Early years before Rhea [10]

As Jen kept on hammering away at the weapon I began to feel something almost like a new life being born. The weapon although not exactly a Zanpakuto due to the fact I didn't know much about forging a soul into a weapon, but this felt like it was alive atleast. Freshly born but giving off powerful waves of energy.

The first of the swords were done and it was magnificent as to be expected from the God of forging. With the understanding of how to handle my flame Jen began on the next weapon and honestly i didn't pay much attention for the weapons that followed but the gave power on the same level as the first sword. Each of them felt unique but incomplete maybe I would have to figure out how to give the weapons souls. I was thinking maybe a ritual would be a good option for this as it was probably the most effective way to to bond the souls to the weapons. I just had to find the right creatures mythical or otherwise for them. Seven swords would require seven souls maybe the ritual should also be done on the seventh night of the seventh month, having that many 7s in the ritual would probably make the completed weapons all the more powerful, maybe even enough to fuck with God level beings when it's all said and done.

Jen: it's done take me home now please.

Kronos: of course.

With a quick grab of Jens shoulder and a leap between realm I was back now to go to the realm that holds all the mythical creatures of mythology to get these weapons souls, but what was I to hold them in as I figure out the ritual, then it came to me there was a type of vine in the spirit realm that could hold spirits.

With a path forward I began my quest for the best souls I could find to complete my weapons I had plenty of time to complete everything I would need for this as an idea to hunt down the creatures of myths to harvest souls was a little edge lord but what can I say I'm kinda loving the idea of being the slayer of mythological creatures to harvest their souls to make my self more powerful. The first soul I would hunt down would be of the Norse myth Fenris, then it would be a Cerberus from Greek myth, then a Sphinx from Egyptian myth, followed by a unicorn, then a dragon from Chinese myth, a basilisk and for the final soul I'll hunt down a 9 tailed kitsune which will be the soul for the sword I use as the are believed to have a different power for each tail they have.

I hop to the underworld to aquire the vines I'll use for the souls of these creatures and then I jump to the realm of mythical creatures for the first time and it's a sight to behold. As I appeared at the top of a mountain I can see frozen tundra to my north and forest and open plains to my south. Standing there I begin my search using another Harry Potter inspired spell called point me to lead me to the closest fenris. Now I didn't believe that there would only be 1 of fenris considering wolves give birth to quite a few pups so chances are that they are a species of wolf in this realm. It didn't take me long to find a pack of them and they were big, like dump truck big but I knew what needed to be done. I had to separate 1 of them from the pack so I used a concentrated burst of fiendfyre to separate the 1 I believe to be the alpha from its pack. What followed next wasn't much of a fight as while it was distract I appeared behind it with a burst of speed and cut off its head. I wasn't 1 for fanfare or long fights if I see an opportunity to strike I'll take it.

The vines worked as intended as the soul was bound so I walk over to the body and hop back to my main realm to place the soul and body in storage until I was ready for the rituals. With the spells and a few strategies I made quick work of acquiring all the creatures I set out to retrieve.

I took me 10 years but I was finally done with the ritual that was gonna be used to complete the weapons. It was the day for the ritual and I spent quite some time preparing for this I was extremely lucky it was as it was a solar eclipse so the celestial event would strengthen the ritual.

The eclipse began began and I started the ritual. Seven weapons forged by a master smith. Seven souls taken by my hand to give life to weapons. Seven drops of blood from the body's of the souls enhanced by magic to give them power. Then I felt it, the draining of my magic and the completion of the ritual. I took the kitsune blade and moved to a different ritual circle as I still a bit of time before the end of the eclipse. Blood willing given to bind the sword to my lineage. A piece of my soul willing given to bind the sword to all my reincarnations and magic given freely to to make us one.

It was painful when the ritual was taking my soul but upon completion I felt a sense of euphoria as the sword and I truly became one.
