Part 897: Owain A

Well? Have you come up with a name for that sword yet?

I'm still not sure where to start. ...Or WHY to start, honestly.

Come on! A fine sword like that practically shouts its name at you! Just listen! Shhhh... Liiiiisten...

..... ...Nope. Apparently I don't speak sword.

Help me out here, Owain. What does it say to you?

Hmm... This sword wants to be named... Flameclaw Wyvernborn the Foe-Slayer!

That's very... long.

Okay, then. What about this spear?

Ha! I already named that one! That's the Skyfire Lightning-Slicer!

Um... you don't really slice things with a spear, Owain.

Skyfire Lightning-Poker!

..... All... right then.

Left speechless, huh? I can't blame you.

Remind me again how this is mental warfare and not just you being mental?

You'll understand once I carve the name into the weapon. Here, watch...Impressive, right?!

Strangely enough, yes. It does look better.

A weapon with a stronger name makes the wielder feel stronger, too!It fills you with confidence on the field of battle and lets you fight to your fullest!

That kind of makes sense. ...Which scares me.

So let's get you started. Think of a good name, and then carve it into your blade!

All right, I will!

*Later*

All done?

It's... a masterpiece!

Ha ha! That's the spirit! Let's have a look.

Mmm, what do you think? A vast improvement over your ridiculous names, I think you'll agree.

Inigo, these are just the names of girls who spurned your advances....Gods, there must be two hundred names on this thing!

Mental warfare, my friend. With no more room for names, I HAVE to succeed!

Yeah, but you carved out half the metal! The sword's totally worthless now!

Oh... Whoops.
