The Creatures of Legend - Error's Claymore

Spider sits down on the front porch steps while examining the claymore laying on her lap. She wonders why it’s so heavy for Luna, Hinata, and Elara, but also why it’s glowing red. As far as she can tell from a cursory examination, it’s a really nice claymore with a black hilt, a silver blade and a gemstone in the hilt that glows red. This sword is way cooler than anything Luna and Hinata own themselves. While looking it over, Spider notices an inscription on the hilt, one engraved in what seems like gold and easily stands out against the black:

Hi :)

On seeing this, Spider frowns with her mind flashing back to the Trials with the red computer screens. Curiously, however, she taps a nail on the gem and waits. The inscription seems to change to:

No Creature of Legend Found.

Tapping it twice causes the gem to turn Green like an emerald. A cone of light shines from the blade, also green.

Magical User ID Mode Active:
are you going to ignore me spider :(

With a suprised glance, Spider responsd quietly knowing the others sitting in the living room can probably hear them, “I wasn’t expecting you to be sentient but ..hi?”

oh wooooow, i'm not being ignored! ^~^ hi spider thanks for saving my claymore!

Spider tilts their head, "You're welcome whoever you are."

ah yee i forgor. :skull: i am error. one of the creatures of legend, or at least, its a smol part of me c:

Spider thinks for a moment before responding with, "the computer monitors, was that you as well?"

yus. i wanted to help. i.. i didn't know how to help. i dont like it when people cheat. and i especially dont like it when people use my magic for bad :(

Spider, "do you know why they were using you? Cause something about it was ..weird"

its part of my magic. i have the ability to cause glitches in the world. most of the time, i just do it cuz its fun, but there are people out there that see my power and want it all for themselves. its cheating. >:C it wasnt a power i asked for.

The glowing red glows intensely, as if showing Error's anger.

Spider glances at the crystal slightly concerned and her mind whirring, "and who was it? You never know we might be able to find them."

The gem seems to calm down dramatically.

...i. dont know. im just a soul shard, part of error's main soul. i dont have eyes, ears, or anything. im just. me. even so i wanna help.

"and I can appreciate that." Spider sighs, "something I don't get is why all the trials were set up, I knew it was a trap I just don't get why."

idk myself. maybe the bad guy wanted to watch us suffer? or maybe... no. i dont have proof. all i know is that trial 2 was impossible to beat. they cheated :<

"What was the original trial 2?"

Basically u’d have to choose a door out of 20 and if u didn’t pick the right one, you’d die. I had to glitch it so it wouldn’t kill you guys. I think… it was on purpose to call me out, maybe to see what i would do. All i know is whoever designed this trial thing, they had some goal in mind, but i have no idea what it is :(

"you keep saying they cheated, how come?"

tl;dr and idk why its like this, but they wanted to give u guys a chance to rescue them. or it was some FUCKED UP EXPERIMENT. >:C

The gem glows intense red once more in its anger.

Spider looks at the gem and then decides to push their luck a bit, "there were a lot of jars there."

souls. most likely experimented on. i dont like experiments. they hurt. flora was the only scientist that was nice to me :c

Remembering Flora causes the gem to calm down once more.

"Flora eh?" Spider looks at the gem then back the inscription a curious expression on her face.

ye. she was a really nice lady who loved creatures of legend like me. she was killed though :(
Its gem now turns blue. In addition to Error's message, the phrase: Magical Index Mode active.
appears

Spider exhales deeply, "I'm sorry." Then the gem catches her attention, "what are you doing now?"

Summarizing :) basically blue means i can tell you about magical abilities, red identifies creatures of legend, and green identifies magic users and gives u a description of what they can do. Plus u get some of my power too if u use me :3 Of course the glitch guy ges the cool shit right? :p

Spider can't help but chuckle at the last message, "depends on what that entails honestly."

you’ll see~ just note that my power only works on things that come from my world. u probably wont affect shit from other worlds, the gods call it balancing or some shit, its a long story. well uh i need to conserve my mana so if you need me, you know where to find me. peace :)

The Sword goes dormant from there and the gem turns grey. The inscription fades from the hilt.
