Thinking Ahead (Part 2)

"Are you sure you don't want to take some time to mull over my words before making your final decision?" Faluel asked.

"I've had years to mull over my life. I don't seek the power of a Harbinger because I find any pleasure in serving you, but because it's the only path that will allow me to give my life a meaning." Friya said.

"Excellent answer." Faluel nodded, giving Friya a wooden chest the size of a shoebox.

"Why are you giving me a gift?" Friya opened the chest and found a heavy hammer made of Adamant wrapped inside a silk cloth.

"That's not a gift, it's your Forgemastering hammer. I told you that my tier five magic is nothing like the academy. To learn Hydra techniques, you need a better tool than that flimsy wand." Faluel stood up and lead Friya to her personal Forge.
