“So what do you have to show me, Arx?”
Arx had invited Heath over to A-202 to show him something.
They stood in the large water filled temple that Arx’s adoptive father Levithan once called home.
Arx smiled “well my friend, my dearest departed father Levithan had a weapon that i think you’d have great interest in”
Heath chuckled "I don't really need a weapon but it sure sounds interesting”
Arx made a fake sighed “oh you don't need a weapon?, i just thought a war hammer that could make hurricanes would fit your vibe but i guess if you dont want it i could always give it sterling, tho it would likely become a hat rack in his hands, not many are big enough to wield shell breaker”
Heath then got curious “ok hey now, you got my attention now, tell me more”
Arx smiled “shell breaker is the mightiest weapon built by Ordric the smith king, said to be the last relative of the first beast king Orion the manticore, Ordric gifted shell breaker to Leviathan after he became beast king, mind you Leviathan was huge not bulky like you, but he was eleven foot tall and could wield shell breaker like nobodies business”
Heath then got excited “so why do they call it shell breaker?”
Arx grinned "because storm breaker was copyrighted”
Heath sighed “how long have you been waiting to use that joke?”
Arx giggled “ever since we had that marvel movie marathon”
Heath sighed and arx stopped laughing for a moment “its called shell breaker as its powerful enough to crack the hide of a kraken, now all we need to do is find it, sadly we do have to a but grave robing as Levithan was buried with the weapon”
Heath sighed “thats perfect”
Arx chuckled “to be fair its more of a custom, leviathan did it with first ever beast king”
Heath shrugged “so where is he buried?”
Arx pointed at a door at the base of a giant statue in the temple “in his statue”
Heath sighed “of course it is”
Arx shrugged “just wait here ya big baby, ill go get the hammer”
Heath rolled his eyes but didn't object.
Arx opened the door in the statue and he saw the giant stone coffin, the king chimera sighed “hey pops its been a bit…im gonna take shell breaker from ya…for a friend, of course you know id never be able to wield her, but uh…i met someone who can, you’d of liked him hes quite bold rather headstrong much like fenrir actually now that i think about it”
Arx pushed the stone coffin open and there he was, the sixth beast king leviathan, at least what left of him, in the coffin was an eleven foot skeleton of what was once Arx’s adoptive father…Arx hated that term in all forms of the word Levithan was Arx’s father, Ortis didn't get that privilege not yet maybe not ever.
Right next to the skeletal remains was a large war hammer “hey girl, im getting ya out of here and back to action.
He lifted the weapon out of the bony hands of Leviathan and out of the coffin.
“Thanks dad”
He pushed the coffin lid closed and dragged the huge hammer to heath.
“She’s all yours hurricane, look after her will ya”
Heath gave the hammer a test swing “yeah ill keep up with her maintenance, is Vasilia someone you’d trust with it?”
Arx nodded “yeah of course, now lets get back to the sharp tank before Mara thinks we're out killing each other or something”
Heath shrigged “i mean i could kill you really easily i mean my larg hands around around your head and snap goes your neck i could even bury you with your dad”
Arx sighed “im not sleeping tonight thank you heath”
Heath chuckled and wrapped an arm around the chimera “any time Arx”
