"Sorry Xorion, is the swords shape based on the shape of your horns?" I asked after the extreme distraction of Garth and his Notifications.

"Yes, the shape is based on my people's horns" he replied with a big grin on his bovine face. "That is the weapon my ancestors created for the classless, I have maintained it like my predicesor taught me tooo. It is not a sword though, that is the All Blade. Once you have discovered it's secrets, it is said tooo be better than any other weapon, yooou will need no other." He looked at the weapon like it was going to perform a magic trick. " It is said that the blade once had the shape of a katana, but over the years, it took that shape."

"So I'll need to figure this out too," I tried not to about asking Garth... I really did.

"No Dave, I do not know about the All Weapon. Though you with your metallurgy affinity you should be able to get more information than myself or even Xorion." Garth butted in... Helpfully, for once.

At this I focused on the All Weapon, I could now tell that the handle wasn't bamboo at all, it was metal. How or why it looked the way it did clicked. "Hey Dorion as part of the maintenance of this thing, have your and your predecessors been dumping you Qi into this thing?" I asked knowing the answer.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Yes, we have." He said his eyebrows climbing up. "Your affinity seems to be working beyond my expectations."

I focused on my Qi pool and began trying to force it into the blade. It felt like getting hit in the head with a frying pan. I yelped and dropped to my knees. "Ouch!" I cried.

"Ha," Xorion exclamated. "You cannot for your Qi into the All Weapon so forcefully, it will feed back into you."

"So how then?" I didn't whine... I swear.

"Meditation is the best way," he said easily, like it was obvious.

I recovered the blade and held it gently in my hands across my lap, still on my knees and started meditating, focusing on my Qi pool. Slowly letting my Qi trickle into the blade. I could feel the All Weapon get warm in my hands its weight shifting on my lap. The classless symbol flashed quite a few times in the corner of my vision, pinging each time it flashed. Somehow it got heavier and lighter a couple times. Soon my Qi pool was down to 20 and I stopped. I looked at the weapon and.... nothing had changed. Well that was a waste of time and Qi. It could at least formed a guard. Suddenly I had a longsword with a stout guard above the grip. Oh not a waist.

"That was amazing" Xorion stated, "it went throughso many forms, it's true what the elders say. The classless can use all weapons in one."

I looked at the beautiful longsword in my hand, "the All Weapon, very fitting name." I said in awe. "Ok so I guess we should get moving, I need to try this thing out." I looked down the tunnel and looked at my companions. One a bull man, the other a miniature dust devil. "Let's get to your maze Xorion."
