Liane and Avis walked silently. They srrived at the weapon creation area and a player came and greeted them.

" Yo, Liane, came back for a better weapon? I've got even heavier swords than the one I created for you." He said as he took a moment to look away from his work.

" Nah, but my friend here does need a new weapon and a burster if one is available. " Liane replied.

The guy looked at Avis and examined her. He gasped and said " You're Nightowl, I'm one of your biggest fan. Do you want to go hunt in the Nightprowler area? It would be fun and perhaps a little too spooky. "

Avis shook her head and said " Not now, but I guess I can go with you on my free time. "

" What kind of weapon do you use." The man paused and looked at her " Wait, you're new to Aetheria. Ohhh, this is so exciting, I'm the one who will create Nightowl's first weapon!" He was so excited that he squeeled.

" Um, I've already got a weapon." Avis said as she showed him her Burster.

" Bursters are not really weapons, they are more like...... erm, spells." There was a flash of disappointment on his face, but he lightened  up and said  " By the way, my name's Helio, I'm a human. "

" My in game name is Avis, and I guess, technically, I'm a Sylph."

" What kind of weapon are you looking for? "

" Well, I want something that is not too heavy and it doesn't really involve high speed stats because I'd perfer to increase other stats. "

Helio looked at her blankly and said in a soft tone " Uhhh, there are no levels in the game which would give you skill points."

Avis was shocked and asked " So how so we increase our skill points?"

" By training. For example, you want to increase endurance, then you need to run, fly or do something for a very long time. Even if you're tired, you can't stop. "

Avis pondered on this and said " I think I know what weapon I'd like. I'd like a sword."

" Erm.... the game has hundreds of types of sword, could you specicify the type or what stats you're looking for?"

" Well, I'd like a sword that can deal a lot of damage, but it doesn't rely on power or speed. "

" ooooo, now this is a challenge. Do you mind if I add bursters to it?"

" Not at all."

Helio slid down his goggles and went to work.
