Star Road Chronicles - SECTION REVEAL - The First Design

SECTION REVEAL

By Turtletower12 and Peap

We're gonna give a section for recommendations. Also, we want to have some mystery. Also, brainstorm what'll happen after this section. It'll be so cool!!! We're looking for any suggestions: 

    The remaining piece of Arccreaus walked the crystallized crust of Sol’s planet. It was almost completely flat, save for the occasional crystal spike. The entire ground was covered in a half-inch of water, reflecting the clear night sky. Like everywhere else, too many stars littered the sky. This place made Arccreaus’ planet look dull and laughable compared with its beauty. He held the gem in his right hand and his sword in the left. The stone had its own magic and all the magic Fracsure Arccreaus had obtained over the years. The stone was easily the most powerful thing there was. What have I done? 

    Arccreaus sighed. I guess I should free its soul too. It was easy to do since there was no resistance. He felt his power dissolve in the gem, but it left an imprint, and that imprint would free its soul. Sky-blue light slashed a few feet in front of him. Chains appeared and pulled the cut open. Arccreaus rolled his eyes. What is it with these people with dramatic entrances? “Arccreaus, how dare you invade my home…” Sol's commanding tone trailed off as he noticed his power level and the stone. “What has happened?” “What has happened to your voice?” 

    Arccreaus stated, “Please, you pulled the old raspy voice better than whatever this new one is.” “What do you mean? I quite like this new voice?” Sol looked offended, which was obviously fake., “I think I pull it off well, and the old one was getting boring, but that is beside the point. You are going to tell me everything that happened.” “First things first,” Arccreaus reached out his hand, “I’m going to need to free your soul”. He looked at Arccreaus's hand before finally taking it. 

    Like before, the power dissolved, but this time, there was a slight resistance before Sol allowed it to take effect. With the last of Arccreaus's power gone, his body started to break down into glowing dust. He fell to the ground, kneeling and coughing. This was the end of Arccreaus. “If… If I am going to die, Arccreaus rasped, “then I am glad it was with… you”. 

    He crumbled to the ground as if gravity had a greater effect on him. The water rippled in his wake and his blade fell from his grasp. “NO”, Sol shouted, “No, this can’t be happening! You are going to live, you hear me, you are going to LIVE!” He knelt beside Arccreaus and grabbed his hand. “It's not… not going to happen,” Arccreaus whispered. “I'm going to die, but listen to me. You know what to do. End Marcon… before she enslaves humanity. You… must activate the stone.” 

    Arccreaus handed him an enlarged pocket watch the size of his spread-out hand. It had elegant engravings and all kinds of hidden secrets. He coughed, “Finish … the… First… Design, and…and activate… the… stone.” Then, Arccreaus faded completely, leaving a shining rock in the water and a simple longblade. Sol watched the sparking dust float away. “I’m going to miss you old friend” Sol cried picking up the stone, “I know no other as honorable as you are to grace this world, I know no other who was as close to being my brother, I know no other who was this close to being free of these cruel power as you”. 

    Sol now held both the stone and the mysterious object, and as he looked closely at the devices, he realized what it was. Holding the two things together, he placed the chain on the stone. The chain wrapped around the gem and glowed a red tint that shifted to blue before disappearing. The clock began to tick when he raised the stone and activated it.

FIRST DESIGN

The first design created by the Arcane Arrcreaus is the strongest magic artifact ever created. Arrcreaus worked on it before he ascended, before handing it off to Sol, after he died.
