Shining Midnight Black

Glow Of The Moon
His hands firmly gripping his two blades, Jason took a stance, lifting the larger one and pointing it directly at Hiroto. Under the dim forest sunlight, the blade cast an eerie glow from it's polished black finish.

Solele's eyes quivered as she took in these swords. Perhaps it was her Esper heritage but she felt...something from these blades. Nothing like the dagger Jason used to wield, these blades were giving off an immense power, they almost felt otherworldly. "What...what is this?" She stammered, her gaze locked on the blades Jason referred to as the Ekitokuan.

"This is Ekitokuan, one of the ten Divine Tools." Jason flashed the smaller blade in his fiance's direction. "To my knowledge, they were created specifically a means to fight homunculi-"

"What?" Solele cut him off sharply. "Is that some kind of bad fruit?"

"...." Jason flashed her an exasperated expression that spoke volumes of frustration at that remark. "They're bio-humans, created by Giselle herself. During the time when the homunculi were mass-produced as bio-weapons, the concept of these Divine Tools were conceived as a way to fight against them." Jason, however, remembered that Hiroto was still standing there. "I suppose explaining further will just be revealing my entire hand to the enemy. Solele, I'll fill you in on the rest after this one is taken care of."

"...I can't help but feel we just avoided a cliché." The girl quipped.
