“My soldiers welcome you.”

“We are greatly honored.”

“I am honored to have you both here, “she says smiling, “As you can see the others have made themselves at home.” Looking up they see four of the soldiers that rode alongside them engage in a friendly sword match. Walking towards them they looked on in excitement. As both cheered them on something caught the attention of Bette. The exchange of swords, all women used wooden swords as a means of preventing injury. Lying a few feet away were the actual metal swords used by the soldiers serving Natticulus, but from where she stood the metal looked nothing like she had ever seen before. As she drew nearer Queen Maia smiled as she immediately recognized what had captured her attention. Picking up one of the swords she was surprised how light it felt staring at the metal she tilt it back and forth allowing the rays of the sunlight to illuminate off the metal. As she tilted the metal back and forth she saw the color of the metal change from a silver color to a metallic corn yellow color. She had never seen anything like it.

“Baffling isn’t it?”

“Yes……I’ve never seen a metal quite like it your majesty! What is this sword made of?”

“It is just not this sword it is all our weapons what you are staring at is Rexchryum a mineral found only here in Natticulus when mix with pure steel not only does it change its color it reduces the weight of the steel drastically allowing the sword to feel almost feather like.” Bette was in complete in awe.

“There’s more the metal is stronger, unbreakable, never dulls, and pierces the flesh like a knife slicing rotting fruit.”

“How can this be!? I am at a loss for words!”

“This metal has helped me earn the reputation as having one of the deadliest armies known to woman kind.”

“The lightness of the metal along with the balance of ones body weight allows to for my precise yet flawless movement.” Queen Maia seeing and hearing the excitement in Bettes voices was overjoyed.

“As a gift of gratitude I shall see one made for you before you depart.”

“And what of Gaia?”
