No, legendary sword, the hive sword is an actual hive relic.
English
-
[i]You stab the creature in midair, impaling it. Before it dies, it scratches you one last time. You turn back to see that your red Hive sword is moving on its own. It’s been stabbing the other 2 monsters repeatedly during your battle.[/i]
-
I shift to a defensive stance, ready for my sword to turn on me at any second. All the while feeling proud that it has taken up my old habits.
-
[i]The sword turns towards you and flies at you. However, instead of attacking you while you were in your defensive stance, it flies into your hand, no longer moving.[/i]

-
[i]You see a light at the end of the north passage, no more enemies in sight.[/i]
-
I go North
-
[i]Before you reach the light, you hear a strange voice from above the wall next to you.[/i] [b]???:[/b] What a strange sword you have there. It seems to have gained a mind of its own.
-
“Hello HiddenContrast” I turn toward the figure. “And yes, I guess it does... Was this your doing?”
-
[b]HiddenContrast:[/b] Oh, so you know about me? *chuckles* I guess I have received a bit of a reputation recently. Did you enjoy my Crimson Drop? It’s a new parasite I discovered. It seems to be attracted to dark types of magic. That sword of yours is now its home. I wanted to see if it could be weaponized, so you seemed like a great test subject.
-
Can I keep it?
-
[b]HiddenContrast:[/b] Of course. Think of it as a gift. Just report anything new going on with it. You should go on ahead and finish your run.

Edited by HiddenAlignment: 10/30/2019 8:34:44 PM[b]HiddenContrast:[/b] Now that’s a long story that we don’t have time for at the moment. Let’s just say that we didn’t see eye to eye back when we had to stick together. I’m sure I’ll tell you the full story someday. [i][b]Contrast[/b] fades away, leaving you all alone with your Crimson Drop infused Hive sword.[/i]

I realize the hive-dog had gotten into the candy. It returns to normal form, leaving only the wrappers in the bucket. I walk out.
-
[i]You reach the light at the end of the passage. [b]Alignment[/b] is there sitting on a couch.[/i] [b]HiddenAlignment:[/b] Hello, Mr. Dragoon. How was your trip?
-
“Fulfilling, to a certain point” The hive sword glows and once again morphs into a dog. I show him the wrappers
-
[b]HiddenAlignment:[/b] What the— WHAT IS THAT?! Why is the candy gone?!
-
The Hive-dog barfs up the candy, now covered in what appears to be the blood of its enemies, It starts licking it. I look at Alignment. “I think that about sums up your second question, and as for the first, you already seem to be acquainted with the one who developed this. So ask them”

Edited by HiddenAlignment: 10/30/2019 11:04:54 PM[i][b]Alignment[/b] stares at the candy barf for a moment.[/i] [b]HiddenAlignment:[/b] You know what? I’m not gonna ask what you mean by that and give you a C because you brought me vomit instead of candy. Good day sir. [i]The world around you fades away and you return to where you were before you entered Gray Sector.[/i]
