After Lesser had looked through Mary's memories and returned them, he said everything he had learned from them. Mary was not so surprised about her rapier's enchantments, but she did show for the other two, specifying the [Forgotten Tears]. When she had heard it hand a counter to show how much it grew, but they had no idé how to interest it.
After that, he had to speak about what the memory's description said and about the Cursed Tree that was somewhere on this platoon. They had seen some hills around, but not a giant tree. Lesser decided to look at Adam's memories.
The first memory was his greatsword, it was only a tier I and a dormant, its enchantment made it sharp. The second memory was more interesting, and had answered his question why it was so powerful. It was a Tier III Awakened weapon that had only one enchantment, but It was powerful. It could Pierce through any armor that was weaker or of the same rank and class. Well Lesser look at the armor, it was a tier II awanken, that could drop an anchor that stopped the user from moving. It was weird, it was a passive enchantment, not an active one.
When Lesser saw the last, he was caught heavily. 'What the Spell!'. He had not looked at the enchantment, but had stopped at description.
Name: [Undaying Flame]
Runes:
Memory Rank: Awakened
Memory Tier: III.
Memory Type: Charm.
Memory Description: [It had been born from an Ascended Tyrant Tree: Gundra of Cursed neglect. It will make all forget their pain, only to think that it was the mind that was the pain. For all that enter its mark, it will slowly turn to rest. Only to meet a group of defined flames.
It asks, not knowing it couldn't be heard.
"Why?"
"Forget!"
"Your Will."
"WHY?"
Only to meet flames. In anger it still asks.
"WHY?"
Only hearing a poem from an Unfated boy.
"Flame so bright it thought it was a star, it danced not knowing it had burned. Calling it a fire was insulting, it saw itself as a flame of life. It only burned all it saw, corrupt that was after its desire."
It finally found its answer. It made itself forget the pain to rest forever.]
'Why, Spell Why?!'
Everyone looked at Lesser, he had thrown up his arm, in anger. They look at him, smugly smiling. Adam had spoken to Lee and Mary about the description already. They had just wanted to see Lesser's embarrassed face. Turning to them, and seeing their smug faces. Lesser was embarrassed, but he was angry too.
It took him some breath to calm down, now turning to the memory's enchantment.
Memory Enchantments: [Endless Flame], [Floating], [Given Will].
Enchantment: [Endless Flame].
Enchantment Description: [It has an endless flame. That can grow stronger with your essence.]
Enchantment: [Floating].
Enchantment Description: [It can float by the master side or for others it is a master desirer.]
Enchantment: [Given Will].
Enchantment Description: [It has a mind and will.]
The first was both passive and active. The others were passive, but when Lesser looked at the third enchantment he froze. 'Wait, it has a mind and will.', it was a semi-echo. He looked at it, really looked at it, and then he saw it. His question was finally solved. It was stings, every memory had some in them. He felt stuped, how he had missed it. Maybe it was because he was not looking closely, maybe it was how complex it was, or how the books on memories never said a thing about them, but it was well he saw the semi-echo strings, he had likened them to the living stone sculpture in his first nightmare. The color and material was different, and the level of the strings of a memory was far amazing, to even compare them was insane, but it was the same form structure. The stone sculpture strings were easier to read, then the memories.
After going through the motion, he gave back the memories to Adam, and told them what they did. Compared to Mary, Adam had known more of his memories, but it was good to confirm it.
When it came to Lee, his memory was surprising. The armor was surprisingly useful.
It was a Tier III Ascended Armor that had two passive enchants. One let him recover faster, for both his essence and wounds by sleeping. And the other would make him have a stronger Will, the more Glory felt. Lesser did not know the full truth of what Will could do.
The second was a weapon that had an active, that made it longer or shorter. It was only a tier I dormant, but the third had an interesting description.
["I have never bled in my life" said the female general to her enemy.
"But having taken my heart, that is the first" Said she to the Flagbearer.
For the love she left for the Flagbearer was a curse she left for them as well.]
Lesser looks at it and turns with a smirk at Lee, Lee looks back at him with a smirk.
"So, you not only stole her heart, but also her heart."
"Yes I did."
Adam and Mary look between them and turn to each other with a confused face.
Now continuing looking, and reading, it was a tier I Ascended Charm, that makes the user don't bleed and seals their feeling for love for anyone. The last memory was [Blood Hangers].
Retuning them and for the third time speaking about this. He was now mentally tired, from reading and the Spell speaking in the background. They reequip their memories back on them.
Readly to walk, Lee pointed to a direction for the lake, and slowly pointed to a hill close to it. They had picked up something to use later, mainly branches, fruits and a small log. Adam had used vines as ropes to tie the branches together. Lee and Mary were carrying the fruits, but what Lesser carried was his own font. Not only did he carry some fruits, but also a small log.
He wanted to test how his aspect worked more, and that was how he got to carry the log.
They walk slowly and ready to drop their loot if something attacks them. It was about an hour before Mary's face twisted, it pale and turned to horror.
"Run!"
They picked up their pace, it took them some time before they saw darker clouds form. The rain was good, but they have no shelter and no way of picking it up. They got to the hills before it began to drop. They look around, hoping that they can find shelter. Lesser was still no finder, Adam saw no place to hide. Lee looked up on the hill, it had a small opening higher up. Lee ran, they followed. The rain was fast and heavy, they all were wet, cold and in pain, but they had entered the opening in the hill. It was not long or high, but was big enough to have them in it.
Adam summoned the [Undaying Flame] for its light and warmth. It danced in the mitten of them, happily that it had used. Adam had dismissed the heavy part of his armor. Lee and Lesser had to dismiss their entire memory. They're back to the fire. Mary had only dismissed the coat part, now leaving her in a white shirt and tight dark jeans.
Lesser had summoned his memoirs, not wasting time. He began to split a top part of the log, slowly caving the inside of it. He had hope of making it into a chest. Lee looked at him bored and turned to the two legacies. Adam and Mary talked about the legacy things, some about a Chancing Star, but Lesser was not listening.
Lee looked out of the opening to the rain, he saw nothing, like the world had been absorbed to endless darkness. Mary looked at him with a small smirk.
"First time seeing true darkness?"
"Yes"
Adam looked at them not liking what that meen.
"So, is it only when the rain comes or is it true darkness when the sun leaves?"
"I don't know, my foresight only is up to an hour, max."
"Damit!"
They stopped speaking, trying to listen to the rain, but the sound of someone carving was mixed into it. Lesser had picked up on what they were talking about, and he still did not stop carving. The log had its inside carved up, its bottom flatten, and now looks like a chest without its lid.
"What are you doing?"
Adam asked. Lessee answered.
"Trying to figure out how my aspect works. It lets me empower stuff by carving."
"So what are you trying to do then?"
Now it was Mary time to ask. He answered.
"Trying to make this log it to a chest, then into a memory."
"How is it going then?"
And the last to ask was Lee. Lesser turn and answer, annoyed.
"Not so good, and stop asking questions."
They look at him, finally having him turn around. Adam throws him a fruit to distract him, Lee picking up the chest and placing it under the floating torch.
"Wait, what are you guys doing?"
Mary answered, happily at that.
"Giving you time to think, and giving us some time to be silent and listen to the rain."
Lesser did not speak, he did not eat, but he did think. Of how to turn the chest into a memory. The sound of the rain slowly drops like a rhythm. He did not know how his aspect empowered things, but it led him to carve it. 'Carve the text for flames, give it power, but it did not make it into a memory.', He looked up to the cave ceiling, and then slowly went down the chest. 'It needs something more, but what.'. The rain is still dropping like music, the floating torch dancing, and…
"That it!"
Startling the others. He began to look closely at the [Undaying Flame]. It had his touch to it, it was made by him and turned into a memory by the Spell. He had carved runes on a branch, giving it power to burn, but it was not enough, something more was added to it, for it to turn it into a memory. A nightmare creature, no, soul shards. He began to tack out some shards that he had picked up. They had agreed to not absurd them, but to split later. 'Do a need to turn into dust, no if it breaks it is absorbed by him, so carve it into the chest." He began to reach for the chest, only for Lee to stop him.
"What–?"
"Not 'what' me, What was that about?"
"About what?"
"About you yelling?"
"Ou… I might have figured out how to make a memory."
They look at him. Mary saw the clarity in his eyes, she never saw his future, it was like a fog or a mist blocking it, but in that clarity, she saw his attribute, the fog was still there hiding the rest, but one attribute showed. It was gone the next moment. She saw it, but at the same time she saw nothing.
Lee and Adam looted him, but it was Mary that asked.
"How are you planning it?"
His eyes look at her, calm, but misty eyes.
"Easy. First carve some runes around it, second make the lid and for the third carve a spot for the soul shards. One to three are probably needed."
"Good, for the runes. We will help."
