is to be handed out to those who accept my noble cause. It harbors bits and pieces of the information of the Omnipedia, though is predominantly blank in order for those who it is given to record and absorb data from all around them and into the book itself." Another press would alter the shape and form of this book into a number of different things; a mobile device, a laptop computer, a stone tablet, etc.
"It may take the form of anything of your choosing, as long as it is a device that is capable of recording information. It needn't be anything fancy or technological, for the technology itself is not based on appearance, but on capability. Each person who achieves an Omnidex will be able to select what shape and form it takes... However, once it is confirmed, that is the only form that it will take from that point on, so it's best to choose something that you personally prefer and will enjoy."
With the next press, the Omnidex would return to Book form and would open up, revealing what was inside of it. It began blank, but for the sake of example, words and such would begin to be written within it. "Each Omnidex, as I have stated, is mostly blank. This is because the Security System I have established, known as a Chomao, or 'Technology Sprite,' keeps the Information locked away. I will speak on that later, however." He would show an example of what a typical Chomao at its lowest level looked like briefly; something that needed to be trained and evolved (like a Pokemon or something).
After the brief display, he zoomed in on the text itself, which seemed to be in a language that looked ancient and completely unable to be understood, yet... It was pure information, and thus, could be decoded and processed with ease by Tabrith. "Each Omnidex is to be customized specifically to each user. This means that whomever it is set to is the only person capable of reading what is within as well as accessing the Chomao within. To destroy the book is to destroy the Chomao, as well as all of your progress. So it is best to be as careful as you possibly can."
He paused, turning to Tama, "Do you have any questions so far?" There was more to continue about, but this was specifically about the Omnidex itself and how it functioned rather than what its functions were. He figured that, instead of trying to explain everything all at once, it would be best to stop and see if she had any inquiries of her own before he continued.

Tama sat and listened intently to what this man was saying to her. She wasn't quite sure what the actual job that she was supposed to do was. She was glad that he was sharing all this background, but most times she didn't require it. As long as the payment was good enough, she would do any job without question. It was how the Orphanage raised her, and the others, to be.
"What's the job, exactly?" Was all she wanted to ask.

(Sorry for the delay. Had to work some things out.)
"Ah, that's very simple. All you have to do is go out and record what you find and help to expand the Omnipedia. Protect this world from devastation and such. Hone the skills that are taught in the Omnipedia, care for your Chomao, and merely collect data about the Veritas. Basically, just live, learn and grow. That is all that is truly required." There really wasn't anything special about anything he was asking, but it would do him a great deal of help for her to assist, and anyone else, for that matter. "If you require a place to stay, I will gladly offer the Tenseinium as a place for refuge. That is where I will be putting up missions and such for those who accept my noble cause to take up. The rewards are variable, as some of these missions are not assigned by me, but merely data that has been collected from around the Veritas, analyzed and immediately posted up for any to take as they see fit. So, if you ever get bored, be sure to check it out."
Though the task seemed simple, when actually in the fray, it would get more in depth.

Tama nodded her head, finally getting the information that she truly needed. She was okay with this job since it seemed like she didn't have to really do much besides what she already doing. She was drifter by nature, couldn't stay in one place too long, and this would clearly help with completely this job. It sounded like she got free things out it as well, and everyone loved free stuff.
"Fine... I'm in." She replied with a nod of her head. She would accept this omnipedia device.

"Excellent! Wonderful!" he exclaimed joyously, clasping his hands together, "Well then! First thing's first, I will have to give you your Omnidex. With it, you will be able to customize its appearance and primary functionality, as well as decide on what you wish for your Chomao to look like. Once you have done that, I can explain to you how to access the information of the Omnidex, which will grant both you and your Chomao your 'Classes' and the special abilities that come from them."
Tabrith touched the center panel one last time, and with it, a single shimmering shard of crystal would appear before the two of them, having been formed by a massive accumulation of pure, raw data. With that, he would give it to Tama, where she would decide from there how she wished to customize her Omnidex.
"When you are prepared, I will guide you through the Personal Image Creator process."

Tama nodded her head before taking the crystal in her hand. If she got to choose what the omnipedia looked like, then she wanted something practical that wouldn't get in her way when she was fighting. From what she could understand from all of this, the omnipedia would always be recording what she was experiencing, so there was no need for it to be in constant sight.
Just as quickly as she had decided on that, the crystal shard morphed and transmogrified into a scrunchie which she slipped her hair into to fashion a ponytail. The chomao came next, and that was decided immediately as well.
Her stoic face lit up almost immediately at the sight of the adorable thing, but it was momentary before she looked back at the man. "What now?"

"Now..." he responded quickly, changing to the next page on the screen, "You select what you want your Personal Image, or 'Class' to be. There are few you can select from in the beginning, but as you acquire more information, more classes open up to you that you can switch to at any given time. However, you may only use them one at a time and their techniques do not carry over into other Classes, so choosing which one is crucial. This is where your own source of power will come from in order to engage the creatures of the Veritas. Even if you have your own, the Omnidex will provide you with special magical skills that can only be acquired from these Classes. These are the skills that are set into the Veritas, meaning that they are common knowledge and may be used by a mass of people, where your own skills would be signature to only yourself." He zoomed in on the 'Chapters' of the Omnipedia, which showed a detailed description and list of techniques as well as pictures for each of the current classes.
"Choose one for yourself and one for your Chomao. You both will start off with one basic ability and eventually learn the rest along the way that are available to your current level. You may do so on your own time and in your own way, but cannot exceed learning the ones that are only of your power level at the time. If there are special requirements, naturally, those must be acquired before accessibility will become available to any of the information available in your Omnidex."
He smiled, turning his head and dreary, tired looking eyes over to Tama, asking her softly, "Is there anything else that you would care to know?"

Tama looked over the available choices with great focus. It sounded like she would get a lot of crazy new abilities with this Person Image Creator thing, but she wanted to make sure that she chose something that she would use; something that fit with her personality and fighting style. Unfortunately, from what she could see, there was nothing that immediately stood out to her as a class that she 'fit into' and she preferred not to decide.
"Can I choose later?" She asked, looking at the chomao that had taken her side silently. It floated a bit of the ground, hovering around her as she watched it do so, before it stopped close to her shoulder blade where the gem from before had embedded itself. Curiously, it poked at her shoulder, as if trying to extract the stone from her shoulder. Tama turned back to the man she'd been speaking to this whole time.
"Could I use this stone, as it is, for something else? Like, say if I wanted to perform a summoning, but not of the ones described in this book thingy?"

Tabrith smiled and nodded, "Of course you may. Whenever you are ready to choose, simply access the data within your Omnidex via your Chomao and establish your classes from there." She didn't need Tabrith around in order to select anything, just to walk her through the process and guidelines.
However, her next question posed something of interest, even for Tabrith. "A summoning?" he parroted, placing a hand upon his chin in thought, "Well, yes, theoretically, you could, for the energy within the Chrysm is quite powerful... However, without its counterpart to fully complete it, I cannot guarantee that it would be stable... You are free to try, however. As it stands, because you have but a fragment, its power is fully completed. Though, if it has already been bound to your power, perhaps you could make up for whatever the other piece or pieces would have granted?" It was a theory, indeed, considering that if she had that sort of power to match the Storm Chrysm without completely expiring her own energetic reserves AND keep a stable connection maintained, summoning something with it shouldn't have been too much of a problem, he figured.
"It is up to you whether you wish to wait until you find the other fragments or if you'd like to test it on your own."
