Melinda couldn't battle with the practical drive Chloe had. Fighting evil is one thing but this demon was ... well called a demon LORD for a reason. Aghh !<br/><br/>Melinda nodded to Chloe at her comment concerning shape shifting<strong>"It does throw ones personality out a little, i think i need how to refine keeping my own mind when I do... I guess we all think our personality is stronger than others but well ... toying with a vampire body is asking for trouble. I will take heed of your caution sis"</strong><br/><br/>Yes this demon lord HAD to die. But creatures like those were alive for eons because they were damn good at being better than everything else that had issues with them ... it was<em>THAT</em>simple. Chloe knew it and was being strong, perhaps it was a brave face but it was brave enough to fool Melinda and that scared Mel endlessly, as Chloe was only that driven when she was scared herself ... and not much rattled her.<br/><br/><strong>"We have seen what this creature can do. I just can't bare to loose anyone I care about, you see what happens to those that loose a love one in this way ... they dont recover ... living a life with such loss is worse than him taking their lives also. There must be another we can empower to do it.. " </strong><br/><br/>Melinda tried to plead with Chloe but it seemed Chloe saw it coming and didn't have the time for it. More likely Chloe knew second guessing now is the worst thing she could let herself do and entertaining talking of it could just make everyone feel helpless and that is the last thing we needed.<br/><br/><strong>"I think I need to do something to stop myself over thinking this"</strong>Mel stated to herself.<br/><br/>Minutes later she was with quill in hand copying the parchment ... the spell alone explicitly without encoding .. followed by the original coded poem like story - in case it had its own hidden value. Chloe was likely being more sensible in researching more but Melinda was too emotionally exhausted to try and do anything more that think of preserving what she had for the moment.<br/><br/>After making the copy Melinda placed it carefully amongst her own most precious collections and start pacing the kitchen like a caged lion.<br/><br/>"<strong>Ah Chloe the spell was designed for a sword ... I do hope you know what your doing, messing with other options is well ... Gosh it wouldn't take much of a mistake to stuff something like that up. Even decoded that spell was the most complex one I have read. Some of the terms I only know loose translations for."</strong>Melinda mumbled under her breath.<br/><br/>Hmm ... Chloe looked to Jacob.<br/><strong><br/>"What if we don't have to make this "impeccably crafted" thing ourselves ? Or commission it ? Is there something around that the elders know that would suit ? Better yet ... I do trust the witches that made the original more than what I fear our fumbling attempts. <br/>Following that spell is going to take days to do it right and I am not sure we will do it anywhere near well enough first time, <br/>nor know if we did it wrong even when its done. The magic is very strange."</strong><br/><br/>Melinda tried to mimic Chloes strength, which seemed to work in pose form while her hand stayed firmly on her hips, yet she couldn't match it with her voice. Not by a long shot.<br/><br/><strong>"Can you ask the elders a few things, we are out of our depth here and they know it. We need their help. We can't make mistakes now. We need to know if our chances of finding the original weapon is better than gambling with trying a spell this complex ourselves. <br/><br/>With the charms I saw in that scroll, whatever weapon they made is unlikely to rust or decay, from what i gather destroying something like that would be about as hard as making it in the first place.... Please please ask them does it still exist ?"</strong><br/>
