One of them... died, in the war, and the Swordian was then possessed by another spirit." Leon scowled and looked away. That he would not discuss further.

The making of Swordians was well beyond us." Leon sighed, and rubbed his forehead with his good hand. So much pain and destruction, over that ancient technology. "I could use my own energy to create certain attacks beyond the physical, on my own, but without Chaltier I was not able to summon stone out of thin air, for instance."
