The sword is named “Lua” after the Roman goddess to whom soldiers sacrificed captured weapons to. Named such to signify being above all other swords on the battlefield. In my version the blood of the fallen by this sword would charge the weapon up and make it sharper, able to cut through anything as battle went on. It also made it exponentially more durable. It would start to give off a noticeable glow.

“The entry should be an image of the weapon only”.
Overlooked the “image of weapon only” part. Here is “Lua” by itself.

Sorry for the “celestial” theme, but I can’t help but imagine it in any other way. The weapon is called “The Sword of The Will” and is one of three artifacts connected to Truth, Power, and Law.
The Valor Blade

This sword is enchanted to greatly increase the wielder’s speed, strength, agility, and stamina. The blade can slice through nearly any material. Additionally, the light it emits inspires hope and courage in others to withstand the forces of evil.
“Gorgasm” a giant, high-tech saw blade that doubles as a long range laser/rifle wielded by my Original character “Tragik”

Grimshall
Forged in the pits of Tartarus, its power is matched by no other. Able to kill any being, either mortal, immortal, undead, god or demon, this sword gives its owner absolute rule over any dominion.
It uses the souls of the beings it has slain as added power, the more souls it collects…the more powerful it becomes.
It is known as ” The Immortal Killer”

The Dragon’s Eye

Forged from a strange meteoric metal, dragon bones, teeth, horns and the actual living eye of a ancient gold dragon.
THE REJUVENATOR:https://www.deviantart.com/nerd0and0proud/art/NerdAndProud-The-Rejuvinator-814047358?ga_submit_new=10%3A1569090820&fbclid=IwAR0Hs-Yx6a8OWjkVZcbEa6H1y-XY_Z_1eeXgSvcVuMR4eeEtEhF675ycK68
An ancient and evil staff, with the power to control the minds of others. It can be used to wipe, read, and control minds. It is called the rejuvenator because it is often used by dark rulers to shape their subjects into perfect versions of themselves. It is usually used as a staff or scepter, but has often also been used in combat. The magic it wields also makes it incredibly lightweight. This magic also allows the user to alter its length, creating more options for gripping and defensive moves. The staff is usually wielded by a dark king who rules over his land with an iron fist.
The Sword of Death & The Shield of Life

Long ago, there was a sorcerer who wanted nothing more than to live forever, but being a learned man of various ways and means in the magical arts, the sorcerer knew that one fundamental principle above all was eternally inviolable “Nothing comes without a price.”
While the will and desire to live might be infinite, the energy needed to sustain a mortal form is not. So the sorcerer devised a blade which would leave no wound upon flesh or bone, but would instead draw forth and absorb the life force of whosoever it should cut. Next the Sorcerer created a shield, linked to the sword, which would convert the energy stolen from one host, into a healing power that could sustain the body of it’s barer.
With these two items, the sorcerer lived long enough to see everyone he’d ever loved or cared about not only die, but fade far enough into the past to be forgotten by all but himself. He lived long enough to see the civilized world itself become a thing of antiquity.
Centuries after his home city had been reduced to ruins and the very capitol of mighty Atlantis had been razed in wars between clashing mages, the sorcerer lived on, seeing the final curse of the Atlantians against their foes spiral out of control, making all it touched into dull witted savages. The sorcerer witnessed mankind slide further and further into ignorance and barbarism
Unable to fathom living on in a world filled with only brutish animals, the sorcerer concocted a cure for the Curse of Atlantis. It would take the form of a fruit that would slowly chip away at the magic’s effect, though it would take millennia for the effect to undo the curse and once again, it would require a price. To imbue a tree with the magic to sustain itself long enough to keep bearing fruit for enough generations to undo the Atlantian Curse, the sorcerer would need to give his own life. A steep price to be sure, but little enough when balanced against the horror of watching humanity rendered into a permanent state of savagery.
So the sorcerer sealed his weapons in a cave, went to the garden he’d prepared for his tree and whispered a prayer to any gods who might be listening to grant whatever mercy they would give to the fallen race of man.
