Cast pushed the heavy metal doors open, "Welcome to the Armory."
Building was large. Walking through the doors it was obvious that the Armory was more like a bunker than anything else. The walls were a meter thick of some type of metal. The first hallway was not too long. At the end of the hall sat another pair of doors. They were the same as the first set, large, gray, and heavy.
Opening the second set of doors the room expanded outwards. It was much larger than the room he had been in. Ever surface was covered by equipment.
One wall had hundreds of weapons. Another had armor of all varieties. A third was covered in what seemed like utility equipment. The final way had the least with it having many sets of charms. Along with the charms there was a desk with a single door next to it.
Sitting at the desk was a man of short stature. His brown hair was neat. He looked board. The man was looking at something in his hands as Cast and Anderson approached.
"What you got Jast?" Cast spoke.
"Oh Sir Cast I didn't notice you. Sorry about that I was just studying this new memory. Its of the Ascended rank and is a tier II memory." Jast held the red crystal in his hands like it was the most fragile thing in existance.
"Who killed a Fallen Monster?" Cast asked.
"Oh it was Sir Jackson. He has been wanting to get a stronger spear and since I haven't gotten any new ones he decided to do it himself. I think he is going to kill as many as it takes to get an Ascended spear."
"Him and his spears." Cast sighed. "Anyway, I got the new member behind me."
Jast blinked before leaning over to see Anderson standing behind Cast. "I didn't even see you. Sorry about that. Anyway what are you here for?"
"A weapon and one memory of his choosing." Cast Answered.
Jast looked to Anderson, "So boy what weapon do you prefer."
"A spear." Anderson answered.
"Well your out of luck. You heard me and Cast talking about Jackson and his hunt for an Ascended spear right?"
Anderson nodded.
"Good, well Jackson is treats spears like one would money. More is better. So he has a habit of getting as many as he can. The only weapon that is close to a spear would be a halberd. Would you like to look at those?"
"Yes"
Jast got up and started walking across the room. "I have a few. All of them are of the Awakened rank. I got five tier I, three tier II, and one tier IV."
Jast looked to Cast. "If I'm not wrong you were the one who got the tier IV one."
Cast's face changed in realization only for it to immediately grimaced. "Oh that one. That Awakened Devil was a nightmare to fight. I thought it was fallen at least when fighting it. Hell I mean it tore through my vector shield and started pulling my guts out. If it weren't for Angela then I think I would have died that day.
If my memory serves me correctly, you put a charm in it to increase its potency and gives it an area affect to it too." Cast looked to Jast for confirmation.
"That's about the gist of it." Cast confirmed, "He can have it no one uses halberds right now and that one has been here for eight years."
"Sure I'll take it." Anderson Answered.
"Ok now do you want a armor, utility, or charm memory." Cast asked.
"Do any of the memories have a regeneration affect, like just quicker growing of skin, hair or nails."
"Um. Let me check." Jast walked back to his desk, pulling out a makeshift book.
"Increased healing rate..." Jast was reading line by line to find if he had one.
"So why do you want a memory like that." Cast asked Anderson while Jast was busy.
"My aspect is an odd on and being able to speed up the growth of my body would help me use it better." Anderson answer.
"After your better I would like to see what you can do with you aspect. When we found you we saw thirty two dead rabbits. Although dormant they are still hard to deal with in that quantity, especially in your condition."
"What do you mean about my condition?"
"Well you didn't seem to have been injured by the rabbits much and those rabbits could do the damage needed to put you in your state. Along with the curse already being as strong as it was showed that you really are strong."
"Well your right the first nightmare creature I had to fight was an Awakened Monster. It was mostly luck I survived."
"There's no such thing as luck. Only the correct use of your opportunities. So tell me was it luck or did you take advantage of your situation."
Anderson stood there. Not answering Cast's question. Though Cast knew from Anderson's reaction that he was right.
At that moment Jast announced, "I do have one. It is an Awakened memory of the second tier. It increases the grow of the wears body while it boosts you after you trim parts like hair and stuff. Is that what you looking for?"
"Yes actually, that's perfect."
"Then we are done. It was nice meeting you, I hope you come back some other time too." Jast reached out his hand to shake Anderson's hand.
Reaching out Anderson shook Jast's hand.
[You have received a memory, Flagbearer's Halberd]
[You have received a memory, Growing Heart]
"If that's all then we will taking our leave." Cast said as he turned to the doors to leave.
They exited the building chatting a little as they headed to the mess hall to eat lunch. After which, Cast finished showing Anderson around as the day slowly made its way to an end.
