Lynn exhaled an exasperated breath and folded her arms. "Are there any other mythical swords that you just 'happen' to know the locations of?"

He scratched his brow. "Uh... hmm."

She waited but not for very long. "You're not going to answer that question, are you?"

"I probably shouldn't..."

She backed up a few steps and leaned against the pitch black wall behind her. "Why did you even bring up the Sword of Unso, then? Just to tease me? That's pretty mean, you know."

Oh, shit, uh. "Actually, I was wondering if you knew anything about what powers it might have."

"You know its location but you don't know that?"

"Well, I've heard some things, but I'm not too sure..."

"What sort of things?"

He supposed he could part with that much intel, at least. "Like... it can cut through almost any material."

"Hmm. That might be one way of describing it. As I recall, the Sword Unso was special because it could create 'pathways.' By cutting. Through just about anything, like you said. Even air."

"Huh..."

"In the hands of a skilled warrior, it was supposedly able to carve out an entire tunnel through a mountain--or even make a bridge over a river."

"Whoa. But wait, it could actually build a bridge? Like out of stone or something?"

"No, I think it's made out of air. Like the bridge would be invisible to the naked eye, but you could walk on it. I guess. It was just a cool story, I always thought. I have no idea how it would function in reality, but that was how it was described."

"Interesting..." That didn't quite track with what the team in Vantalay had reported of its capabilities after fighting the Killer. Was that because the tale was only half-true? Or could it be that the Killer just hadn't revealed all of its powers to the Rainlords yet?

He supposed he should pass that information along, just in case. Better safe than sorry. And heck, maybe it would help them take down Croll.
